This is my game room. It's actually fairly small. I have a decent house but all of the rooms are spoken for save the office. I'm pretty happy with my current setup besides the fact that my games are at least doubled up in the shelves. I'm going to have a custom built-in shelving unit installed next year some time that will have the correct dimensions and enough space for everything to be displayed at once (plus everything else I plan on acquiring). All of my boxes for the systems are in a closet and my PS3 is in the living room since it's really nothing more than a glorified blu-ray player these days.
I'm considering mounting the plasma on the wall and making a temporary situation with the SDTV below it. That would give me space for 2 more shelves like I already have on the left side of the room.
For those of you who used my system shelving idea, this is what it looks like with 4 shelves as opposed to 3. Also, sorry about the quality. Using the ol' iPhone and the lighting is not iPhone friendly.
Comments, suggestions, etc?

Man I still love that shelving. The whole set up with the TV and everything looks really nice too. But, why are you hiding the NES under the black cover?

Ha. She was asleep on my sofa and I went in and turned on the lights. She was like WTF?
More like. "You rat bastard, can't you see I am SLEEPING?!"
Two reasons really. Sunlight is number one. The second is that I always wanted one of those things when I was in grade school because one of my friend's had one. Now I do!
Ah, ya Sunlight plays hell on the NES and SNES for sure. I found a cure for browning plastics online once, it involved tearing the casing down and a bunch of household products. I saw on a forum an old Apple II that was super brown, came out looking pristine white again.

I've seen that too. Luckily my consoles aren't too bad right now. I have 2 different SNESs. One is mine from years and years ago and it's slightly discolored (not worthy of a chemical bath) and the other one is pristine (last model before the redesign). I believe they changed the plastic that they used on the later models right before the newly designed SNES came out that wouldn't yellow. I use the nice looking one so I guess I'll find out sooner or later.

And it's not a bad batch of plastic that caused the yellowing. Back then, bromine was added to the plastic used for the housings of electronic devices as a fire-retardant. Bromine reacts with uv light and causes the plastic to yellow.

My top cover is completely yellow whereas the bottom cover is perfectly grey. There's no fade or anything. Both are completely different. I would be surprised if both were made the same way :/

I don't think they added bromine to the bottom half of the case. I've never in my life seen any snes with a discolored bottom.

Love the collection, very cool stuff.
I want a small room like that whenever I buy my own house, with a couple of cabs and pinballs.

Not a requirement but highly recommended!

Thank you very much for the compliment. That room is pretty perfectly sized for the size arcade I want, although there are times I wish I had room for 1 to 2 more games.
Post by: desocietas on August 13, 2011, 12:01:58 am
It's so funny you say that, I only noticed Gizmo (my cat) in those pictures after I posted them and had read the previous post about the dog.
I didn't notice Gizmo there either! Too cute. <3

Got to respect that Saturn collection. It makes mine look like it doesn't even exist (which isn't too far from the truth). I have a really difficult time finding decent Saturn games in the wild.
Post by: scott on August 13, 2011, 01:49:43 am
Where did you find shelves like mine that are one game deep...and do they come in black?
Actually I got that shelving unit at Best Buy forever ago... prolly overpaid for it too. I think they were also available in black too, not sure if they are still available or not. As much as I love black, I hate dusting it to keep it clean, the wood grain is a little more forgiving.
Got to respect that Saturn collection. It makes mine look like it doesn't even exist (which isn't too far from the truth). I have a really difficult time finding decent Saturn games in the wild.
Thanks, the rare ones I've snagged off ebay or Amazon, but I make sure to watch a bunch of auctions and refuse to bid ridiculous amounts. Also, I tend to buy lots when possible, the white shoe box on the bottom shelf is actually some of my doubles, though the cases are all jacked up on them. I got a whole bunch in Ohio when we went to that CCAG show in Cleveland. Most of them were pretty cheaply priced too... only problem was, some of them were just tossed in boxes and mismatched.
I try to hit the local used game shops every couple months to see if they have anything, usually they don't. This one place has had the same copy of NHL 97 on the shelf for almost a year, ha.

That's where I have my PS3 connected to my HDTV, and a bunch of stuff around that. Also included in picture: 2 dogs (the black and white one is blind actually), because Scott's pics didn't have any animals.
And my retro-gaming set-up: (yes, that IS 4 E.Ts in front of the TV)
Got my Genesis/32X/Sega CD, SNES, NES, Saturn, Atari, TG-16 and N64 plugged into that TV ready to play anytime. It's a pretty cool TV, called the Samsung GX, that has a sub-woofer on top and the speakers open and close in front of the screen like a door.
Also, all the shelving other than that thing under my HDTV is home-made.
I have a few close-up pictures of specific parts here too:

Seriously... why 4 ET games? lol
There can be multiple reasons:
1. Collect enough copies to build a house out of them (or a "House of Fail" if you will).
2. HUGE E.T.-burning bonfire.
3. Collect ALL the copies, have a monopoly and then sell them all for ridiculous prices (hehehe...).
4. For the same reason I try to find cheap copies of Shaq Fu and Superman 64 or other bad games (AKA lulz).
Really though, only one of them is a copy I bought, one of them was free, and 2 others were in a huge bundle (that included a vectrex and atari 7800 and 40 other atari games).
Props for having the Frankensystem hooked up 24/7. That reminds me that I still need to find a 32X!
Frankensystem indeed, that was a hassle to even figure out how to hook it up. I tend to keep the AC adaptors NOT plugged in though, since they take too much space, I plug them in only as needed.

Still haven't moved in fully. The speakers just went up on the walls, the PS3 needs to be reflowed and then set up. The gamecube isn't staying there as it's useless with the wii right there. NES 101 is next on the list :)
Alex's (GF) family has had tons of video games but then put them in the basement and forget about them. That's where I got the 64 and cube. I also found a snes game and a few 64 games. (playing DK64 as I type this).
The collectibles are still in boxes as they will be put elsewhere to keep the safe and away from the sun. Once I'm properly moved in, I'll take better pictures. It's difficult right now to figure stuff out as I am moving from my own condo to a small room. Everything I own has to fit in here.
Cat picture will come with new set of pictures (Which will also be taken with a real camera, not my phone :P )

This is currently a work in progress, since there's a few others things I need to move around, and that big shelf will be repainted.
Nothing impressive here:
That be where I'll play me old gaemz (may need to find a better spot for my TG-16(it's next to the NES), and I'm trying to find an expansion module for my Colecovision so it mostly removes the need for the Atari 7800 that's clumsily placed behind it):
Some of my games:
Pretty much the rest of my games, I think. (there's more behind all the N64 games, and some stacks of SNES/Genesis games have some stacks behind them):

love the shelving too. I'm a big fan of people displaying their stuff but I'm always too afraid to leave collectibles out (potential damage, sun.etc)
maybe later I can get a game room with no windows and a big steel door xD

Personally, I would have it no other way than to have things out on display. I mean, what's the point of spending all this money just to lock things up in a box? I've never had, or noticed, light damage from ordinary household lights. But sunlight is another issue entirely, which is one of the reasons why I always leave the roll blinds pulled in my gaming area.
@madmax, you could find a place w/ a basement... but then you have to worry about possible flooding (burst pipes, excess rain water, clogged sewer (eeeew.)).

Yeah, the room I'm in now has no windows, I'm happy about that. Unless there's some natural disaster, I think you'll be fine as far as damage goes, you just need to protect your stuff from the sun. I'm learning that the hard way as my SNES has started yellowing (it was perfect last year).
As for the shelving, it's actually homemade. Previously it was used for books, which explains why it's not too wide (the part with the SNES and Atari games is twice as wide for.... some reason...). There's tons of space though (under what you see in the picture), so I won't have to worry about where to put new games for a while :P

wow it would be an honour if you used it! im glad you think its up to the standards of the other banners i see (i especially love the mega man one)

My most-played consoles are hooked up in the living room. This includes the NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Genesis/CD/32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, 3DO, Xbox 360, backwards compatible PS3 and Jaguar. Once I'm able to get a new surround receiver I'll add another switch and get the Master System, Turbografx and CDi hooked up and get the NES over to composite (it's on RF right now).

The pictures hanging above the TV and couch are actually animation cels and character design sheets from the Pac-Man cartoon, Donkey Kong Jr. and Frogger from the Saturday Morning Supercade, Space Ace and Dragon's Lair from their cartoons (not the games), and a small collection from one of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons.

And finally a good majority of my games. I've managed to run out of shelving again, going to have to do something about that after I move. My sister hauled all the Wii and DS games off to her room to hang on to until we get the shelving sorted out.
(http://www.vectorcade.net/drew/consoles/games.jpg)
(Yes, I have a few animation cels from the Dilbert cartoon, too.)
The older consoles (2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision, Intellivision, Odyssey2) are currently packed away until I can get a larger tube TV set up for them.

These seem to be the only pics I have with the lights on. I was shuffling some things around and installing the audio/video system when these were taken. The Desert Patrol and Avengers machines were sold shortly after these photos were taken and replaced by the Cyberball 2072 (which has since been sold). The Tekken 2 machine is used as a generic JAMMA cab. I swap a number of boards in and out on it. It was set up with a single slot NeoGeo board and a multi cart until I acquired my 4-slot cabinet. We were fortunate enough to have a climate-controlled garage (very nice in the winter).

The video system consisted of four LCD monitors hooked in to a computer system that cycled through various music videos, visualizations, and the wonderful <a href="http://www.thelogbook.com/media/products/">Phosphor-Dot Fossils DVDs</a> which contain trivia and commercials from classic consoles and arcade machines.

About half of the machines have been moved to my parent's new house while the current one is up for sale. A handful of them quit working on me; they can be very temperamental at times. Looking forward to getting settled in at the new place and getting the arcade put back together. This time I'll actually be able to make the modifications to the lighting system that I've been wanting to do.

It's small but I'm proud of it. Kinda sad though, I caught Pneumonia a few weeks back and had to sell off Suikoden II, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Shining Force III to cover the bill. :'(

Thank you for the kind words. It just feels smaller to me since 3 of my most prized games went for 2 I.V. bags of saline and a bag of antibiotics.
When I get my own place, I have blueprints made up for an entertainment center and shelving. Now... to be able to have my own place again, sigh.
I know that feeling. I want to get my own as well, but the market in this town is nuts. 1 acre of land with a shack that a strong fart would topple is going for 60K+

I have plans for a man cave as well where video games will be kept. I just need a house now, certainly not in Vancouver. A house with a basement, 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms .etc goes for over $1mill <.<Yeah, that's part of what brought me to Edmonton

Move to Oklahoma ... its a fuckhole of a state but stuff is cheap.
I rather like living here... Wish the education system would be a bit better, though.
Cost of living here is about the same as in Houston since the housing market tanked.
(and if anyone's looking to move to OKC my parent's house is for sale 8) )

Move to Oklahoma ... its a fuckhole of a state but stuff is cheap. My house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, 2 car garage is about 80k.
It depends on where you live. That same house in my neighborhood will cost you ~ $150k. Still cheap, but it's all about location like anywhere else. I haven't seen a house under 2,000 sqft go for a million, but you can get condos in downtown OKC that will cost you $600-800K that are in the 2k sqft range. You also have to remember that you have to pay property taxes and income taxes in OK which have kept the prices down a bit. Plus, we live in Tornado Alley which means your insurance rates are much higher here than in other states.
As far as OK being a "fuckhole", meh, not really. Would you rather live in Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North/South Dakota, Mississippi, West Virginia, Kansas, Louisiana, etc? Not dogging those other states too hard, but the positives to OK outweigh the negatives to most other states that aren't on a coast or in the northeast.
You have to remember that apart from cool cities in other states, rural areas are all practically identical across the US. A small town in Cali, New Jersey, Ohio, Washington, etc. will be just as podunk as one in OK.
Post by: ffxik on May 13, 2012, 05:17:32 pm
As far as it goes, yeah every rual area is pretty much the same. I live in a town with 1,500 people. the surrounding towns have 4-500, If you want to go to the mall or try to buy something that you can't find in these towns then you had better be prepared to drive 150 miles to Springfield.

I would like a Ninja Gaiden stand up (I could have gotten one years back for $50 complete and I still kick myself for not getting it at the time) and a UMK3 machine.
I've got a few machines in my garage in various state of disrepair; one of them is a Ninja Gaiden arcade machine. Not sure what's wrong with it since it won't turn on at all, so I'm assuming it's at least a bad power supply.
Here's the rest of my cabinets, minus my Altered Beast:
(http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j299/Vejadu/Home%20Theater/IMG_1150.jpg)
Though I'm getting rid of Magic Sword and Super Sprint. It's just too many projects and I don't have the space for all of them inside my house. We can't park in the garage because of these guys.

Is the Ninja Gaiden the one with the button on the top of the joystick? If so, thats the one I regret not buying. Im not sure if there is more than one version to be honest.
Yes, that's the button you use to grab overhead objects in Ninja Gaiden. I'm not sure if my cabinet is official or a conversion; there's a pic on KLOV that looks more like a standard cabinet, so I believe mine's probably a conversion.

Welcome to the site!
Nice setup. I like seeing all of those consoles stacked and ready to play, regardless if you have to use a bunch of power strips so they're all plugged in simultaneously ;) I hate those big brick power plugs. Thank God modern consoles put the brick in the middle of the cord rather than at the plug.

Yeah, those big bricks suck, they generally took up two spots, so I have probably one adapter more than I actually need, just to fit them in. I'll probably upgrade to one single, long power strip here eventually, but for now, it was a cheap solution!

Welcome to the site Hexydes! I really dig you set up too, I wish I had room to do something like that for all of my consoles too. Its pretty sweet (though I'm picky enough I'd attempt to hide the power strips).
Thanks!
Yeah, the power strips are ugly. I had a tall, old wooden entertainment center there (loved the 80s look), but eventually I had to get rid of it so I could get that hybrid HDTV/CRT that you see there. I just had too many consoles to use the old CRT I had (and the XBox 360 needed the HDMI). Oh well...we'll see what I can do down the line. :)

They are a little pricey but it works great! No more cables on the floor and one single cable (plus the TV) going to the power outlet.

This is pretty tame, mainly because all my games are on shelves in my walk-in closet. This is my Sony 27" CRT, with NES, Super NES, and PSone all connected. I sit on a Sumo Gamer bean bag while playing.

I see we have the same model TV, although yours appears to be 36"! I actually had a 32", but when I replaced it, I went with the 27" so I could actually carry it up the stairs and move it around: 110lbs compared to 180lbs. The 36" weighs 225lbs if I recall correctly.
Here's an update of mine:

I guess I am not the only one with a TV wearing the Mario hat. Anyone else do this with their hat?
Post by: pceslayer on October 22, 2012, 05:24:38 pm
I'm looking for the matching stand like you have, but its proving harder than I thought.
And Sony Trinitron's are the best gaming tv's ever! Even the older non flat screen ones are excellent.

That's a great looking collection exo but I can only give you a 6.5 out of 10. There are two major problems: you have a Pepsi sign not a coke one, and on this site we make sure that there is at least one animal in our collection photos.I drink neither Coke nor Pepsi due to my carbonation intolerance, but I find that the vintage Pepsi logo is awesome. I do however, have this Coke gem in my room:

So, my first step to building the gamer room was complete today, or so I thought. Managed to wall mount the new TV that was delivered. Set up a PS2 to test out the picture. Turned on the TV for the first time and found this :Are you sure you're just not seeing the Matrix in it's true form?

Yeah, a lot of it is stuff I'll never play again, that I got mostly just to have it, that I may not have bought if my original goal wasn't "Get ALL the games!". I do have lots of great games in there though so I'm still happy about my NES collection.
I'll say I'm a bit prouder of my SNES/Super Famicom collection :P

I'm loving the Playstation collection of yours (PS1, 2, and 3) :)
Do you know you have some PS2 games on your PSP pics?
Two questions about 2 games:
1). What's that PS1 game "Alive" like, and
2). Same question for your PS3 game "Siren: Blood Curse"?

2). Same question for your PS3 game "Siren: Blood Curse"?
Well Alive is like a live action game.
You press O X or whatever at the right time to trigger different things, story also changes, depends on your choices.
And 2, Siren : Blood Curse is the 3rd game of Siren, Siren 1 and 2 are available on PS2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noFhEvQCxks
skip to 6:50 if you want a quick look for Alive.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSfcpTpzd7I
For Siren.
This serie is creepy.
Thanks : )
A lot of good stuff in that collection you got there!

How did you come to have 6 xbox360 boxes? Did you buy six of them, or just aquire them from other folks?
360 Core - bought so I could drive hack - Banned from xbox live - JTAG modded and re-cased (still working thanks to reflow)
360 premium/pro day 1 launch unit - Red Ring about a year ago :( (havent attempted to reflow)
360 Elite - Was my Ex's 360 - Red Ring about 1.5 yrs ago (havent attempted to reflow)
360 arcade- Red Ring 4 months ago was purchased as a backup to my launch unit :( (all reflowed out)
360 pro 60gb - Got it for a friend and it Red Ring a few years later... I reflowed it and now it kinda sorta works sometime JTAG hacked
360 slim kinect bundle - empty box lol
I also have a 4gb 360 slim that I am using currently. box is on the floor somewhere in one of the pics I think..

This is a REALLY old pic, but the best one I could find. It shows a Windows 98 PC, my TV, switch box, Sat box, PS2, VCR, netbook, and very little PS2 games. When I clean it up, I'll take a newer pic.What games do you have on that bad boy?

Glad to see someone else appreciates God of War! I also have that Zelda timeline poster. :)
Absolutely! Actually I got really lucky with that poster, as it was the last one given out during the mid-night release for GoW III. Oh and I'm assuming your as inpatient for GoW: Ascension as I am. =D Also I didn't even blink twice when I used up my "Gold Coins" from Club Nintendo for that Link poster, lol too tempting to let it go by. What's your favorite game from the series?

Nice looking collection zierlaz! I really like the look of the X3 box :)
Thank you! When I bought it on Amazon, the description read something along the lines of "Tested and working cartridge", was really surprised when I received it with the box and manual.

Well the Netbook only has Pengu on it. ;)
The Win98 I think has:
Quake 3
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
IGI
GTA III (maybe)
Diablo II
MAME
I'm not sure what else. I don't have it hooked up anymore due to space. I hope to change that sometime soon with some re-arranging. In fact, that wall has changed quite a bit. TV is gone, and that whole shelf and PC isn't there anymore. This is what it looks like now:

Still working on cable management and programming the lighting system. And my rear speaker stands are still on backorder for some reason.
I now have single button access to the NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Genesis, 32X, SegaCD, Saturn, Dreamcast, 3DO, Jaguar, Xbox 360 and PS3. Still working on the classic game station based around a CRT that will house the Atari consoles, Colecovision, Intellivision and SMS. I'll probably end up moving the NES over to that setup to make room for the Turbografx (plus I'll be able to use the light gun again).
The arcade is now somewhat organized. Need to finish cleaning and remove a few dead machines so I can start cabling everything up.

@zierlaz I love that shelving!
I'll post some pictures once I clean up a bit
It's nothing near as big as some of these, but I'm digging it so far.

Don't worry about how many items you have torvez, we all started somewhere and it's great to look back at old pictures to see how a collection has evolved over time so make sure you take some!
Post by: dstone on April 07, 2013, 01:31:22 pm
Sweet setup. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the TV you were going to give me? ;D
Well, I was, but the darn thing looked too nice on the wall. ;D
Post by: torvez on April 09, 2013, 04:33:22 am
Finally took a few pictures of my game room/ studio/ bedroom lol.
I share a room with my little brother, so I only have a small amount of space to work with.
I just rearranged the entire room, it took two full days, but it was worth it.
Picked up that Sega Saturn today!
Any suggestions?
If you're at all interested, I have some music up at soundcloud.com/torvez (http://soundcloud.com/torvez)
I recently started working on some chiptunes. Thought someone may enjoy it.
Anyways, here's the pictures! (Sorry if I went overboard)

Okay, here are some of mine....
Cramped, indeed! lol
Nice collection though!
I do the same thing for my N64 games.
Diggin' the Misfits and Metallica posters too!
(I'll be seeing Metallica this summer at Orion! Stoked! Festival is gonna be insane!)
A+ on that VHS collection too, Batman Beyond, Akira and Legend (looks a little like my collection!)
Always wanted a C64 for the music tracking programs, but I can never find them!
I will also say, that super ball looks like alot of fun!

Heh that would be a long drive for you anyhow. :) I may have to pick up a cheap cell phone just for pics. Some of them have really decent cameras.
If you're looking to save a few bucks, I have seen some nice digital cameras at pawn shops for around $20.

It was great back when all I had was a 32" CRT to put on it. I also have the matching AV rack that's sitting on another wall (took a while to run all the wiring through the walls to it). That stand worked surprisingly well with a 52" LCD set on it. At that time I had a Bose Acoustimass system that was wall-mounted. When I stepped up to the studio reference monitors I had to drastically re-think the layout. I just wish the AV rack had more room; proper cooling can be a challenge sometimes.

Thought you guys might like this idea.
I built this long shelf for all of $15, to store all of my media but ended up letting my little brother use it.
It spans nearly the entire length of the wall!

This is the new retro game room at the new house! I set up the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Genesis, Saturn and PS2 to the CRT, but didn't have room for the Xbox. The 360, PS3 and Wii are in the living room hooked up to the HD TV. I still need to come up with a bookcase for my strategy guides tho and I need to get my Castlevania poster framed yet too.

You have to remember that apart from cool cities in other states, rural areas are all practically identical across the US. A small town in Cali, New Jersey, Ohio, Washington, etc. will be just as podunk as one in OK.
I can confirm this (having lived in several states representing just about all of the different 'major' areas of the country -*except* for the Pacific NW) ;)
Only/biggest difference is that in "Podunk, N.J." the resident will likely be paying some of the highest insurance (car & other) costs in the country >:(

Big Lots is a good place for random furniture. We picked up a Microsoft "officially licensed" Xbox 360 console entertainment center there a while back. Kinda cool.
Paid $29.99 for put it together yourself shelves that house a lot of my collection from Big Lots.

And, I was at the folk's house today and found my old Toys R Us advertising posters. I thought these got tossed out years ago. I have ones for Metroid Prime 2, Metroid Zero Mission, LoZ Four Swords Adventure and Jak II. But I didn't snap I pic of them... Basically they are 3x4 ish posters of the box art, made of a plastic sheet. Pretty sweet.
I hung up the Zelda and Metroid Zero Mission posters in the game room too.

Speaking of cheap shelving that works wonders. I upgraded my Castlevania shelves to a stack of 4, instead of the original 3! Things look a lot nicer now that they are spread out a bit more.

I made a slight adjustment to my game room this weekend. I'm not finished with everything, but here's a preview.

They're wall shelves (track system stuff). I had two more cubes on top of the 3x3s on the bottom but decided I wanted to actually SEE the games I play the most. I'm not finished with the project, nor am I completely happy at this point, but it's a step in the right direction for now.It's looking great! I've been wanting to get some new shelves for my room, mine are too deep for my taste. I found a place that sells open box stuff and I seen these there for $20 http://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-35435725-Media-Tower-BluRay/dp/B0058O8ES8 (http://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-35435725-Media-Tower-BluRay/dp/B0058O8ES8)
Thinking of picking up 2, Would actually give me more walking room and more shelf real estate. Only thing is, I don't think they'll hold Saturn cases or the like... :-\ Anyway, your room is coming together ridiculously nice!

1) Buy speakers for the tube tv.
2) Hang more shelves.
3) Possibly buy a bigger tube set.
4) Buy more cables (s-video for the N64, component for the GC..which is ungodly expensive, A/V for the CDX and the Model 1 Genesis, and low profile A/V cables for the NES...or buy an a/v modded top loader)
5) Replace the deep shelves above the plasma with shallow shelves that match the others on the wall.
I'm hoping to have everything completed by this weekend :)

My "game room" is basically a wall w/ some pictures on it, 1 bookcase, and a bunch of closets, shelves, and drawers -but- I'm "weird" like that, I guess, in that 'displaying' has never seemed very important to me...
Post by: scott on May 09, 2013, 09:45:29 am
Man, you're game room looks way more classy than mine.
Thanks! Shoving that couch through the window was totally worth it. It's much more comfortable than that futon was.
Hahaha!
My "game room" is basically a wall w/ some pictures on it, 1 bookcase, and a bunch of closets, shelves, and drawers -but- I'm "weird" like that, I guess, in that 'displaying' has never seemed very important to me...
It's not so much about displaying and showing off. Though I do have a knack for composition and layout and tend to want my stuff to look as good as possible. Ha, I spent 3-4 hours hanging 6 frames on the living room wall, because I needed them to be level, evenly spaced and uniform. It's just my nature.
But, for the game room it's really more ease of use. Everything game, console and book is out for easy access. If I want to play a particular game, I don't have to pull out a box with the consoles in it and swap them to the TV, I can just pop in a disc or cart and go. But I do have a lot of nick-naks and collectables and it just seems to make sense to me that they be out on display. Plus, since it's in a side room and not my main living room it can be a full nerd explosion. ha
I knew when I had a house of my own, I wanted a dedicated game room for all my retro stuff. Both to keep everything put away and to keep the living room from being a mess of cables, consoles and game stuff (plus that living room has so many windows, I worry about sun damage).
Post by: disgaeniac on May 09, 2013, 09:57:48 am
I mean, I don't have *anything* in boxes...I have a "PS2" drawer, a "PS3" drawer, a bookshelf filled w/ guides, a "DS" drawer", a "PSP" drawer, a "console & accessory" shelf, a "NGC" shelf, a 3DS shelf, and a smaller "misc" (Genesis, GB, GBC, NES = usually 10 items or less each) shelf, and, a wall in one of my bedrooms (which I also spent a few hours on...evenly spacing, leveling, and *staggering*:) 5 Giclees.
Of course, each drawer & shelf is (anally) arranged in alphabetical and/or chronological order, so, I'd never have to hunt or look for anything that I might be wanting :)
Oh yeah - I also have another "misc" category for stuff like my "Skyrim Dragon" (on a dresser), plushies, pins, other collectibles arranged here & there, and another "OST's" drawer.
tl;dr = it's all extremely well-ordered & arranged...just...not being "displayed" 8)

When you mounted the giclees, were the frames double hanger or single hanger? Cause my LP frames were double hanger and man, what a pain in the ass that was trying to get them level.
I actually enjoy the displaying part. It makes everything feel like a cohesive unit when its all in its right spot. :)
I agree. Plus I like when people come over and look at it all.

Meh, hanging the Giclees wasn't that bad...they just come w/ your 'standard' "wire/string" on the back for mounting/hanging them - it was actually the measuring & math that took the longest (because 3 of them are the exact same size, 1 is bigger (skinnier & longer), and the 5th is shorter (not as long & wider); hence why I ended up going w/ staggering them.
As an afterthought - I used tiny, little, square pieces of velcro on the back of the 4 corners of each one...this way if I, my dog, the g/f, visiting family, the baby, etc. knocks them out-of-level...it's super easy to "semi -permanently" fix & re-align them :)
EDIT
Maybe next time my sister's here - I'll try to get a pic of the wall w/ all 5 of them hanging on it to get the rest of your thoughts/suggestions on how it looks staggered/how it might look better...

The games that got cut off that are next to Sonic 3 are Sonic & Knuckles, and Knuckles Chaotix
I had a couple more, but my brother lent a bunch of them out to his friend a couple of years back and I never seen them again (Sonic 2, World of Illusion, Streets of Rage 3, Dinosaurs for Hire, Golden Axe, NBA Jam, Contra: Hard Corps, Revenge of Shinobi off the top of my head).
Post by: grahf16 on July 15, 2013, 01:55:49 am
You have some pieces that a lot of bigger collections dont have (mine included). Vay and Rayearth have been missing from my collection for years. :(
I actually got both under pretty cool circumstances.
I bought Magic Knight Rayearth in an ebay auction for pretty cheap. The seller listed MKR along with Shining Force III and had the auction end at like 3:00 AM on a Tuesday or something, so I managed to snag both for $102 shipped.
I got Vay from a childhood friend who is also a game collector for $30 because I went on a crazy mission to collect all of the Working Designs Game library. He sold me Vay for $30, Albert Odyssey for $40, and gave me a loose Lunar SSSC for free. I haven't really been making any progress with the WD games mainly because the remaining games are more than I'd like to pay (Why the hell is Sega Ages over $50?).
Hopefully I can make some friends on the forums and help somebody out while also getting some help.

A lot of nice setups here. Been working on getting my collection into the site here the past couple days which is taking forever but almost done. Mine isn't so much a game room as it's my bedroom :P. I don't have much of the older games as this is just stuff I've amassed while growing up over the past 20 or so years while playing games. My original SNES and Rock 'N' Roll Racing was stolen when I was like 6 :'(

Hah good eye. I've had a couple cars over the years. Currently a '05 Impreza STI and a '03 Mustang Mach 1 for my daily. That shelf holds various pieces from my cars over the years like that crusty turbo is from my first car: an '88 Mitsubishi Starion.
To be semi on-topic, I'm into cars and such so I have a lot of automotive related games. That boxed slim PS2 on the shelf is a japanese model I imported just so I could play the JP Gran Turismo 4 because it released a month earlier than it did in the US I think. System is like-new all packed up again lol..... :-[

I do some writing on a video game site. And we were wanting to put up some video content. I am probably the least qualified person. But it has been an idea that has been tossed around for a while with no action. It's hard finding time and such. So, I decided to try tackling it. Anyways, I made a quick (very rough) video just to test out the idea. the voice over needs a lot of attention. The footage isn't great. But I didn't want to spend more than 30-45 minutes on the first rough cut before getting suggestions. This is my first time using editing software of any kind. So, I didn't want to spend to much time spinning wheels or going down a wrong path before getting feedback. I'm going to be spending more time on it this week based on suggestions.

3: you did not stab this game as so many people do by trying to compare it with some later beat'em up like Final Fight.
I look forward to seeing more reviews from you. Keep up the good work.
PS: i suscribed to your channel ;)

Obviously I'm kidding. You're NES collection is something of legend and I'm sure your SMS collection will end up just as amazing.

Soera, my friend, take this the nicest way possible. I hate you and your collection. All those NES and SMS games are too awesome. It it so awesome, it offends me. Seriously, eff you.

These are all pretty awesome! After seeing them it is quite hard to consider what I have a collection or even a game room, haha. I have about 30 - 35 games total, but I do love em all. I may try to post some pics of my room, (or man cave as my wife calls it), at some point, but it is quite lacking compared to these. Can't wait to see more...these all rock!

Definitely. I still do not know why I have a shelf full of Genesis sports games...

Here is one angle of my man cave, (I suppose it isn't quite a game room):

And another angle:
(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/2536/u1se.jpg)
Here are my consoles, though I have an NES, (barely works), and an N64, (no games):
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2290/3nk6.jpg)
My small Disney Infinity collection:
(http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/9731/0z66.jpg)
My wife and I have a Star Wars figure collection to the right of the Infinity stuff, couldn't get a full picture though:
(http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2620/uph7.jpg)
Skyward Sword poster with a Gamestop The Last Story advertisement on top:
(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/1028/nc15.jpg)
To the left of my tv console I have my World of Warcraft CEs, (I don't play anymore):
(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5230/zfx8.jpg)
And then to the left of that on another wall is my book shelf:
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2747/q68d.jpg)
Behind the couch is my case with my games:
(http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/5871/kjmh.jpg)
Wii games:
(http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5020/ff68.jpg)
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8737/5x9k.jpg)
My little Link with a few LE boxes:
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2840/e1uu.jpg)
Wii U games, (I order Tekken Tag Tournament 2 today), and my few 3DS games:
(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/1017/oyet.jpg)
Gamecube games and 360 games:
(http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/6164/4v4w.jpg)
My small Final Fantasy VIII shelf, (favorite JRPG of all time). I also have some little crystal red Coke figures, but haven't found em since the move:
(http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/8122/e2nq.jpg)
Burger King Lord of the Rings goblets with the books, (my dads books actually, bought in the 60s or 70s, can't recall) on top of the case:
(http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/6157/ehd3.jpg)
And last, my PC, (I do a little gaming on it, though not as much as I once did), and my 3DS xl:
(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/6554/8tjk.jpg)
And that is about it. I ordered two little Zelda figures that look to size with the Wind Waker HD Ganondorf, (I ordered Tetra and Link, though I think they are from Phantom Hourglass technically), and I plan to set them up between my Wii U games and my Gamecube games. Not quite as awesome as these game rooms I have seen here, but it is quite cozy. Sorry the pics are kinda big, couldn't figure out how to adjust the size.

If I remember right, I got this by sending away for it in promo deal. Got it from Sunsoft and I don't think I ever wore it. It's probably extremely rare, but not really a sought after collectible.

That Blaster master shirt is awesome! Id wear that bastard all the time. Im going to have to find me one now. Also Im digging that little game rack in the middle of the room. Its so odd that its really cool on its placement.
I think I never wore it because it was too small when I was a kid, let alone now :)
The rack in the center works pretty well, but was pretty much put there out of necessity. Just running out of room with the space I have. I used to have a Zelda collection between the Pac Man and Mario, but needed the shelf space and had to ditch it.

I think it's a youth medium, but I was always big so I have freebies that never fit. I also found vintage Super Mario and TurboGrafx 16 shirts that were too small for me when I was a kid.
Oh, and when I first put that shelf in the middle of the room, after about a week or two I backed into it, sending it toppling over and dumping all of the games out. It also blew out the cardboard back these type of shelves have, so I had to nail it back together. I previously had my last/current gen games in the shelf, but I swapped them and the boxes NES games after that incident.

First off I'm greatly impressed with the pics in here. And so perhaps you all could help me with some planning.
I own a home. It's a 3 bedroom 2 story house. No basement. Right now, my game collection is split into three areas: A Uhaul storage unit, my living room, and my son's room. Why storage? This was initially intended to be my starter house, with the intention of turning it for a profit and upgrading to a house with a den that I could turn into a primo gaming room. Then the 2008 housing crisis hit and I was out of work for a good while (I worked for Etrade at the time, and they took a big hit in their banking division, almost took them out of business), and took me a while to get caught up after that. So for the time being, this house is what I have to work with.
The living room is my primary gaming space. However, with a couch, loveseat and chair, along with my current gaming rig, I don't have much room for displaying my collection. My TV takes up almost the entire far wall (Mitsubishi DLP 3D 1080p 73 Incher.) The right wall is taken up by the couch. the love seat sits opposite the TV, the left side is dominated by the single seat and a side window. The backwall has two windows facing the front yard, but I do not use those windows. I currently have two large bookshelves that once held my Stephen King hardback collection and other books sitting in front of these two windows, and this is where the games that aren't in storage currently reside. Again, these shelves are the kind you'd see in a livingroom and were not built to store games. So currently everything is just stacked on top of each other, and it just doesn't look very cool.
What I'm planning to do this year is convert my livingroom into a gaming room/mancave deal. I intend to ditch the furniture I currently have and get four recliners: a two seater in the middle where the loveseat currently is, a recliner where the couch currently is, and another recliner where the sofa chair currently sits. This would free up most of the right and left walls for additional shelving.
My entertainment center only has shelving for three components, which is currently my Xbox One, my PS4, and my PS3. I have my wiiu sitting caddy corner on the shelf the TV sits on, with my cable DVR on the other side. I have nowhere else for my other consoles, so the ones my son isn't using in his room (his own PS3, a ps2, a wii, and the xbox 360) are currently stored in plastic bins when not in use.
So, I'd like some advice on what type of shelving to buy which will allow me to maximize my free space while allowing me to customize the shelf size to hold different game formats, plus shelving for game collectibles and boxes and such, and most importantly, some kind of shelf unit I could set to the left of the TV to hold as many of my consoles as possibly but in a confined space, so it would need to be more vertical than horizontal.
I know that's a lot of text. I'll post pictures later so you can get a better idea of what we're talking about here. Thanks for the help in advance.

PacPix nice set up!! 8) Love it! If I may ask, would you support a NHL team if they expanded to Seattle or do you just like Baseball and football?Thanks!
Baseball is my favorite, but I would love to have the NHL return to Seattle! I have never watched hockey a whole lot, but I love hockey video games and it looks like a fun, fast paced sport to watch. Supposedly the NHL is saying if there is an expansion/relocation that Seattle will be the first place the team will go. I have not wanted to get invested into a team since I want to wait for Seattle to get a team. I thought we were close when it looked like the SuperSonics were coming back, but hopefully it is not too much longer. Seattle had the first USA Stanley Cup so we deserve to have a team!

Pretty sure you're getting it! They said by 2015 they will have expanded to two more teams and Seattle is first on the ballot so hopefully it works. It should create a good rivalry between Seattle and Vancouver as well.
Additionally, I love the Griffey stuff! Not a baseball fan, but as a kid, Griffey was one of my hereos and I watched any Mariners game I got on tv just to watch him. He is the true home run king! 8) Awesome stuff you got there.

Oh and you're pics of your game collection makes me curious. Do you have any pics of you're tv and gaming systems set up?:o ha I thought I took a picture of that already.
Here it is, I use the cabinet to store controllers and extras cords. Also I just ordered an Atari 7800 that will probably take the 2600's spot:

Nice! :) Which system do you play the most?Lately its been 3DS, NES, SNES, and some Odyssey 2. It usually varies on whether I have recently bought games for the system or not. The ones I have played the most of are SNES and N64 and the least is Genesis (Have not even turned it on since early this year).

I'll 2nd this.

I have to ask ... what exactly are those little stands most of the systems are on? I like the thought of them cause my guess is thats where you "store" the cords for the controllers while they are plugged in which is one of my biggest consistency issues is the cord flops wherever.

The only pictures I have from last year (at my parents' house) are the decoration, but hey... here goes:
The white wall to the right is the projector "screen". We switched the left poster from time to time, but we tried keeping it simple with as less stuff as possible on the walls.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-e9megEV1a3w/UD1k9BYbPiI/AAAAAAAADfg/gKiRPZfGG7w/w1163-h872-no/2012+-+4)
We sticked some New Super Mario wall stickers here and there, I won't show them all but here are some! You can also see some display items and the old projector
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6lyqa229wJM/UD1k9D2sDJI/AAAAAAAADfA/q7v6jpv2QCc/w1163-h872-no/2012+-+1)
More stickers, part of my game collection then, and a gaming chair with built-in speakers in the headrest

So that was my old setup before I moved in with my boyfriend. Now it's not really worth showing, since I only have part of my collection here, and the decoration truly sucks haha. The only thing awesome in my gaming environment right now is the 53 inches Costco bear. :)

Just started using this site. Enjoying the thread. Here's my setup, which has 44 systems that are hooked up and ready to play. Parts of the game collection are shown in the video.
A thing of beauty!
I went out and bought a few racks after seeing a few of your past videos.
I ran out of velcro straps after a while actually trying to hide the wiring.... mine looks like doo doo :/

That's amazing! I see it's not too expensive either on ebay. I'm going to have to grab one if i ever see it thrift shopping. Okay. If I can ask one more question then I'll stop with all the harassment ;) On you're big screen tv pic with your modern consoles, where did you get the black stand to the right of the tv that you have some stuff on? That would be great for me and I want to go get one.
P.s. Kudos on the Mario applause doll. I used to have one as a kid and those things are amazing :)
The AV rack is no longer in production as far as I am aware. I'll have to spin it around and look at the model #.
Yea Ive had that doll since I was a kid. I stabbed him in the face when I was a teen and kinda regret it now. Mario's lucky I didn't have a bow or something at the time. ha

Lol sort of. The Game Chasers organized a fundraiser on Indigogo this last fall to fund the release of their DVD. There were various commitment options, and the more you donated, the more stuff you got. I paid $30 I think which got me the DVD set and a game that the Game Chasers hunted themselves. They warned people that "it might not be a good game" which Batman Forever certainly is not lol, but I thought it was so cool that it was a game that was actually hunted for and was given to me by the Game Chasers. So yea, if it weren't for that I wouldn't even own this game, and it sure as hell wouldn't be sitting on top of my display with some of the SNES greats :p

Well thank you :). My only problem is the room the collection is in (too small) and my cart shelf since most of the games are three stacks deep into the shelf and you're unable to see all of them without pulling games out. I'm working on finishing my basement and turning it into a game room, and will have 3 times the space for my collection.

Wow bikingjahuty, that's an amazing collection! I hope mine can get that big eventually. And I hope I have the space for it then :P
Thank you very much :). I've been collecting for a while so what you see if the labor of hunting for about 5 years. Getting my games as cheap as possible really helped with getting so many games. Being obsessed with video games, like pretty much everyone here, also helped :p

I've been collecting for 3 years, but more "seriously" for about a year only. I hunt my games as cheap as possible too, being on a very limited budget as a student :P Living in small apartments makes me limited in space too though, so it's better I don't buy too many at a time anyway.

I'm still awaiting on Captain Soera and General Turfs collection pics?I'm glad I out rank soera. I need to do some pictures but my room looks like shit. I'm out of space and I refuse to box anything up. I may do a video. That'll be easier than posting a ton of pictures.

This must be what Heaven looks like 8) No words to describe this. Thanks for putting these up. This was amazing and has me emotional. Very Very awesome collection. First Dragon Warrior collection like that I have ever seen. :D :D :D :D It's crazy tho' I pictured you completely different lol.
May I ask how did you get that PlayStation store demo tv thing?
Heh one of the guys on Nintendo Age said he pictured me totally different too. My Dragon warrior collection has been about 2 years in the works (at least 2 dedicated years. A lot of those games/items Ive had for much much longer).
The kiosk was just a lucky sale I ran into about a year ago. Kiosks will pop up from time to time (A lot of people on NA scored Wii kiosks when the Wii U was set to release). You mostly have to be in the right place at the right time. I certainly was for the one I have. Good thing was it was 1 of 2 I was interested in owning (the other being an SMS kiosk which I havent ever seen one in person).
Glad you liked the pics. I was going to wait til I was totally finished with the SMS stuff and gotten a few more of my DQ items in but I can just add those pics in the future. :)

Yea I know right. Soera, can I pay you 500 a month to rent out your gaming room?
Oh, and what I meant by your pic not looking as I thought is due to on the comments you have a great sense of humor,funny and seem really cool. The pic made me feel like you are some one I should not pick a bar fight with. Like, If I said something wrong, you would try to kick my *** lol ;)

Thanks! Im pretty happy with the DQ shrine. I have a few more pieces I want to add but after that, its going to be done bar whatever is released in the future (hopefully DQX and DQVII 3DS).

I like the controllers on the wall. It adds to the ambiance as well as making them super easy to access and the cords dont end up all tangled together if just put in a big box/crate/whatever.
Heh not sure what people pictured me to be like. :) Maybe we should have a photo thread!

Aint that the truth. I have to put all mine in a plastic tub thing and I get them out specific to the system when using it. If I had a house I would prob put mine on a wall as well. The only ones I leave out are the Atari 2600's they stayed connected to my Atari, and My Wii Motes and the Wii Classic Controller which I keep displayed on the shelf right now.

Im not a huge board game fan. None of them seem very interesting and I probably wouldnt even have them if I didnt find them at thrift stores.as i said each to their own.

The ottoman thing seems pretty cool. I thought about that because I have a 2 person couch in my room sitting in front of my 55" for the new games. I don't currently have anything to rest my feet on but that sounds cool. Do you keep them all in like big Ziploc bags?
Post by: stethebubble on January 23, 2014, 03:51:59 pm
Im not a huge board game fan. None of them seem very interesting and I probably wouldnt even have them if I didnt find them at thrift stores.as i said each to their own.
I like the controllers on the wall. It adds to the ambiance as well as making them super easy to access and the cords dont end up all tangled together if just put in a big box/crate/whatever.

i will take a photo to show you.
under the bags are the extra controllers guitars etc

How long will you sit and listen to me ramble about my piles of games? Be warned, I say "neat" and "Umm" a lot. I wasn't in "public speaking" mode when I did the first run.
Anything I should spend more time on? What do you want to hear about?
I think I'm going to do the whole thing again since I don't know anything about editing.
I didn't try the first time and it was 16 min.
The Boy's gone. I may get off in a couple beers and then do it.

Uh, I stuck around for the whole video and no you dont look like you sound on the forums lol. Uh, Great video by the way! :) You have a nice collection and seem like a really cool laid back dude. Uh, Not sure why your wife likes you tho' lol.
Seriously, very cool room and video tho'. I really like your NES/game and watch display case. And I love your Star Wars stuff :D Awesome Darth Vader lamp, I'm jealous of that. But glad the General finally put up a video, it's really cool and I enjoyed it very much ;)

Y'all with your videos make me wanna make one of my own, but I don't have a camera besides on my phone, and I also have maybe at most half of my collection with me (the rest is at my parents' house due to a lack of space in my apartment), so I wouldn't have much to show. I do like to talk a lot though, according to everybody I know, heh. When I have something to show someday, I might give it a go, I guess.
It can't be as bad as mine. Jump in there. It's fun.
Post by: bobster on January 25, 2014, 08:51:02 pm
lol @ Bobster. I was cracking up many parts while watching this with my wife. When Turf said his wife likes him for some reason and when he mentioned a lot of games and the awesome Battletoads nes she bought him, I looked at my wife and told her "See. I told you its okay to buy video games for me" and she just walked away lol. Amazing video! I actually want Turf to do more gaming videos. I think they will be very cool. General Turf's Video Game Adventure Series or something.My girlfriend was watching the video with me too. She mentioned that everything Turf really liked or was expensive was a gift from his wife lol. I just played it off and I was like yeah that's cool of her *Shifty eyes*. She's always afraid of getting me something, and then I'll have suddenly bought myself one too. Oh well!
Bobster, do you have a game room video or pics for us?
I don't have anything too fancy as a display, and there's still a lot stuffed away, but I'll get a picture up tomorrow. The lighting on my shelf is terrible so I'll wait until it's light out.

Actually, I really loved yours! I just finished watching it, and it was really interesting. Knowing how you collect, some "special stories" for some games or accessories, anecdotes, it was all really fun to see/watch :) You room sure is nice, too.

Same here with my boyfriend, he doesn't want to take a chance. So instead of coming home with a game he found, he sometimes decides to buy a game from under my nose when we're shopping together, haha. Like, I'm taking the game in my hands and say something like "Oh my gosh I'm so taking this!", then he snags it from my hands and runs away to the cashiers. Doesn't happen often, but it makes me laugh every time :P

You should Turf. See, everyone else is wanting to load videos because yours was so awesome and entertaining! :) We don't care about it being edited and all that crap. That's why yours is so good because it's real and you are honest with all your stories on how you got your stuff. I am a fan

I just watched all 22 minutes of your video. It didnt even seem like it was that long to be honest. It was cool. I should do one someday. Im not sure how sexy it would be though. That goes more with my after hours videos I make.
Make sure you put a segment in the game room tour where you kick and lick some *** ;)

Hahaha I suppose that's true! I never considered it that way :D. I'm lucky my girlfriend is supportive and involved in my game collecting too.
That roll on top of the Zelda treasure box is a bunch of posters I got from PAX east last year that I need to get framed and up on the wall. Then it'll start feeling like more than just shelving. Once I get a new TV stand that can fit all the consoles I want, I'll post pictures of that. Currently everything just gets pulled out and hooked up in front of the TV :(.

You guys crack me up :P Speaking isn't the same as writing, though. I have less time to think about how to form sentences, and then there's the damn pronunciation. And I'm natively French-Canadian, so I have a weird English accent ::) It was better back in high school though, I played MMORPGs everyday and spoke with some American friends, so I was more "into it".
We would still love a video when you get the chance :)

There's many reasons. First, he has lots of exams coming up, so I don't wanna make too much noise and bother him while he studies. Also, I'm somewhat too much self conscious, and I feel weird if someone sees me talking "to a camera". :P And last, I won't have to make sure he doesn't make too much background noise in the video, which would be a little lame to listen to :)

I'm the original owner, bought it with my allowance money back in 1993/1994 at the local KBToys. It was on sale, and it looked fun. :D It still boggles me that it's gotten so pricey~
I wish I could get the price sticker residue off, but it's probably best left alone at this point.

I find it unlikely that a combo breaker shall be achieved, but perhaps our collections will compliment one another? ;) I have Dragon Quest rugs on preorder, you don't get much goofier than that. I tend to favor quirky things, but limited funds keeps me picky these days.

And then as a side note, a member named Turf, does not have a Dragon Warrior shrine; however, Turf is an underwear model and loves to send out random unwanted half naked selfies to all the members on here so I'm just warning you ;D
...underwear model, eh? I wait to see the veracity of your claim there! :P
Please be careful in wanting to verify this claim. I have heard that Turf if extremely attractive, and that his modeling pictures have even got him free meals and games before... :-X

It is this site (http://www.woodus.com/den/home.php). There is a lot of great information on the Dragon Warrior/Quest series here.Heh I was right. I went to the den and the last person I talked to on there was you. :)
The den?
Ah, sweet! 8) Thanks PacPix! :D
Post by: anruiukimi on February 02, 2014, 11:20:30 pm
LOL you guys are hilarious. You would be right in saying that our collections would compliment each other. I had actually pre-ordered all 3 rugs but I cancelled them cause I wasnt too happy with the final look of them. I havent branched out too much on the DQ swag. I do have to say I wish I had more access to the JP stuff. Its just super expensive here. Glad to see someone has the inflatable slimes. Ive looked into getting those but figured they would be cheesy. After seeing yours, I may get one myself.
I think we have talked before on the Den about soundtracks.
Ha! Yeah, too lazy for cage matches myself. :P
I thought the rugs were cute, myself, I have two of each on order, plus the SQ Store limited set as well: http://store.jp.square-enix.com/detail/MW53012?fromsearch=
What didn't you like about them? (Just curious.)
My plan is to hook/attach all nine together into a bigger one. :)
Heh, small world! Well, I suppose there is only so many DQ fans here in the US. And yes, the stuff is expensive...I get most of my stuff through CDJapan preorders: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/ but if I can't get certain things through there, I'll order from Amazon.co.jp and have them sent to a friend in Japan. I'm being pickier than I was in Japan, I don't have the funds like I used to. :P
The inflatables are cute! They hold their air well, too...I blew them up for that photo back in Sept/Oct 2011, and they are all still inflated! One wears a Santa hat now~

Thats where we went to get a lot of info I needed to make the custom Caravan Heart stuff. It's an excellent site for Dragon Quest stuffs for sure.

I just think the ones that are actually being pre-ordered now look like knockoffs.
Ill definitely look at getting one of the inflatables now. But if you look at my game room pics on here, Im pretty limited on space especially in my DQ area heh.

The funny part? The other ones are the bootlegs. :P I remember seeing them, I thought they were poorly constructed. They were more accurate in appearance to the early games, the new release resembles the SNES stairs quite a bit, when I compare the two. But it's what works for us, right? :)
SPACE? Bah. Who needs space? Those inflatables are propped up all over my current place of residence right now. ;)

Its a problem I never thought Id have to deal with. :) I honestly have considered thinning out the collection but when I go in there to figure out what I would let go of, I always walk out of the room empty handed. :P
Ah, same here. I realized recently that I'll have to cut big in expenses if I wanna make it to the summer (when I can have a job), so I tried to choose a few games to sell (then buy them again when I have more money to spare). I decided to sell New Super Mario U, and...that's it. Can't bear to leave anything else :(

The first three rugs I have on order from CD Japan (great store, I've ordered from them for almost 15 years, it's where I get most of my DQ stuff.) Unfortunately, their preorders on the rugs have stopped. Maybe one of the other import stores?

I hope you're kidding, or else I don't think I'll ever touch any DQ game ever again :o I actually played VIII for 3 hours (I don't consider that "playing" it for such a long game, more like dipping my toe) but I got so freaking tired of grinding, especially right off the bat. Seriously, 2 hours of grinding just to reach the second village?! I almost threw my PS2 off the window and promptly traded the game :(

IV, VII, and VIII were definitely my favorites. I also really enjoyed Caravan hearts.

I have been habitually referred to as a bad influence, especially when it comes to buying fun stuff. :P I've been semi-banned from shopping with a friend of mine after an almost $1k day in Osaka (the two of us together, not separately) back in 2008. The $250 Gundam suitcases didn't help....
If you want the arrow mats, you'll want to get a shopping service to help, unfortunately. :/

I think we'd have lots of fun together in there haha :) I plan on traveling to Japan eventually, and I already know that I will need a big amount for buying stuff to bring back home. Do you speak Japanese at all?
Personally, I would suggest Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. That game is really really good, and it's on the DS (your favorite system)!
Aww, you noticed :D I'll definitely consider it!

::cackles:: I lived in Japan for three years (2008-2011,) taught English, the usual gig. Turned into a three year shopping trip, sadly. :P
My Japanese isn't great, but I understand better than I speak it. I'm trying to brush up a bit these days.

Funny you say that. Im not the biggest Mario freak either but you are definitely right ... for swag type items, he is top dog. Also I see the 2 McD Skylander toys. We have 4 of them ourselves. Crusher, Jet vac, Drobot, and Ignitor.
I wanted Drobot so bad, but I never could find him. I love dragons, and I mainly collect dragons skylanders as to give myself some "barriers" (to limit my spendings), so he would have been cool to have! But I'm happy I got Chop-chop, I've always liked him but he doesn't fit my "dragons" theme so well haha. I almost bought Kaos too, but I decided he wasn't cool-looking enough haha.

I hate Drobot. He is so overpowered on the game its unreal. Him and Crusher. I actually wanted Spyro since before Skylanders, he was still game material. :)
Really? I keep dying when I use him in Spyro's Adventure haha. When the game was still being tested, I heard people on that project talk a lot about how much Terrafin was overpowered since he was able to be invincible at almost all times, by diving underground, jumping out, diving in...
Post by: soera on February 03, 2014, 10:10:15 pm
I will agree on Terrafin's dive but I didnt really enjoy him as a character so I never bothered with it.

I didn't want this to become an hour-long video either :o

I really like the skylander stealth elf candy tin, that scythe stylus is something I would use, and I didnt realize they had come out with a hardback Link between worlds guide. Guess I have one more thing to look for.

Going to watch the video after I post this reply. Kenny, I played Torneko. It doesnt have an RPG feel. Its more like a solo dungeon crawler action game. It didnt hold my attention past a few hours.
Thanks.
Yeah, I'd heard that it was more of a roguelike than the rest of the series.
What's up with DQ VII?
I've got it for the PS1 -and- I've heard very...'mixed' things about it.
So what's it got going for it (in "goods" & "bads")?
Also...if I'm going to play it - should I just go ahead & play the PS1 version?
I'm only asking that, because - weren't there rumors(?) about a re-make of it coming out on a more modern system?
Feel free to answer in the VGAnonymous/general thread so we can stop hi-jacking this one ;)

Awesome Video! :) I will have to agree with Soera that the best part was when you were attacked by Yoshi. At first, I thought you fell or something lol. The camera shook for a moment and I was confused. But it was just Yoshi lol. But love the accent!! :D You sound very cute and fun to hang around. It also reminded me that I want a PSP and a neo geo pocket color very badly
Just curious, Do you use your laptop for gaming?

It's actually a lot of fun. I'm trying to come up with new ideas to make videos about. It's hard to fit stuff into my unedited, sloppy format.

Post by: stethebubble on February 05, 2014, 07:14:04 am
alot of construction going on. new kitchen counter tos and shelving is blocking the way.
once i have done all that i will make a video.
Post by: scott on February 05, 2014, 08:34:27 am
I'll make sure to check it out as soon as I get home. Love seeing everyone else's game rooms.
Very nice video! I'm going to have to steal the drawers idea from you. I have a bunch of player 2 controllers, memory cards and misc stuff that has no place at the moment.
This has me thinking of making my own video tour, but I'd need to finish setting some things up. I don't have a lot of things out in the open.

Awesome Video! :) I will have to agree with Soera that the best part was when you were attacked by Yoshi. At first, I thought you fell or something lol. The camera shook for a moment and I was confused. But it was just Yoshi lol. But love the accent!! :D You sound very cute and fun to hang around. It also reminded me that I want a PSP and a neo geo pocket color very badly
Just curious, Do you use your laptop for gaming?
Haha, thanks :) I got to find a new place for that damn Yoshi before someone gets hurt or eaten alive :P
I do use my laptop to play some games, but not a lot. Since I use Linux, there are less games available. But I didn't play much from the start anyway, nowadays I mostly play during the holidays and the steam sales. I did play a lot of Starbound in January though, before becoming over-busy with classes.

yeah but I don't want to be tripping everywhere while filming, not to mention the family just got a cat, so I would like to get it so he ( or my dog who is less likely, but very big) couldn't get into too much trouble being in hereReally loving the video tours of the game rooms. now if I would stop being lazy, Clean up and actually shoot some video...
Dude, did you see mine? There was shit everywhere. If you put it off until you're ready, it'll never happen. Just do it. :)

thats a big bear for a such a small room.
He is, but since we don't use that corner, he's fine! We actually have 2 of these, but the other one is with the rest of my collection for obvious reasons :P

Please make a video too! It's fun to watch, and I'm sure we mostly don't care about mess :P I love these drawers things. They don't look that good, but they don't look ugly either. I guess it's a great neutral area. And they sure are really useful!

It's mostly that I need another bookcase and one set of those drawers. I want to up another bookcase on the opposite side of my couch and put my console boxes out.
Maybe one day, but it'll take a lot of liquid courage.

^^^ That is what I call a quality collection! I saw a boxed EVO and was like o.o!!!! lol
Thank you! :) Funny enough, I'm the original owner of my copy of E.V.O. Bought it in, 1994? When did it come out? At the local KBToys with my allowance money. Never thought at 12-ish years old that it would suddenly be super-rare. :P
Bought my copy of Earthbound at ToysRUs new as well, although I've misplaced the box in the house somewhere, so the guide is downstairs with the others, and the game is in one of those blue boxes on the second level. xD
Looks great anruiukimi! But those poor boxes on the bottom of the stacks!
Thank you! :D Yeah, I was a little concerned with the NES/SNES games in the stacks at first, but I've been keeping an eye on them, and they seem to be holding up well. I wouldn't stack any higher, though, even if I could. (The Toobin box was already damaged when I got it, that's not from my stacking.)
I can't wait when I have more room to spread everything out again. I've got so much stuff in storage~

I love the bidoof cards on display in the boxes haha. Love the Pokémon stuff everywhere. And that's a lot of gamecubes to have :oGlad you noticed! :o Bidoof is stronger than all legendaries combined, every tin needs to be about Bidoof-EX. Also, I really like your collection as well, especially the video.

I hate Bidoof. I think it's because in the first game he's in, he's one of the Pokemon you fight constantly at low level. Which is strange because Pidgey is in the same boat, but he's one of my favorites.

nes,snes, genesis, xbox, 360, n64, dreamcast, Saturn, neo geo, psp, all the Gameboys and ds's, wii and there is some dvds on there but the shelving is the ones from blockbuster I was able to pick up when they closed. Also the blanket a friend of my moms made for me out of a bunch of old halo and xbox shirts truly is awesome il take a better picture of it :)That's some epic shelving.

It's hard to see them, but behind Kirby and the lamp is a solid wall of boxes systems stretching to the ceiling. I just ran out of room... I have no idea what I'll do if I get more for now.
(http://uploadwiki2.wdfiles.com/local--files/wiki%3Atres/20140227_031400.jpg)
The top shelf contains a lot of NES game boxes. It's another sacrifice for efficiency, there are probably a good 80-100 boxes behind the front stuff.

I have another full shelf of big box PC games that I just don't have room for here elsewhere in the house. The countdown clock si blocking another row of big box PC games.
All my modern games and systems are in the living room for the most part. It really doesn't subtract much simply because I don't have more than like 30 games for all the current generation systems. (well, last gen actually, I refuse to recognize Wii U/Xbone/PS4 right now).

Warning: once you start framing your gaming posters, etc. it's a very slippery slope. Soon you won't be able to stand to look at anything that's NOT framed. :P I think I'll have one un-framed gaming poster hung after all of this, and that's because it's a very odd shape but too cool to take down - a metallic skinny horizontal poster for Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando.

I can kind of attest to this :o
I guess that before I started collecting & hanging up my Giclees (up to 6 on the wall of my master bedroom now), I wouldn't have really cared much one way or the other.
*BUT*...NOW (that I've got the whole 'Giclee-theme' going on - even though NIS America now also offers cheaper paper posters with similar pictures on them)...I just feel like it would cheapen and/or "unbalance" what I've been doing :-\
Anyone one else here w/ tattoos can probably tell you the same thing...if you get one on one of your forearms, shoulders, biceps, etc ==>
==>You'll soon find yourself wanting & *Needing* another tat on the opposite ____ - just to 'Balance' things out & make everything "right" ;D

I've had these posters for a while. Two of them - Kingdom Hearts & Dark Cloud 2 - are 2 of my favorite box arts on the system. And I'm just a big R&C fan. :) The keyblade was a Christmas gift last year from a good friend - awesome surprise. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering - I can remember my name just fine. My brother worked at a sign place when I was little & made that for me, and I've just always kept it hung somewhere. No one calls me "Gregory" except my mom (and your mom is allowed to call you anything she wants!).

Here's a closer shot - my GC/Wii games are here, along w/ some statues & my Mario domino set. Notice the joystick light switch - a must for any game room. ;)

This is my Tales "shrine". The empty spot is reserved for Tales of Xillia 2. :D The framed print was a sign at Gamestop - I cut off the banner across the bottom that said GS & framed it, it turned out pretty good imo.

Inside that cabinet are my Xbox games & 360 games - the 360 games are the 2 I didn't want to part with (Vesperia & Culdcept) and a bunch that were worthless so I figured I may as well hang onto them. ;)

An overview of my main game shelf wall. Top shelf is for large CE boxes. Second shelf (from the top) is PSone/Dreamcast/PSP/Vita/DS/3DS games. Then there's my one boxed GBA game, my one boxed NES game, my steelbook cases & my smaller CE boxes. Third shelf is PS2, fourth is PS3.

Left side of my system setup. My PS3/PS4 are in the den connected to the good TV, so these are just my older systems. Xbox on top, top-loader NES/Genesis (one of those newer systems that are sold in drug stores that have a ton of built in games, but it also accepts Genesis carts & has plugs for normal controllers) on the next shelf. GBA SP / GC on the next & my few NES/Genesis carts in a box below that. I've been looking for something nicer looking that will fit in that hole & hold my carts, preferably with a lid, but haven't found anything yet. You can also see my 3DS XL on its dock and the dock for my Vita on the TV shelf, right in front of my PS2 RE chainsaw controller. Oh, and my oversized Wind Waker display box in the far left corner.

Other side of TV. PSX/PS2/DC (black Sports ed.) on the shelves. My Tron CE & toy light disk my wife gave me on top - I love me some Tron. :D The dragon thing is a decorative knife my father-in-law gave me, it's pretty cool.

Right-side close-up of my game shelves. That Chrono Cross clock has been a long time prized possession of mine.

Pac-Man shot glass set & my 2 Arby's Pac-Man glasses circa 1980. My wife gave me one of those for Christmas and I loved it. We found another one at a flea market while on vacation a couple weeks ago for $2, also in perfect condition so I grabbed it. :)

I'm not a huge Killzone fan - but I won that set from IGN's Podcast Beyond. You can see where Greg Miller, Collin Moriarty & Ryan Clements signed it on front. And that's not the standard Killzone CE, it's the super-limited one where the eyes will light up in the helmet. Very cool. BTW, those black felt drawers that are on each side of my system shelves hold my controllers, accessories, memory cards, etc. They're separated by system, and what drawer has what system generally lines up with where the systems are on the shelves. Works very well.

My game soundtrack collection (which starts just to the right of my Smashing Pumpkins collection ;) ). The top ones are ones that didn't come in standard CD cases, and the bottom ones are...those that did. :P There are 4 or 5 more on the shelf just bellow.

Overview shot of my guide shelf. My dad made that shelf for me - it's extremely sturdy & perfect for storing my guides. There are more guides behind those top 2 doors btw, mostly either for games I don't have or just guides I don't care as much about - was running out of space.

Top close up. Sadly, that Punching Galleon doll is all I have left from my Lunar PSOne set. :( And he's a little crooked in the package because my ex decided to take him out one day, which I was NOT happy about. >:(
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3742/13769087523_c235c5ce63.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/mYJb1K)
Top shelf - my Wizard's Companion book from Ni no Kuni CE ;D , my short/fat guides & my small artbooks that came in various CE's. And then my Zelda CE guide collection in the chest. Next shelf is my large artbooks & the start of my CE guides.
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3731/13769074005_09e2e5d400.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/mYJ6ZF)
The rest of my CE guides & then my normal guides. That Skyrim car tag was a Christmas gift from a friend a couple years ago (same one who gave me the keyblade ;) ). I don't have a front tag holder on my car, so decided to just display it.

My only non-gaming poster in the room right now - and I'm thinking about moving it. Love - LOVE - Seinfeld! That shiny R&C poster to the left is very cool too - wish I could find a frame that fit it. The others I'll have closer pics of in a sec.

Probably my most prized gaming-related item. This was a display poster at a toy store (I think KB?). I was in the mall late one night with some college friends back in the mid-90's and we went in the toy store to look around. I saw the poster & loved it. The place was deserted, the clerk girl looked bored out of her mind - so I asked her when they were going to take it down (the game had been out a bit by then). She told me to take it. Looks amazing framed.

My wife gave me this for Christmas last year. My favorite Penny-Arcade strip - it doesn't need a single word to get its message across. Pretty much sums up why I like to game. :)

I used to have this entire DQ8 stand-up display but it was too bulky and I didn't have room for it. Removed this center piece, which was the main piece anyway. I think it looks really good on its own. Crazy Taxi logo above the door was also part of a large display at one point.

My 2 framed Nintendo Power posters. I thought these came out amazingly - and all I did was get some black poster board & double sided tape. I call this my...wait for it...Metroidvania wall. *insert groans here* :P This is in the hall just outside the game room, btw.
Was that enough pics? ;)

Ah, no, but thank you. :D More Riverside/MoVal/Beaumont area. :) I'm hoping to split a house with someone eventually, I have too much crap for an apartment~
My neighbor's house is empty as of a couple days ago. Of course its not SoCal but its probably just as cheap to rent a house here in OKC as it would be to rent a room in SoCal. :)
It would be really hard to continue working for my job from OKC...just saaaayin :P Living that close to the other side of the family would be different, though.

Argyle, where did you get the frames for the posters? And how much does it cost?
Different places - the 3 PS2 posters are in frames I got from Wal-Mart. I've had them a while, but I want to say I paid around $10/each for them. The Nintendo Power posters I got from Michael's (an arts & crafts store, dunno if it's regional or not). They were having a buy 1 get 1 sale so they averaged around $8-$10 each I think. Some of the others I've had for a while so I don't remember where or how much I paid. And the PA strip is in a frame that I frankly overpaid for, but I wanted it in a nicer frame so there ya go. ;D

Oh I see, I'll have to go to Walmart and Michaels, they opened a store a couple months ago near me.
Thanks for answering my question!

Since my first post, I've upgrade from "Gaming Shelves" to "Gaming Bookcase"! lol I got everything better organized now. Top shelf is nothing but Zelda games. Second shelf is basically all Nintendo related. Third Shelf is Nintendo 64 since I can actually pull them out of the drawer now and Sega games. Fourth Shelf is PS1/PS2/PS3 and Xbox 360 Games. and bottom shelf is mostly just for whatever and the few cased copies of PC games I have. I have a bunch of physical PC games over the years, but most of those are just in a big CD case. I have some more gaming memorabilia stuff to put on the shelf that are elsewhere in the room right now, but I'm slowly building up.
Looking great :) I like how there's space at the front of the bookcase to put some toys and whatnot. I'll have to get me some bookshelves like this when I have enough space!

I think I have the same bookcase, but in black. I kept getting damaged ones when I first bought mine. It's an okay case, unfortunately only holds about 1/4 of my stuff! I wanna just build a whole wall shelf system at this point.

I meant to comment earlier, but I really like those 2 side cabinets with the glass doors - really classy. If I were to nit-pick, I'd say try to store the extra controllers & games in the doors down below so that all that's showing up top are the consoles themselves, just to make it look that much classier. ;)

I am currently in the process of relocating my game room down in my basement (finished it recently), and can't wait to get everything set up and displayed the way I have wanted to for years. I will definitely do a new room tour vid once it it finished.
Post by: bikingjahuty on June 30, 2014, 02:28:40 am
As I said in my last comment, I was planning on moving my game room downstairs to the basement, where the room to store and display my collection would almost triple! Sadly, that plan is out; a family member of mine has recently needed a place to live and they'll need the space of the finished basement to live and store their stuff for the foreseeable future. While this is less then ideal for the sake of the my collection, i've chosen to use this situation to my advantage and cultivate my current game room to max the amount of display space I have for my collection.
I have been working all weekend to accomplish this project, keeping in mind that I'd like to have at least 99% of my entire game collection on display. While the room is not finished yet, I have succeeded!
I plan on posting pics of the new room and possibly a video tour of my revamped game room within the next week or so. Can't wait to share it with you guys and gals :)

While this is less then ideal for the sake of the my collection, i've chosen to use this situation to my advantage and cultivate my current game room to max the amount of display space I have for my collection.
I have been working all weekend to accomplish this project, keeping in mind that I'd like to have at least 99% of my entire game collection on display. While the room is not finished yet, I have succeeded!
I plan on posting pics of the new room and possibly a video tour of my revamped game room within the next week or so. Can't wait to share it with you guys and gals :)
I really enjoyed your video a while back Jahuty. Cant wait for the update! :)

EDIT: Also, thanks for pointing out the Shenmue LE. I honestly never paid any attention to there being a difference - I've had my copy since it released. Had it in my collection as the standard, but checked last night and I do have the LE so I updated that. ;)

Jesse, awesome game room tour, I really enjoyed it! Question, who is the artist who did those custom FF posters? Wondering if they have an online store, I love their art style!

Thank you :D! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'll have to find the business card for the artist that did three out of the four FF posters (the Yuna one is by another artist, not sure on her name either) because I cannot remember his name. I will let you know as soon as I find it :)
And glad I could help. Aside from the cover being a little different and it including a soundtrack, it is easy to confuse the two :p

tbh, I haven't had a lot of time to play it, but am a few hours in and so far it is a very charming game. I'm going to dive into it this weekend and get some solid time with it :)

I haven't had a chance to watch the 2nd part of your video Biking, but I'm super jealous of your Suikoden 2 protagonist statue! You've got a pretty sweet collection though :D
Part 2 is the best part!
Thanks man, I appreciate it :). I was happy to find that too, it's not very big, but it's pretty cool.

Do it however you feel like. If it needs a diagram, I want a diagram.

Oh it will have one. There is simply too much stuff in the media area, to leave people guessing as to what it is. Its all be condensed to sleeves and the three shelf sections go from floor to ceiling.

I use a photo hosting site. There are many of them, but I use photoBUCKET. It gives you several links after you upload the pics, choose the IMG Direct link and it will post the actual picture.

Awesome piece of collection! I still have so much to learn about PS1 games. The only ones I know of (and that I want) are either way out of my price range, or I own them, so that gives you an idea :P The fact that I never (or very rarely) see any in the wild here doesn't help.

Not my collection, but a good friend of mine and local collector made a game room tour recently and I thought I'd share it simply because it is one of the most impressive collections I have ever seen. Sadly he downsized his classic Nintendo collections recently, but still. If you are a Sony fan you will crap your pants when you see if PS1 and PS2 collections.
What? a N64 Box set for Pokemon Stadium?! I didn't even know that N64 Set existed.

Added another shelf to the Castlevania shrine! I ended up moving the manga and comic book tbp off to a bookshelf though. But things are a lot less crammed together now.
Man that Dawn of Sorrow box art for the greatest hits or whatever version just looks so bad on this shelf haha.

First up is the Sega Mega CD hooked up to an old CRT-Amiga monitor:
(http://vgcollect.com/images/gallery/1/19214/2_dscn3214.jpg)
This is the shelf where I show off the finest in my collection. The computers on display are Amigas, Ataris and Commodore 64/128. The games are games for these systems, and of course Sega Mega Drive/Mega CD games and Master System games. In the drawers on the bottom of the shelf are all the cables/joysticks necessary to hook up all these computers to the same setup as the Sega Mega Drive is currently hooked up to:

Here are two shots from my retro-corner:
Wow, that certainly is quite something to be proud of! This is one of the very few collections that I see that really tickles every neat-freak bone in my body, it's just so clean and uncluttered, and I really love the lights you have on your shelf, and the Amiga monitor looks great as well. Regardless it's great to see more UK-based collectors on the sight :D

Have you posted pics of your collection somewhere else before? I felt like I've seen these before. -I guess there's only so many ways to stack 10,000 games on a shelf. ;)
I've posted a few pic's from it here and there, this is the first time you see pretty much the whole room.
Maybe You saw one of those? :P
Everything has been said about Flea's game room, but still a wow from me.
Mail me the opening hours for that museum, and next time im in the USA ill visit ;D
You know I've had several people tell me I should charge admission to it. lol
Honestly I always loved the idea of a gaming museum. ;)
Criminy Flea - how many complete system collections are there? That's kinda a lot of games! :P
Complete sets would surprise you, I have close to many complete sets. 3 to go on NES alone (Not counting holy grail games)
Only missing 39 for a complete PS1 set, and only missing 50 games for a complete N64 set. T16, Neo Geo AES and Neo Geo CD are not far from completion but most of the games i'm missing are expensive.
The only systems I know I have complete is Virtual Boy & Tomy Tutor
I am currently going for a complete Dreamcast collection with only 12 more to go. :D
Damn Flea that is awesome! I loved looking through it all and I will have to look at them at least 3 more times to see everything. You know there is a lot to look at when I missed all the Gameboys the first time through lol
Try owning it and forgetting what you have. lol :P

I seem to recall inviting you out game hunting with me when you where in Chicago for a comic/anime convention (still remember the adorable Godzilla pic) But you got tied up with other things. If your ever out here again just let me know. ;)
Your welcome to bring the little Godzilla too, long as she don't wreck my game room like it was Tokyo. ;)

Ok - I have to ask this question. How do you determine what game you are going to play next? Or is at a point where you can't even sit down and play games due to job, family, hunt for more games?
My collection is getting large (not like your 10,000+ collection and I have a hard time knowing what to play next.) I can't imagine having that many games and trying to figure out my next play session. My asperger mind would explode.
Almost as long as the whole house. lol

With as many games as I own, It hard to play them all, and to be honest there are some games I know I'll never get around to.
When ever I buy a new game I have a rule that I don't open it til I'm ready to play it, and I still have SNES games sealed just because I never got around to playing them. Now I feel guilty opening them. lol
Usually I just play what I feel like. I was playing Dragons Age and once I finished that I usually feel like something different so I'll pick a racing game or shooter and hold off on another RPG for a while. Some games really don't interest me. I only pick em up just because they are dirt cheap at a garage sale, I put them in once to see they work and play maybe 10 minutes of it and probably will never touch it again. These are the Sport games, Little Kids games or really bad ones that are just good for a laugh. I still like to have them in my collection but they are pretty much just filler games to complete a set.
This is one of the reasons I hate online only games. I personally will never pay full price on any online only game. Just because if I don't get to it til years later and then find out the servers are down it now unplayable. Also online games are like fads, if you don't play it when it first comes out, you usually can't play these games very well later due to not many people play it anymore.
These games will hold no value later in life, so the only way I'll buy Destiny, Titanfall or Evolve is if I see it in a bargain bin for $10 for find it at a garage sale dirt cheap.
I know there's no way I can play and beat every game I own in my lifetime. But I love owning it so If I i get in the mood to play it, I can just grab it off the shelf.

Gundam Side Story 0079
NBA 2K2
NFL Blitz 2000
Ready to Rumble Round 2
South Park Rally
Striker Pro 2000
Super Runabout
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
Nothing extremely rare or expensive, most are Filler titles.
I'm hitting some stores in the Wisconsin area soon, maybe I'll pick a few more up. :P

Where you get those shelves at?
The main bookcase I got from here (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6109503.htm). A couple of those shelves at the bottom are ones I added though.
Post by: theflea on February 28, 2015, 10:58:09 am
Hey TheFlea. What are those lockboxes your using to hold your hand held collections?
They are custom display cases that I bought at a garage sale a couple years ago.
The guy I bought em from used to use them at flea markets to display his goods.
I used them a year ago to display my consoles at a gaming party I hosted.
You can see them used here.

Awesome display idea!
thanks
i need to change it slightly as there is not enough room under the shelf to easily put the controller cables.
also they are a little too deep for the N64 controller

I always thought about adding track lighting to my console displays, but was always afraid of the light damaging the consoles over time. Looks awesome though. :)
Is that a thing with lighting? I know sunlight on boxes and systems is not good and will fade out, but does regular lighting or LED lighting do that too in some way if it's particularly harsh?

Post by: argyle on March 15, 2015, 02:58:53 am
Yes, this is why you find discolored games consoles. Sunlight is the worst, if your gaming consoles (or carts) is in direct sunlight it can discolor them. Smoking households also discolor consoles and I know standard light bulbs (even many newer ones) will discolor many plastics. Florescent is "supposed" to be better. and I'm not sure about LEDs.
One of my local Wal-Mart's has a copy of Game & Wario for the Wii U, which is becoming hard to find, but they've had it in the case directly in front of one of the lights for so long that the front of the cover is extremely faded. :(

I thought this was funny, had a girl come into my game room and this was her reaction.

That's pretty funny, but then again, most people would be surprised I guess ;D
That's a collection that will surprise anyone. Having that much of anything, other than maybe like...books I guess...is impressive lol
Actually, a room filled with books and not being a library would be pretty impressive (and cool-looking) too :D

Post by: fighterpilot562 on May 18, 2015, 05:53:27 pm
The best DVD/VG shelving I've found from a big retailer are the old Besta units from Ikea that are 8" deep. They don't make them anymore and the new model that replaced it is nearly twice as deep. I've actually bought a few of these older units off Craigslist so you might want to check there. What makes them nice is that none of the shelves are fixed and the backing isn't a cheap, flimsy piece of fiberboard. They're also easy to disassemble.
Here's a pic I took when I was moving and had sold one of them off:

Today, I did the unthinkable for me. I broke down my entire game room. All the posters off the walls/ceiling, all the games and stuff in boxes, etc. We are looking into a new house. It just feels weird to look at my game room right now.
I did that once. Right before our first little girl was supposed to be born. Packed up all my stuff and turned my room into a nursery. Now that room is The Boy's bedroom. My Last Corner of the World is a recovered storage room.

Yes, there's alot of titles where the JP versions beat the US version. Some of the more notable ones are F-Zero X and Super Smash Bros( which I have), along with Super Famicom Squaresoft RPG's like FF6 and Bahamut Lagoon.^^ That N64 JP Ocarina of Time box looks pretty sweet!!!

The move was a definite beneficial status upgrade in my family. Both the wife and I are closer to work (2 miles to mine compared to 8, 1/4 mile for her compared to 10). Better school district. And its my brother's house cause he got relocated in the military so I can deal with family instead of someone I used to work with and couldnt care less about us anymore.
Ah I see. Understood. Good luck man

Sorry about that. Imgur doesn't resize stuff I upload from my phone.
Nothing to be sorry about. I just had the urge to make it look nice.

It's out in the garage. As you can see, I'm not a minty collector, lol. I collect to play/read/use.

Thanks.
I use a few power-strips and system selectors. But they are all hooked-up to that one T.V. And my original Wii is in the living room to use as the Hulu box.

Post by: ignition365 on October 20, 2015, 10:26:41 am
It's a shoe organizer from Target. I got it on clearance, but I think it's usually $18. Not a bad deal. The room has two doors, but we always keep that door closed, so it works really well for that organizer. It also doesn't behave like crummy organizers, the door opens and closes easy with the hooks on the top, I give it a solid 5/5. It even has a little shelf on the top, I put two of my bigger less used controllers up there.Here is the current state of my retro gameroom.

The closet has about 10 of those pink bins (in blue color as well) with all of my accessories relatively well sorted by system... as well as like 10 boxes of duplicates, my 20th anniversary ps4, old old systems (atari, odyssey, TI-94/a, arcadia 2001, etc.), and my oversized controllers (ps2 chainsaw, n64 steering wheel, donkey konga bongos, etc.)
One of my steel battalion sets is in another closet with all of the guitar hero/rock band junk. Finally got the disc for steel battalion yesterday, need to try it out. I have another steel battalion set at my brother's apartment about a 4 hour drive from me, need to drive up there one Sunday and pick it up.

This might be it, doesnt look like it has the little area on the top, but hard to tell.
Derp. It's this one.

Very nice. How does the 360 do in that tighter space? One of my biggest fears is keeping the more modern systems in tighter space, because they need room to breath normally.
No too bad. If I ever feel like it's overheating then I can just put it back up because there is space for that. I'll probably do that once I get a 360 controller charger dock

I run my newer systems on battery back ups. that way if i get a power cut i can still turn it off correctly.
Post by: rayne315 on December 07, 2015, 03:29:00 pm
I recently unplugged a bunch of systems that I haven't used in a while from my power strips and found out something a bit shocking, my energy bill dropped $20 month over month. unplugging those systems was the only thing of note I did over that space of time as I played the same amount of time used the same lights and cooked the exact same amount. so that has got me thinking does anyone have a power solution, like a power strip, that cuts power to systems that are off but still take power? like how ps4 and xbone always have the light on even when powered off and can turn themselves on when they sense a update.
Post by: ignition365 on December 07, 2015, 04:21:22 pm
B) Most electronics use minor amounts of electricity while off even if plugged in. My understanding is that if you are using a power strip and you turn off the power strip when not using it, the devices shouldn't be able to receive any electricity, but I could be wrong.

A) It's winter time, if you don't use your heater or you have a gas heater, your bill will drop.
B) Most electronics use minor amounts of electricity while off even if plugged in. My understanding is that if you are using a power strip and you turn off the power strip when not using it, the devices shouldn't be able to receive any electricity, but I could be wrong.
A) I actually noticed this happen before the winter and even adjusted for the fluctuations of energy price it still wouldn't have accounted for $20 so all the systems hooked up must have taken up a lot more power than I expected.
B) my power strips are behind my entertainment system and I would love to keep them back their so both flipping the switch on my power strip and unplugging the strip are both difficult and unwanted.
more-so What I was asking was does anyone have any of those smart power strips that actually cut all power to the outlet when the item is not in use? and if so do they work and would you recommend them? like are they cost effective for the price you pay for them?

Idk, im just sayian, my bill 2 months ago was like 200, last month was 143. That was my change from running ac all the time to no ac at all.
For me a $20 change is negligible enough that I dont really question why.

Here is my setup, lets call it the 1.0 version. I have aspirations to make this a transformer type of setup. I plan on getting an all around unit from ikea or something, or maybe just building it myself. I want the tv in the middles and systems going all around it with games and collectables up top. Of course that is after we close a house next year haha. Condo is a bit small for that.

Then you should go for that. It's from IKEA and I can house up to 32 consoles at once. Here a year old pictures:

I moved into my current house about 6 months ago. When we first moved in, the stepson and the boy wanted to share a room. They both decided that they wanted to occupy the garage and so that left open their room. I decided it was time to rebuild the gamecave but with a twist. I was not going to go the museum route. I had a lot of stuff in my previous collection that had no meaning to me and it was so packed full that I couldnt ever make use of the fact that I was a gamer. So I sold/traded/gave away a big chunk of my stuff, invested in an actual TV/chair/footrest and proceeded to build up a room. Hope you guys like the final product.

So I don't have a game room, but I'm in the experimental phases of putting my game collection into my WoN display. Note that the stuff on the bottom is not my collection, just some empty cases I was storing/hoarding. I'm thinking this thing just might hold the bulk of my collection. Still have to get a few more shelves, and then we'll see. My Nintendo banner for the time being is paper, but I'm going to have a hard plastic one made soon. Consider this a work in progress.

It looks good but personally im not a big fan of doubling up on shelving space. I would have a field day if I had access to those kinds of fancy shelves.

Yes, it's a hybrid of display and storage. Being 16 inches deep, I feel like it would be a waste for me to only display one row per shelf. Since I don't have a game room, I want to fit as much of my collection in it as possible and have everything in one place rather than strewn across the house, and just put my favorite stuff on the front rows. :D

Here is a link to my vg collection, showing all of my stuff, and follow my PS2 progress as I attempt to find every game for the system for no reason at all! I have over 325 games, so I have a ways to go. but I am finding games just about every week.Really nice use of the gallery section in your collection. I haven't seen anyone use it and the pictures look good. I'm going to have to do something similar when ever I finish my collection. Taking photos of half completed shelves isn't too impressive.

This shelf has boxed computer games, strategery guides, some hardware and boxed consoles. The CD tower to the right is PC games also. On top there is Retron 5 box, some VCS carts, Stonekeep MISB, a gamecube, Nomad and the Phantasmagoria box set. I will take more pictures when I get the first phase of wall shelves up. Right now it is quite messy, so that is why you only get 1 pic.

Updated my main shelf.
I just realized my SNES-001 is missing from the picture. >:( Normally it's under the mini SNES because I don't touch it that often, but earlier I had taken it out to play with. Oh well.
Some recent changes since my last update is the Char's Custom GameCube, Game Boy Light (GB Camera is plugged into it), CIB orange GC, more boxed games, more plushes. I also have most of the Disk System flyers now. The other first party flyers out there aren't very interesting.

Do you have two AV Famicom systems or is one of those a top-loader NES? ???

i live in a studio apartment tho so the set up looks bad and isn't really complete, i have things to move around and posters to put up still so
this is all gonna be outdated (it already is, doesn't include odin sphere and grand kingdom and a handful of others)
also a cameo of my japanese nintendo dream animal crossing new leaf guide. it has pictures of every item in the game... got it before the game came to the states, before there were internet databases of the items in game (which weren't complete for about a year after the game landed here)

I'd want at least what I paid for them...
Oh wait, well, I guess that is old lady prices.
Honestly, I only hold on to some of my duplicate stuff (especially systems) because I'm concerned my sibling unit will attempt to come at me saying I stole "their" game systems.

Put them in a box. Ship them to me. I'll sell them in October at Retropalooza on consignment.

Went to a convention 2 weeks ago and a guy was selling posters he had made of NES box covers, and they were perfect for the look I was going for so I took 6 of them. Got posters of some of my favorite games, and purposely wanted one to be a more obscure good game like Shadow of the Ninja. Would have gotten Shatterhand or Vice: Project Doom instead if he had them.

I figure this is a good place to show these as well. Got a couple of games autographed, and they are now on display on top of my game shelf:

It's the first page. I clicked it.Is it just me, or is the formatting on the first page completely jacked up?
yeah it is... how did you even notice that?
Also, I'm looking through the pages being a creeper looking at everyone's collections.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd... I'm done.
At the rate I'm going I'll be finished setting up my game rooms in a few years. I've been pretty productive lately though. I want to put up a row of shelves going across the top of the room all the way around for boxes and stuff. But I don't know how much I trust myself plus I need to get a stud finder or something. If I can remember I'll try to upload pictures of my main gameroom and handheld area. The retro game room I have way too much to do to be done anytime soon.

So this is where i usually game(unless playing handhelds), and while it was taken with my crappy phone camera last year, not much has changed since then. Also, yes, i'm one of those weirdos whos consoles and pc share the same monitor at a desk. One day i'll change that.

I don't really have a "game room" per se, but i guess i'll show my current gaming set up(aka desk) anyway.

its called efficiency ;). what person do you know of that can play 2 games at once? so why need 2 screens?

Finally finished doing inventory and organizing the game room. Not quite happy, so I might reorganize down the line, and I want to put up a line of shelves around the top of the room.
Looks fantastic.

The handheld gameroom is basically turning into the PS1/PS2 game room. lol Eventually I'll bring the PS2s back down to the retro game room, I hope.
Hopefully in a week or two I'll have new pics. I'm getting a new phone in a few days, maybe I can take one of those diorama pictures or something.

It's official, I'll be moving into a new place this December which means that I will be setting up an all new game room! The space where the room is going will be much bigger than the current small room it is in. However, I've decided that I do not want to actually take picks or do a tour vid until I reach the 2000 game milestone. I feel like one thing I've done is do tour vids too often when not too much has changed. Would rather wait another year or so to shoot that tour.
That was quick. Doesn't seem that long ago you stated you were slowing down to save for the mortgage. Congrats!

Thanks! I actually had a change of plans due to the real estate market being so overpriced right now and my belief that there is no way that home prices can be sustained at their current prices given inflation, wages, and a variety of other factors. And someone I know who deals heavily in home loans advised me that it was probably the worst time to buy despite what the media and realtors will tell you. But I digress.
I found a large, nice apartment that I will be leasing and it should be exciting what I'm able to do with it. The lack of slowing down is because of the above and of course a few days after making that post I ended up getting a bunch of deals thrown at me that I couldn't refuse. I guess you can unofficially say that I am not slowing down anymore, at least not as much as I stated in that post.

Now keep in mind, it's a garage. A garage I still have to share with my wife as a laundry room/storage area. So if you see some stuff that's out of place, that's why.
That's a memorial collage, and a sign-in board that's framed from my Dad's Celebration of Life Service, in the front, there:

Thanks. I like the space. Not the temperature in summer. Should have that worked out after the next tax-return, though.
Mostly Marvel and DC graphic novels. And not a whole lot of graphic novels. Most of my comic collection is the old floppies, in those old beat-up longboxes. A lot of those books you see are sci-fi novels and stuff like Marvel Encyclopedias, or Movie Hound Guides. I also have a row up top of Star Trek novels.

19½ long boxes...nice sized collection. :) Which company would you say you have more books from? I grew up a DC guy so I'd say over half my collection is DC books (probably a 60% if I had to guess).
I've been trying to replace my boxes before having to resort to using tape. I wish I could get the hard plastic ones but those are running like $30 apiece...too rich for my blood. :o

I'm at around 5500 issues, according to my software. Mostly DC and Marvel, both. Early 90s to current. But with the current, I have been leaning way more to the DC side. (Not liking a lot of what Marvel is doing lately.) I also have a little bit of other licensed stuff (Horror, Sci-fi, Gaming), early Image stuff, Conan, and Star Trek sprinkled through-out.

I swapped all of my regular boxes out for Drawer Boxes from the Collection Drawer Company. Makes it really easy to get to everything, especially issues in the boxes at the bottom of the stack. They run a bit over $10 each in packs of five.
I'd also recommend setting the bottom row up on some 1x2 or 2x4 wood blocks/strips in case there's a leak. I had the pan for my hot water tank leak and it took out my entire bottom row of boxes. Thankfully I had everything bagged and boarded so I didn't lose any comics.
Post by: burningdoom on October 21, 2016, 02:55:42 pm
And if you look, almost all of those are drawer boxes, except a few on top (in front).

Main game room really hasn't changed.
Retro game room pics incoming. I made 2 more shelving units after I got rid of the couch. So now, my sitting unit is a giant shark sleeping bag dubbed "Chumbuddy (http://imgur.com/i8QKFPh)" (That's the product's actual name, but I call him Ripster) and a "Chumbuddy Jr." (He doesn't have a name).

Wonder why more people dont use the gallery option for thier collection pics?Not super obvious.
Also, my gameroom is in an almost constant flux. I'm getting ready to fracture my game rooms because I've run out of space. I'm moving my GCN and Wii games up into the handheld gameroom because I already have a GCN up there for the GBPlayer and Wii games kind of require a more open area. I don't like it, but I'm just plum out of space and nothing else makes sense.

I dont use the gallery option because my game room is not where I want it to be. And now that my wife and I are looking to buy a house I've just started packing things up by system. I hope when we find a house I can get that room underway as soon as possible.We already own, but we are talking about having the house expanded to add an extra room. Planning on something like 16x20 or something.

Built a shelf strictly for GCN, Wii, and Wii U games, almost full, probably has room for another 20-ish games. Still need to bring up my Wiis and my Wii U. Might try to bring up all of the GCN, Wii, and Wii U accessories, but don't know where it would go, so it's not super important right now.
So I'm in the process of shifting stuff around to make room for when I get new stuff. But i'm also planning on printing out more cover art to put N64 games in UGC cases, so when that's done I will probably be out of room again.
Highly considering selling off tons of Genesis and Xbox games just to make room.

I bought a really nice TV stand for my living room. Put the old TV stand in my game room. So now in my living room I have a really nice looking TV stand that has my PS4, X1, PSVR, and Switch. My gameroom has a TV stand that fits all of my older systems (So now I freed up 2 more shelves for games.) and now no system is inconvenient to get to and they are all hooked up and plugged in. And I finally finished moving my GCN, Wii, and Wii U stuff to the loft. So the loft has GCN (w/GBP), Wii, Wii U, PSTV, the new 360 I acquired, Chromecast, and all of my handhelds.
I have about 7-8 shelves of free space right now. It's pretty fantastic.
I'll try to take pics after everything gets cleaned up. Still sorting controllers and stuff.

Nice. So is that organized by case style then alphabetically?
Originally I wanted to do that but while some thing that Genesis games can be easily sorted this way, it really cannot. The issues are because the spines are not really uniform. On the back/grid pattern boxes, there are 4 or 5 designs. On the red/caution boxes, there are 10 or more designs. The most obvious is the different color Genesis logo. If you look at my picture you will see some are white and some are silver. This is not a variation issue. Also some have white item numbers, some black. Some large font, some small. Some with T prefix, some not, some no item number at all. Then you have Tengen which has a horizontal red stripe.
EA boxes same issue. You think at first there is the two-tone (older) type boxes, then the white sports boxes, then the other type (like F-117A or Skitchin'). The white boxes are on their own are are fine. The two-tone boxes become an issue once you group them together, there are 4 or 5 different designs, even some cardboard box.
So really what I have in this picture (it is outdated already) is the games are grouped by a certain type but they are not in alphabetical order within that group. The black/grid boxes are grouped by spine design. The red plastic case and red cardboard box are grouped by publisher. The EA two-tone is by box design. Boxes with no common design are by publisher.

xnblank, I am referring to the fact your game cases can just slide off the side. Also a joke. :p
Oh. Haha. Yeah no rails here. :(
Post by: rayne315 on August 16, 2017, 11:30:39 am
It's the only shelf i have that I can put my games on. It's a lot sturdier than it looks, But i would like to get a book shelf or something to use instead.
hey I like it. im a big fan of floating shelves where you can not see any supports. also I need to stop being lazy and label my cords sort of how you did. it would make it a lot easier to plug in and play my systems. I currently have to turn my tv and reach behind my entertainment center and hope I grab the right cord.
I do see where tripredacus is coming from though. a game falling from that height can easily be broken.

I thought it would be a good idea considering all my A/V cables hook into my Elgato HD Capture Card. Let's me record the games but also play at the games intended resolution instead of my tv upscaling them to ugly 480i.

also looking at the pictures the new place is very much needed. the collection is amazing but I have to cringe a little at just the lack of space you have. shelves should not be placed right in front of other shelves. otherwise its set up very nicely.
also curiosity is getting to me. what are those PCB boards I see?

We are brothers from a different mother. I need to get my collection on here. Sega and SNK are my favs, but SNK had to take a backseat after my AES bit the dust. I can't pony up the cash for a new one right now. Still have my consolized MVS though. I prefer Sega. Perfect mix of arcade and console goodness.

Well, this is life in Japan in a nutshell... haha! But I totally agree with you. The moving came just in time. And if you think I don't have space for games anymore, you should see how crammed are my book shelves...
And answering to your question: the smaller PCB is an OG PS3's Blu-Ray controller board and the larger one is a Saturn's motherboard.

I prefer these kind of retail displays over DIY. I have a WoN cabinet myself.
I wish this one was labeled with something, it's just some generic case, but the bottom of it is black and big enough to put something there, so I just need to figure out what to do. Maybe I'll make a big perler bead logo of something to add on there since I make them and that could look pretty cool mounted to it.

*snip*Looking good ferraroso, well organized as well. Gotta love the Metal Heroes support, and don't think Shadow Moon or Black got passed me either ;)
How did you go about with the lighting on the console rack? Is it just led strips or something else? Thanks!
Post by: ferraroso on November 23, 2017, 08:14:55 pm
I notice yours (and some others) seem to have every console still plugged in. Do you actually make use of all of those? I used to do that and realized some of them I never really ever played so now the only one that stays plugged in is my PS4 and my SNES modded classic.
Well, to tell you the truth, I don't play video games that much. I play only around 2 or 3 hours per week at most, but when I do have the time to play, I like having them ready. If I had to go through the trouble of getting the cables and connecting them to the TV every time I want to play something, I'm sure that would end up not playing anything, haha. Also, I like the convenience of pressing only one or two buttons to show some old game to my friends when they are here.
Actually, the consoles that I play the least are the modern ones (I haven't used the PS4 for around two months, for instance...) In short, even though I don't play that much, most of what I play is retro stuff. With the expection of the Pippin and the N64 (which I despise, haha), I really do play all of them.

Yeah, they are just remote controlled led strips that I bought for less than US$20,00.

I hadn't noticed that at all (and actually had to google the meaning of pin-cushion, haha). Well, maybe I can try soving this in the TV settings, but it doesn't bother me at all.
Does it bother you guys so much?

I hadn't noticed at all either. I grew up with a fondness for magnets so im used to some pretty bad CRT pictures (yes I would always stick them to TV's to see the color distortions). I wouldn't have even classified that as an issue unless it moves the picture in and out while you played.

That's just a very minor example, not really noticable didn't see it at first
however it can get worse allot worse.
I can see where the name pin cushion is coming from

Great room, ignition365.Yeah, SNES and N64 games are in UGC, Genesis as well... though a lot of those are OG Genesis cases and not UGC.
SNES games are in Universal Game Cases too? I use them for SNES and N64.
I have another 40-ish SNES games in a box next to my computer waiting for art to exist.

What kind of shelf is that you have for the PS2 games?

Game room looks great Jahuty, like how condensed it is for the small space.
What kind of shelf is that you have for the PS2 games?
All my shelves are from a company called Atlantic. The quality of most of them is meh, but I guess their not too bad considering they've held up for about 5-years now and through several moves. The one with the PS2 games holds 1080 CDs I believe.

I've got the same shelving unit in a different color. Fair warning with them though, a few years back they changed the wood on them, creating a very noticeable drop in quality. I switched to a brand called Prepac, which while not as tall, are far more sturdy (or as sturdy as particle board gets you these days).

Same thing happened to me about a year ago. Best Buy had a really good sale on their medium sized shelves and bought two. I started assembling one and immediately noticed how much the quality had dropped and returned both. If I ever do need another shelf I will go with Prepac. The only thing that has kept me from Prepac is the price, but since they're higher quality it definitely sounds worth it.

Post by: rayne315 on October 29, 2018, 11:10:56 am
I've been satisfied with mine. My only qualm is that the footprint of the shelf is larger than the rest of the unit, so it leaves a gap when side by side. However, it makes it much more stable and sturdy, so it's a tradeoff there.
(https://i.imgur.com/sLPlV9C.jpg?1)
Well if you really like them and just want to fix it you could always just saw off the end bits to make them fit together better. they should be at the same level so you really shouldn't see any issues. if you do just black paint on the bottom portion and wood varnish on the top or just put items over it like you do now.
personally I like the way it looks. if that were my setup I would definitely find something that would fit perfectly between the gap there and fill it up with whatever it is. pops figures/amiibos/skylanders/rolled posters/etc

Last update I only had one of the big shelving units and I was pretty much out of space. I knew I needed a second unit up there, but didn't really know what to fill it with, was thinking about moving some other systems up there to help free space in the game room. Never did, so the bottom 2 shelves of those units are basically empty.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042139461615672/20200301_144535.jpg)
This area really hasn't changed, and you can see the dust accumulated due to that fact. It's in dire need of rearrangement. I might move the Virtual Boy stuff back over here at some point.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042157698449462/20200301_144600.jpg)
Last time, my modern stuff was relatively small so PS3 still had space in the living room. All modern systems grew to the point there just wasn't room for PS3 anymore. For a period PS3 was stored away in a storage closet (More on that later), but I finally moved them into the game room after I built an additional shelving unit. This pic, I believe, is about 815 PS2 games and 175 PS3 games.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042229035171933/20200301_145000.jpg)
The new shelf I built, this one was a bit of custom dimensions as the shelves are normally DVD sized, this one has 2 long box sized shelves and several jewel case sized shelves to maximize efficiency. One shelf in particular had to be an odd size because there is a door behind the unit, this was where the controller rack was hung in the last update (More on that later). You can see the differences as the Genesis unit is DVD sized.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042250048634887/20200301_145017.jpg)
Not much change here really.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042266020413447/20200301_145241.jpg)
I've since added a coffee table to raise up the Trinitron and that corner is largely being used for storage of one of my newer hobbies... statues and figures. Other than that, not much change here either. I'm still in a big reorganization mode, so the room in general is kind of a mess with things stacked in places.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042189302792211/20200301_144740.jpg)
Bonus pic to see the stack of statues and such.

Moved the controller rack to the main doorway of the room. Not much changes here other than the fact that I've boxed away a lot of unused and duplicate controllers, so now there is free space on the controller rack.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042206860017724/20200301_144859.jpg)
Main living room with modern stuff and my display case. As you can see, Switch at least has really exploded since last update. X1 has grown considerably as well as has X1BC titles. PS4 really hasn't grown that much considering. Display case hasn't really changed since last update, but I'm considering swapping stuff.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042303261638656/20200301_145553.jpg)
And finally the really old stuff and relatively unloved things. It used to be on the side of the storage closet so it was accessible, but I've since moved DVDs/BDs onto that shelf and I've since moved this stuff to the back of the storage closet so it's really inaccessible... as you can tell.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/446710142004625413/684042321448271872/20200301_144646.jpg)

I haven't shared anything in a while! I don't display very many games in my home. I just have this one shelf. I swap out the items in one of the cells once a month to keep things fresh. This is what it currently looks like.

This area really hasn't changed, and you can see the dust accumulated due to that fact. It's in dire need of rearrangement. I might move the Virtual Boy stuff back over here at some point.

Last time, my modern stuff was relatively small so PS3 still had space in the living room. All modern systems grew to the point there just wasn't room for PS3 anymore. For a period PS3 was stored away in a storage closet (More on that later), but I finally moved them into the game room after I built an additional shelving unit. This pic, I believe, is about 815 PS2 games and 175 PS3 games.

The new shelf I built, this one was a bit of custom dimensions as the shelves are normally DVD sized, this one has 2 long box sized shelves and several jewel case sized shelves to maximize efficiency. One shelf in particular had to be an odd size because there is a door behind the unit, this was where the controller rack was hung in the last update (More on that later). You can see the differences as the Genesis unit is DVD sized.

Not much change here really.

I've since added a coffee table to raise up the Trinitron and that corner is largely being used for storage of one of my newer hobbies... statues and figures. Other than that, not much change here either. I'm still in a big reorganization mode, so the room in general is kind of a mess with things stacked in places.

Bonus pic to see the stack of statues and such.

Moved the controller rack to the main doorway of the room. Not much changes here other than the fact that I've boxed away a lot of unused and duplicate controllers, so now there is free space on the controller rack.

Main living room with modern stuff and my display case. As you can see, Switch at least has really exploded since last update. X1 has grown considerably as well as has X1BC titles. PS4 really hasn't grown that much considering. Display case hasn't really changed since last update, but I'm considering swapping stuff.

And finally the really old stuff and relatively unloved things. It used to be on the side of the storage closet so it was accessible, but I've since moved DVDs/BDs onto that shelf and I've since moved this stuff to the back of the storage closet so it's really inaccessible... as you can tell.

Wow...that's massive! Impressive. (That's what she said.)
I just collect too much stuff to have that large of a game collection. My game collection is pretty much on par with my movie collection, and my comic collection is well over 5,000.

I painted all of my shelves so now they are black instead of wood colored. I boxed away all NES and older stuff. Roughly half of my SNES games are boxed away. Nintendo Wii/Wii U/GCN stuff are in my office now and handheld stuff is in my bedroom... we cleared out our loft for just books and my son's desktop.
I'm still sort of working on my office, Xbox One/Series stuff doesn't really have a good place right now, NS/PS4/PS5 stuff needs to be organized, SNES stuff needs to be alphabetized, and all of my CEs are boxed away too.
So I've still got work until I can bother to take pictures

You ain't the only one, boyo.
