My small game room and collection.

Post by floattube »

Image

The full setup on my entertainment center.

Image
Nintendo games. NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube.

Image
All my carts. Not many, sadly :\

Image

Gamecube games. Kirby Airride is in the generic case...

Image
The bottom cabinets of my entertainment center. On the right I store controllers, on the left are PC, XBox, and XBox 360 games. CD's are also stored in here.

Image
Self explanatory.
Fatal Frame 2 is director's cut, probably the rarest game I own. (which isn't saying much)

Image
The controller bin.

Image
I like to wrap my cords like so, easy to do and undo.

Image
In a drawer, very dark. Sorry.

Memory Cards, e-Reader, XBox 360 controllers kept in here. Wavebird too.

Image
Disc based consoles.

Image
Everything except N64 and Dreamcast are hooked up here. N64 is composite (it's my least played console) and Dreamcast is AV2. The Turtle Beach Headsets work for all the consoles plugged into this box.

That's it. I plan to expand later, but right now I am content.

I take it you used a celphone camera right?

The quality of pics isnt too great.

but hey, we all gotta start somewhere.

You have lots of room to grow on and add more stuff.

Only have 2 cameras, my iPod Touch and Cellphone. Cellphone one by a lot...

I'm only 14 with no income so I can rarely purchase anything to add to my collection. My NES with those 4 games was only 5 bucks. I'm trying to build though! As fast as I can, at least.

Tips for better pictures. Turn on more lights! If you don't have a tripod, that's ok. Prop your elbows on a chair, or even use a broom to steady your hand. :)

Looks like a neat and tidy collection so far. We just need to be able to see it better. = ]

I actually used more lights for these pictures. I suppose I just need a better camera then, lol.

Thanks for the compliments, I try to keep it as tidy as I can.

I started collecting when I was probably 16 with my only income being an allowance (the fact that my mom gave me $50 every two weeks helped me build my collection). Actually, that has remained my only income since I just started my first job today, but that's not the point. The point was originally supposed to be that a lot of patience and a little luck will get you a large collection for a small price, and this forum is the BEST place to make that happen. Well, this and eBay, haha. I've gotten some incredibly great deals here, and if you've got duplicates or something you don't want anymore, you can usually find someone to trade with. Heck, I had a broken Sega 32x that I even managed to trade; Harper wanted to tinker with it in hopes of finding the problem and fixing it, so I traded it for two NES games. A month or two ago, I got a copy of Seaman with the mic for $25 shipped. Stalk the B/S/T forum, and I promise, you'll find some games you want to add to your collection for lower prices than you could find anywhere else on the Internet.

For being so young with no income, I'd say you have a nice collection going for you. As for the picture quality, I can definitely empathize; I used my cell phone to take the pictures in my game room thread, and it took a lot of trial and error to get the lighting good enough.

I would like to trade games but I don't think my parents would like me sending games off to a complete stranger or giving away our address, thanks for the tips though!

I started collecting at your age, your collection reminds me alot of my early collection! :wink:

Nice array of consoles you have there, keep it up! :D

Do you have any older brothers/cousins/peers which you got your consoles from?

I've had the N64 since I was very little, and the GameCube a little later. My grandma gave me my SNES because I had enough money saved for Earthbound (50 bucks at the time.) I went to the store to buy it the next day and it was gone. Got to keep the SNES though, obviously.

Bought the NES and the games for 5 dollars total. Dreamcast was $20.
