Hello and thank you for taking the time to view my gaming stuffs. Pretty pic heavy, so i'll spoil them.

I have 4 children, so there is quite a bit of DS / Wii stuff that they enjoy, though they do enjoy retro and arcade just as much.

I enjoy woodworking as much as I enjoy the gaming hobby, so I have found a nice way to blend both of the hobbies. All shelving is custom though things are still not the way i'd prefer as far as display - like many gamerooms, it is def. a work in progress.

Now...stuff:

SNES / SFC / NES / N64:

Wow, that's a massive collection. Looks to be very well organized. That's gotta be the most complete PGM collection I've seen.

I'm a huge fan of the PGM stuff - so so good. I grabbed a consolized unit w/4p support awhile back and found that it was a really convenient way to enjoy all those 4p beat 'em ups.

NBA Jam and Claw Machine are in the garage. The Astro awaits a test-chassis from Roger and "hopefully" will be back in order soon. The Blast died and went w/part out over knock-off chassis after looking for the 2931 for a couple months...then see one go for $150 just this week :/

Yeah, your setup looks great! The shelving, organization, all of that.

Hopefully you get the cab sorted out soon... you've had the worst luck of anyone I know with cabs, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

It looks like you have protective cases around some of those boxed Super Famicom/Super NES games - where did you get those?

The custom shelving is something I really wish I could do myself -definitely jealous! I think it took me about 2 hours to drill 4 holes and move a shelf on a pre-built bookcase so my shockboxes would fit. :lolz: It would be cool to see some zoomed-out photos just to get a feel for the room layout, too.

The arcade cabinet is all home-made too?

Awesome collection and great shelves!

You can get SFC box protectors from videogameboxprotectors.com

I picked up several hundred for all my SFC games.

It took a 2nd loaner chassis from Roger to get it all sorted out - but finally worked it out, and Roger is selling me this loaner, so i'm good to go. Got to play some Mega Man: The Power Battle on CPS2.

Yeah, got the box protectors from the site linked above - on top of making the games "pop", it really does help the box to keep it's structure. Custom protectors for just about every mainstream box are available.

The wood cab, yes, a custom job. I always look for ways to blend my woodworking hobby with my gaming, and a wood cab seemed like a cool idea. The control panel has (2) Multi-Console Cthulhu's, meaning the CP works on DC/SAT/NES/SNES/GEN/PSX/PS2 and others. The monitor inlay is a square 34" x 34", which allows for it to be "TATE-able".

Awesome on two counts! Roger is a great dude, and he told me last night he was selling you a chassis. Really glad that something like monitor issues didn't drive you out of the hobby; I was concerned that might happen. Glad you've got it sorted out! :)

Doubly awesome because you've got Megaman going... SUCH a fun game! Is that a Phoenix/conversion, or original? What region?

It wouldn't have driven me out - but it certainly would've been a bummer and i'da been cab-less for a bit, I do plan to grab a couple more next spring.

MegaMan is an original US battery blue board and yeah, the perfect game to get back into it - quick easy controls and great visuals.

Added my newest item, a custom sit down or stand up station made of Mahogany and Birch, plenty of storage, on casters, and built in advance w/a hollow control panel (to bury wires) and a frame for a soon to mounted and "bezeled" plasma tv.
