>>1044947
Is that Graetz brand tv?
I have one and I want some opinions about their crt's.

>>1044962

Livin the dream I see

>>1044947
If you just set everything up why is it so messy? Like that is a disaster, and what the fuck are on those n64 sticks?

>>1044947
Looks both fun and depressing. I'm sure there's a German word for that.

>>1044947
Not extravagant, but functional.
Cluttered in spots, but everything looks clean (not dirty).

I'd game with you OP.

>>1045030
textile tape for more grip.

Invest in some furniture FFS.

all that stuff looks like salvaged junkyard two-by-fours nailed together. Furniture isn't even expensive in this day and age, you can get almost any item for like $50 or less.

>>1044947
Why do people own Super Famicoms besides collecting and what games do you play on them?

>>1044993
ohh yea.

>>1045063
i don't know
but it's not gemütlichkeit

>>1045350
It's propably a PAL SNES, not a Super Famicom, considering he's German.

here ya go... taken with my phone, so, the systems themselves are a bit blurry

>>1045350
Europe has games on SNES, too, you know.

>>1045372
Is your toploader av modded? Also, why have both out at the same time?

>>1045392
i have them all out for display purposes. the only consoles that are connected are the front loader NES, SNES, Sega Saturn, PS3, Wii, and 360. soon, after I buy another AV switcher, the N64, saturn, and dreamcast will also be hooked up.

No, my toploader isn't AV modded. I have no idea how to do that.

My set up just now, have more consoles but this is what i want to have out just now.

from the other side so you can see my mega drive, Mega Cd and 32X :)

>>1045412
Been thinking about doing something like this. Tell me, what exactly is emitting that blue light? An led strip?

alright, i'll bite

>>1045418
yeah mate, got it from a shop called maplin. It also changes colors. here's a pic of it in red.

>>1045416
>>1045412
i wish i had room to build a shelf like that!

>>1045412
>>1045416
I don't see any cables, are these just for display?

>>1045410
Aw, ok.) I use my toploader more than my toaster nes to preserve it.

>>1045350
the donkey kong countries are still great, the earthworm jims are still great to look at, super street fighter 2 is still a great game to play all night.

>>1045428
no, that was just when i built my case lol, just took this pic for you :) and yeah im watching raw lol.

>>1045437
That's pretty fuckin neato. Do you have to change which system is plugged in when you want to play them, or do you have some kind of 10-way switcher?

>>1045442
well the snes, and game cube take the same so do the psx and ps2 AV so thats ok, i have switchers for the rest you can see one just to left of my tv. i have more consoles but these are the ones i use the most.

>>1045410
oops. i said "after i buy another av, I'll have a saturn hooked up" saturn is already hooked up though. I'm not sure what I'll put in the spare spot though. maybe a genesis or something.

>>1045539
>Bob's Burgers
my nigga

>>1045539
I envy that room.

>>1045539
What's it like to not feel cramped all the time?

>>1045361
>>1045373
Well yes I can see that he is from europe but I am referring to all these people that collect the Japanese carts and I just have to wonder what the fun is in playing em. Also inb4 just to collect because in my mind. I see it as sensless to collect video games and never play them.

>>1045684
I have Super Bomberman 3–5, Flying Hero and Parodius simply because they weren't released in the States, but I want to play them. And that's the only reason I have Japanese games.

>>1045684
>I just have to wonder what the fun is in playing em
For all you know, the person could know how to read japanese.

One reason to pick up japanese carts is that they're often times much cheaper than their western equivalent. Unless it's an RPG, you can usually play through a game with out even needing to read any of it.

>>1045675
Hey it's you again, remember this?

>>1045739
Yeah; Like I said before, I moved him right after I took the picture.

>>1045749

Setup in the living room

>>1045769

>>1045773
And this is the small TV setup in the bedroom

>>1045675
Dem Eevelotion plushes

Current setup. Also have assorted handhelds aside from the 3DS/vita, but they are just gameboy variants. Trying to get a working gamegear.

>>1045775
>Dragonball Z, Batman TAS, and Transformers DVDs
Muh Nigga!

>>1045539

holy shit that atari jaguar banner...

>>1045774

>>1045775
>riven
the most important game of my life when i was 4.

>>1045774
This is in the living room as well, a little station set up for the Atari 2600

>>1044947
wrap up your controllers when you're not using them you grubby fuck

>>1045350
"look at all those Europeans playing their Genesis games on Japanese megadrives! look at them playing their games on Japanese SNES!"

Bloody yanks, you should know by now that shit is only redesigned and renamed in USA.

>>1047605
nevar

also:
i have about 8 spare snes controllers and an original, sealed n64 controller.

are hori controllers for n64 easily available now?

>>1045775
Curious, what exactly do you sit on when you play? That floor looks... uncomfortable.

>>1047658
>Lylat Wars

>>1047293
That looks really nice! ^^

>>1047293
its like ive gone back in time

These threads make me jealous
I'm going to uni in a week but when i get my own place I still wont know if i'll be able to take my mame cab.
I want to eventually set up my master system, megadrive, ps3, pc and save up for a new naomi cab.

>>1047658
>Probotector

>>1047791
I'm in community college right now, and still live with my parents. I have so many systems that I have no more space. I know tfw you want your own place. Sometime, but not any time soon. :( I feel sad now.

>>1045675

We have the same PC tower. I like you.

>>1047661

>>1045372
Right side of the tv nicely organized; left could use a little work; minus points for hdtv

>>1045539
The clean look is really good.

>>1045675
Those powerstrips are scary but it looks strangely cozy. I like your pvm too, whats above it?

>>1045751
I really like this one, great retro setup. What is the snes game?

>>1045775
Great shelves and organization but that console clutter on the floor is terrible.


Just my opinion but thanks everyone for sharing their setup.

>>1047976
>Those powerstrips are scary
You don't know the half of it; They're on ground cheaters.

>whats above it?
Samsung GXTV.

>>1047712
A shitty "gaming" chair I found at a yard sale for like $5. I just moved it out of the picture. Before it was just my computer chair. Before that when I had my apartment it was an actual couch, but oh well.

>>1047976
>that console clutter on the floor is terrible.

Oh, trust me, I know. I just wish I had a better entertainment center to put things on. The little shelf underneath the whole thing is barely big enough to fit the PS2.

In a most unusual situation:

Recently moved into a new apartment.
Getting the ceiling light in the room replaced and new curtains.
Slowly unpacking retro vidya, so far just a 360 and GCN
Also got a N64, Sega Genesis/CD, and PS1 that are waiting to be unpacked and arranged in my little CRT corner.
Got a long way to go...

>>1044947
What is that handheld on the table ?

>>1045539
No crt 0/10

>>1049030
pikachu edition 3ds and
millenium sega handheld, with megadrive(genesis) and gamegear games preinstalled.

>>1044947
I know the feel man. Well, no I don't, I still live at home. I just got a cat though, so where my bedroom used to be a haven for videogames, I had to pack up everything save for my wii. Little fucker likes to chew on my wires, and I value my /vr/ gear too much to risk it. If it stays packed up for a year while I finish school, I can deal with that.

I'm a 20 y.o. male, college made me poor, haven't bought anything video game related in 3 years. Looking forward to splurging after I graduate. Things on my super wish list:
everdrives (n64) (SNES)
flashcart (GBA)
also a new ds, my fat old original ds finally kicked the bucket after 9 years loyal service
sega saturn games (I have 1, and it's Astal)

Also, weekly flea market trips, I miss the hell out of those. Picked up most of my gear from there between 2007-2010

No one ever comes into my room though, so it's not like anyone's comin over to game with me. Looking forward to having a dedicated game room!

These kinds of threads make me jealous of you guys with space and shelves and stuff. Maybe I should finally move out of my tiny studio and get something with enough room to really dork it up.

>>1045350
That's a PAL SNES you gargantuan faggot.

>>1044947
>PAL consoles

>>1049095

Not yours and not /vr/. That being said, I've always thought that shit was comfy as hell.

>>1049115
>a fucking dungeon with nothing but a towel to lay on

yeah, pure comfort

>>1049117

>2013
>Not liking dungeons

Besides, if you have a problem with the towel, bring a few pillows, mortal.

>>1049115
>not yours

no shit sherlock

>gamecube not /vr/

please kill yourself for the betterment of this fine board

>>1049119
>gamecube not /vr/

Well...it's not.

>>1049123
2 gens old seems perfectly acceptable yer fookin knob

>>1049125
>This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro (including the Dreamcast).

>>1049163
Not the guy, but I always thought that definition was completely arbitrary.

>>1049175

It makes sense that way, the 6th gen ended like 7 years ago, and still saw some releases beyond that. It's not going to be "retro" for awhile.

>>1049175
Seems pretty clear to me. The Gamecube was launched after 1999, thus not /vr/. I'd like to discuss the 'cube here, but that's how it is.

Christ, I thought we just had this thread. Oh well, here's mine again.

>>1051074
Neo geo you rich bastard what neo geo games do you have ?

>>1047891
>tfw I had that computer tower, but for some reason the usb ports were (what I perceive to be, because it really doesn't matter) upside down, and I eventually broke them all off by sitting weird in my chair and kicking them.

It's still hiding in my closet somewhere though.

>>1051140
>implying MVS games are expensive

>been collecting since I was a kid, but I never collected ina 'retro' way, i always just bought whatever games I liked and whatnot each gen
>have a decent collection
>most collections nowdays are from people way younger than me, and they have a lot of rare japanese consoles and games

I mean, wow, I'm jelly and all but sometimes I wonder if you people actually enjoy all these games or only do it for hipster cred

the reddit speech doesn't help me think otherwise either

>>1052706

I do it because I like collecting video games. I'm hardly going to get "hipster cred" posting my collectiong on /vr/ of all places.

>>1051140
I buy MVS so no, I'm not rich. I just save and buy when the time is nigh. So far, for the MVS, it's Real Bout Special, KOF '96, Ultimate 11, Fighter's History Dynamite, Metal Slug, and most recently, Garou: Mark of the Wolves.
