Hello ?! Nobody ? I am sure, that you have a Digi Cam !

[Drixxel]

I do indeed have a digital camera, but batteries are in very short supply at the moment. ..and my gaming area's nothing special. Right now I have a Genesis, Atari Jaguar, and N64 hooked up in my bedroom to a 27" television at the foot o' the bed, and in the actual area of my humble abode reserved for gaming, there's a loveseat and an old green armchair positioned strategically in front of an entertainment center containing yet another 27" TV and the remainder of the consoles. My games are in a fairly chaotic state right now, as I'm in the stages of reorganizing it all as to allow greater ease of access to the games themselves, so it all looks pretty terrible right now.

[Vicman]

If you really want pictures I can take pictures but I'm currently living with family while I'm awaiting my move to Tampa in a couple of months. Suffice it to say the gaming area isn't nearly as nice/set up correctly as it was in my old apartment.

[Vicman]

Alrighty, here's my gaming set up. The first four are of the living room and the last one is what's currently my room.

Looking good everyone... My gaming room, is my bedroom, and It's almost done, gaming room wise.

[lordofduct]

Mine has changed many times over the few years after moving from my parents... I used to have something I don't have pics of.

Then when I moved a bunch of my friends into my townhouse cause they all needed a place I lost my gaming room and moved it to the living room. My roomates played it a lot and didn't know how to take care of shit, as you can see.

THEN, I got a big screen and I upgraded to this set up.

Now, I just moved into a house 2 days ago so I don't have any pics of the new set up. I will have some soon though after I hook everything up... I only have my Genny and Computer hooked up to the TV right now. Hell yeah, thats my newest upgrade, My XP maching is plugged into the DVI on my 57" HDTV. Uber sized web surfing!

[danielscheil]

woaaah ! what a television ! nut of you play 8 bit games that not so good ?

and what wonderfull things, JVC !, Multimega's !
Yeah more Pics !!

[landstalkerx]

The following pics are of my gaming room. There are a couple of things I should mention though... I just recieved a large shipment of Sega CD games as well as some hardware which is why my room is unusually messy. Also I haven't lived in the house where the picture was taken for very long and I haven't had time to get rid of the construction wallpaper.

[lordofduct]

I am the biggest geek in town as it comes to owning a lot of video games... everyone (and I know just about everyone in my town and surrounding towns, I get around quite a bit) has always noted how I have the largetst collection yet... Only James a friend of mine comes close to having the amount of stuff as me.

Then I look here and see this... my dear GOD!

I am a mere peasant in comparison...

Anyways, I kinda actually been falling out of the gaming thing. I hooked up all my systems I have left.(sold off quite a few recently as I am very TIGHT on cash at the moment, spent something around $6500 in the month of August to cover bills!) Anyways, I will have pics of my new gaming set up...

Cool thing though today, I got rid of my satellite because when the cable guy came to hook up my internet he didn't know what he was there for... he though something was broken. I explained:

"no I want cable internet and your here to turn it on".
"Oh ok, No TV though?"
"Nope don't watch TV"
"Really? Who the hell doesn't watch TV? Especially when you own a TV that BIG!"
"I play a lot of vid games and watch DVDs."
"Well I don't have of the modem trap boxes... soooo... I guess your getting free cable."

HOT DOG! Free TV... now I can watch History channel and the Weather Channel for FREE!

[Vicman]

Why would anyone waste a large screen tv on crap cable tv viewing? Either it's for HD programming, DVD's, or games.
BTW how large is your TV in 4:3 terms, because one of the things I hate w/ 16:9 tv's is how you hear 50" and ppl think it's huge simply because they're thinking of 4:3 50" tv's. The only 16:9 TV I've seen that aproximates the height of my 4:3 is a 65" HDTV by Mitsubishi, which I might get in a year or so. It's either gonna be something 65"/larger or a HD projector with 9' screen capacity for true theater sized viewing/gaming.

P.S. can you either space out or shrink the pics you've posted? It's messing the thread up bad. It's why I posted thumbnails instead, to avoid this very problem.

[danielscheil]

@ theevilfunkster

YES someone else with PAL Games !

if you want to see very big collections look here:
http://www.nescapades.com/gameroom.htm

[lordofduct]

Yeah, I saw that over at SegaXtreme a while back... that collection is insane!

[Vicman]

But if you read the guys FAQ he sounds really down to earth. It's a shame so many ppl have talked shit about/to him concerning his collection.

[theevilfunkster]

That is the best thing I've ever seen.

And damn, I forgot to add my Nes, Snes, N64 and Atari games. I'll do that later.

http://www.nescapades.com/gameroom.htm

I've seen this before and I'll repeat my comment from the past. That is a very nice collection of games and alot of nice work has been put into the room itself, and to the display of the games. That said, how is it he only plays his games on that SHIT television set? You telling me he can afford to buy all those games but he can't afford a decent TV? Talk about a total buzzkill, it's like what Butthead said to Beavis: "Beavis, you just sent my boner into the ground".

[David J.]

Well, he explained why he has one if you scroll down.

But I'll quote it here:


Q: What’s up with that shitty TV, this guy needs a Plasma.

A: My TV is a 32” and plenty big for the distance you’re sitting in front of it from the NES bench. I didn’t see the need in blowing another $400 for a 36” and Plasmas and Bigscreens are to prone to burnt images when playing older games on them. If all I played was XBOX/PS2/GameCube, then yeah, I would sooner have a plasma.

Hell, I'm perfectly fine with my '27, might not be the biggest one in the world, but it was free, and is perfect for my tiny room. I barely touch my Xbox, and it looks fine with S-video, even tho I have component inputs.

[Vicman]

You have component imputs and you think it looks fine with S-Video? Either you don't have good eyes, your tv is sucky, or you got crappy 3rd party cheapo cables because the difference is always pretty large IMO.

[Vicman]

Also I don't buy that 32 is plenty big crap. If he's worried about burnt images then get a hd-projector and enjoy theater sized gaming for roughly $1000 w/o fear of burn in. Also that NES bench, while neat looking, seems rather uncomfortable to me for long hours of gaming.

Collection-wise what he has is EXTREMELY impressive and praise-worthy, but his set up indeed does suck.

[David J.]

Well, I have low standards on these kinds of things. My mom bought me the S-video cables as a gift and didn't know. Also, I don't even touch my Xbox anymore. The only time it is used is when my cousins come over. Why spend money just to spend money?

At their house, my cousins play their Xbox on a '13 inch screen with a RF adaptor, and they've never complained.

[Vicman]

I understand, it's just that once you get used to having a nice tv anything less is a letdown.

[jmet]

Here is an older pic of my setup, missing from the picture is a Model 2 Genny, Model 2 SNES, and New style Psone.



Here is the description.


Need to work on some things like tidying up the cables in the back and getting things on my game shelf in order but here is what a gaming nerds room looks like.

All playable by the flip of a switch or two and running on the best possible video connection (component for the newer and s-video/composite on the rest) and also on battery backup.


Left shelf down then Right shelf down:

I would, but I can't at this moment... maybe on Friday evening after my party.

[Drixxel]

Seemed to me that ol' lordofduct was questioning your claim to be a "gaming nerd" in that non-serious way common to comments that quietly amuse me. Just imagine "Are you a true gaming nerd jmet? Really, I beg to differ!" being spoken with an absurdly smug British accent.

[Mel]

Actually I use a 20". I've always had a 17-20" tv while gaming, and to be honest i've nver had a problem with it. Maybe if it was outside my bedroom i would try something bigger, but I find that 16-bit and 32-bit gaming work best on the smaller screens, (read less pixels)

[lordofduct]

I would, but I can't at this moment... maybe on Friday evening after my party.

Thank you so much for blessing us with an unprovoked comment and upon be questioned about it wasting our time further with a post saying you cannot post about it at this time but will later. :roll:

I am not sure whether it was meant to be an insult or not but being less vague might have cleared that up.

I was being sarcastic... we all here are gaming nerds!

no insult was intended.

[David J.]

I was playing some Sega CD on my '27 TV and it almost looks as good as it does on my computer with an emulator (no bilters).

My bad, I can be a testosterone filled jerk at times. :D

[lordofduct]

I think videogames look better on TVs... those old systems are made at a low res that your TV supports unlike your computer... most computers put out a minimum of like 800X600, if your lucky maybe 640X480.

The image of your game has to be scaled to that which looks really funky (why the pixels are so defined on your emulator)

For the longest time I had my computer use the Svideo out on my Geforce ti4200 so I could play movies and emulators.

Now I just have it hooked upto a HDTV and computer monitor nulled out

[Vicman]

I dunno. I think hi res 2-D art is about the coolest thing. It' too bad you see so little of it. Games like the one pictured below should be more prevalent.

Yes but the genny and sort don't put out those resolutions is what I'm saying.

[Vicman]

Oh I know, but why not enjoy the added enhancements of filters to improve image quality and try to get as close to hi-res 2-D art as possible? You can get a better image because of s-video cables instead of regular AV or RF, right? Well, why stop there is all I'm saying. Look at the two pictures below, one is using Genny-esque resolution, the other is in a higher resolution. Maybe I'm just the odd one out in this crazy lot at Sega-16 but I'd take the clearer/sharper looking visuals anyday of the week over the old muddy ones.

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/6913/fengshenyingjiechuanheroiclege.png http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/2076/fengshen025vx.gif

[lordofduct]

yes but when you have an emulator playing without filters (like the kid I was responding to was)... a genny hooked to a TV will look better then it as the TV puts out the same res.

On top of that the better cable connection you use to supply the color seperation parameters will jump the quality more.

A genny hooked upto an Amiga Monitor via RGB is my favorite consideration of video quality for the genny.


Grrr, I want to start working on that RPG I was planning again. Damn it I need artists...

[Drixxel]

What kind of artists do you need, lordofduct?

[Genesis Knight]

"I dunno. I think hi res 2-D art is about the coolest thing. It' too bad you see so little of it. Games like the one pictured below should be more prevalent. "

I agree, in some ways. The current systems (PS2), for example, have the power to do such beautiful things. The games might even be cheaper...

[lordofduct]

the chances of them greenlighting a 2D game though are slim to none... they happen every once in awhile (and look sick as all hell! I remember this one war game that came out early on the PS2, you took control of a tank or some shizzy, the battles were 3D and very nice looking but the rest was all in 2D and looked gorgeous... on top of that the game was HIGHLY addicting. Its a shaim I can't remember the name of it, it was like 3 years ago me and my old flatmate played it... wow that was long).

Oh my, a great game though that was a 2d/3d game (all 3d art but 2d gameplay) was Contra Shattered Soldier... I don't know why this game got so much flack. It was AWESOME good ol' Contra fun! I was addicted and mastered that freakin' game... A rank and all!

I think RPGs really are the only thing left that still do 2d... and not often... and everyone swamps on them "ah that looks like the SNES"

NO, I don't see the SNES handling that many sprites on screen and those humongous images... stupid tards.

[lordofduct]

Well I took a pic of my new gaming room... kinda fuzzy though cause the camera REALLY sucks

Not sure what you are saying here, please help me out.


Oh I know, but why not enjoy the added enhancements of filters to improve image quality and try to get as close to hi-res 2-D art as possible?

The thing that makes high resolution 2D special is the high resolution. You can not approach this by any way meddling with something in a low resolution. You can however display the low resolution as exact as possible.


You can get a better image because of s-video cables instead of regular AV or RF, right? Look at the two pictures below, one is using Genny-esque resolution, the other is in a higher resolution. Maybe I'm just the odd one out in this crazy lot at Sega-16 but I'd take the clearer/sharper looking visuals anyday of the week over the old muddy ones.

This completely confounds me. The picture on the left seems to be blurred. The picture on the right is not blurred. There is no difference in resolution.
Why do you call the left one "old"?

The Genesis outputs RGB. If you live in Europe and use a SCART TV or use some kind of RGB monitor in the States it will look exceptional. You will be able to tell the individual pixels easily.

[Drixxel]

Through the magic of graphic filtratrion made possible by modern console emulation, lower resolution 2D graphics can be made to look like a sort of pseudo high-res that takes advantage of whatever resolution your emulator is running at. I personally don't care for the look of the graphics smoothing associated with these kinds of filters, but hey, to each their own.

Even without filters, running a Genesis game in ROM form on an emulator set at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 is going to give you a strangely well-defined rendition of what was originally a 320 x 224 resolution game. Lets just imagine that Emulator X is capable of displaying any given Genesis ROM at four times its original resolution, meaning that there are now 16 pixels for every one original pixel. These 16-pixel blocks are each behaving as if they were a single pixel, but the image quality will be noticably crisper as each 'pixel' is now better defined. Combine that with graphic filtering that blends the colour of each actual pixel with the pixels adjacent to it and you have created the impression of high-resolution 2D graphics, to a certain extent.

That is what Vicman was getting at, I gathered. Those two screenshots he gave as examples were meant as a comparison between the picture quality of a Genesis hooked to a television versus the picture quality on an emulator. Without a genuine side-by-side comparison of a television beside a computer monitor the difference can't really be felt, especially through those two scaled-down images.

[lordofduct]

True... but as Drixxxel points out, the kid has both images at the same resolutions. When you stretch that right image to a higher resolution crap happens! (even the left image too, which though is taking how? probably through a coaxial or composite input on a capture card... of course its going to be lower quality then a screenshot of an emulator!) The muddiness of that image is caused by the source cable and not the hardware! Of course something that is displayed directly from it's processing unit on high quality VGA is not going to be as muddy with bleeding colors. But that isn't resolution as has been stated. This can be rectified with RGB cables or atleast something near that.

Yeah as you said now a pixel which once one ray of light across is now 16 pixels across! This is good? How? that means on screen you now have a rounded edge looking more like a pair of steps!

look here, I will show you a line, curve and circle at a low res. Then I will stretch that image (no filters) from its 120X120 to twice and qudrupal it's size. Look what happens... zig zags! Not freaking cool.

And what do you think happens to Sonic when you put him in the emulator... this isn't high res art! This is low res art stretched... high res art is like that image posted long back of what looked like Y's or a Y's knock off.

like so... Sonic CD original sprite... and then stretched!

ok i dont want to spam so much in the post your games list thread so i stop now and post here:

the reason for the new BIG Photos is:
i got a few hater guest book entries with spam like:
-this is not your collection, these are not your games etc...
i dont understand why people doing this...? Adol has a complete collection and i wanna have one too (someday... in 10 years )

now is every game on a big photo and the page need some time to load :-)
fell free to sign in my guestbook / gästebuch so my parents can see that there are more idiots like me collecting old vidgames :-)

cu someday soon

[ary incorparated]

daniel,you never have to worry getting in trouble with your money,you always can sel youre mD collection,hehehe.If you do make some nice price for youre Neigber country buyer hehehe,like let ary buy puyo pop 1plus 2 for 5 euro per stuck,i bett he would be pleased,hehehehehehe :D :lol: .no serieous nice collection still impresses by it,BTW robotron nice neo geo AES collection,i hve the system to but its broke,Dunno what the problem is,one day it worked just fine no problems the next while i didnt touched it it just went broke.Nice collection,neo geo AES is pretty darn expensive,okay not if you have the appropriate deals for the games.Nice .I have a neo geo AES with King of fighters 2000,Sengoku 3,Matrimelee and Art of fighting.I also have a neo geo CD with K.O.F 94, 95,97,98,99 samurai showdown 2,3 Fatal fury Rbs and fatal fury 3,and a old scool pad.And i have a neo geo 64 motherboard plus crap.and i have Neo geo pocket,pocket color with like 20 games,Metal slug 2nd mission)love that game Damn much' etc.if i knew how to post pics i could show my neo geo and genesis RIG to. :D

[David J.]

Daniel,

Adol is a prick, and you are not. Don't compare you to him.

For those wondering, he is the type of collector that hoards prototypes because he thinks they will loose their value. Truthfully, he has a one of one Mega CD prototype, and won't release it to the world. Also, he would buy games and resale them for quite a bit more than he bought them for. I'm sure he got steamed when someone got a game he was selling on ebay for less, while his stuff just sat there.

His collection is nice, no doubt. But his attitude leaves a to be LOT desired.

[danielscheil]

i can not understand where he get's the money for his collection ? he is not so old or ?

[lordofduct]

who is this Adol?

[Joe Redifer]

He's the dude that has saved the land of Ys countless times, I think. Though in the Master System version he was called Aron or something like that.

[ary incorparated]

Whats this about,A game dude or a real dude,where can i find like posts of him. :DIll give him a bare knuckle in its face.

[David J.]

I already said who he is, but for those who missed it...

Adol is a french dude who buys games cheap and sells them a LOT more than what he paid for. Also he hoards prototypes. Reselling cheap games for a lot is how he gets the money for all of his games.

He's been doing this since the '90's and it really pisses off other collectors. I just want him to share his MegaCD prototype, that's all.

[ary incorparated]

Sounds like a Happy head,Yeah dont compare yourself to hi.I know such people to,like someone i know has over 700 games and is very happy about it and Egoselfish like he is such a arss,he keeps taunting about his sega arcade kast(mega tech)hes dealing pirate cassetes to,for GBA MD etc,so he can buy the origenal shit,Those people deserve the Bare Knuckle in the face,only while theyre beeing egocentric.My brother overs him vectorman for 5 euro,he says dont know it it has to be a shit game,How could he say that after having over 700 games,Boxed etc.Like he just buys em without having fun of them waste.Ill hope that k999 Mutant arm eats him up or breaks his geeky neck.if youre preffering nerds,mind setting him on 1st with his High voice and Geek laughs,at least i do.Enyoj games no mather the amaunt,if you have the amaunt while playing and loving them,you have a reason and the fact youre not geekish at al,unless considering yourself a nerd,which i dont prefer.But those who have 1000 without playing but have em for their ego,fuck those guys,they can get the Dubble Flip.I think i know how top post pictures only have to figure it out a bit. :D

[ary incorparated]

I dunno. I think hi res 2-D art is about the coolest thing. It' too bad you see so little of it. Games like the one pictured below should be more prevalent.

Yes but the genny and sort don't put out those resolutions is what I'm saying.

I that genesis or what is that,looks nice.BTW that dude with the Big nesss etc,If he is getting Demented soon and sales his stuff,im there. :D

[danielscheil]

on www.digitpress.com klick on room of doom and enter adol in the collection search...

what i find funny on the pictures is how loveless the games are placed...?
but god damm its a wonderfull collection

[Obviously]

To be totally honest if I could afford a collection like Adol I'd probably put the money towards better use than video games. I mean... that's just plain obsessive compulsive.

[David J.]

I told you how he got his money, but still I'd rather buy a new car by selling all of the shit games, if I had his collection. ;)

[ary incorparated]

Thise collections are outta handed,Why so much,Just to pet their ego or something,Man come on,buy with limits buy what you actually can play not an overdose.Like if youre the ultimate gamer and have to have everything like a obsesion then maybe youle get a quick death,Like look at those people sitting 24 hours Playing WoW thats just sad,then they die because their obsession and its their own dumb fault,Like Drinking beer,and you want more and more and more,and inventually youre live is gone,like people look at you as what you envy and people dislike you and going to call you names,like beer is fine but not to much because the fun is over then.people who have over like 1500 games and Buyed like more then 10 versions of the gameboy just for its rarirty and then even go outside the door and Pet they EGOism,those guys arent cool but geeks.Unlike you and i probably we just have over 100 Genesis and bought because of their quality or maybe for rarity,but that usual not overheaded.Like a dude with over 1000 consoles comes home and sits down and keeps looking for 10 Hour at his collection and the next keeps wandering what he is going to play the next day,Like his life is work and games,Work play,Work Play,Work Play,Death thats over sad.

[David J.]

Hey, I might sell a few rarities in a few years because I don't play them, and I can make backups of them, plus I don't like the games. So why keep them? Why in a few years? Price might go up, and the car I want is hopefully coming out in a few years.

So I'll have an even bigger downpayment. Only time will tell. You gotta have to compromise sometimes.

[Genesis Knight]

People often ask me why I don't have more games, but my answer is always this:

- I'm a student with limited resources.
- I have a life to lead, therefore I don't have time to play games all day.
- I'm going to need money a lot in the future.
- There's about 50 million things more important in life than video games.

That's why I don't have an XBox or DS or PS2. I have a Genesis because I like it, the games are great, they're cheap, and I can have fun with them without having to invest a great deal of time.

[Melf]

I just want him to share his MegaCD prototype, that's all.

Do you mean Burning Fist? I believe he agreed to have Good Deal Games finish it up and publish it.

[David J.]

Yeah, it's burning fists. WHAT?!?!!?

:shock:

Are you sure?

[theevilfunkster]

Just added this to my gaming room -

Positive. I heard it directly from Michael Thomasson himself!

theevilfunkster: I now officially hate you!

[David J.]

So when is it coming out?

[ary incorparated]

yeah but its only that difficult step across the line,Like if i sell my entire collection,i might be vuilty rich,but it is kind of hard to sell it.genesis knight i totally understand what you mean,that Monthly broke feeling,i have it to,when i earned my 50 cent in the netire month.Im just more into studying for a job,while working in a supermarkt partime. :D BTW theevilfunkster,with the nice TF4 avater can you actually play some rifs from Thunderforce 4 on those monster guitars. :D

[theevilfunkster]

BTW theevilfunkster,with the nice TF4 avater can you actually play some rifs from Thunderforce 4 on those monster guitars. :D

Actually, yes I can. Not very well though. I do a fairly good job on the intro tune though.

[Drixxel]

B.C. Rich guitars are pretty neat, and Warlock WHS's are no exception. They're a little over-the-top in terms of design, but it sure does look like a dangerous instrument.

[Adol]

In fact David J, YOUR attitude need to be improved a LOT.
You're just a "jealous prick" (using your terms), because you're not able to achieve things like i did.

You just said here: "Truthfully, he has a one of one Mega CD prototype, and won't release it to the world"

and guess what? I DID.

Now should i wait apologies from someone like you, or maybe you won't be a man and will not do so?

Stop being envious, just try your best, to achieve your goals, that's what i did for years...now tell me "how i got my money", i'm curious to hear that story!

[Genesisdoes]

That shelf has more stuff on it now, and is only a fraction of what I own but it still looks pretty cool.

[Melf]

What's the box next to the Mario doll?

[Joe Redifer]

His lunch?

[Genesisdoes]

lol. It's a pac man lunch box that I picked up one day at the flea market because I couldn't find ANYTHING else.

[Melf]

Sweet. I've always wanted a Donkey Kong or Pac-Man lunch box. :)

[lemmy_kilmister]

Sorry, no digital camera here, guys. However, if you're that interested in knowing what I have lying around then check my list here (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/showowns.cmf?userid=3268).

[Joe Redifer]

OK here's some low-light pics of my two game rooms (still getting used to the settings on my camera, so sorry for the graininess/bad white balance).

Old school room:

http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/01small.jpg
Looking in you can see the general setup and some games. I also have a Windows server in here that sits on the floor where it belongs.
The right speaker is hidden behind the computer monitor. It sounds great.


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/02small.jpg
A closer look at the table. I could use a better setup, I'm sure,
but it works. Everything except the NES and TurboGrafx are hooked
up in component video which is "teh awsum".


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/03small.jpg
Might as well show a closeup of the TurboGrafx-16 with CD-ROM.
It's better than a TurboDuo simply because it is far more durable.


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/04small.jpg
Bottom shelf, some Genesis games.


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/05small.jpg
Yet even more Genesis games.


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/06small.jpg
The rest of the Genesis games that are on the bottom shelf.
Looks like Lightening Force is about to fall off! I'm out of room!


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/07small.jpg
Top shelf, 32X as well as some Japanese Mega Drive games. Want to know what any of the Japanese games are? Just ask!


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/08small.jpg
The remainder of the Genesis games on the top shelf. The last game on the right is the UK version of Splatterhouse 2.


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/09small.jpg
Also on the top shelf is a small cabinet where I store my NES and SNES games and even the fabled Sega Genesis Game Genie!


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/10small.jpg
Along the back wall is a shelf
holding yet even more games.

Current school room:

http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/14small.jpg
I have my current-generation stuff hooked up to a Sony KV-34XBR960, one of the sharpest and best HDTVs ever made so far.
Shown here are the front 3 speakers and crap like that. Not shown in any picture: the awesome subwoofer.
The Xbox, Gamecube, PS2, and Dreamcast are all hooked up via component video and run games in 480p (for the games that support it).
A few Xbox games run in 720p or 1080i or both. I have yet to purchase an Xbox360.


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/15small.jpg
A shot of the surround speakers. That's right, no
home-theater-in-a-box for me! To the right you'll see
a shelf which holds DVD movies and video games.


http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/16small.jpg (http://pixelcraze.film-tech.net/gameroom/16big.jpg)
The bottom 3 shelves are dedicated to game crap.
Top: Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube. Middle: Dreamcast and Nintendo DS.
Bottom: Random junk. Click the picture for a bigger view.

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed the tour of my game rooms.

Joe Redifer: Do you cut the cardboard boxes of your Genesis and 32X games and put them in clamshell cases? It looks so, and it looks pretty well. Maybe I should ask my mother to help me with that :p.
BTW, why aren't the black and red series of Genesis boxes sorted?

[Joe Redifer]

The original cardboard boxes remain in the condition I purchased them, uncut. I scan them in at a very high resolution and then perform fixes for blemishes and color in Photoshop, and then I print them out on legal-sized photo paper and then put everything into a spare clamshell case. Games are now sorted in alphabetical order.

My room has changed since the pictures above. Here is how it looks now:

New paint, new table, new light, new shelves, old shelves ripped out, etc etc etc.

[David J.]

I need to take better pictures of mine.

I almost bought a glass shelf like that. Almost is the keyword. Good to see I'm not the only one who plays old school games with an comfy ass office chair.

[Joe Redifer]

They're definitely nice. I had an old, uncomfortable office chair before that one. When I got this one I decided to leave the arms off when assembling it. I don't like arms on office chairs. I cannot determine their purpose.

[David J.]

I'm indifferent towards arms on office chairs.

My seatbase really crapped out very fast, so my dad reupholstered it with corduroy, and it's holding out very well. The backrest is still in great condition, and has the orignal leather with little tear.

Very comfy... if I could get the seats out of my car, damn, I'd be really happy.

[Elusive]

Joe, where on earth did the After Burner II poster come from? I remember you mentioning it before.

[Joe Redifer]

From Sega of America a loooooooong time ago. I think it was $14. I also had a smaller Thunder Blade one somewhere.

[Melf]

Any chance of you making those 32X scans available for download? :D

[Joe Redifer]

I'll be happy to upload them if you want to host them, however they are (let me check)... uncompressed TIFF files at 400dpi and usually hover at around 60 MB each. I'm sure a compressed JPEG could get that size down to well under 10MB each. And you'll need legal-sized paper unless your printer can print close to the very edge of the sheet.

[metalliqaz]

omfg Joe, that setup is insane.
That After Burner poster is infinitely excellent, I wish I had one.

-d

[Reg]

I never get tired of seeing game room pics or collection pics. Never. It has become one of my fav things to set my eyes upon. Seriously. I about crapped my pants when I saw that one dude's collection on the first page. Nearly brought a tear to my eye. Stuff is freakin' BEAUTIFUL!!!

The rest of you got some sweet collections/rooms, too! I wish I had a digital cam. I've got two gaming rooms. The Modern Room is in my living room. Consists of the PS2 and the GC and all the games are on a DVD shelf. I play on a 27" TV. It isn't plasma but it gets the job done.

The Old-School Room is in my bed room. NES, SNES, Genesis, old Game Boy Games and GBA games are kept in there. I play console games on a new 13" TV I got a few weeks ago.


Man, describing it sucks. I need to post pics.

[David J.]

At long last, I got some game pics:

Looks cool, especially the Saturn collection, except from that grey box third from right. Strange that the NBA Jam for 32X had a plastic clamshell case :?.

[David J.]

Yeah, the Saturn is my pride and joy. That game looking odd is Sega Rally. I hope to get the loose games complete someday. And a new insert for Tomb Raider as mine is badly sun faded, maybe a new manual too.

All Acclaim 32X games have plastic cases, so it's not something that was bastardized.

[evildragon]

here's my SEGA setup.. just cleaned too..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/Evilweredragon/SCD32X.jpg

You see headphones plugged in because im listening to the Fifth Element soundtrack..

[Joe Redifer]

I thought that you routed your stereo audio away from the headphone jack and out the back of the Genesis?

[evildragon]

I thought that you routed your stereo audio away from the headphone jack and out the back of the Genesis?
i did.. but i wanted headphones, like i said.. ;)

EDIT: Wait, you think only the audio out on the back works, and the headphones are dead? no no no.. BOTH work, it's just the volume slider affects both..

[evildragon]

here's more pics..

What's to fear? Unless you have a Saturn, Dreamcast and Master System as well, you'll never catch up to me in Sega hardware.

[evildragon]

got a Dreamcast...

a Saturn and Master System are next on my list...

[Joe Redifer]

You'll also have to get (since they are hardware):

-Dreamcast keyboard
-Broadband Adaptor for Dreamcast (to surf for porn)
-Saturn Mission Stick
-Saturn MPEG/PhotoCD card
-Real 4 Meg RAM cart for Saturn by Sega (1 Meg as well) plus the KoF '95 cart.
-2 Sega backup memory carts for Saturn.
-Justifier light gun for Saturn
-Sega 3D glasses for the Master System
-Sega Light Phaser (SMS)

and if you don't have the following already:

-Power Base Converter for the Genesis
-Sega Back Up RAM cart for Sega CD
-3 button Sega arcade stick, as well as the 6 button


You'll never catch up to me! HAHAHAHHA!

got the DC keyboard, also have the VGA adapter, the other stuff, that would be a walk in the park.. I got a flea market here that sells Saturns gallore.. (just not the older generation hardware)

[Joe Redifer]

Yes, there should be tons of Dreamcast BBA's at the fleamarket for cheap. Get your hopes up sky high. :)

[evildragon]

i never said anything about the BBA ;) i've been hunting that sucker down, but the best I can find it for is 140 dollars at my flea market.. there's no supply and demand anymore, yet they are trying to get the cash from us XD

[David J.]

I used to have two Genesis systems out and plugged in, because I thought it was cool. My setup is kind of a pain in the ass - I have a heat register between my TV Entertainment Center and my shelving, and six AC adaptors alone for one unique video game system was kind of stupid - so I just have the Model 1 Genesis, Model 1 Sega CD, and 32X hooked up. I would have had the Model 2 Sega CD hooked up nowadays, but I barely play Sega CD, so I can live with using my Model 1 console 24/7. Plus I moved my Saturn right next to my Genesis 1 combo, so I needed the space. :D

I put my SCART splitter in one of the shelves in my entertainment center, and I am hoping to get a Master System in the future. Along with a Stereo Reciever and bookcase speakers.

I thought about buying a Toshiba TV like Joe's, but that'll be when my Philips shits the bed on me - my TV had some wierd geometry when I played in composite, and when I upgraded to component... it got worse, so I had to go in the service mode to make it normal.

As a result, my broadcast TV is a bit cropped off at places - you know when you watch a show and they have the network logo on the bottom of the screen, sometimes it's cut off all the way, and other channels it's not, it depends on the network. I could have gotten it perfect, but my service mode is weak when it comes to adjusting the screen.

Looks like a Master System to me.

[Joe Redifer]

Oh yeah, the fugly SMS 2.

[jesus.arnold]

yeah, I woulda got a master system 1 but i just don't have enough space for it (which is also why my megadrive 2 is in my room while my megadrive 1 is in the loft).

You know, I've seriously considered emigrating there after college, but that's a topic for a different forum.

[ary incorparated]

I dont have a picture of my rigg because my game collection is to big for my camera it will cost weeks to make some screens.

[Iron Lizard]

I'm only posting these because I finally cleaned up my freaking filthy room. (its still filthy)

Sweet colection i love the FatalFury cap, it's a must for a game colector:D i allso got one 2 weeks ago after 10 years of wanting one i finaly got it:daze:

[playgen]

I've got a brand new fatal fury cap spare if anyones interested.

[Genesis Knight]

Hehe, awesome security system. AKA the 'reach for my game, pull back a bloody stump' setup. And very tight tate-d CRT you have there, Iron.

[Iron Lizard]

I had to try out like 3 tvs until I found one that wouldn't turn purple when turned on its side. It was worth it though I nothing like playing a vertical shooter the way it is meant to be played. With Dreamcast, Saturn and Mame with a tv out there are many to play.

And yes I love my Fatal Fury hat. My brother was kind enough to let me have his. Now if I could only get his life size cardboard Shenmue stand up from him.

Old Zeus does the trick I think. We found him as a starving puppy eating garbage. Yeah he does the trick in my god awful neighborhood full of drunks, annoying college kids (also mostly drunk but at least they wont break into my house), people down on their luck, and many incarnations of scum. He also is becoming quite famous thanks to newspaper photographers who keep coming to the dog park we frequent.

My brother picked it up somewhere. One of our close friends made a few trips to Japan it may have come back with him then. Its the same place I got my mini G.I.Joe sized Sega Saturn from. He used to have a crazy good collection of import and U.S. Saturn and Dreamcast games. He go rid of lot of good stuff though still has his Panzer Dragoon Saga and the best of his stuff.

[Cinder6]

Here's the main room, taken a few months ago. It's a little messier now, and I added a 360 (along with some more games, and the second Gamecube has been moved).

[acdc]

People often ask me why I don't have more games, but my answer is always this:

- I'm a student with limited resources.
- I have a life to lead, therefore I don't have time to play games all day.
- I'm going to need money a lot in the future.
- There's about 50 million things more important in life than video games.

That's why I don't have an XBox or DS or PS2. I have a Genesis because I like it, the games are great, they're cheap, and I can have fun with them without having to invest a great deal of time.

your absolutly right

im with you

there are more things in life then only playing games go out in the world and explore it yourself not in a fantasie created world

[darkwingduck13]

Here's one shot of (most) of my stuff. I've got a 36" VGA monitor with all my stuff piped through a Viewsonic NextVision N6 upscan converter. You can't see it really, but all my carts are in a Rubbermaid drawer cabinet thingy off to the left-hand side.

[Parker619]

ohh cool setup darkwing everything neat and looks good all like that :D

[darkwingduck13]

Thanks, Parker. :) I put a lot of work into renovating the garage and turning it into my game room. That's just the console side of the room. The other side has my PC workstation and my Transformer collection.

[Iron Lizard]

Awesome set up. I'm glad in not the only one with a transformers collection here.Do you need the rest of those Transformers bedsheets? I have a set.

[darkwingduck13]

Thanks, but I have the full set of sheets. My wife actually took one of them and handmade a quilt out of it. You can't see it in the pics of my room, but it's usually folded on the back of the couch that faces my gaming area. :) Here are some more pics...I haven't shared these in any public forum section before:

Generation 1 Case, Beast Wars/Machines Case, and shelves with boxed items:

[Iron Lizard]

Christ my small collection is humbled. Wow that is amazing. All my stuff is just beat up g1 stuff.

[Rusty Venture]

I'm a child of the 80's and childhood viewer of Transformers and I never developed a adult love for them.

Same with G.I .Joe.

[darkwingduck13]

I guess I just never stopped loving them. Several of my G1 items are from my childhood...I never had many (most of mine were bought secondhand at garage sales and whatnot), but they stayed in the condition they were in when I bought them. The rest I've just gotten good deals on here and there, or else bought new or were given as gifts. I love robots, engineering, and science fiction, but Transformers in particular. Is it any surprise that one of my favorite Genesis games is Ranger X? :D I'm not very good at playing it, necessarily, but I love it all the same.

[acdc]

i got the dvd boxset from china in wood with all the episodes 99 and the movie with unicron fun to see once in a while

I constantly scour thrift stores and once in a great while they turn up. My wife brought me home a bag one time with Starscream, Thundercracker and Optimus. When I was in Sweden I found a few in the garbage. I never had many when I as little. They were to expensive. Though I will always remember getting Wheeljack on my 4th birthday and then Optimus on my 7th. Those were the days. Happy memories there.

Where do you play ? and how does it look like ?

I sold ALL my Pal games 2 or 3 months after this posting and decided to go deeper into "Japan" gaming. Very strange feeling to look @this again ( O__O )

Well I do know that Dreamcasts have a good chance of going tits-up...

[TmEE]

I just happened to get some DCs, and its always good to have a DC with different region settings :)

[David J.]

One I bought back in the day... The second one I bought because it had a fuck load of accessories that where worth as much as the system, and the third one was a gift... and is the Black Sports one.

[Youngie]

I understand & I like the sound of "back in the day".

[David J.]

I have to say it a lot. I'm 21, and my dad is 66, and my mom is going to be 54 in August... So hmm...

[war2thegrave]

Ok, i'll bite.

This is where i'm typing this right now.
I also play all of my current generation games here since all three current
gaming consoles suck ass.

Gaming room = my room. On a dinky TV with mono sound. There's a little chair on the floor outside of the left side of the pic.

I have other consoles in my basement on a larger TV, but it's always cold down there (no heating for it at all) so I have barely played anything there ever since I got this TV in my room. I have no pictures of there.

Yes, this was my Amstrad Sega Mega PC...
fully refubished and sold @ ebay a long time ago.
These pictures from me are very old.

My new room is more "multi" and my focus is now on japanese retrogaming
including Sega Mega Drive, NOT only SMD like @ this times.

[17daysolderthannes]

a Mame machine with only 2 action buttons!? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! "ah, who needs weak and medium punch/kick, all you use is fierce punch and kick for street fighter anyway!" When the day comes that I build a MAME cabinet, each joystick is going to have like 10 buttons to go with it so there is NO chance of a game I can't play from button limitations (including SNES, Genesis, etc.) Will that be busy? yes, but I plan to counteract that with a clever overlay system :) .

[Kogen]

Maybe he plays... two button games?

[17daysolderthannes]

Maybe he plays... two button games?

so he built a whole arcade cabinet to play...Asteroids? I mean, if you're going to invest the time and money (or alot of money) into a MAME cabinet, you should at least have enough buttons so you can play something made past 1987.

[Kogen]

Well he might have autism, too.

Doesn't look like too much money was invested. It looks like a two button control method was the original control scheme on the cabinet. Anyways, go ahead and post up your gaming setup.

OK

- not cool.

seriously though.

A) if its a 2 button cabinet, cut some fucking holes and add buttons

B) I will, I was actually thinking of making a youtube video showing off my collection since its all spread out through various rooms, but then again I don't want someone that sorta kinda knows me to see it and want to try to steal it for crack money.

Perhaps because the cabinet has a vertically mounted monitor.
How many vertical games can you name that use more than 2 action buttons?

You would do well to not pass judgment on others' accomplishments unless
you can prove that you have done better yourself.

Anyway, here is a link to my cabinet project.

it's not hate, its "lighting a fire under your ass", get you to do some flip in flip out shit per se (as owen wilson once said)

QQHHNXmtwxo

but anyway, I didn't see that the monitor was vertical initially (I honestly thought the arcade was off until i went back and looked at the picture). I guess its a little more authentic to have 2 buttons, but its just kinda like, why? when its so easy just to drill 2-6 more holes to make any game accessible. I also noticed you were going to go with an XBOX and then switched to a PC, why was that? I haven't tried to run MAME on my XBOX yet, does it suck for some reason?

[Metal_Sonic]

Remember kids, before you flap your gums, do you have all the info? if you dont, find out before you end up looking like a jackass. "NOW I KNOW!" and knowing is half the battle.

Well he might have autism, too.

Sigh Leave it to people like Spax3 to give all of us that have autism/asperger's a bad reputation of being over reactive, completely obsessed over one thing, being extreme nitpickers (Spax 3 and the voice acting saga), leaching off the government and then just generally acting like a jackass when called up upon by the internet community to calm down.

It makes it so all of us people who think just because we have autism/aspergers doesn't give us the excuse to leach off the government, act like we're the center of the world, be extremely rude to others, and expect special treatment from others look really bad. :(

But I digress, here's my collection. I'll post some pictures of my setup soon.
(Yes I'm aware of some typos in these videos, and for some reason while I was filming my Sega stuff the macro function was not working.

(videos removed, I'll be doing some new ones soon)

I didn't know Digital Pictures re-released Ground Zero Texas in the cardboard box. That's the first one I've ever seen! Probably even more rare than the Night Trap one.

For some reason, I thought that you were wondering if it was released
as a cd 32x game.

I guess I should have paid more attention.

Some awesome game room in this thread :p.

I think I'm going to buy some TV's and finally finish mine off after looking at all these, It's about time I had somewhere away from the wife and kid to play my games without being pestered ;). Not sure how many TV's I'll be able to fit in there with all the boxed consoles going on the same wall though :?

Great pics here guys. It's always cool to see everyone's gaming setups.

Since buying my house in October I've done my damnedest to try to make every room I can a sort of game room. Here's what I've done so far, though some of it is a work in progress.

That's my front room. The two cabinets shown are a Super Neo 29 Candy with a 2-slot Neo Geo motherboard. The cabinet on the left is a Capcom Q-25.

Family room with Hitachi 50'' pasma and Samsung 5.1 system. The Wii, PS3, PS2, and 360 are hooked up in there. A Neo Geo MV4-25 is in the corner.

I've still got some unpacking to do, but so far I'm pleased with my little basement hideout.

[InternalPrimate]

Can't tell you how jealous I am :D Great set up. Mine is very moderate compared, but I'll still try to post mine later.

Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words.

I can't wait to see pics of your setup.

I finally got around to making a video tour of my game room.

Damn. What do you estimate the value of your collection to be?

Impressive stuff Melf... I like how I was on the TV and I have the same dang TV! Get out of my mind! :p

I looooove it!!!! Your love for retro Sega really shows. Awesome!

[streetsofrage]

Melf how much did u pay for all those games ?

[Joe Redifer]

He told me once and I think it was $20 or $30. But seriously, does anyone really know how much they've spent on gaming in their lifetime? I doubt it. I estimate I've spent between 30-40k, but that is only a very rough and random guess with no actual calculation.

Anyway, that is indeed a really good collection. I never got to play Gunner's Heaven, so I am jealous of that! I've always wanted to try it.

I also like that you surf Sega-16 on your giant-ass TV. I also noticed that Astal had a spine label... exactly like my spine label! Heh heh. I suppose these days I could scan that and remove all of the background junk so the text stands out more. Oh what we had to do back in the day before graphic editing software!

deadpixels, that's some awesome stuff you have there. I need you to send me all of your games. I won't even charge you shipping!

[M4R14NO94]

I played it (the European version, Rapid Reload, but there is no difference), and it is actually very good as far as a Gunstar Heroes rip-off can be, but there is no 2 player mode, which sucks

Also, Melf, very awesome collection you have there! The Opa-Opa and the Crazy Taxi figures=WIN

I have to say that what impresses me the most about your room is how damn clean n' neat it looks. The red walls fits perfectly. Jolly good!

Every time I read the tittle of this thread, I think of that annoying voice from that Super 8 commercial.

Compared to those game rooms above this post, mine may as well be a closet. Well, it is, actually. Sorry for the crappy camera work, I had to use the webcam built into my netbook. I really need to get a new camera. :?

EDIT: The big, tall, shelves on the right side of the screen that show up occasionally have my games in it. It is much too dark in the shelves to show any pictures of it and I didn't want to mess with the arrangement of the games. Also, where there's the dark void where the NES and SNES are, there's an N64 hiding in there.

[Deo]

Nothing special

Whats the name of that song in your video Naves?

[NavesRegge]

Whats the name of that song in your video Naves?

I do believe it is "Fox Boogie." It's from Fallout 3 and is played on Galaxy News Radio. Just search for a list of GNR songs and look through the few instrumentals that are there.

I also made another poorly done video of some of my games. Mostly carts, sadly.

-k1Wj9OfzxE

I think my face may have shown a little in this video.

[gamevet]

My setup:




What console it that? It looks very familiar, but I can't remember what that was. It sort of looks like an Emerson Arcadia, with a different name.

Nothing poorly done about it, except the music... :mad: Sorry. Why not say a little about them, if you're going to show them one by one.

[QuickSciFi]

^Two thumbs-up to NavesRegge for posting his vid. :D

...'Thought I'd also follow the tradition of the pic-to-vid format transition seen in this thread. Lol.

Here's mine:

[Karakasa-Obake]

Mine isn't anything special. It used to be really nice and cozy, but I just had a mattress as a bed at that point. I got a loft bed(for whatever reason)as a combined gift from some of my relatives. It was a nice thought, but now I barely have enough space for all my consoles and whatnot. I wish I would have taken a pice of my old setup, it was great. Anyways(Sorry about the camera) :

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I don't know when a good time would be though, as I can't really make any plans right now.
BTW, my setup is crap. There is a huge jumble of wires under the desk, and I barely have any room for consoles. You should post some pics of your setup!

[QuickSciFi]

^Alright! That was awesome my friend. Great Sega shrine you've got there! I can feel the spirit of SEGA! And Nintendo too. Lol. :D

[jms5118]

here's a video of my collection, not the best quality(don't own a digital camera so can't do pics right now).

What console it that? It looks very familiar, but I can't remember what that was. It sort of looks like an Emerson Arcadia, with a different name.

Sorry I only just now noticed your post. Better late than never. :lol:
That system is called the 'Radofin 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System'

The info on this is that it was first made by Radofin in Europe in 1976 and was then licensed to other companies to make their versions in other countries.
These companies and their countries are:

Radofin (Germany and other parts of Europe)
Hanimex (Australia and parts of Europe)
Fountain (Australia and New Zealand)
Prinztronic (United Kingdom)
Lansay (Parts of Europe)
Grandstand (United Kingdom and parts of Europe)
Audiosonic (Parts of Europe)
Acetronic (Parts of Europe)

You mention that it looks like an Emerson Arcadia,
You're not far off there. Apparently the Arcadia shares a same type of processor and some other parts, but AFAIK, I don't think the games of this system are compatible with the Arcadia. I stand to be corrected on that though.

[TmEE]

Mess or not, still a nice setup there Karakasa-Obake :)

[Karakasa-Obake]

Thanks man. I try to organize it, but stuff always ends up falling and whatnot.

[David J.]

I forgot about this thread. You still unable to make plans dude? Would be cool to meet another Sega-16 user!

[adamx]

man I too forgot about this thread ima have to take pics of my setup.

[Karakasa-Obake]

Possibly sometime in a couple of months. I'm moving to another house and stuff going to be pretty hectic for a while. Don't think I forgot though :D

[Guntz]

Does anybody here care to see my gaming setup?

[NavesRegge]

Does anybody here care to see my gaming setup?

That depends. How many flamethrowers are there in your game room?

EDIT: Oh, and here's some new pictures of my "Game Room." An Atari Flashback 2 and Sega Saturn has been added to the family. And, yes. That is a "Sonic the Hedgehog" Atari 2600 cartridge. It's fake, of course. But, you can play Sonic the Hedgehog with an Atari 2600 joystick.

[Guntz]

I don't have any flamethrowers in my room. Unless you count the potential fire hazard of all the hardware I (as well as my older Brother) have connected in this one little room. I don't think all my stuff is on a main circuit breaker, but my Bro's is. I also can't remember if I use any surge protectors or not.

[Nick16]

I forgot man, but I hope to move haha.

This is a rather bad photo showing all I have on the electronics side. The problem? Just like NavesRegge, I have to use my netbook's webcam because I don't have a camera of my own. Also, what you can see there at the right is my arm

My desk, which is rather messy, featuring the PSP Slim and the original, can't-see-a-thing-not-even-in-daylight (Segagaga Domain FTW) Game Boy Advance. What's not shown are the two games I own for it (Mario Kart and DKC2)

[OldSchool]

I understand, it's just that once you get used to having a nice tv anything less is a letdown.

Lol... the same can be said for getting used to PC Gaming early on. Once you go PC you can't go back.

I've gone PC and I rarely go back to it.

Hmm, you said you "rarely go back to PC" so this surprises me.
