Nice collection, pip. I have that same Samsung Touch of Color LCD tv in my game room in a 46". Your receiver is better than mine as I have the Onkyo 607 in my main surround, but it works good enough.

Thanks, guys. I'll post up more pics once I get some more stuff out of storage/the garage.
Man, that's a nice set up. 
I wanna have a set up like that some day with a nice, wide shelves for all of my games and enough room for my surround sound (which is nowhere near as nice as yours).
You need a better camera though.. I can't make out any of your PS1 games.:lol:

I'll take some closer shots of my PS1 games when I take the other photos, so you can make out the PS1 titles. I think it's not so much my camera, but the resizing of the photos in photobucket.

Here are a couple of pics of the setup(s):
These are the consoles/PCs/sound system
Just the consoles and sound system set up
Just the PC set up
My AV tower with the Onkyo TX-NR809 receiver, my 60gb backwards compatible PS3, and my Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360 (hey, it was a great deal on Amazon Warehouse!)
These are most of my retro consoles. I still have a top loader NES and games in the garage that I need to make room for.
My TV, center speaker, Wii, and media player stuff.
That's my right surround speaker alongside my statues and some of the SDCC stuff I've accumulated over the years. They're sitting on some custom floating shelves my friend made for me. Can you tell I'm a comic book nerd? All my comics are in storage, and I'm hoping I can make some room for a comic library in the house soonish.
This is my left surround speaker by the media shelves.

Here are some pics of the games. I still have NES games, N64 boxes, Genesis boxes, GB, GBC, GBA, NGPC, Game Gear games in the garage/storage that I need to find room for.
These are the media shelves currently housing everything.
Some SNES boxes and PS3 special edition boxes
US Saturn games and some GBA games that I have with me
Big Box PS1 games and Little Big Planet 2 special edition with the Domo-kuns
The rest are just a mish mash of closer pictures of my games.

Here are some more pics of the stuff that I dug up.
Here are closer pics of my PS1 games that Vinny requested. Hopefully they're clear enough.
I found my NES top loader and a bin full of games. Gotta love Crash 'n the Boys Street Challenge. The games lying around are Super Dodge Ball, River City Ransom, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Manhattan Project.
Here are my regular GB and GBC games. I think I have more lying around somewhere in storage. All the boxes are definitely in storage.
I found this guy after I took the initial pic.
This is my GBA collection. All the boxes are in storage. I think I might have a game here or there that I haven't found, but this is most of it.
This is the Neo Geo Pocket Color collection. I played the hell out of it as you can tell by the condition of the system.
The rest of the pics are of most of the sticks I own. The rest I didn't feel like digging out. I love me some fighting games.

It's Dragon Ball Z Buu Yuu Retsuden, but like everybody else said, it was never released in the U.S. It's a Japanese release. It's a watered down version of the Super Butouden series on the Super Famicom.

[quote name='mars009']Pip how many of those have you gone through? I can't imagine the hours all that would require.[/QUOTE]
I have played through most if not all of the stuff through the 32-bit/Dreamcast/N64 era, since that took me through the end of high school. During the PS2/Xbox/GC era, I think I've played maybe through 30% of those games, and it just decreases from there. Careers fund the hobby, but they sure kill the free time.

Once I get all my stuff unpacked from my move, I'll take some pics of my collection, it's really nothing special..the oldest stuff I have now after a purge is PS2.
I like the boxed PC games though! I kept a few of mine, with the box - IIRC, Starcraft, Age of Empires II and a couple others I can't think of right now.

Steam is the big problem i have with collecting these games. It doesnt feel like i own the games any more and whenever Valve feels like it they could deactivate my account or something and then i can trash these boxes. Fortunately there are still many old pieces missing from a time before online-activation
[quote name='Vinny']Very nice collection. There are rarely any people who keep PC games with their original boxes.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. It doesnt surprise me, i´ve never seen boxes that big with any console game (except maybe collectors editions). If i run out of space we will have to move to a bigger place. Well, as long as i dont use as much space for my games and stuff as she does for her clothes alone she really cant complain
At least i got one extra closet i can use for my secondary collection (games i havent played and catalogued yet)

Also has the "RP" (rating pending) ESRB sticker on it. Definitely either a review copy or some sort of demo cartridge.

Nice, is that a Clay Fighter Sculpter's Cut I see next to it as well? I've got one myself, picked it up a while ago at Game Crazy because they had it priced the same as the regular edition ( less that $10 if I remember correctly). Anyway I thought I had sold it off on EBay a long time ago but I tore apart all my boxes of games and managed to find it.

The cart has gone up in value significantly in the past few weeks. Literally it was an $60-80 game and now it's going for $130+. The ones with better labels are selling for more.
The box and manual are ridiculously expensive as well.

Thought i'd finally post my current setup. I just moved back from after finishing university - so this is hopefully a temporary setup because I want to move into a place with my girlfriend and start working.
250GB Xbox 360
Logitech Z4 Speakers
Asus VH242H Gaming Monitor - 1080p, HDMI, 5MS (would like to upgrade to 27" eventually)
Apple Wireless Keyboard (US Lion version)
Gigabyte M6800 Mouse
iPhone 4 16GB with dock
2010 MacBook Pro 2.4GHZ, 8GB RAM, 250HDD
Logik LBD1000 Blu Ray Player
Muji Aluminum Pen Pot
It's not the greatest, but it gets the job done, and its nice a tidy. I normally use my Apple Magic Mouse but when I play steam I get this one out. Like I said upgrading the monitor to 27" and upgrading my MacBook Pro are the next things but won't be for a while yet.

Awesome game room!!
Awesome game room!!
I literally ran out of room this past weekend. I still plan on the total shelving overhaul, but this should help me get along until then.
Bye old oddball shelves and goofy storage area
New, big-ass slide out controller drawer. Just needs some dividers
New, shorter shelves so I can actually fit all of my consoles that aren't hooked up without having to pile them on top of each other.$
Just gotta build 2 more shelves tomorrow and it'll be good to go!
Also, $I recall a couple of folks being concerned that I was gonna tear out all the old wood shelving and toss it. $I've only used recycled materials so far. The wood is from what I tore out, the drawer pull is from a door on an unused pantry in the laundry room, and the slides are from $our old kitchen cabinets/drawers leftover from our remodeling 3 years ago. $I only tossed out one small plank of 1x8 because it split into a few unusable pieces when I pulled it out

i really like the shelving you made wiggyx
Thanks!
I'm gonna try and finish it up today. Need to install 2 more shelves and then see if I have enough plywood or MDF to place behind them (that hole is about 3 feet deep, and I really only need about 12" or so to fit the consoles). I think I may even add a little lighting. I've got gobs of LEDs and LED strips sitting around, may as well make use of em!
Man, where did all those dollar signs come from? I copied and pasted from the notepad on my phone and those all magically showed up it seems. WTF?!
