My gaming setup/collection

You need the wires, in case if someone wants to steal your games, then strangle him Violence solves anything, duct tape fixes anything

Ah yes, that sounds like a good idea. Yeah wire clutter has been a problem for a while. I'll see about getting some cheap ones, maybe those cheap storage containers or something. Thanks.

Or you could get cheap plastic drawers for your controllers, if you get stacks of 1, maybe two, it might fit underneath the table and you can get them out without opening up a box.

You know, I've been thinking about finding out how to build a mame emulator, but I don't actually have the room for it. I'd probably have to move a lot of stuff around. And I'd rather not take a risk of breaking anything, considering I know nearly nothing about electronics building. Thanks for the suggestion though.

You could build a smallish tabletop one and just put a table in the corner or something. All they really are is a computer with the MAME emulator and monitor in a wooden box. The hardest part (besides building a wooden case, if that's not your thing) is the controls. What you can do is just buy a set (There's a bundle of like 20 buttons and two joysticks for like 40 dollars, or you could try just one joystick if you can find on) and (pretty much) plug them in.

If that's not possible, you could buy a cheap PC and put the emulator on it. But just don't put it in a mame case. There are USB Arcade pads that you can use with it. You might even be able to hook up the PC to your TV so you can think of it as a "console" but only have it for MAME games.

You have some nice stuff!! As others have mentioned I would recommend cleaning up wires with some storage containers.

For controllers, I just use rubber bands on the cords and put them in plastic drawers, just a suggestion through.

Well everything sounds better than what I've got right now. I might just buy those plastic drawers. I'll buy four sets of two when I get the money for controllers and accessories. Maybe sticking the Plug N' Plays into one of them to make room for a Sega Saturn and a PS3 when I buy/re-buy those things. Thanks for your help everyone.

I'll have a few more pics probably tomorrow.

Thats a solid GC collection, its a console I wish I collected for back a few years ago, its becoming harder and harder to find good titles in the wild. Solid little collection.

Thank you. The Gamecube is actually my favorite console. There are a lot of great games on the system. A lot of the games I got when they first came out, so that limits Player's Choice, and most of them are complete. In my opinion, the Gamecube is one of the best consoles to collect for. And yes, a lot of the games are becoming a lot harder to find and a lot more rare, though I never plan on selling my collection, it's nice to know it's worth something, so it makes me proud to have these games, especially since a lot of them were good.

And if anyone has any ideas for games you think I should play for any of my consoles (obviously the ones that have pics for) that would be great.

[Ack]

As a huge SNES fan, I quite like your collection. It's not huge, but it more than makes up for it with the quality of games. I'd also be more than happy to recommend you additional games, though I don't know what genres you prefer. From what I can tell, you do enjoy your first-party titles from Nintendo, so I'd say you ought to look into finding a copy of Super Metroid.

All of them! As far as where to start for me Warioworld is very addicting. I see you have a Gameboy Player. Warioware for Gameboy Advance better then the Cube version, extra music and intermissions. How do you like Pikmin2? I was thinking about getting it. Also I see you have the Cube 64 version of Zelda and Metroid with extra bonus disc. Good finds! Mario Kart also comes with extra disc, only demos though.
