Keatah Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) A very nostalgic pic. Seems to capture the moment of when me and my 1981 buddies would be trying to decide what to play next.

It's not huge, but I consider it to be big enough for now! First of all, I have pretty much all of my video game stuff in this Sega retail display case. From what I know, these type of cases are quite rare. It also has lighting, but I need to get some clear shelves for light to shine through each shelf. On the top of the case, I have my Atari 2600 Sunnyvale Light Sixer, along with a Wii Mini box and a wooden Mario and Luigi (which I made) in the background. In the case's top shelf, I have some assorted video game stuff. The main attraction in the case is the CIB NES Action Set! I also have a few Atari 2600 cartridges lined up in the front. At the bottom of the case, I have more assorted video game stuff (most of them are Atari 2600 cartridges). I forgot to take a picture of my "gaming desk", where I have my Wii Mini, CRT TV, Game Boy clock, and a few other things. Finally, this is my "secret" drawer of BNIB video game stuff! I am temporarily keeping this stuff in my drawer until I can get some clear shelves for my case. As you can tell, I love bubble wrap! For the Atari 2600, I have Robot Tank, Battlezone, and Defender. I also have an NES and SNES Classic Edition. The "holy grail" of my collection is the Game Boy Pocket in the bottom left corner! That's pretty much it for my collection! I hope you all enjoyed looking! I will provide updates to stuff that I get for the collection in the future! your room looks like a 90s video game kiosk at the mall. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/293418-my-small-video-game-collection/page/2/#findComment-4632082 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCanadian Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 super cool man, those are the types of cases I used to press up against as a kid and look at for hours before picking one. Those types of picks usually yielded crap. Never judge a game by its cover. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/293418-my-small-video-game-collection/page/2/#findComment-4656185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejay Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) For the Genesis, CIB games are worth getting. They're much more common and cheap than games in paper boxes and they actually have a purpose other than just packaging.

bluejay Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just now, Isaiah Austin said: No, I don't have one; I'm just collecting Sega Genesis games for now. That's exactly what I'm doing for a Wii... But only for 7 games: Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, 4 Swords Adventures, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. That's all I'm ever going to play on my Wii if I were to get one, which I definitely will. Anyways, I hope you get a Genesis someday. I wish I picked up more of those $5 Genesises from goodwill; I'd have gladly sent it your way for free ? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/293418-my-small-video-game-collection/page/2/#findComment-4678669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopy25 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Dude, this is quite the collection for a young adult. I wish I had the ability at your age to purchase these kinds of things. I remember walking past a ton of Atari consoles in the late 90s with my parents wishing I could have one. They weren't even that much, but the difference in $20 for a console vs $20 in pants for winter was a huge thing to us. I started colleting as an adult about 10 years ago when I got into console modding. I would trade work for retro console stuff. I recently purchased some games from another forum and thought I was getting Dig Dug for the 2600 but it was sold since the last update. I was SUPER bummed. Dig Dug was THE game I wanted. Did you ever get your genesis fixed? I've seen a few posts for model 1s in local FB marketplace or OfferUp for about $15 for a working console. I want to jump on that so bad, but I already have a model 2 and CD and would rather acquire new items than duplicates. Learn how to solder! It's super fun, and pretty easy over all. It really just takes practice. You have an excellent collection. Keep up the good work! 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/293418-my-small-video-game-collection/page/2/#findComment-4697376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
