Felt the need to show this off since it still feels like a great deal(at least to me). 1 pawn shop and 3 gamestops later(only bought games from the last two and the second to last only had the sega genesis collection which was the only thing that interested me):

Ended up spending 16.49. Especially since I got myself a $10 off coupon(but messed up and picked the more expensive $10 one if I'm correct sadly) and that took the genesis collection down to 4.75 I think. Seems like quite a deal for all the games included on that disc..

We were mentioning the luck of finding Dreamcast games in the CD section of thrift stores and, wouldn't you know it, I found one in the local CD section of a Goodwill...plus it was half off! Nothing special but it's the first Dreamcast game that I've found in the wild.

Ninja not bad!

Won these both on ebay. Got Technika Tune for $60 US version. Seems to be quite rare and Amazon has it listed for $129 used and $200+ new. Stock photos until they arrive. :o

:lol: Thanks for all the nice comments! Did not notice my post count, I guess I qualify as an OCD Retro Gamer now. :D

I'll try to get a pic later, a lot of dusting and clearing game cases off the table first so it won't be too embarassing. :oops:

The computer desk of madness is clean compared to the clutter of consoles piled on the front room table. Actually not that bad, I can proudly proclaim all consoles are plugged into switch boxes and instant accessable, each having one primary controller plugged in. Just to get an idea, the consoles are on an oversized coffee table in front of the couch. All can be reached except the Wii (which is wireless controller anyways) without getting my couch potato up. Not a nice "Museum" display, but functional. Also have a 7800 console (sometimes swap in a 2600 six switcher) plugged in the bedroom; a third Dreamcast and second N64 sharing the VGA CRT computer screen. Commodore 128d "game console" is also at the desk of madness. I should break out my other 8bit computers for the big screen, after all they do have game carts. Need another table and maybe a bigger room.........

PS2 - Component
Xbox (under PS2) - Component
NES - Composite
N64 (above NES with stand) - SVideo
Dreamcast - SVideo
PS1 (Under Blaze Twinshock stand) - SVideo
Atari Flashback 2 (above PS1 and under Blaze each has stand) - Composite
Gamecube - Component
Atari 5200 (Side Table) - RF
Wii (Under TV) - Component
Second Dreamcast (DDR unit under TV) - SVideo
Second PS1 (DDR unit under TV)
PC Laptop (switchbox has front SVideo input)

The laptop has a dedicated SVideo output, wish it were component since the WEGA HD CRT does not support VGA. PC is used for the modded Buzz controlled Jack games and various PC gaming on the big screen.

@ darsparx - That Genesis Collection a nice find, especially for the exclusive Arcade game unlocks. PSP and PS2 versions each has a unique vector game. :idea:

Yeah I'd seen something about the collections(maybe the atari one?) in the process of searching through gamestop's website for cheap psp games. Ended up searching it up and found out about the genesis collection. Luckily one local gamestop had it(had to go to 3 to find it :lol:)

Glad I purchased DJ Max when they were having it on sale from Pentavision. The US release was only available for purchase from the Pentavision US website, which is why it is quite hard to find.
