An absolute cracker of a collection Keith, I tip my hat!
Cheers, at one stage i had about 100 megadrive games too, but i sold em off when we needed some money for the wedding. regretting that now, the selling of megadrive games not the wedding
Sold my boxed gamegear too :rolleyes:
Ive a pile of otherstuff not seen there, including a load of media kits for games I got sent out for the website, some of them are really cool, the god of war 3 one is the best looking, its in one of the pics above. Plus who could forget my CIB Pink Princess Peach 3DS I wont off Club Nintendo haha..
Looking forward to seeing everyone elses collections! Get posting!:pac:0 -

Ok most would have seen pics of my collection, heck I built the room while maintaining a thread on it here.
Anyway, to keep things current here's some recent snaps of the lot, sorry about the lighting, its a room that doesn't lend itself well to be photo'd.
The main setup, tv's & consoles
Starting from the bottom left & working across. The Snes & Nes which are both NTSC-U. Mastersystem 2 which has a 60Hz switch
Saturn Model 2. This has region switches fitted & is chipped.
Working upwards now, the Panasonc 3DO FZ-1 {PAL
}, N64 which is NTSC-U. The Megadrive 1, Mega CD 1 & 32X which are all fully 60Hz & region modded too.
And then on the top of the left side of the setup, lies the Pc Engine Duo-R with is RGB modded & a Halo 3 edition 360 which is jtagged & instead of a dvd drive has a 1TB internal hdd. Oh a Spitfire & P51 also sit there too!
No moving on the right side of the console setup, these sit in the bottom left corner of it. The ill fated Atari Jaguar {PAL} & a very much modded Gamecube. It is chipped & has a 3rd party Viper shell to allow full sized discs.
Next again is a modded Dreamcast, it has the region free Bios. Moving up over that is the softmodded crystal edition Xbox & that wears an Atari 2600 Jr as a cap
Then to round off the shelved stuff, the Playstation 1 & Silver PS2. The PS1 is chipped & the PS2 is softmodded with an IDE hdd in the back of it.
Finally then sits the PC & the Wii U. I'll have to rearrange the setup somewhat & fit the Wii U in properly somewhere, but for now thats where it lives. I've moved the original Wii downstairs to the living room for Netflix reasons.
Everything showed above is running at 60Hz where possible, & RGB's where possible. Some have to use AV where there's no other option, & I have it split up with two 4 way scart splitters that support full RGB. The room has a 4 port gigabit switch for the consoles that need it, & it only takes a few seconds of switches & plugs to get from one console working to another.
On the right side as your looking into the attic from the door lie these shelves. I used to display all the handhelds here but space is such a premium in the room that I've had to pack them mostly away.
Screen & region modded Nomad, 3DS, DS & Gamegear.
Two cfw'd PSP's in replacement shells I got from Rewind Bits, & the Wii U Pad. An assortment of Lego Minifigs guard all this
An assortment of Lightguns, pads, & surround sound head set

Directly opposite those shelves, are these ones
Some Snes, N64, 32X & 2600 carts
Part of the 360 collection
Then on the back partition wall there's more stuff
I got this cool little Atari case thing off Infideals ages ago
And not to mention my still sealed Skyward Sword which I plan to retire off :rolleyes:
Thats basically it. Whats still packed away is stuff I basically don't have room for:
Commodore 64
Gameboy
Gameboy Colour
GBA
GBA SP
GBA Micro
Nintendo DS {phat original type}
Nintendo DSi XL {25th Anniversary Mario Edition}
My games section needs some serious work though.0 -

Nice, id love my attic converted like that, ill get around to it eventually! No pics of your cabs?
The outdoor shed needs a good tidying at this stage man, will have to save those for another day. Though only having two cabs, feels kinda pointless posting them after that museum quality display you have going on!Holy **** Enternow, that's some progress you've made with that. It's an Aladdin's cave! Looks amazing.
Cheers dude, its grand yeah...just too damned small 0 -

Whats the story with the two Electrocoins, Are they new additions to the family?
where did you get your greasy paws on them.
They were the staple cab in many arcade back in the day.
You are king amongst men man.....Animal cabs and a great collection.Fair play0 -

I dont really have many pics of my full retro setup. I seem to change it every month or two (replace one IKEA thing for another etc etc).
Here's a pic of one side of my man cave from a while back, things have changed a bit since then and you cant really see a lot from it.
I'll take some nice pics in a few weeks when I'm finished redecorating the whole room.
Here's my Candy cab (downstairs).
I'd love to display my games like a lot of people do here but its just no possible as after 20 years of collecting stuff (I didn't take up collecting, I've just been keeping stuff since I was a kid and adding to it
) there's just too much of it so the get stored in presses and things like that. 0 -
