high voltage Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Had lots of shelves and all sorts of games within my main room, now I moved everything non-Atari into a different room. More space now for my PC/printer (not visible) and lots of wall space for VCS. Edited March 22, 2015 by high voltage 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Regarding man caves & gamerooms, the "clean look" is always in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 That's awesome. Where do you keep the actual carts? Are they in the boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandor Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Did you make the shelving or buy is somewhere? I'm looking for something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 @cvga: Yes, carts are kept in the boxes. @Gandor: The big shelf is selfmade, it used to be blue, painted it half white. The other shelves are from Ikea, they are CD/DVD/video shelves. I like those as I can get to Ikea via bus ride, and the packing is 2m high, but not very wide, so with the item I can take a bus ride back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Hey, are those Nintendo plushies I see. LOL I got a ton too! http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=1&catid=5&threadid=136316 But I could never separate my systems into rooms like that, unless I had a metric ton of games. The Nintendos and Ataris will forever share adjacent shelves. Someday when I move in with my fiance I'll be able to better display my games since my bedroom won't have to double as my bedroom. Also, got pics of your other game room? Edited March 23, 2015 by stardust4ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yes, they're nice. Don't like the flying Mario though, should've been a different style perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Okay, what are the non-Atari Nintendo plushies doing in there?! Nice collection, by the way. It sent chills down my spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah, Mario and DK went from arcade to Atari, so they fit (Later Nintendo stole them back for their own consoles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Also, got pics of your other game room? Work in progress (need shelves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeltree Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If I had a room like that my wife would never see me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm always jealous of collectors that have those rows of original Atari boxes.. So beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Thanks some are not original boxes, like Mr Do's Castle, Q Bert Qubes, Picnic and some more Edited March 24, 2015 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfAmongWolves Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Wow, great collection, very nice! What are those boxes on the bottom shelf on the very right (the only shelf that still has some space left)? Some of them look like they just have plain sides, I haven't seen those before.

high voltage Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Thanks The boxes are the German Otto Versand (mail order) remakes, Taiwan rip-offs. 2 carts in the box, two different covers (front and back), no writing on spine.

+Random Terrain Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 @Gandor: The big shelf is selfmade, it used to be blue, painted it half white. I painted a book shelf back in 1999 and everything I put on it stuck to it. Must have been the wrong kind of paint. Stuff still sticks to it.

high voltage Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Also some games are copies, eg Waterworld, Crazy Climber, Elis Ladder, Glib, and a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Okay, what are the non-Atari Nintendo plushies doing in there?! Nice collection, by the way. It sent chills down my spine. See what I mean, Pac-Man for example is a Atari game, according to news rags: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3020361/Now-play-Pac-Man-GOOGLE-MAPS-Search-engine-transforms-streets-giant-version-1980s-Atari-game.html Edited April 1, 2015 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
