/vr/ - Retro Games

That looks more like a Spookystation. Turn on some mood lights.

>>3579467
I can barely see anything, turn on some lights and take a new picture.

Here is my nostalgia/retro room.

>>3579467

Looks like a rape den to me.

Nabbed that same fox and hound vinyl at a flea market, now we're the best of friends

>>3579515
It's a pretty sweet vinyl. I really like picture-discs. How much did you get it for?

>>3579515
>>3579519
Is it a record or a slipmat?

>>3579538
a record.

>>3579467
>>3579504
That can't be good for your eyes.

>>3579467
I'm feelin' pretty comfy right now.
>>3579490
Very nice

>>3580863
thanks logman, you too!

>>3579490
Is that a Dreamcast keyboard?

>>3581038
It is.Typing of the dead is just too much fun.

>>3579490
I wish this person would redo this entire room. Looks cluttered and cheap.

>>3581107
Pictures don't do it justice. there is a lot of space.

is link to the past the comfiest zelda?
i think so

It is what it is

>>3581096

I have the exact same Sony HD CRT. What's the best way to reduce lag when using it?

I have a Wii under the table for muh retro games and Netflix.

>>3580863
Holy shit, what a nice place.

>>3579467
Planning to pick up a nice coffee table from IKEA if I don't find anything worthwhile from the upcoming garage sales.

This is my comfystation. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

>>3581137
It's neat, i like it. But for the consoles above the tv?

Do the controller cables get in the way?

Have you got some kind of hook to keep them awa from the screen?

>>3580927
:)
>>3582123
Thanks, there's a third station too but we're not allowed to talk about it here and it's still a work in progress (needs a proper stand and a 16:9 hdcrt). The entire cabin is a game room, helps with winter boredom.

>>3582176
Thanks. No hook, I sort of drape them around the shelf or Tv.

newly updated (rearranged for neck reasons)

>>3581115
Close, but link's awakening played on the super gameboy is!

>>3581137
I have this same tv that I found on a sidelwalk near my place, I always thought the little missing black part thing on the left edge of the screen was damage!

>>3582972
really digging this setup, really nice trinitron you got there. I usually don't like how people display amiboos but this is really clean. Your keyboard looks like it feels really good to press lol

>>3583003
Thanks, anon. I saved the Trinitron from the trash at the last college I worked at, and I take pride in displaying my amiibos 'tastefully'. Also that keyboard is like $30 on amazon, fake MX blacks; it's great for the price, but not my favorite board.

>>3579467
>LoZ:ALttP

my african-american

>>3583010
Sweet, i'll check it out. Looks like one of those old Apple mechanical keyboards

>>3583036
All my good boards are vintage apple, those are my favorites.

Steel Battalion is a 4:3 only game, try to get a 4:3 ED/HD CRT for it so the picture doesn't stretch unless you don't mind black bars along the sides

>>3584425
I don't mind pillarboxing, I have 2x 4:3 36" SD CRT and would like to add a 16:9 HD to the fold for widescreen games and movies. Thanks for the heads up though.

>>3582320
I know it's not retro, but i'm insanely jealous of that setup. Never even tried steel battalion.

>>3580863

Can I live here with you?

>>3583063
ha
>>3585762
It's hard and slow, kind of like a flight sim with mechs. My brother bought it brand new. It was $200 or something ridiculous. I enjoy it though because I'm a simfag.

>>3585791
You're not prepared for negative 40-60f cold snaps, 4 hours total daylight on a clear day, 12" snowfalls, solid ice roadways and downed trees in the driveway, armoring up your house and plugging in your car so they don't freeze solid and still having to go about your normal business during it all. Life is tough out here senpaicom.

Just putting snow chains on the car to make the hill after a blizzard can be extremely difficult in the arctic darkness.

There's benefits too though, this is right out the front door. And not at all uncommon to have wildlife come right up to the house if it's quiet.

>>3586327
getting too off topic, I'll stop.
>>3582972
It's a nice setup, the amiibos are lame unless you have kids though.
>>3585784
FZEROX, mitsu tv, vcr, Genesis, good taste sista'.

Is there weed in that beige bag?

Here's when the mitsu was downstairs, its on casters so it was easy to roll it into the utility room when it wasn't getting used.

>>3586327

Where are you? Canada? Vermont? I'm in CT and we just for our first flurries. I'm down with it, I love winter.

>>3586345
Interior Alaska, I live 12 miles from the place where Pedro struck gold and started the gold rush.

>>3586361

Nice dude. We went to Anchorage last year and took a trip to Denali. Fantastic place, we even considered moving to Anchorage but its so far from everyone so we're considering VT or Maine.

How do you find all your gear when you're out in the bush like that?

>>3586369
My family bought most of it new, I'm the only Retro guy so I got most of it all gratis. My aunt has an original SMS CIB she won't let go of for anything though. She's 52? and still plays it.

The TV's I keep ads on craigslist and scour every church, garage, yard sale and craigs post. Found a few games and consoles too. I drove 60 miles round trip to pick up the Mitsubishi tv. Shopping online is a killer because shipping can be silly expensive.

All the local game stuff has dried up though, people are hip to the scene now.

It bugs me I will never find a pro monitor here though, the military and local hospital did away with CRTs years before I even knew they were special. I might snap one day and by a Makvision tri mode monitor and build an enclosure for it. Until then it's s-video life.

Denali is beautiful. I think about moving away but I don't even know what I'd do in a city. THe house in the upper left is my closest human neighbor. They are 1/2 mile + away

I've always enjoyed these threads and seeing what everyone else has but I've never really shared so I feel its finally time for me to post some OC.

I definitely don't have kids, I'm just an unapologetic Nintendo-fanboy.

OK EVERYONE, FUCK IT

PARTY AT THIS GUY'S HOUSE THIS WEEKEND:

>>3586436

I'LL BRING THE CHIPS AND SALSA

>>3582168
What kind of fightpad is that?

>>3586990
A: is The Virtua stick HSS 0104
Decent stick with short throw distance but the buttons are only so so. I like it for my Saturn shooting however.

B: is Hori Fighting stick HPS 07
Decent stick. Nothing spectacular. From my understanding they did plastic versions of this one as well but mine's all metal.

C: Hori non retro tekken x360 fighting stick. Don't really use this one since i don't own many arcadey titles for the 360.

None of the sticks are premium high class sticks but they do the job... for me atleast.

>>3581096
Is that HD CRT worth the room it takes up? I don't have as much room as you, but am looking at getting a CRT alongside my LCD

>>3582120
damn americans

>>3583063
not for my tube, it's for my beatmanias

>>3586436

What do you do for a living up there? I like the idea of moving /out/ but I can't for the life of me think of a way to make money. I'm a city kid now and my life has been food service and restaurants. I don't see a huge market for that in the wild.

So it goes.

>>3587657
>Americans.

I'm just as sickened by that as you. You leave your shoes at the front door in the north.

>>3587678 I work in a gold mine of course. 4 on 3 off ~48 hours a week. 12 hour days are no joke but sometimes I get to do wildlife watch where I drive around in a truck and shitpost all day because the mine has a cellular repeater and wifi. Oh and I honk at animals. I used to be a line cook when I moved back here in but $12-15/hr doesn't provide a very good life up here. If you had a roomate it would be fine though.

I only live about 30 minutes from the second largest city in alaska, we have plenty of food service jobs and I believe McD's starts @ $10/hr now. PFD is getting tanked though was only $800 per person this year and I wouldn't count on it in the future. used to be $1-2k ea.

It also takes a year to get residency if you change your ID and voter registration right away. so you won't get a check until your 2nd year.

You could get into the MJ industry. We just legalized and testing is underway to certify grow ops and dispensaries. Food background would be good experience as you know cleanliness and can multi task and work with shifting deadlines and have an eye for AESTHETICS.

Fairbanks is looking to be the heart of MJ in Alaska as Anchorage Zoning and Regulation board is being pants on head retarded.

>I used to be a line cook when I moved back here in 2006
oops

>>3587686
yup no shoes on up here, we even have house slippers because it gets chilly.

Found a shot from when we first moved in. My setup was so simple then.

>>3587621
Do you have a japanese ps2 anon? Those look like jap games on your shelf. Was it worth it?

>playing retro games in a comfy snowy lake cottage in the woods.

Been doing it my whole life. One of the best feelings ever. Pic related is my driveway.

>>3588412
Nah, it's just a softmodded PAL one.

Work in progress since I only got the pvm a month ago, I either need a better (higher) stand or something like a bean bag chair.
