Do you not?

I agree. Recently sold a closet full of retro game stuff I had been accumulating from years. It was doing me no good, and I just decided to sell it all at once, and not worry about getting top dollar for everything. I kept a handful of my favorite SNES games and a SNES mini, and decided to use the money I made to buy an SD2SNES, a pair of 8bitdo wireless controllers/receivers, an HDRetrovision YPbPr cable, a little 15" JVC broadcast monitor with the RGB/YPbPr input card, and a small little table for everything with baskets for storage. I literally went from an embarrassing amount of retro debris to a tiny, curated setup that doesn't take up any space at all. Feels good.

Driving around town every weekend to check all the thrift shops for cheap games started to feel way too petty. I bought a bunch of stuff that I didn't need, and wasted a lot of time doing it. Nobody needs all that stuff, and no one is impressed by it. Retro gaming is fun, but you should spend your time playing, sharing, and enjoying this stuff with your friends, not trying to find every cart, box, and manual.

>>3766596

I'm not one to judge, but I would recommend making a more proper "setup" for it, like a nice chair or something so you aren't sitting criss cross on your floor. That is if you plan to continue with this stuff. Other than that, I liked it!

Oriignally had them standing up. But I moved to a new place where I don't have a workshop and now I'm stck with my old spindles, and some of them are far too tall, so I had to lay them down. Also the new place is smaller, so I can't store them on my shelves anymore. The drawers under the bed where the best place to put them.

As far as retro consoles go, those are the ones I own. Sorry, I live in America and don't play enough Weaboo games to justify importing jap consoles like the PC-FX (Though I like the console design on that one). No pics as all of them are in storage. I mostly emulate to keep them in good condition. Also fuck Sega.

I need to update this. I since got the Disk System for the Famicom, and I found a Halo Edition xbox for Steel Battalion.

Also got a little over 60 more games since, and a new TV.

I'll probably take a new picture once the Switch comes out.

>>3768462
That must be a pain trying to put a game back everytime you want to play another one.

>>3768464

Thankfully I'm tall, but it's still worse than it looks. My computer desk is under that shelf, so I need to lean over it, and sometimes move the chair out of the way, which is bullshit when you have a hippy carpet.

>>3767049
fuck terrible they ffell apart really easy, they look good all stand together tho

>>3768465
It also looks like the right shelf is going to split in half from all the weight its holding.

>>3768481

The right side, yeah?

It's secured by a middle bracket, but one of these days, I'm going to take it all down, and get something stronger, then use 4 brackets instead of three.

that's really nice, thanks anon! Before I moved into my new house, I specifically remember saying that I needed a spare bedroom for a retro themed room. i'm glad it worked out in the end.

>>3769012
how much did your pay for all of those combined?

>>3770670
I mean, I didn't really keep a tally; that collection is over years and years. PDS was found when I helped a friend move out of his house and he let me keep it along with the Saturn that got me started. I recall I paid something like $120 for Magic Knight Rayearth in 2013. Other than that the rest I got mostly through trades online and off.

>>3770818
Fair enough. I slowly want to improve my Saturn collection, but a majority of the good games cost well over $200. It's fucking suffering to say the least.

Anyway, how is that Iron Man game?

>>3770826
Hot garbage. I think I got it as a throw-in.

>>3770841
Oh really? It looks like a side-scrolling platformer which is one of my favourite genres. Does it just play awfully or something?

>>3770860
It's just clunky and slow, the bosses have too much health for how simple they are. It's not the worst, but it feels like other digitized games of the time.

>>3770873
Fair enough. I'm not stranger to liking bad games and it appears to be one of the more cheaper saturn games. i'll probably pick it up in the coming weeks.

I think so too. The classic mistake I keep seeing in game room videos is people having shelves that are too deep. That just means they end up having shit stacked up in front of the games, or even worse: double layers.

With double layers, you are no longer displaying games, you are simply storing them. Your game room becomes a storage.
