So it's a lazy Saturday afternoon and I've wanted to do this for a long time. My wife and I have been living out of boxes for almost a year after taking a long time to sell our house, changing cities, and finally finding a place and settling in. My gaming room is pretty much my living room as our house isn't huge, my wife puts up with it as I keep it pretty clean and she has an office to work in.
This is my setup and collection, I've worked pretty hard on it for the past few years with a lot of searching in used shops and a lot of help from this awesome site. I am all about quality over quantity, I never buy a game just to add size to the collection, and anything that is somewhat marginal in my collection I usually got for free or paid under $5 for.
I am not really into collecting posters, figures, wall scrolls, guides, or any of the other stuff. I pretty much put all of my cash into GAMES and hardware...and I'm all about getting the cream of the crop for each system instead of trying to collect all games on one platform or something, which seems totally pointless to me. So here it is!
I apologize for the quality of the pics, my camera is pretty crappy. All the pics are thumbnails, click on them for the full size pics.
View from just behind the sweet spot. It's a bit dark, but the only way I could get the screen to look close to normal:
With the flash on, still kinda grainy:
A wider shot of the whole shebang:
Here is my rack of consoles, I keep one of each controller in the baskets on the side for easy access:
Closer view of my Neo Geo AES system, two component switchers, my Xbox 360, Japanese Panasonic Q, Japanese Turbo Duo-RX, and modded Xbox:
Trying to show what a cool piece of hardware the Q is, still kinda dark, sorry:
My modded PS1, standard PS2, SNES, N64, NES toaster, Sega Saturn, 3DO, Sega Genesis w/ Sega CD and 32X, Dreamcast, and my Neo Geo joysticks:
My audio/video gear, from top to bottom, my turntable, SACD changer, TiVo, region-free/PAL-to-NTSC DVD player, my regular DVD player, my 7.1 receiver, and an old relic I still use occasionally, my Laserdisc player:
My gaming PC. I don't do AS much PC gaming anymore, but it still gets some use and my machine gets the job done:
My console and handheld games. I keep my extra controllers and some loose carts in the plastic drawers, as well as my Taiko and Donky Konga controllers. You can see my SVS subwoofer nestled in the corner:
All of my handhelds (Turbo Express, Sega Nomad, Sega Game Gear w/ TV tuner, Neo Geo Pocket Color, N-Gage, Atari Lynx, GBA, Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, and GBA SP), my complete NES games, and the start of my complete SNES games:
My complete Sega Master System, Game Gear, and SNES games, also the start of my complete Genesis games:
The rest of my complete Genesis games, also my complete Nintendo 64 games:
My complete 3DO, Intellivision, and PSP games, and the start of my Xbox games:
Rest of my Xbox games, and the start of my Xbox 360 collection:
My Playstation 2 collection:
My DS games, my few Famicom Mini games, and the crown jewels of my Saturn collection:
My Gamecube collection, my longbox PS1 games, and the start of my Sega CD games:
The rest of my Sega CD games and the start of my Saturn collection:
The rest of my Saturn games, my small N-Gage collection, my Virtual Boy games, and my complete Neo Geo Pocket Color games:
My Neo Geo AES and MVS games and the start of my PS1 collection:
Rest of my PS1 collection, start of the Dreamcast games:
Rest of my Dreamcast games, my import Saturn games, my TG-16 games, and the start of my complete Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Gameboy Advance games:
Rest of my Gameboy Advance games:
Loose Genesis and SNES carts:
More loose carts:
Some of my boxes in a closet, I don't have room to display this stuff. My Virtual Boy is actually in the box as I don't have anywhere to leave it setup right now:
The start of my PC games collection:
More of my PC games:
The last of my PC games:
And for no good reason, my Quaker parrot, who probably wonders why the hell I'm always staring at that TV and making loud sounds come out of it. He's about 3 years old and has a pretty good vocabulary. Not pictured, my patient wife who puts up will all of this silliness:
Also not pictured in my bedroom system, my model 2 PS1 with LCD screen, my mini model 2 SNES, and my toploader NES.
That's it! Comments or questions are welcome.
