Uppy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) So I thought buying a house would help display my collection. It really just helped spread it out. So this collection is a "work in progress". Thanks to all the atariage members who have helped along the way and Mike(www.collectorscardsandgames.com). Also a special thanks to Stupus, FND, and njb12287. Here is my collection starting one room at a time. Here is a few pics of my living room: I do have a Jag CD hiding out in this pick and also my boxed Atari was made in Sunnyvale. Top view. This is a few of my rare Odyssey items one of them being an Overkal. I have my white bally hanging out in this pic. More rooms to follow.

Uppy Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 The spare room. I guess the item I like the most in this room is in the first pic. It is a NOS Wico Trackball for the Odyssey 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uppy Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Did you just move or something? lots of nice stuff. Nice collection. needs organized. I bought my house 8 months ago. Which to some people might seem like a lot of time but ive had bigger issues to deal with. Yard work, buying a mower/snowblower and everything else that comes along with buying a home. As I posted earlier this is a work in progress some hopefully within a year it will look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uppy Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well on to my kids room. He is six and just to let all members know he had no problem with the collection in his room. We play my turbo duo and Neo Geo MVS all the time. Although I did have to buy him a 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uppy Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Last but not least is the basement. I am storing about 15 xboxs down there with a few random items. I live in Northern Minnesota so I have to wait to see how the spring thaw works out. I have an unfinished basement so I hope to fix it up and move my collection there. But im a new home owner and I have to see how things go this spring when things melt. Hopefully in a years time I will have some good pics of an organized collection.

Keatah Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 MESS - 0 - RAMA I thought this shit was gonna spill out into the driveway, then the village, then the county, then the state, and cover the whole continent! Maybe you could show some more pics of the green combat console? Because that console was a transnational console. I played it right alongside my VCS when I got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a mess is not a bad thing to have. The display of my collection will look better with time. Sorry that is the only pic of the combat console.

chas10e Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 yeah plenty of eye candy there how far away did you travel from old place to new? any pics of old setup ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uppy Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) yeah plenty of eye candy there how far away did you travel from old place to new? any pics of old setup ? Sorry no pics of the old setup but I lived in a much smaller apartment so basically after a while a ton of my collection was just boxed up in storage. My collection got to big for the space I lived in. I know other members here have had this problem. Plus I had a lot of this stuff back in my old bedroom at my parents house back home. Luckily the move was only a few miles. Again ive been slow on getting my display done but it will happen. Besides my game collection ive been getting my aquariums set up again etc so it has been a slow process.

RJ Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I was half-expecting to see boxes/items out in the yard. At first I assumed you werent married/involved; most women wouldn't put up with the living room like that. Ever want to ditch some Atari stuff, LMK Im just down in the Cities. Stay warm.

At first I assumed you werent married/involved; most women wouldn't put up with the living room like that. Ever want to ditch some Atari stuff, LMK Im just down in the Cities. Stay warm. Nothing in the yard yet. And no wife at the moment so I can basically make my whole house my man cave. If I do part with atari items ill let you know. Quick question RJ. I'm heading down the cities in April for the Mastodon,Clutch show and a Twins game. Are there any good game shops in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area?

RJ Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Do you want a PM to keep it secret, or just list them here for all to see? Just out of high school, a buddy of mine attended Concordia College up there in the Fargo-Moorhead area, a group of us would take road trips up there to visit him. Good times!

BassGuitari Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Maybe you could show some more pics of the green combat console? Because that console was a transnational console. I played it right alongside my VCS when I got it. Did you mean "transitional?" That's a good word for systems like the Telstar Combat that sort of fall between pongs and programmable consoles.

Uppy Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Damn impressive collection, Uppy! (Did I spy an actual boxed Video Brain in there? ) That is a boxed and working Videobrain. I basically have every cart(most CIB) for the computer also except for the demonstration cartridge. But they are unfortunately boxed up at the moment.

Yes I did. And that is what I typed. But I failed to correct the auto-correct of the phablet I was using at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Nice collection. I'd like to see those nice boxed systems get properly displayed soon, especially that neo geo. I moved about two years ago and I just got around to going through bins upon bins of controllers and such. I of course displayed all my boxed items w/in the 1st week I moved but it was a high priority of mine and it was summer. I'm in the process of making shelving for all my games and systems. it will look sweet when I'm done. It will look like these shelves I just built in the kitchen but they will be 20' across and 4 shelves high with the last 3' being a cart only smaller set-up, and another 4-5' across the other wall. Heres the pic. It is just simple 1x10 whitewood from lowes w/a 1x2 used for the supports. Although majority of my shelves for games will be 1x8 except for the smaller wall which will be 1x10 for my unboxed consoles. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
