Raiiban's Game Room (8/7 Update: Living Room setup)

[Raiiban]

I saw the Panzer shrine when it was listed and debated it myself. That graded PDS probably covers the whole buy-in cost, but in the end I just wasn't personally enough of a fan of the series to warrant it. Glad to see it went to someone who is going to keep it the way it is and not piece out and flip.

About yr modded Agetec - did you do it? If so, I have some questions about the paint job, overlay, and the modification in general.

Yeah, I'm not sure just how much the graded games would be worth anyway, barring Orta they're not 80's or 90's which is where I think most serious collectors would shoot for. I feel bad about a copy of Saga being off the market and unplayable like this since I usually collect to play instead of showcase but I seriously just fell in love with it while it was listed.

As for the Agetec, yes I did mod that one myself a few years back, its paint job is a bit sloppy since it was my first time ever attempting something like that but I'd be happy to answer any questions if I can.

Going to ask, cause i always ask, whats your source for reproduction carts?

I used http://www.gamereproductions.com for all the repro games in my collection, they back up their repros with a lifetime warranty which I would hope they honor if something should ever happen with one of these.

I seems like every gaming room has a Sony Triniton! Love all the custom cases by the way.

Those Trintrons are tanks! Great consumer-grade quality too.

You use the Cover Project obviously, do you also use http://www.mediashelving.com and buy the carton of 100 UGC's? and how do you do your printing, do you just buy legal sized paper and print them yourself or go through Staples or Office Max?

Yes, I actually just put in for a quote for another 100 UGC's from that site the other day, I've got some games that need cases and I ran out a while back. Cover Project is obvious yeah, I use their already made cover images and the templates for when they don't have a cover for the game I want.

As for the printing, I go to Staples and use their Xerox printers there on High Gloss legal size paper, the last time I had any done was probably last summer and they cost about 48 cents a page, it's probably a bit more now. After that it's just a matter of using a cheap paper trimmer and sliding the covers in the case. Honestly it's a boring process, especially if you're making the covers yourself, but the end result is nice and it keeps dust away from your carts.

I love the setup and how precise your collection is. Each game seems hand picked for the collection and it is clean. Despite all this, you need a non-yellowed SNES! It is the wart of the nice consoles down there hahaha.

Hazerd, another good place for repros is http://www.timewalkgames.com/ and http://www.lostclassicvgs.com/

That SNES was the very first thing I bought with my own saved up money as a kid, It's got a crazy amount of sentimental value to me. Same with my original Genesis but for different reasons. I do keep meaning to try and make up a batch of the gel or solution I've heard about before (retro bright I think it's called?) to try and restore it but I keep forgetting about it or getting paranoid I'll mess up the case further.

If anybody has any tips or success stories with restoring SNES cases let me know, because I'm definitely interested, just apprehensive.

I can appreciate that, as I have a few items like that.

I'm really impressed. Nice collection.

N64 time! ...There really isn't much to showcase here. The N64 has been a long neglected part of my collection, if you've seen the picture of my main rooms shelving then you'll have probably noticed there's only a tiny little N64 collection placed there like an afterthought.

I do want to expand my N64 collection but the system has never thrilled me much and it's usually an afterthought. I did recently pick up some cheap and good titles but haven't made my custom cases for them or cleaned them up properly yet, so I may have another N64 update in the future when I get these up to standard.









Here's an extra picture, some new Saturn games courtesy of Jmustang1968 and Hobie-wan's mega sale recently. Also included are two games from the Cotton series that I couldn't take pictures of at the time, but are ready for display now.

The VGA panzer stuff is amazing

Nice Cotton stuff, and with the teacup.
