Yeah, I'm really happy with this beast. They're actually quite easy to acquire. You can find them for relatively cheap on eBay at the moment, even shipped from China or Taiwan. I had to bring this one in the house myself, which was a pain because it weighs like 240 pounds, but it was worth the slight discount. I have another one with my entire NES and SMS collection in it (which consists of nearly every single NES release (most loose, other than rare games) and EVERY SMS release including a few variants, a complete Japanese set and some really rare stuff. It ALL fits in one cabinet. You close it, and everything looks neat. But you open it, and you're eyes are burned from a hellish fire of games.

Here's a nice one, in fact:

I have this little area in the corner of my office where I put my favorite systems and games. Its in an old glassdoor bookcase my parents had for decades but it stores the games nice and neatly. I currently have a six switch, a 7800, an XEGS, and a top loading NES set up here. The rest of my games and systems are elsewhere in storage but this is my set up for play and display. Some doubles and my 8-bit carts are in a box under the shelfing unit and a box of assorted joysticks and controllers, with my toaster NES, are on the floor too.

 

 

I notice you have the same cartridge holder as I do. The black one that holds two columns of games with a slot underneath for manuals, etc. They are wall mountable and can slot together from any side which is pretty neat. According to the back these were made in Canada and they must have made a bunch of them. I've got no less than 10 of these units that I've picked up in wild -- two that were still slotted together. I've always found these interesting and haven't been able to find any info on them on the net. Just bring it up because I noticed it in your pic and hadn't seen one outside of my collection ever!

back in 1985, I built a cartridge holder for my coleco cartridges. I was always building weird things. I remember having to explain to people what it was. I always said that it was a coffin for my d**k!

One square foot of floor space: Dreamcast, PS1, NES, Jaguar, N64, Turbografx, PS2, along with automatic video selector and power strips, Genesis with Power Base Converter, SNES, (and 7800 on bottom shelf not visible).

 

Extra space required on the left for Colecovision, 5200, CDX, Virtual Boy, assorted hand-helds, attachments, controllers, and favorite games.

Downstairs I have an NES, PS2, and Wii ready to play with all my games upstairs. At my computer I have a 360 which I hook up to the computer monitor since my ethernet cable isn't that long + I wanna play games in HD My other consoles: SNES, 2600, Genesis, N64, Xbox and PS1 are in storage Not very pic-worthy since downstairs I just have my Wii next to my TV and PS2+NES in a cabinet.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, video game collecting is a seasonal activity for me that I pursue only in the cold months. We play all year, but actually seeking out, buying, cleaning up, repairing, etc. is just something for the cold months. During the warm months, in addition to playing video games, we go to theme parks.

 

Anyway, now that it's getting toward the end of the frigid season, I'm just about done for the year. Since I've added a second place to play video games (third, really, if you count the TV in the loft with the PS2 and Jaguar hooked up), I thought I'd document it all here.

 

So, here we go!

 

Here's the primary video game station:

 

 

Here's a closeup of the lower section, with an 800XL, an Intellivision, a TG-16, a 2600, two XF551 disk drives, an SNES, and a NES.

 

 

And here's a closeup of the upper section, with two video switches, one for S-video, and one for composite:

 

 

Here's the second station, with Genesis 2, 5200, 7800, and a 5200 trak-ball:

 

 

Here's where I keep my disks, books, and controllers:

 

 

And here's the game closet (I'll put close-ups of the shelves in the next post):

Here are the close-ups I promised. I'll show them shelf by shelf, top to bottom, starting with the left-hand shelves, then the shelves in the back of the closet.

 

First, the 2600 shelves:

 

 

Then come the 5200 and 7800 carts:

 

 

Next the three shelves of Atari 8-bit carts and disks:

 

Now the back of the closet. Intellivision:

 

NES, TG-16 and Genesis carts, then SNES and Jaguar carts:

 

And finally, PS2 discs, Lynx games (there are more behind the visible row; I ran out of room!), and the Atari binders I keep my 8-bit documentation in:

 

Thanks for coming with me on this tour of my video gaming headquarters.

Nice collection!

[STICH666]

Here's what I've obtained in the past 2 years. And no this isn't all of it.

 

 

 

 

 

I got that for $25 at a garage sale.

I'll be putting up pics of my room shortly. Yes, I have pics in my gallery, but they're way outdated now.

[SRGilbert]

Uhg, my game room is a mess right now, been too lazy to keep it up! I do need to take some updated pics though.

[DaytonaUSA]

Word from the wise: Don't give out your addresses lol. I'd post pics, but honestly, I don't know if I want everyone to see what I have .

Here it is. Apologies if some of the pics are a bit blurry.

NICE area! Very clean and organized That's what I want mine to look like once I get the space.

[+Ransom]

Wow, that's beautiful, ApolloBoy! Very clean and neat.

Thanks for the comments; here's some more...

 

 

And I have even more on the way.

And it's a good thing, too. You're dangerously low on games.

I like your setup.

 

What type of turntable do you have? It's hard to tell but it looks like a JVC receiver and a dual cassette deck under it?

[monzamess]

Wow, so THAT'S what the future looks like! (check your camera date!)

I have a Pioneer PL-707. It's a really nice turntable too. Underneath it I have a JVC receiver and a Sony single tape deck.
