Retro Video Gamer

I posted some of my pictures elsewhere on these forums, and will try to collate them here later, for now here's some I liberated from my garage today

My ZX81

Another pic of my ZX81 with the 16k "wobblepack" ram addon

I also found some of my ZX Spectrum games in a big box, here's a few I managed to fish out as the box is still on a high shelf..
Note the unopened Horizons demo cassette for the Speccy 

And a Wonderswan

My Games room shelves

Getting there! 

I also found my Sega Saturn in the same box as the ZX81, just have to find the leads now

Cleaned up my N64 and put it in my games room

My ZX Spectrum 48k in its custom case

And a MegaDrive2 with slightly torn box...

Very nice!

Wicked little Speccy case!

Some of you may recognise this obscure and barely supported console

Another view of the orphan console 

Some more Sega love here

And yet more Sega love, but I can't find a joystick or tv lead for it anywhere so far. Anyone got spares 

And now a little Commodore appreciation with the Amiga CD32

All of these consoles have been collected over the last 12 or so years, when I moved house with my wife 9 years ago we put my stuff in the garage to sort out a little later. 9 years have gone by and only now are they getting to see the light of day again. Most of the pics up to here are of consoles and computers taken out of my garage today, I won't plug them in until they've had time to dry out any damp and get up to room temp for a few days at least.

I have at least a couple of games for everything you see, I found a box of Dreamcast / Saturn / CD32 and other games which has yet to be sorted out and cleaned down. So there's still more to come yet. 

Nice rounded collection 

And today was the day for some more garage sifting...

More Dreamcast games came out of the garage than I thought I had..

I recently bought some Mega CD games including Road Avenger and Sega Collection which both hid themselves in the garage (Road Avengers twice for a total of 3 copies doh!!??)

Really Cool Doug!!!!  :113:

I just got a glass tv stand and it is big enough for some consoles. 

Ah, CRT's.  :P

I like my crystal Xbox, and the 360 is there for my daughter to play on rather than on my main 360. Hopefully she'll stop nagging me to let her use my 360 with the risk of her screwing my live membership by being a silly teenager on it.
I take it you're OK with the others though Vyo? 

I like it Doug! Just in the U.S. we like are TV's on the left side of the stand

Agreed! I don't see a Jaguar there!

Thanks for the replies everyone.
@ Laird - Jaguar will get some love soon, will be swapping them around periodically.
@ onthinice - I would say that you Americans get everything wrong, but seeing as I loved my Pontiac Firebird with its L/H drive and would buy a '73 Corvette if I had the cash that would be a lie lol

There seems to be space for the Jaguar between the 2 Microsoft abominations on the bottom shelf 

I'll see what I can do Laird, is Microsoft worse than Nintendo or Sony or on a level though

I do own a few Ninty machines

Today I've been cleaning out my garage properly, loads of crap in there but also some interesting finds. I found 3 Amigas (not to be confused with the comedy genius? that was the three Amigos) 2 were A500 and one an A1200. 2 Playstation 1's and various controllers. A Megadrive 1 console with the Master System convertor in the top of it (the old UFO styled one).
I also found an Acorn Electron, BBC Master, Gameboy and some games, and a Commodore 64 but with no power supply for it.
Joystick wise was a bit lucky, I was bidding on some Quickshot Joysticks on Ebay but not winning as I wasn't about to pay too much and I only wanted one because I'd had one years ago, and there was one hidden in a box in my garage.

.

I also found an Atari Woody with a broken corner, so now I can swap the guts into my non working one with good casings 

I think you need to clean your garage more often! 
That's a lot of stuff to find!

So here's the Atari and Megadrive with Master System Convertor

and another one I'd forgotten I had in there

Nice!

I quite fancy a 3DO 

I wanted a 3DO and obviously at some time I bought one lol. Now I have to find a controller as the original one is there but has badly corroded at the plug

Some shelving went up today for some speakers when I sort them, and some of the games

Thanks for sharing, Doug! 

Bought a couple of games today while I was out with my wife.
