Shitty Sega Genesis clone with 100 preloaded games (some really good ones, mostly shit ones though)

>>445247
So I guess the bookcase on the right hand side alluded you.

>>445229
Because a german-black confederate packers fan gamer with a pikachu n64 makes me laugh

old pic but same stuff

there are retro consoles hidden behind some of the furniture

>>445045
did you draw those posters?

>>445273
Not all of us have that much money to burn.

>>445272
Local shop, but you can easily get some woodcrafter to make one for you, plus you get whatever size and wood you want. I actually don't like this shelf, because the space between shelves is HUGE, so there's a lot of wasted space that could mean more shelves if they were tighter together.

>>445241
Admit it, if I didn't have the stars and bars flying it would have nothing out of the ordinary with my picture.

I'll have a CRT next to the flat soon.

I've got a shit quality camera but here is 1/2
This is were I keep what is currently being played. It's a PS2 and a PS3 right now .And you can't see the TV that I've got it attached to (a 32 inch Dynex flat screen tv)

>>445756

...Where's the retro?

>>445756
BUSTED!

>>445778
Part II This holds my games. I've got a lot of DC, PS3, PS2, Genesis and Saturn games. My Saturn is currently out on loan. It's 3 rows deep on the shelf, but I also have a lot of games without cases (and dc games I've burned) and keep them in a case that used to hold blank cd's! Below you can seem my DC and Genesis,

>>445751

Sorry, no, not going this year.

>>445806
Fuck forgot the picture

>>445807
Why do you own a bunch of games 2x?

>>445045
Part 1 of several pics I just took.
This set up is very convenient, but super cluttered. I feel like a hoarder, but I just NEED to play 2 consoles at once.

>>445992
I know this feel, but for me, its 3-fold. 3 tvs baby.

>>445992
My small SNES/NES collection. I am currently working on fortifying my NES. Buying up any games I find at garage sales.

>>446004
That sounds nice. But I would be afraid of being crushed.

>>446009
My Rest of Nintendo/Genesis collection.
Rebuilding my GCN collection, and starting a genesis collection. I Fucking love Primal Rage. I used to play it in my local bowling alley all day. I was glad to find it CiB at my local retro store for pretty cheap.

>>446043
My setup is actually pretty neat

>>445195

>>446043
Also in this pic is my DQ collection. I have just ordered DQ2 to complete the set.

Posted this one before, it's been tidied up but mostly the same.

>>446043
> every Gamecube game is RE
I like that. I like you.

>>446048
Oh yeah, Ive seen you post it before. It seems sturdy enough. I had a minifridge at one point in time, but never used it for whatever reason.
>>446050
VERY conservative PS1 collection, Dreamcast and PS2/Vita shit.

>>446063
>PS Vita

must....hold....back....my.../v/....side....

>>446061
It is the best platform for RE.
>>446063
And check this out, why not! My D2. This game is pretty good, I guess, but the one analog stick hinders it beyond belief.

>>446070
Hush, I have both handhelds. They are equally as inferior to the almighty Gameboy at this point in their lives, but they are both good even still.

>>446078
Speaking of Gameboy, here is my video game paraphernalia shelf with my newly restored Gameboy Pocket!

>>446063
You might as well not have bothered with PS1, but the fact you have two copies of SH3 elevates you to 'my nigga' tier. Also, D2 is one of the horror games that can actually be considered 'rare'.

>>446063
>>446070
>>446078
>>446092
oh boy, more tripfags for the filter

Might as well post my PS1 "collection", don't have anything else retro. The jewel of the collection is coming by snail mail.

>>446097
> not going full anon
this post accomplished nothing.

>>446096
Yeah, PS1 isn't my top priority as I was a retard and sold all my games to EB games to get a PS2. You know. Because I had brain damage or something. I will rebuild in time.

>>446092
Yes, that is a bootleg bubble bobble. Read the back label. I bought this at a cool little game shop in Las Vegas that has a free play arcade. The owner thought this was a genuine FC cart, and was excited to see another person who had a FC, so I bought it from him for the lulz. It looks nice, at least.

>>446128
Whats coming? How is Parasite Eve? I have heard good things about it.

>>446168
Parasite Eve is unique, to say the least. Horror RPG with semi real time combat, set in modern New York. Also: lots and lots of biology stuff. It's really darn good, but perhaps too short. PE2 goes for full survival horror (with tank controls), the plot is a bit worse but it's still a great game, really hard too.
For all accounts, PE3/The 3rd Birthday never existed.

And the game that's coming is Misadventures of Tron Bonne, for which i paid an amount i'm not proud of.

>>445195
Redneck/10

>>446213
Why is Tron Bonne so expensive anyways? It's a Megaman spinoff right?

>>446227
Mega Man Legends 3 announcement made the price skyrocket (it was like $20 sealed not four years ago). Priced at $100, everyone just shrugged off and waited for the drop. MML3 was cancelled, so it was only a matter of time before the bubble popped.
A year later, instead of dropping the average hiked to $200+, so i just figured i'd try to get it as "low" as possible on an auction before things get even more out of hand. Of course, i fully expect it to drop at SOME point, but i'm not even mad.

>>446227
>>446243
Also, it IS actually sort of rare (70k copies sold in north america is the closest guess i can find), just not $200 rare. It's also safely the most expensive NTSC game on the PS1 right now.

>>446243
You win some, you lose some. I accidentally bought a game for a price lower than what I would pay. A guy had Dragon Quest 2 (to complete my set) CiB in good condition listed for like $70. I sent him an offer of $20 just to try, and he accepted immediately. So yeah. I accidentally won that.

>>446276
Heh, now that's something that doesn't happen every day.
I found an auction today for a lot that seemed shitty at first glance (lots of greatest hits), but also had black MGS and CTR. I totally forgot about it and it ended at $17. Damnit.

>>445639

What the fuck is the point of having games if you aren't going to play them? They are an interactive art and having them just sit on your fucking shelf isn't interacting, dumbfuck.

>>451141
I bet he gets all the pussy.

If anyone is wondering, the game in the Mega Drive is Midway's Arcade Greatest Hits. Nothing beats playing Robotron 2084 on the MD with 2 arcade sticks.

I'm afraid I don't own any real old consoles or whatnot. I emulate my retro games or play Wii Virtual Console and whatnot.

Except for PS1 games, which I play on a PS2.

I do have this though.

>>451186
Legit resident evil 4 GameCube, or just an overlay sticker?

>>451235

2011 reissue of Game and Watch Ball from Club Nintendo. It's very well-made.

Christ, I hate myself. Please ignore that.

>>451230
It's a real one, but it could be in better shape, it has a few scratches on it. I think I spent 15 on it, which is too much for a normal GCN, but I thought the RE one would be worth something.

>>445303
>doorstopper on wrong side

>>451246
Don't beat yourself up.
Never seen the back of one of the new Game-And-Watch's. Pretty neat, didn't know that was written there.
Thanks anon

>>451264
Love the GameCube, but I never really saw the point in the Collectors edition models. All they really changed was the overlay in the small black circle, so none of them never really seemed worth it to me when they came out. Really wished they would have went that extra mile like they did with the Pikachu-Themed 64.

>>451241
That's cool

>>450971
God damn. I want that many just because they make you look cooler when they are stacked like that in your house. That, and the NES is a quality console.

>>451138

That mario paint on the wall - custom, or one of those wall sticker jobs?

All that's left of my collection

Used to have a 64, Genesis, PS1, and NES, but they're gone now

I can't remember where

>>452076
the Mario 1-1's are custom. but there's a arcade Donkey Kong set up by the light switch and that's a wall sticker set

Astal. It was a misprint that, as far as I know, is on every single copy of the game.

Fantastic 2D sidescroller. Can't recommend it enough.

except those kinds of games were pretty decent in the early 90's especially aladdin

I am just going to build a micro ATX PC for movies & emulators and put it in my tv stand and get all of the classic controllers with USB connectors and stow them away in a drawer. I'll be playing everything in glorious 1080 as well with mods if needed. Plebs.

just added this to my collection today.

I'm loving the posters..

Did you frame them yourself?

>>453886
yes i buy the frames from a local walmart (just some cheap ones) and the posters are either promotional posters through club nintendo or are original posters bundled with old games.

>>453902
here is a old picture of some of the unused posters (captain skyhawk did eventually get framed though)

if i recall i didn't use the afterburner poster due to it being a hard size to find a frame for.

Not sure if right thread, but today I got 2 n64's with starfox and 1 controller for 45$.
Good deal? yay o nay?
Also got ninja gaiden and some not so good nes games for free with the n64 purchase.

>>452863

>>452098

can you post the rest of your battlestation anon?

About 90% of my consoles (1 of 2)

(2 of 2)

I don't remember where my Atari 5200 is. My Atari XE is still disassembled. I forgot to haul out my Sega Picos, and my Colecovision is nicely boxed up. All of my handhelds are in strategic locations throughout the house.

>>453267
I can't lie...cords of any sort tucked away in this manner bring out my inner autist. It screams to me, "Tacky! Incoming short!"

>mfw people bring me their laptops for maintenance/repair with their powercords strangling the brick in this manner

>>455030
I-I-Is dat sum Atari 7800 & near-mint 3DO I see?

>>455043
Oh god, fucking retards. I've repaired SO GODDAMN MANY broken laptop power connectors, and the fuckers WON'T STOP.

I wrap my cords in a loop around my hand, saving enough at the end to go a few times around the larger loop, then tuck the end of the cord through the hole at the end most distant from the controller end, then I cinch up the binding loops to keep it from unraveling.

>>455359
The 7800 is scratched to shit. Bought it from a game shop like that. Ah well. The Goldstar 3DO is in great shape, but like all Goldstar 3DOs, it's FUCKING DEAD. The FZ-10 is a little scuffed, but works fine.

>>455383

You just might be ME. I'm surprised someone hasn't made a roll-up type device (similar to garden hoses and earbud cords) to address this.

Then again, they Want you to spend upwards of $140+ on an OEM replacement.

>>455395
>The Goldstar 3DO is in great shape, but like all Goldstar 3DOs, it's FUCKING DEAD.

Every Goldstar I have ever owned has worked fine. My current one is a former rental model from some defunct video store in CA, so who knows how many hands it passed through over the years. It survived through numerous moves since I got it too.

>>455395

The 7800 was my first actual console (I was seven) that was solely my own. No nostalgia goggles involved, because the licenses, actual games, and controller were horrendous, but get this:

1. It's the first console where licensed games were actually backwards-compatible.

2. I could plug in any of the Atari VCS and 2600 peripherals/accessories and they worked perfectly.

Aaaannnnddd...that's about it :(

>>455565
I haven't ventured out into Craiglist/Ebay-land, but I would love to have a working 3DO. I drooled over their shillposts in the game mags when I was a kid. The problem is all of the different iterations.


Someone make a non-troll 3DO thread, so I don't keep going off-topic.

How is this game /vr/? I picked it up at a local Goodwill for $4.99, manual and all.

>>455592
I would, but Time Warner Weyland-Yutani just shit the bed, and now I only have phoneternet.

>>455509
They have. I have some odd-ass Playstation extension cord that rolls up onto a spool.

>>455565
Goldstar 3DOs are more likely than Panasonic or Sanyo models to develop fucked laser diodes. Despite my EE degree rotting on the vine, I don't think I'll ever work up the initiative to replace one.

>>455568
I prefer to use Genesis controllers, but alas, they don't jive with the gooftarded analog second button on the 7800, but eh, many games were just one-button games.


>>455592
My local game reseller shop has a boxed 3DO for $80, but I got both of mine for $55-$65 each on eBay. The Goldstar one was DOA, but the seller said he had no way to test it beyond just connecting it to a TV and did not know if it worked, so no foul there. Most of my game collection came from accidental finds in piles of books and CDs at thrift stores and rummage sales.

>>455860
I always go to goodwil hoping to find a 3DS or CDi in with the DVD players, like I hear about all the time. It hasnt happened yet though...

>>455998
I guess that shit only happens in California. I've never found anything worth a shit in a thrift store that was incorrectly placed with junky-ass two-head, mono VCRs and old Dish Network and WebTV boxes.

The problem with our hobby is now every faggot who spent years watching get-rich-quick scam shows like Pawn Stars now has a fucking iPhone with instant access to eBay, so they swarm thrift stores and garage sales for shit to flip at retarded prices, and all the hipster fucks with trust funds burn it all so they can be "retro cool" in some illiterate sense of irony.

When I build up a massive pile of duplicate hardware and games, I give systems and games as gifts to friends. Gave one of my best friends an NES with RCR, Final Fantasy, Megaman 2, Contra, Jackal, Gradius, Dragon Warrior, Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt (with a zapper, natch), Mario 2, and Mario 3.

Gave my grandmother an NES with Mario/Duck Hunt and a zapper, Mario 2 and 3, and Dr. Mario so the younger kids could play NOT SHIT games when they came over for the holidays and the adults monopolized the HDTV for retarded parades and idiotball games.

I just swap out consoles whenever I want to play something else.

>>454951
What kind of shelf are you storing those SNES carts in?

>>457308

It's just a thing made for SNES games. Had it since I was a kid

they pop up on eBay sometimes

>>455860
>>I prefer to use Genesis controllers, but alas, they don't jive with the gooftarded analog second button on the 7800, but eh, many games were just one-button games.

I can't believe I never thought to check and see if my Genesis controller worked. The SMS controller works perfectly, if you have one of those.

>>451290
ur dumb, the front door is obviously right there look at the floor in the corner its tiled.

>>445045
No crt 0/10

>>460112
Inversely, Atari 2600 sticks work with the Genesis. The fire button maps to B. Good for Sonic 2, letting small children play as Tails.
