Anyone out there with photos of their collections?

Hygro

I've got a 6 button arcade cabinet at my parents house (no room in my house for it at the moment, and I don't think my girlfriend wants it here anyway!) and I've got the following (Jamma board) games for it:

Spider-Man, Superman, Snow Bros, Puzz Loop, Double Dragon (well when I bought it it was broken, which I wasn't told, you can't really trust ebay sellers, so it should really be called Single Dragon, cos you can only pay with player 1 cos player 2 keep walking into the corner by himself!!) Vendetta, Street Smart and Street Fighter 2.

In my house I've got the following;

Super Gun (if you don't know what it is, then look here http://www.ravengames.co.uk/super.htm)

Two modifed Dreamcast Arcade Sticks.

Neo Geo MVS slot (which allows you to play Neo Geo cartidges on the Super Gun)

5 Neo Geo games (Metal Slug, Blazing Star, King of Fighters 99, Shock Trooper, Sonic Wings 3).

I'm actually selling everything I've mentioned in this post.

Here's the pics of the stuff I've got at my house:

Nice collections lads, especially loved Retr0gamer's wire tangle picture. Brought back memories of when I had the space to have one. Most of my stuff is living in suitcases at the moment, waiting for the big lotto win to add a gaming wing to the house. Keep up the good work.:D

No disrespect to yourself but I was complementing the posters who bothered to photograph their setups. This subject was brought up earlier today on another thread, I think Retrogamer mentioned he had some of his collection up so I fancied a look.
Have you any photographs of your own collection on the site? I find it intresting looking at different setups,

ghostchant

There's a longer/more recent one somewhere, would be a good few pages back now though.

Dark Savior

Dark Savior and ghostchant thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I stuck a few pictures up to get the ball rolling.:D

Optimus Prime

Not much of a collection yet so its more a few photos of my office than anything!

Jack burton

pretty nice dude

Andrew76

Nice and neat, I like it.

Optimus Prime

its gas but some of those console when i got them where absolute filth, you wouldnt believe the dirt that came off them. its amazing what taking them apart and giving them a good clean can do for them.

CiDeRmAn

I love the picture of the Serenity on the wall, remember the valley browncoats!
I'd love to get some art like that on my gamesroom wall, and take down my beloved though nerd symptomatic Escher prints!

Optimus Prime

That only cost me 20 quid delivered 8 A3 pictures, i stuck it in some clip frames i got and put it up on the wall.

Wow! Great collection! Any way I can get you to part with PDS?

Ironically enough, by saying 'Rarely talk about what crap i have due to attention reasons', and from seeing what's in your collection, you've made me think I know who you are...

Here's the interesting thing though - if someone were to break into your house, they'd completely bypass your retro collection as they'd think it's all just old junk. So you can rest easy in the knowledge that the vast majority of theives are too stupid to know what this stuff is worth

Atavan-Halen

Ok lots of pics seeing as my room is reasonably tidy

First off the consoles:



Fat PS2, Slim PS2, Gamecubes, Dreamcast, Saturn and Pikachu!



SNES, Xbox, Genesis, PS1's, Model 1 Megadrive



Master system 2 and a couble of Megadrive model 2's

Games:



Dreamcast, PS1 and PS2



Megadrive, Gamecube and Forza 3



Wii, Xbox, SNES, PSP, 1080 Snowboarding on the N64 an N-GAGE Game and some memory card and other bits.



PS3, N64, loose Megadrive and Master system (behind the N64) carts, Saturn (There's christmas nights hidden between soul bubbles and band hero in a cd case), DS and a few GBA games.




360 Games.

Boxes:



There's a megadrive box hidden behind the Genesis box at the end! Also missing a boxed gameboy as well.

The setup:



I felt the modern consoles looked better there with the tv and all. Gameboy carts on the right.

And Pokémon (and other random bits) corner:



There's a space channel 5 car there. Also have a shinobi one somewhere and the collection of crazy taxi cars.

So that's the majority of my stuff. I have a big box full of more games and my handhelds are nicely hidden but readily accessible. I'm fairly happy with it as most of it was built up from "in the wild" purchases rather than ebay. I've only bought things from ebay about 10 times I think (based on my feedback :P) Still missing some of the essential games and consoles but it'll do for now!

One day my stuff will be tidy enough to photograph - that day is not today.

Atavan - your tidiness is genuinely impressive! My house / room basically just has games wherever they'll fit :pac:

Retr0gamer

I didn't realise home many games I had until I visited the attic and realised I've 4 crates full of them. Not much retro stuff unfortunately.

Atavan-Halen

I'm a bit OCD at times about my games

Did ya not say before you've got all the MD Konami games? I'd love to see a photo of that.

CiDeRmAn

Some lovely things being posted here, I think most have seen my stuff already, no point in boring all again.
It is nice and tidy now though.

Most of them but 2 don't work since they were straight off the assembly line and not tested. Castlevania doesn't work but I have another copy of that and Lethal Enforcers doesn't work. I got the games around 1994 so I don't have some games that were out of print around that time like Sunset Riders, Turtles etc. Also some one stole my ISS Deluxe So it's not actually complete and with how bad my friends were with boxes when I lent them out I's say some are cartidge only at this stage. I've got a decent PS1 collection and a N64 collection which has almost every game I consider worth playing on it, only 3 missing. My PS2 and GC collections are great but they're not exactly retro. So yeah for a retro gamer I've not exactly got much

SirLemonhead

Some of my stuff

CiDeRmAn

Nice, very nice.
I often wish I had bought the ID boxed set from a couple of years ago.
I remember seeing it in GS and wanting it but something shiny distracted me
Damn my chimeric magpie genes!

I had Shogo too! Loved that game!

What's Killing Moon? The cover art looks very LA Noire and thus peaked my interest.

That looks sort-of LA Noire-ish! I MUST have it! Thanks for the link.

I've never actually played it - it's my sisters copy that I have. I sorta inherited stuff like that and Broken Sword 2 from her. It'd be rotting in a dump long ago if I didn't take it :pac:

johnny_ultimate

Started putting my collection in order there, first up, portables!



Nothing super rare, but nice to finally have it all in one place. Alas, my parents were always the sort to get confused when I held onto them. However, the bag on the left contains most of the manuals since I wasn't willing to let them go. I also recall now that my mother donated my GBC and Pokemon Red to a young cousin - must check to see if he's finished with 'em! Also missing is Beatmania Wonderswan minus the decks that I couldn't be arsed tracking down.

Some great random pieces of crap in there: had another go of Alone in the Dark GBC - beyond bad!

Achievement Unlocked:
Had space to store that amount of large pc game boxes in great condition for nearly 20years.

johnny_ultimate

Right, so did a bit of organising and took some pics while doing it. You'll notice that as time moves on, and I get more sense / money, the quality of games tends to improve :pac:

Megadrive (yeah, I have a boxed Flickie's Island, I know you're jealous):



PS1 (highlights include the entire Spyro trilogy):



Xbox (too many budget boxes here, but I dig my Panzer Dragoon!):



Gamecube:



PS2 (actually surprised how many PS2 games I have!):



More PS2:



And since it's technically retroish now, DS:

Some very nice games there Mr. Ultimate!

Even if ciderman is unaroused by your duvet and lack of soft focus :P

Still missing a lot of titles but I'll get there!

Sunlight is doing harmful things to my collection so it has been boxed up and put into storage until I can organise a dedicated space for it. Here's a few pics I took last night.

Final Fantasy Collection:


Next is Tomb Raider (note I will not entertain comments with the words "aged" and "badly" in reply to this )


Playstation One:


And finally two statues I have:


My SNES & Genesis collection is too small to talk about so that's all for now folks.

Pyongyang

@johnny_ultimate What's that Gundam DS game? And the cheeky looking PS2 games that have suspiciously SHMUP-esque cover art?

I love that Wonderswan Crystal, nearly bought one recently but had to say no!

Retr0gamer

The only shmup there in that collection is the glorious Gradius V, amust for all PS2 owners.

Yup saw that, have been scouring a copy for a good price but it can wait just a tiny bit longer...just!

I did pick up another SHMUP today in my 'Great Extortionate Postage To Ireland Avoidance Scheme 2011'. However you can all wait for that one. It's a bit of a beaut, so long as it arrives with all the bits the seller claims it has.

I'll leave you guessing...
