Me too got so close to buying one about a year back. Dude had a bag full of 7-8 games plus the system for $15. Had no idea what it was at the time though and figured it was just some weird audio enabled interactive book completely looked over the video output :P.

I passed over a sack of Pico + games for $25 myself a few years back. I wish I'd bought it just so I could say I owned every Sega released in the US, but I don't know of any games I would have actually played on it.

I had forgotten about your breathtaking Nintendo collection until now.

Those yellow players choice GCN title on the bottom shelf are such an eyesore - surprised you let them in the house.

Kidding aside - quite rare to have a massive collection that actually looks clean, organized, and not aesthetically distracting. Well done.

Though, somehow I can't believe that is truly their first glance at SMW :mrgreen:

This was like looking into a temporal anomaly and seeing my own childhood (minus the cab setup). So cute.

Also, NintendoTwizer, that gameroom! Holy smokes. I imagine the awe I'm feeling is something close to what Belle felt in Beauty and the Beast when she saw the castle library for the first time.

I particularly like how airy the setup is. Although I'm remembering how busted my neck used to get from gaming on my stomach like that. :lol:

Got one of my new pinballs working so I had my son put it through the ringer today.

He's figured out a more comfortable way to hold the controller than I ever thought of. LOL. He made it around (1) lap of the first track in Mario Kart, and even got a "First Hit" on me in Street Fighter Alpha 2. LOL. Gamer in training.

You sir are definitely the kind of person I'm hoping of being with whatever kids I end up having. They can play whatever new games(excluding some of the weird shmups) they want as long as I can afford it if I do have kids. But I would so much rather them play some of these games...especially that game. I have that one and it plays so much better on the snes than gba :P
My gameroom
My systems: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, original gba, gba sp(001), ds lite, 3ds, vita, psp, PSone(101 model) ps2, ps3(320gb model), ps4, retron 5, and Dreamcast.
