JayWI Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I tried to follow the tips and shoot without using flash. The pics seems dark to me. Maybe I'll take some again during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayWI Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 I just realized I should have included a pic of the other TV I use. It's an old console TV that's about 30 years old. Great for playing classic games on in their original environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) Nice seeing a TG-16 box again! I know I talk about the past a lot (most of us do), but the marketing of this stuff was sooooo much cooler back then. System boxes, game boxes, all the cool accessories, etc. Today's stuff is marketed as blandly as they really look - IMO. I find the systems of the past to be much more attractive than today's generic/homogenized boxes. Last system I thought looked really neat was the Dreamcast, as barebones as it is. Awesome Super Pro System too! And oh... just caught your Colecovision box. Excellent! See, that kind of stuff just pulls you in. Love the colors, pics on the box - the whole package.

JayWI Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 The Colecovision box has a rip, but it's all there. I shouldn't expect much since I got that box with a CV inside plus an extra CV, a bunch of controllers and 6 games for $20 at a rummage sale a few years ago. Both CVs work and all the controllers seem to work as well, but my CV library is so small that I can't really test them out effectively. There's so many other boxes that I had until about 10 years ago and then I ditched them. Intellivision, Intellivoice, SMS, Genesis. The Genesis box was the one with the Altered Beast picture on the front. SMS I think was basically a giant ad showing that Double Dragon was free. The Intellivision I can't remember if that was the original 1980 box (the woody system) or the Super Pro box. I remember it being blue in color with screen shots of all the different games. From a quick Google, it may have been the old woody. What happened to the old woody? Well it broke so we replaced it with the Super Pro system. The original had neither controller working any more and since it was near the end of the Intellivision, buying a new system rather than paying to have the old one fixed made sense at the time. Today an Ebay auction got delivered. I bid on 2 TG-16 games (Bonk's Adventure and Vigilante, both in the cases with instructions) and swore I wouldn't play the TG until they arrived. I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Nice stuff! Is that an E.T. with a white case for the Atari 2600? Never seen that before, or are my eyes playing tricks on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully to make it easier to find!! That's what I'm thinkin'. When you need your E.T. fix it's best not to waste precious seconds searching for the cart.

JayWI Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Very nice collection!!!!! Nice clean set up. Thanks! It's grown a bit since I took these pics and I reorganized stuff. I'm holding off taking more pics until I get a new house. I'm hoping to have a superfly, funky fresh man-cave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Cool! I really like seeing other collections. I also like seeing one picture of the whole collection (or a whole wall, etc) when possible. Looks like a great place for some gaming!

JayWI Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I keep forgetting to mention that just to the left side of the pic of the whole collection is a big ol' console TV. It's at least 30 years old and helps capture that whole retro gaming feel. Unfortunately when I move it won't be coming with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know of a basement where it might fit in When the time comes, if you come and get it you can have it. It's not too heavy, just awkward. I've got a newer 36" that I'm currently using as our main TV. Once we move it goes into the game room and we get a new flat screen HD TV for our main.
