Sorry....kind of a dark photo. Top shelf of the computer desk on the left. Snake is decked out in dark urban camo so its kind of hard to see him in front of the black game cases.

If it had been a snake....instead of "Snake". :wink:

Jesus Christ I have the biggest boner I have ever had!!!! No way this thing is going down in 4 hours. Great John, now I have to go to the ER. You will soon be getting the bill, asshole.

Seriously, I do not know why I collect. I mean just in "shelve sag" I'm beat.

Sadly none of my collection is currently on 'display'. Boxed, awaiting a move...

And for me it's more of an accumulation than a collection. :/

ouat I bought some originals from a guy named Rob... (Strat has seen some; for now, further deponent sayeth not.) I also have an awful lot of old tournaments and manuscripts (roughly shelves 4' wide 8' tall, full). Kept a lot of stuff that TSR dumpstered. Hard to display that kind of thing, and bulky and heavy. Sigh.

ps - Pain, I see you keep the false Basic atop a shelf far from the real BECMI. Kudos. ;> (Every author looks for his own stuff, y'know.)

Kingofpain you are missing an Intellivision to round out your nice collection there!

The Intellivision is on the second shelf from the bottom on the right. Although I don't see the Intellivoice addon.

Yeah, I wouldnt put the fake one anywhere near the real ones. It's still in the shrinkwrap and odds are it will remain that way until someone else owns it.

Its just not hooked up. It is in a box next to the Vectrex. If you start with the photo where I first mention the consoles and go from top to bottom, left to right, I have the following:

Colecovision
Dreamcast
Sega Saturn
Sega Master System
Panasonic 3DO
Atari 7800
Sega Genesis, CD, and 32X combo
NES
Super Nintendo
Atari 2600
Atari 5200
Vectrex (middle shelf above TV)
Sony Playstation (shelf just below TV)
X-Box
Turbografx 16
Nintendo Gamecube
Nintendo 64
Intellivision
Odyssey 2 w/Voice module

And no, I dont have a Virtual Boy. Those were awful. Although I probably would have one if my nephew hadn't sold his in a garage sale years ago. The only system I still want, but dont have yet, is an Atari Jaguar. And right now I dont want one that much to bother with buying one. :wink:

If you get here early enough for NTRPG Con, you can come by the house and play any game you want (unless its a Sega CD game that is....the darn thing stopped working a couple of months ago

I am downright scared to show this to my wife, lol. I don't think it has dawned on her that the consoles I have been quietly acquiring are a budding "collection".... yet.

I like the breadth of the interests, especially since it includes novels and toys in addition to modules and video game systems.

Thanks much for sharing!

I keep looking at my stuff and thinking I need to downsize too - most of my video game collection, Doctor Who VHS collection, and vintage computer (SuperPet, TRS-80, M68000 prototype boards, etc) top the list.

Looks like a ball with pins stuck in it.

Also what are the items on the shelf just below that one?
A cup, a mug and something enclosed inside a case...

NICE Display!
I am green with envy...

Those are Star Wars prop replicas from a company called Master Replicas. As somebody mentioned, the top one is the Jedi training remote. The smaller one underneath it is a thermal detonator. So yeah, I kinda collect Star Wars stuff too, though I recently trimmed that down a LOT.

Hi,

one of the biggest "talking points" on our booth at Gencon last year was a Heroquest game on tape cassette for the Sinclair Spectrum.

obviously a lot of interest in that sort of thing.

Cheers,

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

I noticed the Sabers in the cases on the top of some shelves.
Did not make the connection.
NICE... and thanks for confirming what they are.

Some sharp folks on these boards.

Not to stereo-type us, but I am guessing a bunch of us have a lot of similar interests outside of D&D - old game systems, sci fi classics, etc.

In the spirit of keeping real...here is my collection - currently in storage. There are five or six more plastic tubs that are not pictured.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
