Great collection. Are you not a big fan of the current gen consoles, though? You're collection is beastly except for having little to no current gen games.

 

[goldenpp72]

I like your setup Gintoki313, do you happen to have a set that is capable of using lightguns at all? Not sure if you're into that genre but when I build my own game room, my biggest concern is how I set it up in a way that I can get optimal video quality while also being able to play my lightgun shooters..

 

[Yes Boss!]

Damn Irish,

That looks amazing.

I especially like the Powerglove! I'm thinking about doing something similar but getting the Famicom version of ROB as a gameroom ornament.

ah, the pics were just for the retro threads...it's grainy, but if you look at the top shots of the overall shelves, you should see all the Wii-U, Wii & 3DS games, and on the black shelf onna right, the first shelf is all PS3.
i admittedly sold a large # of my 360 titles when i got onto steam as well!

thanks man! yeah, i doubt either the glove or R.O.B. work (actually i'm certain about the latter; he was $20 on ebay because he'd been gutted for parts, heh) but that's okay, gaming on a plasma means lots of things like zappers/etc wont work at the moment, and as you said, i just wanted him as an ornament anyway, heh

Excellent collections, GAF! Love this thread.

Here are my pics.

Background: PC/X360/PS3 owner. This gen, X360 was my system of choice, but I bought PS3 only for exclusives and games that are noticeably better on it than the X360 (FFXIII comes to mind).
Overall, I'm really happy with all the machines and I enjoy gaming to the fullest.
...backlog am cry, though.

So here we go, the X360 collection:

Next stop, PS3 games:

And to the right of the PS3 games, Xbox 1:

PC retail games. The black box next to Dark Souls: Durante Edition is The Witcher 2.

And I'm closing this with Steam:

The main cupboard in the living room.

Really nice shelves and very organized. I never really liked the european/Japanese ps2 white spines but I've got to admit they look super nice lined up.

 

[deejay]

Not much to show these days

 

[Data West]

Genesis boxes are the best boxes of all time. Them or NeoGeo

 

[Auto_aim1]

@Irish, amazing collection. I'll post mine in a bit, too lazy to take tons of pics.

 

[Data West]

Something I've noticed lately, there seems to be a decent portion of Gaf that just straight up doesn't mess with handheld games.

I never owned a handheld. Don't know why honestly...
I am (SERIOUSLY) considering buying a 3DS XL and/or Vita in the near future. Then again, I'll be upgrading my PC to Haswell in Fall and next gen consoles are on the horizon so I don't know if there will be room for handhelds.

 

[FoxhoundNL]

The games on display on my book shelf was getting a bit out of hand. So I recently cleaned up/organized everything. It's nothing much, but I'm still proud of it.

I'm trying to find some older GBC/GBA/NES/SNES games, but boxed copies are hard to come by nowadays, don't like paying more than a few euros for cartridge only copies.

What remained on the bookshelf - Mostly games I want to (re)play/finish before next-gen comes around.

My current gen stuffs - PS3, Vita, 3DS.

My boxed older stuff - MegaDrive, SNES, PS1, N64, GBC, GBA, PS1, DreamCast, PSP, NDS, PS2, GameCube and a PC game.

Cartridge only shelf - NES, SNES, N64, GB. Also some older consoles/handhelds.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

showing off is half the fun ill post my stuff here in a bit

Some man-cave pics. I've sold probably 60-70% of my games over the past few years but have bought a new car, PC and home cinema set-up with the proceeds.

Wow, MadmanUK, I love your displays, especially that one with your handheld. (And wow, you have like 4 fat PS2. ;_

I want that MSH vs SF poster!

Lots of nice collections here, it's beautiful!

Seik ima rob you <3

Some of you guys are killing me. I was so close to selling off all but the 5-10 games I absolutely love for each system, but some of the shelves ypu guys have are glorious.

For those of you who own like 10 games: do you just play the same games all the time? Rent a lot? Not play games much?

For those with 10,000 games: how often do you bust out the old stuff? Do you ever hate yourself? I own like 250 games and sometimes get so disgusted I want to sell em all except the few very near and dear. But then something tells me not to.

I play old stuff (GBA, PSX, Saturn) on a regular basis.

I get out the older stuff (NES, GEN, N64, SNES) when my blood shows an augmented alcohol percentage. It's funny because most of the time I take a minute to look at everything and be like ''Daaaayuuum'' and start to looks at boxes like Killer Instinct, SoM and Chrono Trigger.

Then I look at my friends and I'm like ''SEE GUYS, THIS IS A REEEAAAL GAME!! NOT SHIT LIKE FFXIII'' *Holding FF3 (VI)*

EDIT: And no I don't hate myself, au contraire, it feels so good and convenient to have every games you'll want to play at hand.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

some nice collections here..will post some of mine once I get back from UAE

for now:http://steamcommunity.com/id/Alcoholikaust

Will do when my stuff isn't scattered across the house.

Maaaaaan old school stuff is the best when you're tanked.

How many arcade sticks are you up to now? Last count I heard was like... what... 40-50?

I have just over 1000 games in my collection and I have spurts of heavy buying where I buy a lot of older games and then quiet times where I don't buy much at all. The times that I buy the most are when I am away from my collection for any period of time, like now waiting to move everything is boxed up and I'm browsing for something to add to the collection. Months when there are a lot of new game releases I don't collect the older stuff. I always buy intending to play though there are games that I haven't opened yet because I'm not in the mood.

For those of you who own like 10 games: do you just play the same games all the time? Rent a lot? Not play games much?

I've actually purchased a decent number of games in the past few months, it's just that none of them have held my interest. When I finish a game though, I almost always sell it, since I very rarely replay games and I prefer to only own things that I have some sort of emotional attachment to, and there are very few games I've played that are anything more than good entertainment. If I really have the desire to replay something I no longer own, games can always be rented or bought used. I have the same approach to books and movies though--I have a bit of envy looking at these photos, but all in all, I dislike being surrounded by stuff.

Never understood the idea of "hating myself" over owning a library (I don't get quite the same reaction to my book library as I do my game one). Whenever I'm in the mood for a certain game or type of game, I only have to look for it and start playing it. I couldn't do that if I only owned a handful of titles that I'm currently playing.

I dislike being surrounded by stuff.

I love being surrounded by stuff, so it always amuses me when people tell me I'd be much happier if I sold it all off and lived a minimalist lifestyle. For me having no stuff is not freeing. It brings me comfort and joy having all my stuff around me.

I have about the same amount of games that you do, however I never get disgusted. Quite the opposite. I love to sit down and be nostalgic, have a look at some games and living some memories. Feeling proud over the collection and remembering how each and every game has a story to tell and has some amount (small or large) of influence on my life. I don't understand why anyone would hate himself for owning a lot of games. It's a hobby or even a life-style to be a gamer. We also live in a world where consumerism is necessary so hey, we, the collectors, are what drives our society forwards.

pictures and stuff

Those Zelda paintings are really cool. I have a whole bunch of Zelda posters; Ocarina of Time 3D, Skyward Sword a huge Twilight Princess poster and also that enormous fan art that was posted online some time ago, but it looks so much more professional to frame them like that. Hopefully I'll do the same when I move somewhere bigger.

Respect, man, respect.

It's fun to see your collections guys, I knew some of you had a lot, but seeing the real thing is great.

 

[MarkMan]

lol, I'm not sure if you're trolling me or not? I'm at over 365+ last I counted (a few months ago). I add new ones to the collection every month.

 

[eXistor]

Quick 'n dirty pics, turns out they're blurry as shit, sorry about that. Still looking for a good website to catalogue this stuff.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I always want to join in but most of mine are poxed away and would be a pain to get them all out.

 

[Correctomundo]

Someone post an extensive Final Fantasy collection pls.

Love seeing that shit lined up.

I didn't include the original NES FF because it's two states away from me currently. I realize it's not "extensive" by any measure, but I'm not really a huge FF fan. Still, it was interesting seeing the games that I have all together.

 

[Alucrid]

sorry for the massive post

 

[Yes Boss!]

Wow, great stuff in here!

HEAVY HITTERS.

You guys inspired me and I'm spending a few hours this morning cleaning a reorganizing my little collection.

One day we will get to see MarkMan's entire stick collection. I can't imagine 365 sticks. Good lord!

I have to know, where did you acquire that Nintendo shelf/sign?

I know I have a decent collection, but it feels so underwhelming in presentation compared to what you guys have.

Soon as I get my own place and can spare a room for media/entertainment, collecting everything there, and gonna put it all on display.

 

[megalowho]

Not complete (most older stuff is packed away, PS3 stayed with the family) and by no means a collector, but here's what made it to the end of this generation in boxed form for me:

[Animal]

I love this thread and the people in it.

 

[Neff]

Posting because I just passed the 700 mark and running out of storage in a bad way.
I pretty much just started collecting for PS3, but there's like twice as many games for that I still need.
Mostly Nintendo and Sony, Sega in third, and one Xbox game (Panzer Dragoon Orta).
However, apparently this means nothing and I'm "part of the problem" according to Cliff Blizzinsky. He's sort of right because I don't own any of his games, I guess.

x2 perfect hyper combo finish

 

[Square Triangle]

Some REALLY impressive collections. I just hope most of you have home owners insurance lol

 

[kamspy]

Every gaming related thing I own now is on a 1TB Seagate HDD.

Kinda bittersweet. I've owned every console and handheld except for Vita, 3DS and Wii U. Of those, the only one I kinda want is a 3DS. But the thought of buying any platform without full length games for $5-$10 just puts me off. Went to price a 3DSXL and ended up close to $350 with just a couple basic games.

 

[Brinbe]

Awesome pics. Inspiring me to clean up and organize all my scattered around shit.
