Very nice setup!

Though I will now admit that I am hungry, thanks to that big fork! LOL

The games are really organized, especially the Famicom stuff. Why only one floppy disk holder for FDS games, though? That would drive me nuts, they would have to be the same container.

Don't think I would ever mount that gun/mat on my wall, though. LOL

Im still searching out storage solutions for a wallmount, concerning the FDS games. I want them to be equally as organized. Many of them dont have a place to live yet. =(

Concerning hanging the gun and mat, it was a spur of the moment thing, and it turned out really funny lol. I like em up there. I take the MP5- er Bandai Hypershot off the wall for some Space Shadow about once a week now.

What the fork?

Nice setup other than the "trip me and break my duo" wires. :)

I put up hooks on the wall in the basement to hang guitars for awhile. Didn't end up sticking with the idea, but at least you know you're not alone in trying it ;)

I like the layout. It looks nice and clean.

I have thought about doing the same thing but I wasn't sure how it would look.

Nice setup. I like the wall mount'd famicom rack. Is it just a normal cassette storage thingy? I picked up a few cassette shelves, thinking NES might fit, wrong. I guess it is time to build my famicom collection.

How did you get all the famicom games?

Thanks for all the comments!

Eh, poor Duo-R. It was designed with stubby controller cords, and I haven't bought any extensions yet. So for now it has to sit on the ottoman for playing.

Concerning the rack, yes it is just an old Napa Valley cassette tape rack. the famicom carts (except a few like Rodland) fit perfectly in there. For NES, I recommend DVD racks. The carts fit in there perfectly. You can see Ive got some cheapies from Best Buy in the pic there working out pretty well.

I got most of my FC games from www.famicomshop.com

Oh. And theres a big spoon too, its hidden on the other side. =)

Nice setup, Arasoi. Don't you have a bunch of nice Castlevania collectibles, too? You should gather those and take some more photos.

I did once have a large CV collection, though I sold quite a bit of it. I hung my favorite Castlevania poster that I kept on the wall to the right of the photo, a Castlevania Chronicles Japanese release poster.

Today I framed and hung an original "Now you're playing with power" poster that came with the NES console near where the big wooden fork is too.

Ima photo again after I get my next two posters hung.

I thought these pics of Bratwurst's excellent repro I ordered should go in here. I have fooled quite a few friends with this repro's authentic look.

I'm all about that giant TV-shaped fade outline it's gonna get...oh wait, is this some kind of gaming dungeon? :P

Yeah, you think you're all good, but then DHS gon' bust down yer door and shoot you cause of that famicom machine gun thing you got sittin' on the wall. And cause you funded that notorious brazilian game terrorist (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129351). Next time, don't fund terrorism with your vidya game money, thanks

hey i was briefly looking on the back of the Hyper Shot Gun box the other week and saw Space Shadow vol. 1

Does that mean there are other volumes for Space Shadow, or other compatible games with the hypershot gun?

Arasoi

I believe there is only one volume of the game, and no other compatible games. But if anyone knows more please speak up, it's a great accessory.

Speaking of Mega Man, what's going on in your sig?

Hah, that is a screencap of some artwork from a Nicovideo playthrough of Protoman/Blues mode in Rockman 9.

The video author added in commentary from Blues through the video and some artwork/story as a joke. A scene was added with Splashwoman imitating a certain cutscene from Megaman X4.

Poster rearrangement!
