i used to have a designated area for my games but now everything is carefully tucked away but still readily accessible.
here is a list of games i have.

>>323254325
>implying that isnt a godly collection
>>323253540
tbqh, owning a dozen gameboys seems a little excessive
>>323254592
>>323253540
Yeah, cool collection, but if you're going to buy a shitton of Gameboys and FOUR fucking N64s at least display them a little nicer
>>323254469

What a great soundtrack.

Keep your head up high anon. You have a man cave!
>>323253540
What are those consoles on the left?
>>323253540
>storing N64 games on their side like that so that you have to flip through 20 different grey carts to find the one you're looking for
>>323254925
NES, SNES, N64

>>323254592
>cables
>fucking EVERYWHERE
It is a pretty nice console selection though.
Shit is dirty as fuck.
>>323253943
but there's an atari, genesis, master system, and ps1 in it
>>323254592
>Starkist Tuna
Not Elder-Got tier Bumblebee Tuna
>>323253943
>nobody ever has a Magnavox Odyssey
If only my faggot brother didn't sell basically everything I didn't have directly in my possession for alcohol.
>>323253540
>putting that much dedication into collecting video games but not at the very least using a better video signal than fucking composite
I don't understand this shit. If someone cares that much about retro games, the very least they should do is put in some minimal effort to get better cables. Someone going all-out should get a PVM as well, but even with a consumer TV, jesus christ get an RGB-component transcoder or something. Or s-video at least.
>>323253540
>>323254157
>>323254441
>>323254592
why do you all have the same TV
>>323255252
Because it's widely available for a somewhat reasonable price and is really, really good for 6th gen and earlier consoles.
>in my room as a kid
>just brought a shitty ancient TV from my grandfather's room
>plugged in my psx
>play worms armageddon with my brother
I'll never be able to recapture that comfy as all fucks feeling, probably because it was the first time I could play whenever I wanted without asking my parents' permission to use the tv. And it was in my room so no one bothered me.
>>323255252
It's the same person.
>>323255114
the second row of tuna is bumblebee.
Albacore, because chunk light is for plebs
>>323255007
I consider it pretty tidy for what it is. How else are you supposed to deal with cords from 6 different systems all together?
>>323253540
I want that room.
>>323255434
Have them going behind your shelves to an input switcher instead of going down the front?
>>323253540
I don't know what you're talking about; my 360 and Bone games line up just as nicely.
>>323255252
They're not the same TV. But they're all trinitrons from the early 2000s. They're by far some of the most common CRTs out there, and the quality is good for consumer stuff.
>>323255516
The only cables going in the front are the genesis controller and one loose cable from the switchbox. The others are actually behind the shelves, it's just an optical illusion.
>>323255434
>Albacore
My nigga
>Multiple n64s
I guess thats okay if you plan on using them for parts and got a good deal on all of them
>all those game boys
I guess bundles on ebay? I'd hope because thats retarded
>no sega saturn
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>323255704
Ooh. I guess it's really hard to tell with the lighting.
I'm sorry, anon!
>basically only nintendo, doesn't have any diversity
>looks like only has a n64 hooked up and displaying the nes and snes like fucking show pieces not game systems
disgusting
>>323255252
the display quality is quite solid with sony trinitrons
even makes this composite input look decent enough
Aww yeah, boys.
>want to buy a Super Nintendo
>look on ebay
>top fucking kek at those prices
>even ones that are yellowed and crumbling apart and smeared in shit and cigarette ash go for big sums of money
>fuck this shit
>check out super famicoms instead
>they all cost half as much even with shipping from japan included, come with bundled (good) games, controllers, cables, etc and are in pristine condition with no yellowing
>mfw
Same goes with the jap games too. That game you want that costs 40 bucks in america is like 5 bucks in japan. Good thing I don't like JRPGs and other text-heavy games.
>>323254042
>20 inch PVM
mad jelly
>>323255968
True that. I might end up becoming a CRT hoarder at this point. My dad has a 480p-capable CRT that looks fucking amazing with wii component cables.
And I'm forever on the lookout for a PVM. I don't trust ebay and I don't want to spend 100 bucks on shipping either. One of these days I'll end up finding one in my area...
>>323256210
the japanese know how to treat their consoles, and theyre usually not some alcoholic selling some shit from the closet to buy beer
>>323255943
quite funny you're bashing on the game industry that made the modern game industry revolutionize with their breakthrough technology
>>323256591
>the japanese know how to treat their consoles
Bullshit. They still hand them over to kids, leave them in the sun and smoke heavily around them.
>>323256632
>NES was weaker than the Master System
>SNES was weaker than the Neo Geo
>N64 was marginally more powerful than the PSX, but had inferior sound and bullshit textures due to Nintendo's insistence on remaining with carts
>Gamecube was inferior to Xbox
>Wii was inferior to everything
>and so was the Wii U
>>323256758
Well m8 I must be lucky, every japanese console I've bought has been pretty clean with the exception of my famicom which was covered in stickers 80s stickers, which I thought was neat and left on
>>323256210
I think the yellowing of NTSC SNESes is because of the plastic that was used, not mistreatment.
>>323253540
>4 N64's
>like a million GBs
okay but why? I get it if it's like an aesthetic thing but why are they all just out
>>323256953
>tfw I missed out on buying a physical copy of Yoshi's Island for $50
>as well as a copy of Super Mario All-Stars and A Link to the Past for $70 (together, not each)
>>323253540
>multiple gameboys and N64
For what purpose
>>323257106
>tfw found a copy of Super Mario RPG, Super Mario All-Stars, Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Country for $3 each
>>323256941
SFCs can yellow too. See >>323256758
And that's really besides the point. The point I was making was that in america, these ebay sellers try to peddle the most beat-to-shit consoles in existence and charge top dollar at the same time. It contrasts with the japs, who sell pristine consoles for far less and with far more extras included.
>>323256210
>get into buying ps1 games lately since i prefer owning physical copies of games
>"Used - Very good"
>missing manuals, cracked cases, stains on manual/inserts, scratched discs galore
>even listing just the discs on their own as 'very good'
GOD DAMN IT IF IT'S MISSING SHIT IT'S NOT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION HOLY SHIT
>>323257359
I wasn't disagreeing. I do get angry at people who think a dinged up cart with half the game label ripped off should be sold for what a boxed copy in very good condition is sold for.
Those people can eat shit.
>>323256137
I mean, I've seen worse (that pic of the Game n Watches in the dump comes to mind) but GODDAMN WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
>got my NES and all my games for free back in the mid 90s because my dad's coworker was throwing shit away

>>323257910
Retro game prices are such fucking bullshit I just started buying flashcarts (also overpriced but still an improvement).
>>323253687
same
pros: I have a shitload of room for my guitars
cons: I still don't have any room because I have so many fucking guitars
>>323256632
I didn't mean to give that feeling, I fucking love nintendo. You can even call me a fucking hipster if you want, I paid $200 for a earthbound cart. All I meant is that he should try to have more diversity in his collection.
>>323258964
>$200
Nigga I bought a mother 2 cart for $20 in Japan, you just wasting money.
>>323258697
>Castlevania 64
I actually really liked that game. Guess I just have shit taste.
>>323258697
>>323258852
I could buy flashcarts and all for other games too, but it still pisses me off with that game in particular.
When I see overpriced copies of say Demon's Crest or Wild Guns, I think to myself "oh yeah, they must have seen it on a video of EPIC HIDDEN GEMS or some shit" and let it be.
But FUCKING Kirby's Dreamland 3? Every time I see reviews of that game, it gets compared to Super Star, rated 4/10 and tossed aside. Yet it's more expensive than buying a physical copy of Super Star. What the fuck, mang.
>>323258964
I don't speak moonruins, I felt it was worth it. It might be my favorite game of all time.
A few years ago I found a Mega Drive and about 20 SMS/MD mixed games in a box near the dumpster. I picked it up and brought it home.
I always wanted to sell that stuff or something, but never got around to it.
Then one day I wanted to clear some room so I brought the box back where I had originally found it.
>>323258852
Too be fair, they're pricey because it's one guy in ukraine making them out of his house like some 19th century cottage industry.
But they are absolutely worth it. I bought one for SNES and just bought cheap japanese versions of games like yoshi's island and starfox that aren't compatible because of chips. Cost me some money up front, but THAT'S IT. Done. No more needing to hunt and peck.
The only time I'll buy games for a console is if I already have a decent amount from when that console is current, and I just want to supplement what I already bought. But if I'm just picking up a new console, first thing I'm doing is getting a flashcart.
>>323256758
>leave them in the sun and smoke heavily around them
Fucking this. I swear half the import games I own are stained yellow with the label faded.
The blank, non-existent feeling of nostalgia?
>>323259191
Shitters who have to compare it to another game. I don't know if you want a physical snes copy but if you really want to play dreamland 3 maybe get the dream collection? I believe it goes for about $40 and it comes with other games and extras. Dreamland 3 is rough, the only copy I ever found was at a flea market for $60. Good luck hunting.
>>323259325
Fuck meant for>>323259067
>>323259191
Probably because it has a special chip that can't be emulated on a flashcart.
>>323259626
I imagine vintage gamers getting packages in the mail of some shitty obscure game they paid $100+ for. saying "yaaaaaaaaay" in a really gay way out loud to themselves, and then sobbing because they have no one around them to show off their collection
>>323258954
I'm thinking of wall mount my guitars and bass, maybe it'll clear some room.
Fuck collecting plastic though, I'm all about the games not the boxes and cartridges and geeky stuff and the nerdcred and I had an snes back in the day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYi1i02CrvY
>>323259636
>maybe get the dream collection?
That would imply I have a Wii. Then again, I remember once stating it's cheaper to buy a DS and DS Chrono Trigger than buying the SNES cart and ended doing just that, so might as well.
>>323259813
>Probably because it has a special chip that can't be emulated on a flashcart.
Holy shit, you're right! Isn't that chip responsible for that pastel colored look I love so much?
>>323260403
>Kirby's Dream Land 3 uses a mode of the SNES termed "pseudo high-resolution" (which allows for color blending between two adjacent pixels) to blend dithered sprites
>The cartridge also takes advantage of SA-1 technology to process game data at a faster rate, which was necessary for the large number of bitmaps and special effects used by faster releases.
Looks like it.
>>323256758
it's cute, isn't it?
>>323256210
>Wishing to start collecting consoles and rebuy all the classic ones I had to sell to buy the new ones each generation
>Realize collecting become a hobbie by itself and you stop caring about playing them games
>Just bought pic related for my softmodded Wii and a N64, plug both on my CTR and I was good to go.
Serously is the same shit, snes and nes emulation in Wii is flawless and this thing doesnt
have input lag.
Im just missing a GENESIS but fuck it, I also have a gayman PC for all the other shit after gen 4.

>>323253540
Nobody needs that many game boys. They're basically trash. Games are gud but why hurt your hands and eyes on the original when you can emulate?
>>323265780
I regret not doing more PC gaming when I was younger. I started with ports of Ecco the Dolphin and Comix Zone, and played a ton of SimCity. SimCity was my life. Our family windows 95 and later 98 were decebt, our Internet was garbage though so no quake, ut, half life or counter strike.
