mjmjr25's Gameroom - Walkthrough of Lower Level (pics) 2.14

Your Saturn collection is basically a perfect collection. I don't see any game in there that is less than excellent.

After Hobie told me my room had no organization or flow, I decided it was time to organize things a bit better.

Added 7 pics to the OP...

Dood, your shelving is primo. I assume you made the unit yourself?

Heh, I see some clumps of order in the Neo Geo boxes now.

How did I not check this thread out before???????

Yes, when we moved into this home it was a 2-bedroom split level. The entire downstairs was an open area w/concrete floors and concrete block walls.

There were 2 support beams and a chimney / wood stove to be incorporated, but a relatively open palette. Hindsight 20-20, I would have made the corner unit a bit more even (a little too deep and angled for my tastes).

There is a ton of built-ins and woodwork, particularly in my wife's sewing room and my daughter's bedroom. We made a conscious decision when budgeting to use straight up construction lumber for the built-ins in in the bathroom and family room. It turned out pretty nice considering, not too many regrets.

You should have none at all, IMO it turned out particularly well.

I've been focusing more on collection particular stuff lately as I have plenty of shooties to occupy my gaming time.

I'm trying to get IB on all my SNES/N64 loosies.

I still need a few SNES carts as well, so that is the focus. Carts I need, and IB's for carts I already have.

Today was a pretty good haul.

Mega Man X - IB 8/10 condition
Super Adventure Island - IB 7/10 condition
King of Dragons - cart 9/10 condition
Super Bonk - IB 9/10 condition
Contra III Alien Wars - IB 9/10 condition
Castlevania Dracula X - I 7/10, B 3/10*

I knew the Drac X box was in pretty rough shape. I typically don't like any sort of "repairs" to boxes since you can't undo a repair, however, in this case, it had to be done.

I used accurate colored sharpies to repair creases and scratches. I used clear tape on one one of the box. I "built-up" the white insert to make the box buff out a bit as it was really sunken in at the middle. Then I put it into a VGBP. I think it could probably pass as a 7/10 on the shelf, and maybe a 5/10 overall, a vast improvement from where it was.

Sweet gets, man. King of Dragons is good stuff, had it when I was a kid.

You just now got Dracula X ?!!?

[mjmjr25]

Had the cart for a good while, just got the Box and Manual today.
