Enjoy the timeline and picture. I live in Brooklyn too, unfortunately not enough space for everything I own and want.
Wow, not that many people out there put such devotion into video game console collecting. You deserve this smiley! And welcome to the boards! Hope you enjoy yourself here...
Being a video game nut you sometime go all out collecting for awhile you'll amass plenty of duplicate carts. Unfortunately they begin to pile up and make a mess of everything. When I first started collecting, I kept getting the same old carts like right now I have over 20 some Pac-Man games And these carts with the rest of the collection. However, at some point I had more duplicate carts than carts in I collection, so I had to weed the duplicates out and store them anywhere I can fine space. Just like potato-chips "Can't Just Have One" and it go the same with old and new game consoles, in my quest in collecting games and consoles I some time get more then one of the same game consoles like 29 Atari 2600 units to 5 Dreamcast units. I got them edar in second hand stores that I had to get them in order to get the games that goes with them or some time friends just give them to me.
Hey i think you're missing the... oh... wait... nope how about the... nope, you've got that too... Do you have a.... oh, i see it in the left corner... Awesome collection man!
Even with consoles I have I still need to fine more Japanese games and Im wondering if you can halp me fine some import games from Famicom to MSX. Can you help?
Here's just some of the best games I pick from all there other 1000+ games I have from Atari 2600, Intellivision and Colecovision to Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox games. I have the rest in my storage in the other room cuase I really wanted to have all display but dont have room for them
Some one ask me that out of 170+ game consoles I have even with the new units like Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox wicth one I have to pick just one of them my anser is The 1977 Atari VCS also known as The 2600 hands down!
For more then 20 years I had alot of things I have handle in life but notthing more then holding many controllers from alot of classic to dated video games. And here I have two tabels full of my collection of game controllers, joysticks and game pads. And I know foe some of you true die hard gamers you had to at one time played with some of there controllers one time or a other so lets start looking at some of the list of controller of the past starting from the first PONG paddle game contol to today's Xbox game pad. (BTW if you dont see the controller that you know you like to see then I need like 5 more tabels cuase I have way too many)
What are the black controllers with the red ball top joystick and the rainbow buttons? Amazing collection, Im jelous. But do you have one of these!?!?! http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Reviews/fps_master_controller.htm I took it out of the package and never used it once :banghead:. Perhaps someday that tutorial will get finished and I can make it better.
