Scarper's Simple Setup (Collection does not begin with S)

Post by scarper »

Hey Racket-people!! Now that I have finally returned home from summer craziness, I can show you guys my setup and collection. Since I'm a senior in high school, living with my parents and all, I am limited to a small corner in my room. Simplicity and floor space organization has been key in keeping a comfy bedroom.

There's that corner. A VGA monitor sits on top of two bookcases. It is hooked up to a VGA Box, which has four composite inputs and one vga input. The Dreamcast is hooked up via VGA (which looks fantastic btw. Totally worth it) along with it's standard composite chord ready to use incase of the few games that are incompatible with vga. A modded PSOne and a modded white Japanese Saturn are also plugged into the VGA Box. I burn my games for all three of these. The chair is the same one I use for my computer desk, to prevent clutter. I also have two DDR mats which I forgot to take pictures of (which work great considering the TV's position off the ground.)

There's the Saturn, sitting next to a model 2 controller and its ASCIIWare (AssKickingWare) fighting stick (It's way better than the Virtua Stick IMO.)
Image

There's my handheld existence. A black and Blue DS Lite, a Japanese Famicom Edition Game Boy Advance Micro, and a Game Boy Color with a DDR attachment (showing more of my love for DDR.) I used to use flash carts, but those got glitchy and annoying. I also find collecting the cartridges extraordinarily fun. For some reason, it feels a lot better than collecting CD's. I guess cartridges feel more like games to me.

My ever growing Game Boy/Game Boy Color collection. Everything you see in this photo was accumulated in under two months. I can't wait to see what it will look like a year from now. I apologize for the terrible photo quality, so here's a complete list of what you probably cannot see!! :D http://backloggery.com/games.php?user=s ... onsole=GBC

My humble DS collection. I collect for it casually:

I keep my N64 inside this nifty briefcase, because I take it to friends houses a lot. I almost only use it for multiplayer. I airbrushed the console dark purple.

Here's part of my wall. A lot of these posters came from games, some were printed, some drawn by Chloe. I am not Chloe.

PS. I never knew that DDR existed for the Gameboy!

Thanks!! It definitely feels nice. I just like the way older games work, they tend to have more game in them than most modern games do. I guess its difficult to explain why I got into retro gaming. It wasn't the charm and it clearly has nothing to do with nostalgia. I just like them. They're more fun than 95% of the modern games I've played.

DDR for the Game Boy was a strange find. I don't know if its rare by any means, since there are four installments. They were only released in Japan, and barely pop up on eBay, however, they go for less than $20 boxed. I got this for $15, and its way better than I had expected. I even caught myself singing along to some of the chiptune-ized versions of common DDR songs. Very well designed.
