Wish I had the means for the above, we converted our attic space a couple of years ago and I got a room up there, thanks wife!, now I have a modest 29" CRT and a self built network of AV cables hooking pretty much everything up to it, so no swapping scarts!
My babies are mostly up there, although the Wii, PS3 and 360 are beside the main TV, a 37" HD LCD, i'm happy with that.

Now my collection contains the following, most regulars have read this before, but for the newbies, here it is....

Atari:
2600
7200
Lynx
Jaguar

Sega:
Master System
Megadrive
Megadrive II
32X
Sega Multimega
Gamegear
Saturn
Dreamcast

Nintendo:
Nes
Snes
N64
Gamecube
Wii
Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance SP
Gameboy Micro
DS
DS Lite
Virtual Boy
Pokemon Mini

Sony:
PSone
PS2
PS3
PSP

MicroSoft:
Xbox
Xbox 360

Others:
Panasonic 3DO FZ-1
NEC Turbografx
Samsung Nuon
MB Vectrex
Neo Geo Pocket
Neo Geo CD

Dragon 32
Nokia Ngage
Amiga 600
Sinclair Spectrum 16k
Sinclair Spectrum 48k



And that is that, at least so far, I have plenty of games for each, over 130 for the PS2 and over 100 for the PSone, everything I've ever wanted for the N64 and the only game worth having on the Nuon, Tempest 3000!

Still looking for an Amiga CD32 and a Colecovision, not to mention an Atari Pong/Super Pong machine.

Thats it as yet, I will, eventually post my games collection, but I reckon the hands you fall off with cramp, I have lots!

bungler

thank you for posting for me ( the newbie) thats a serious collection cider sounds like u have more than the brit lol

i wish i hadnt thrown out all my consoles when i got new ones

CiDeRmAn

I have to say, a game/console collection is only as good as the time spent playing them.
There isn't a bigger waste in this hooby than having some of the best games of all time and never going near them.
I reckon my stuff gets more play than most collections, but eventually you have little hope of returning to some games for more than a brief 5 minutes in a given year, never mind ever actually finishing anything.
It's a pity really, but then the point is, as I have mentioned before, that it's nice if someone, a mate if ever have one similarly obsessed, mentions a love for, say Goldeneye and I can produce the game, running on the original hardware, rekindling some of the magic and gaining some serious, if frankly nerdy, kudos in the process.

Most normal, logical people trade in the old to buy the new, thats the accepted way to go about gaming, the collecting of every console and game that catches your interest, with the best will in the world, thats weird!

Sorry for the "newbie", it wasn't directed at you bungler, I just pasted the list of machines from another recent post where it was in context.

And yes, I wish I had o1s1ns megadrive collection, I'd also like a more comprehensive Nes and Turbografx selection, but my Paypal account can only take so much!



What about some of the other obsessive compulsive game and console owners out there giving us there lists?

And the big, important question....

Do you keep cardboard Nintendo boxes?

That's exactly it It may be nerdy, but you can't beat the look on someones face when you produce a game they love which they haven't played since they were 9 years old. I think I may have seen a few tears...

:eek: what? serious? Most of mine are second hand, so there are no boxes. But the ones which do have boxes are stored away nicely. Actually, I had a lovely perfect condition NES console box in the attic. Really have to make sure that hasn't gone mouldy. Yes, I keep my console boxes. Don't ask...

Well, realistically, if he has all the time and money to buy twelve Plasma screens and play these games he must have very little social life outside of World of Warcraft

Ya well my e-peen is bigger then all of yours combined.

MooseJam

I have a PC and quite a few games stored in a bookcase woot

super_furry

I've four Dreamcasts - two unopened - with almost every single PAL release and a crap load of imports.

CiDeRmAn

Well I have just two machines, one for spares you know.
Also, well done on having all the PAL releases, I have a certain weakness for Incoming and Pen Pen Tri Icelon, not to mention Powerstone, that was a god of a game.

Now I don't really have too many imports, aside from Luigis Mansion, a bunch of stuff on the 3DO, Virtual Boy and TurboGrafx, best not discuss the Wii games collection, very hush hush!

I never liked the cardboard boxes for the Ninty stuff, although I still have the packaging for Zelda on the Snes and N64.
The Ninty boxes for the jap GameCube games were fantastic though, Biohazard, Mario Sunshine, Monkey Ball and Wave Race, all look better than their PAL counterparts.

I'll always regret selling my complete Super Metroid with guide book and box, I was younger and more foolish then....
