WolfAmongWolves Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well, here's my collection so far. It's very focused, I collect only 2600 CIBs. I had about 20 games as a kid in the early 80s, before I got a C64 and my 2600 got relegated to a box in the attic. I rediscovered it and started collecting anew about three years ago. Right now my entire collection still fits neatly and recognizably in one picture, but I hope that will change in the future. The only thing is I'm running out of space already; I figure I can fit about 10 more games on those shelves, then I'm going to have to think about redesigning the game room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that they were also sold here in the Atari red boxes; I have Venture in the red box version as well. I just took a look at your collection pics, and I think the CBS boxes look great too, very different design from the CBS boxes sold in the US.

bikeguychicago Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Out of curiosity, do you have any pics of the game room itself? We like pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like pics I'd love to post some more pics, but your request came a day too late. I posted the pic of my collection on the last day before I left for an overseas assignment for my job. Right now I'm in an extended stay hotel in Berlin, and I won't be back home for three months. AA will hopefully help alleviate my Atari withdrawal symptoms while I'm here. If you're still interested in three months, I can post more pics then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You're overseas right now, in Berlin. So you're not german, I take it? Or are you and I am just misunderstanding something? Because I see some german-only games in your collection (top left). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I see some german-only games in your collection (top left). No, you're not misunderstanding. I'm German, but my family moved to the US when I was a little kid, and I've lived in the US pretty much ever since. Because of my background my company usually sends me whenever we have a project in Germany. I always enjoy the stints in Germany, and it gives me the chance to pick up some PAL games as well . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains it. Wish you good hunting on the german flea markets. I dunno how they are in Berlin, but here in my area, you can find some nice stuff now and then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfAmongWolves Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Well, I'm back home and managed to add a few more games to my collection during the past few months. I am now also officially out of room and will have to come up with a solution. When I started collecting a few years ago I thought I'd never get those shelves full... I've also added a picture to give you an idea of the complete setup. I play most of my games on the large TV. The small TV on top is the one I got with my Atari 32 years ago. It has an adjustable vertical hold and is my only means of playing my small collection of PAL games. Although you can't see it on the picture, it also has a faux wood finish so it goes very well with the 2600 woody. Ah, the 80s. My idea right now is to see if I can find a somewhat larger TV with a vertical hold adjustment. Then I could get rid of the setup with the two TVs and maybe add a fourth shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
