because of the pictures orientation. When you have a vertical oriented picture when uploading, click the rotate 90° option. Just some glitch or somethin.

Thanks.  The white shelves are former rental shelves.  I want to make some matching shelves down the road, but for now the other smaller shelves on the left will do.  
 

The Sega shelf?  Yeah, those cases are pretty colorful.  As long as I'm making custom cases, I like to use a uniform spine and format.  

Just a notice that this post will not contain anything noteworthy, especially compared to some of the really awesome collections you have been posting in this thread before.   Retro gaming has been a part of my life since ever. My Family had a famiclone since I can remember, it was pretty much the first console I've played. However, years have passed, the games were all given away at some point, and also the famiclone itself broke. Probably my last time playing old games on real hardware was in the very early 2000s. The famiclone was my only console growing up - no SNES, no N64, etc. Nintendo wasn't even selling those over here. Believe it or not, I've never even seen a Game Boy until I've bought one myself recently...

However, in the past time I've become more financially stable, and about half a year ago I've decided to start a retro collection of my own, pretty much from scratch... I still have the said famiclone and I've even got it repaired, but it's not ideal for gaming. Thankfully at least I've got the old TV I've used back in the day, it definitely makes playing games more nostalgic.

So, this is my setup for now:



I wanted to keep it simple. I'm looking for a more suitable TV cabinet, but this one does the job for now... and it looks properly retro. And awful. It just fits the whole aesthetics.   The consoles are as follows:

• AV Famicom + Everdrive N8
• NES (PAL)
• Super Famicom + Super Game Boy 2 + SD2SNES
• Sega Mega Drive (NTSC-J) + Mega Everdrive X7
• Sony PS2 (NTSC-U)

Also, standing near the TV:

• N64 (NTSC-J) - no Everdrive yet, but I'll get one eventually
• Game Boy Light + Everdrive-GB X7

Also, just for the lulz, an old VCR and a DVD player. Just for the show, neither of those is working properly, though I'd want to get the VCR operational someday hopefully. It's also the one I had and used growing up, so it adds to the nostalgia. I also have quite a lot of the VHS tapes from back in the day laying around.



When I've started this collection (my first purchase was the AV Famicom, back in July 2018 I believe), I've decided that it was most sensible to think of myself as a gamer first, collector second. That's why I've got flashcarts for (nearly) all of my systems, and the game collection itself is a bit lacklustre to say the least. About half of the games I own were bought together with the consoles themselves and I don't care much about most of those.

Collecting retro games is definitely an expensive hobby (especially when living in a place you can't really get anything you want locally), and going for the Everdrive route was a much cheaper option, even though not as authentic. I do plan to expand the game collection, but I'm in no rush to do so at the moment, I'll probably get some of the games I'm most nostalgic for, and that's it. I just want to relieve some of my childhood and I think it's what matters the most, right? Although I've gotta say, the whole experience is a bit... bitter-sweet. I'm glad that I've finally got all of the retro stuff, but I really wish I had a few years earlier... but I was in no position to do so at that moment. Eh, it is what it is.

There are also a few accessories to go along with the consoles...



And yes, that is an R-Zone. Possibly the best thing in the entire collection. j/k  

Been a good while since I posted on NA, so I thought I'd post again now, and I thought I'd display what's left of my small Street Fighter-collection that I've been collecting non-actively since the 90's. Do note that it hasn't been easy collecting SF when one lives beyond the wall aka north of Norway. SF was never a game that got too much hype up here. Only a hand full exclusive releases (guides, posters and such alike). Cannot even be compared to countries such as USA, GER and UK. Anyways, as you can see, I am missing a LOAD of merchandises, figures and especially game releases. And it's getting worse since I am still selling pretty much everything I have. So yeah, here's a couple of pics of what I still have left of it:

this weeks haul.

meh technical difficulties...


this weeks haul.

havent posted in a very long time. April will make 5 years since i moved into this house, and in that timespan ive gotten 3 out of my 4 bookcases built in my living room. this coming week i will be building the 4th one. to motivate myself, im posting a panoramic photo of the room from last year when me and my homie were watching the Pelicans in the NBA playoffs.

This makes me happy.  Looks like this is in your main living area so you cannot help but viewing the amazingness in your periphery while watching old reruns of Forensic Files or while trying to ignor your homie.
 

Man I love that show

My little collection in a little room   Just finished this project yesterday. Video is in finnish, but you can see what I have. There is little over 1000 games. Everything is mostly PAL-stuff. Some USA-NES games and consoles. 1st model Genesis, RGB-modded AV-Famicom and SNES mini and JPN N64. Rest of the consoles are PAL. Here's the video:

Enjoy!

Wow, compact!

My turn, so after 15 years of waiting in bins and a few months into my first house my Billys are now all installed and loaded with my collection. A few pics for you guys to enjoy! Gotta say i am pretty happy to finally display my collection.


 

Ill take this post as well  

It's gorgeous.

Try grouping them by publisher, they present much nicer that way.

At the very least group up Blackboxes, Konami, Capcom, Ultra, and LJN.

Nice stuff dude! Now that's some black box love right there ;-)

Thanks, haha sorry but alphabetical is the only way for me  

closing in on 600 ............

 

good to see you pop in once and a while ray

Been a while since i posted but have been reading quietly for quite a while, but just finished building my gameboy cabinet to house my DMG set and Color Set, now deciding which sets i will target next

Nice stuff there dude, only the good stuff. Dont forget to pick up mario party 5  

Ok,

So this one goes out to Mr. Saturn since im guessing he is as big of a Earthbound fan as I.

Book and guide used by Nintando employees and testers straight from the Nintendo headquarters themselves. I also took pictures with the other Earthbound items to get the Earthbound owner icon.

Note the sticker on the book itself even says Nintendo Game Guide #0004. This has to be the most valuable item i now own, and will never part with.

I know I’m about 4 years late to this post, but that megaman setup is bada$$ man! Some of my favorite games as a kid. Thanks for sharing!!

Set up some Billy bookcases in the living room this week! Finally able to display the movie collection. The upper section with the games and stuff isn't finished. Ran out of individual shelves so i need to hit ikea to get some more. That will be filled up with the girlfrieds games and more decorative pictures and things. Should look nice when its finished, just wanted to share cuz its nice to see the movies again. Took quite a while to get them organized. Also got some new chairs and coffee table for the game room.
