ookitarepanda collection

I refuse to be shown up by an impostor panda. Here's a spreadsheet listing all my games, if you want to look at that, too. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/40057770/Panda Collection.xls

Here's the video I'm submitting for 68k's thread:


New Astro City and Egret II. Both have long, long histories.




The ESPGaluda II isn't mine, but I liked the picture... Similar to how Akai Katana isn't mine, but still, nice of them to grace my cabs for good picture ops.




I keep my arcade PCBs in ESD protective ULine boxes since their warehouse is right by my place and they have some good quality materials. The boxes with no labels are for Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label and Mushihimesama Futari 1.5.




The MVS (some with shocks, some without)





A supergun that Kiel made for me with Bee Storm in the PGM. I hook it up to my Sony PVM20. Kiel, Poodude, and I all got PVMs for cheap from a local used medical equipment warehouse. The guy there is super cool and let us take these for nice deals.





Console stuff. I have a lot to say about all of this, but I will let you gaze however you'd like.












If anyone uses photosynth, here's the most recent (that is, February 2012) photosynth of my gaming room:

I love your setup brotha! the pandas are a nice touch

Nice stuff dude! How do you output video/power on your supergun?

Nice.
You might want to consider investing in a little compressed air.
or a swiffer.
or whatever it is that people dust with these days.

looks great but yeah gotta get out the rag and start dusting

Dust...? My shelves are pretty clean...

Nice! So these must be the REAL treasures of Panda Island!

original panda collection is no panda cave.

nice job though. (even though you are transmorphers to real pandas transformers).

Great collection!

Panda why are your frames not level.

Great looking collection Panda. My screen resolution must not be that great, cause' I don't see the dust either. Lol.

Very impressive, love all those shooters, nice button box, organization, cabs, artwork.. all superb...

...but where is the saturn!?!?!??!?!

Great Cabs !
Very nice , I like your Uline boxes as they look a lot like the Corstat I use and the games in there like the CAVE shmups , Batrider and Raiden are awesome .



Lol at people that see picture noise as dust !

Killer setup OG Panda! I just got the same ULine boxes, perfect for modern single layer PCBs. That's a great lineup of arcade, classics, and modern systems. Now I know I'll never catch up to your PS3 trophy list.

One thing I didn't talk about in my video (maybe another video sometime) is about my history with Sega. Growing up, my brother and I were after Nintendo stuff pretty hardcore. He was born in '83, me in '87, so we really grew up on original NES and I especially have a love for the SNES. It was between the SNES and the 64 that we got a Genesis. We had fun with a number of games, but I didn't really play many of the real Genesis greats except for Sonic, Streets of Rage, and everybody's favorite, Eternal Champions. No Shining series, no Landstalker, not even Gunstar Heroes or Castlevania Bloodlines, really.

When the 64 was announced we were so hyped for it. I could have very well been just like the Nintendo 64 kid, except that my parents bought it for my brother as a Bar Mitzvah present. By that point, I had put Sega systems and games on the backburner, which is hard to understand for a lot of people who grew up with Sega stuff. Meanwhile, down the street, a neighbor not only had a CD-I where we played some shitty boxing game and the Zeldas, but also a Game Gear and Saturn. His pick of games were sort of retarded, so I didn't think much of the Saturn.

In fact, I was so turned off by it, that I skipped over the Dreamcast when it came out, opting to wait for the PS2. Of course, now a little bit later in my life, I have been able to go back and fix some of the holes in the collection, with that glaring Dreamcast gap. I love Giga Wing. Shenmue was epic. Zombie Revenge is sweet. Typing of the Dead is something truly wonderful. Illbleed, however is not. It must be, seriously, the worst game I own.

So yeah. Some day I might change focus from arcade stuff and backlogs from the past couple generations and get into Saturn and Mega CD stuff.

Great collection!

Labels on the jamma board boxes are self made?

Damn nice setup "PANDA", you definetely win in this regiem

Love your cabs.

Extremely cool lineup of games

The Egret II is an officially convicted Murdercab. The New Astro is just the official murdered cab from Kingsley/coinopstore.

Seconding this. I had my eye on those same boxes, would love to be able to get some labels made for them.

Yep, awesome Kingsley group buy.
