Alright, well, I'll start this off with my Nintendo Collection so far (Its not that great, get over it.)


A General Overview...


A Closer look...


Ahh, one of my great childhood memories. Damn sisters and Coke, you forever stickify my Game Gear! ( Hmm, its only been like forever since that happened, I really should have fixed it by now, haha.)

If you guys would like so see something, Just ask. I haven't found many of my SNES and NES games, but I do have an ok load of N64 games. PS2 is where my collection lies, lol.

EDIT:

Omg, I'm an Idiot, I put it under VC instead of VG... Red, please move this, lol.

Sweet.  That's a good start.  I'll try to dig up some pictures of at least my "Atari Desk" to share.

Like I said before, I'm about to move so I don't have a dedicated gaming station.  In fact, my former "Atari Desk" (seen above) is no longer set up.  In this picture there's a lot of junk lying on the table anyway.

But what you see above was essentially my dedicated Atari 8-Bit computer game playing station.  I have an Atari 1200XL, a 130XE, and an 800XL (that you can't see) off to the side. The display is an old standby -- the Commodore 1702 monitor.  I use the Atari 1200XL hooked up to a laptop running an Atari 810 drive emulator via an SIO2PC cable.  The laptop has thousands of Atari 800 games on it (in ATR disk image format) that I can load on the real machine as if they were real disks.  It's really quite awesome.  At the time this picture was taken, I was last playing around with an Atari light pen.

That's about the best I can do for now, until I move and set up an awesome gaming area.  Anybody else got any pictures?

I am in the process of prepping a new house to move in to, but once that's done, I'll get some pictures up here of my "15 consoles of doom".  :lol:

Finally I got a "roundtuit"  Tongue and snapped some pictures of my setup. Larger photos are available if anyone has a need to see them.

General view showing my most used consoles set up (aside from the cube; it's in the main TV room) and my work/fun PC.

http://johan.playoldgames.net/media/room/room2.jpg
Behind the PC, along the wall, is my bookshelf and CD towers. Way too many programming books, scattered with manga and other miscelaneous stuff.

http://johan.playoldgames.net/media/room/room3.jpg
In the closet there are 4 computers, buried under a mess of boxes. In ome of the larger boxes are all the videogame boxes I've managed to keep. In the clear plastic drawers are controllers and such.

Group photo time! I pulled out the collection from their hiding place in the drawers on either side of the TV. The Flashback doesn't really count, but I tossed it in there just for fun. The bottom-right drawer is storage for the carts I have.

Two closer views of my collection. The SFC carts are pulled out so you can get a better idea of how full that bottom-right drawer is.

Sorry for the delay in getting these up  :lol:

It's been trudging along slowly. We're finally just now getting to a point where we're not working every waking moment, so maintenance and projects can pick back up again. The first thing to do is organize and thin out our stuff. Then I can set up a workbench in the garage and get to work on repairs and such.

Awesome, thanks for the pic!  That 286 is most definitely of the well-used vintage variety. Smiley  What kind of stuff did you run on it?  Any games?  Did you use it for word processing?  Just interested, because I saw your post about it in another thread.

Also, is there a way you can resize your image so it's small enough not to break the forum layout?  You can then link to a larger version.  Thanks.

I had forgotten about these pictures.  Wow, that's one grunged-up PC!  And I thought mine were bad. Cheesy   I have an old 386 I keep set up in my living room for those occasions when I feel like playing Ultima 6, Retaliator, or Scortched Earth.

By the way, I think that mouse style was introduced by Logitech.  I have a couple that look just like it.

I might put up some new pics of my new "game room" now that it's set up pretty nicely, although it's so cramped that I wouldn't be able to take a good shot to show you the whole place.  Also, my garage is like a warehouse for old computer crap these days, but most of it is in boxes, so pictures wouldn't look too impressive.  But maybe I'll upload some soon.
