Here it is, at long last, an update to my room of doom pictures. I've had a digital camera for about a month now, but was toying with it a bit...and never could seem to get the lighting or angle right on the cart drawers. well I'm satisfied with these results.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/vb7800.jpg
The top shelf, With Atari 7800 hooked up, and a spare virtual boy on display.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/toptwo.jpg
the next two lower shelves. Snes, n64, Jaguar, Saturn, and Master system with the 3d goggles. The controller cords all run behind the systems; you'll see why a few pictures down...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/gencoleco2600.jpg
Genesis 1 with CD 1 and 32x on the left, with an arcade power stick; colecovision with expansion module 1 on the lower right, and a SEARS HEAVY SIXER on the upper right. I was so happy when i found that heavy sixer....
also on the left you can see my gamecube games and a blank key hanging from a hook; the blank key, combined with alcohol wipes, is how I clean games.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/bottomthree.jpg
The bottom three shelves. PS2, Xbox, Tg-16, NES, Dreamcast, Cube, and atari XEGS. normally, I don't have the keyboard attached to the XEGS.
Note: The shelves look crooked because i suck at leveling out my camera. I built those shelves MYSELF and they ARE LEVEL. if anyone dares to contest that, i'll take a picture of a level on the shelf in ultra-hi-res to prove it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/controllers.jpg
Here's where all the controller cords run to! It keeps things much cleaner to have all the controllers in one place, right next to my chair.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/literatureswitches.jpg
There's all my AV Switches on the far left; CD Wallet for all disc-based games, and then all video game related literature. (I bought a lot of player's guides when i was a kid.) The DP guide has to be the best $20 i ever paid for anything....
[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/jagcoleco.jpg
Top drawer - 7800 games on the left, Jag next, then Tg16 HuCards and atari 8-bit carts, followed by colecovision.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/SEGAdrawer.jpg
The SEGA Drawer. I never thought this one would get filled up. NOTE: I did NOT pay a single penny for the shaq fu.(I did not steal it either!!) Genesis on the left, then 32x, Master system, and game gear crowding out the edge.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/misc.jpg
n64 games, followed by nes and SNES overflow, and then Virtual Boy and NGPC. I'm looking to finish the VB collection by the year's end; there's 11 out of 14 us carts right there.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/2600drawer.jpg
The atari 2600 drawer. Yeah, that's a Texas Chainsaw Massacre cart in there!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/snes.jpg
The SNES drawer.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/Nes.jpg
The NES drawer.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/controls.jpg
Random cool controllers and portable systems...My next project is to build some sort of rack or wall holster for all those light guns. I have more than one of some items pictured(7800 pads x6) but why waste all that pic space..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/games/firehazard.jpg
the firehazard i call a power center.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/P1010001.jpg
That's my SNES cart wallet. Frickin' Hardcore. \m/
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/pencilholder.jpg
n64 controller pencil holder. Again, Frickin' Hardcore. \m/
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/krazy_kamino/inaction.jpg
And that's me in action on the good ol' Virtual Boy!!!
That pretty much wraps up the collection photos. Only thing not seen here is a huge tub of spare controllers. Oh, and nothing you see here is for sale. Not for sale, not for trade, do not call, do not ask! (feel free to drool, though!:P)

Right on, very nice man.
I especially like the N64 pencil holder, gives the controller something useful to do for once. :)

@Cauterize - I am fairly sure europe did not get a VB release,as all the VB games i see on ebay are for JAP and USA. It doesn't matter which region console you buy as all the games play in either one.

@VACRMH - Of course there's not a single box. Boxes and manuals are overrated; Boxes take up too much space and crush easily, and real men don't read manuals!!!
While i was not kidding with the above statement, my loose collecting strategy dates back to when i was a kid. I used to go to this store called VIDEO GAME EXCHANGE in Milwaukee. Kelan, Rich, If you read this, let me know if the store is still there. Anyhoo, you could find the same game in the $15 bin as the $5 - difference was box and manual. I NEVER understood why stupid cardboard and paper raised the price, and walked out with 3 times as many games. I definitely have a GAMER style collection.

@QBert - yah, that was a broken controller that i got at a thrift for a buck. I was shocked that it didnt work, the stick felt really tight...so i got my buck out of it in the end.

and to all, thanks..it's taken a while to build the collection, and i'm finally getting to a point where i don't feel i'm frantically trying to build beyond pathetic!!

How'd you do the pencil holder? I have a few extra n64 controllers that don't work as well as I would like and that seems like a cool idea.

just rip out all the guts, glue in the d-pad, L, R, Z, and the stick..start is your preference, i decided to put start in. i used heavy duty plastic and metal glue. go to an automotive shop and ask what you'd use to glue a bumper on a car. LOL

As you see, i ripped the pcb out of an snes cart, cut out all the screw holes and all that crap, glued in some credit card holders, and added hinges. actually i need to redo that pic. at that time the hinges were just glued in with the same glue as the pencil holder. now i've got em screwed in. heh.
it works great!!!!!!! i actually use it as my every day wallet.

Is that black sweatshirt with pink embroidery (possibly Vice City) your favorite sweatshirt? You are wearing it in your avitar and in the photo of you playing the Virtual boy. What's the Dille-O?
Kamino
08-06-2004, 03:46 PM
indeed that shirt IS vice city. Official rockstar promo item. matches the hat, and i hear they don't grow on trees ;)

Use a 3.88mm security bit, the same one used for NES, Virtual boy, Game boy(original and colour) and n64.
