I'd echo the same about the Duo-R. Love it.

Nice setup Erik - is that a FM Towns Marty in the first pic (below the top loader)?

Nice haul bro - and...how are you paying the rent this month?
I keep some money saved up too. :P

X'eye.

And unfortunately, my console collection now starts at 32-bit to current. Gotta get some 16-bit back in there sometime.

Here's my current game collection. Doesn't include LE packaging. I keep the games outside of the LE packaging so I'll less likely to tear any cardboard.

Crappy cell phone pic...

dayum man, looking pretty sharp!

How is Phantom Breaker? I've tried the demo and thought it was decent.

Your jp 360 collection puts mine to shame.

I think my cell phone camera gets worse every day, but I tried. There is my current setup... It's a bit messy. But what can one do with 9 consoles + BD player + laptop for one TV?

I basically buy too much stuff. :P

Invent some sort of space-time distortion device to fit more matter at one point.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

All consoles and my DVD/BD player are hooked up at the same time, of course. And I often use my TV as an external monitor for videos as well. :D

EDIT: Here are some pictures of my games, CDs, manga, anime, and an iMac G4. Not the most useful computer, but it looks so space age that I can't get rid of it. Pardon my messy room.

Some games are missing because I am currently playing them (The Legend of Xanadu, Phantasy Star IV, and The Typing of the Dead). And some anime is missing because I haven't put them back on my shelf (Evangelion 2.22 BD, Kannagi, Lucky Star, Moribito BD).

Will take out the better camera for much nicer pictures once I find the battery charger.

The pictures are a lot clearer. Too bad they don't sell white Xbox360 slims. They have white Japanese PS3s don't they though?

New toy obtained. 19" CRT monitor. Flat screen. 1600 x 1200 resolution. Perfect for tippin' sideways. Only 50 pounds so it's easy to change back when I'm playing a hori or non shmup. This will be mainly used with MAME, J360, and Dreamcast. :)

My 360 VGA cable just came in today. Still waiting on the proper adapter to hook up the audio for it. Shmups look and feel so much better on here. My 47" LCD looks great for HD games, but the CRT looks far better for shmups and older games. Plus playing verts on a widescreen TV that isn't in tate looks pretty stupid anyway. The picture is only about 1/3 or less of the screen... D:

So satisfied with this.

I want some new PC shmups that take advantage of rotating 16:9 monitors.
Older. Not wiser.
