Classic Video Games / Re: Throwing away infected classic consoles

I once got a 2600 from a flea market.  When I got it home I couldn't get it to work.  I took it apart I found a few dead roaches along with a lot of dirt.  The roaches looked like they died a long time ago.  I cleaned everything up, and to my amazement, it powered on and worked great.

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.

I get asked about the stands a lot, so a while back I threw together this video about them:

I don't know the library that well, but I have played through both Otogi games.  I strongly recommend those, especially if you like to "wreck" stuff in the scenery.

I have two Dreamcasts, one is loud, the other is not.  By loud, I mean the sound of the machine turning the disc.  I wonder why there's so much of a difference.  Probably different hardware models.

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.
