/vr/ - Retro Games

Imagine dedicating your whole wall to consooooming plastic. Cringe

>>7478954
I wish I could have a collection like this, I don't make enough money however so I settle for ODEs. I think it's a good compromise to at least have the real hardware.

>>7478958
what are you doing with your walls mate?

>>7478958
Thats a sweetass room tho

>>7478954
I know for a fact most of that shelf is shitty games. Having gone through the entire Library of both systems.

>>7478963

i own like 6 consoles & no actual games for any of them. Thanks alvro

But now India-kun lose his shit and spam this thread.
>it cost more than only 2000 rupees? >WRAAAAAGH BLOODY FPGA BASTARD HOW CAN SHE HIT

>>7478954
Ba... hold the fuck up a sec, are you playing that collection with a 16:9 stretch on your CRT!?!?

>>7478954
>hey, anon, let's play Zombies Ate My neighbors!

>>7479661
>implying any of those games ever leave the shelf
I guarantee you the only games he's ever played out of that entire collection are mario bros for 15 minutes before he got bored, and chrono trigger so he could take a picture of the room with it on the title screen

Took a long time and a little work but it was all worth it

>>7478954
These things will kill retro OniOn boys and keep your house from looking like a pawn shop. I don't get the need to display shelves full of games. It looks bad. This isn't an arranged photo and isn't my retro stuff, but the point stands. Drawers>Shelves.

>>7479764
is that turok i see in ther?

>>7479772
I think so, hard to remember, been playing off a flash cart for a while.

>>7479778
i never found out what happened to my copy. i emulate though. still good stuff

Apologies for the shitty pic but here's my little childhood GameCube collection.
I guess the highlights in terms of rarities are Paper Mario, Chibi Robo and Four Swords Adventures.

>>7479661
you can remove the first 10 games on the left and then slide the back games over.

retard much?

massive collections aren't particularly interesting because they don't tell me anything about the person's taste in games

>>7479828
What order are they in?

>>7479554
More like covering them with cum, and the grime from your unwashed hands.

>>7479754
only lesser men who fear the wrath of their wife's boyfriend would ever feel the need to not display a collection of the thing they enjoy. Drawers are fine for protection, but not if you are using them out of cowardice

>>7479554
lol faggot

>>7479751
hows your mental health?

>>7480224
Well I don't hoard rotting plastic so pretty good

>>7480345
Interesting. What causes the plastic to rot then?

>>7480360
unironically light and oxygen. real men collect paper

>>7480369
Maybe you should get a house or apartment. And leave the sahara. Just saying.

>>7480394
I've tried but the government doesn't let me.

Small ng collection. Everything else is mister emulation

>>7480418
nice one!

>>7480418
>big box
>good games
>peak of pixel art
Truly the gentleman's choice in retro collecting.

>>7479950
>you can remove the first 10 games on the left and then slide the back games over.
retard much?

>>7478954
you wish you could see mine, OP's pic pales in comparison. Sadly, I am paranoid af because of the amount I have (museum of video games has shit one me, at least the Frisco one) one day when I am older, and safer I will post.

>>7478954
$1000 in gameboys

>>7478954

>>7478954
As cosy as it would be to have a large collection like that, having that much plastic around is retarded, you might as well have shelves full of gasoline in open containers. If your house catches fire it will go up like the Hindenburg

I have every single Gameboy, GBA, master system, Nintendo, super Nintendo and mega drive game ever released and they all fit on a tiny usb flash drive, which was the only thing I paid for and cost about 10 bucks

>>7480582
the old model kits were so cool, I remember asking my Dad buy some off eBay for me when I was younger
I remember the rush jet one and I think the others were from X4

>>7480636
nice, post pics

>>7480418
>Small ng collection
why do neo geo collectors do that weird humble flex

>>7479778
I tried this but i cant get off unless its the real cart
>>7478981
Thats true too, theres only a couple games per platform really worth wasting time with

>>7480854
this
yeah i get priced out of your earthbounds and your harvest moons and your paths of radiance but im happy with what i have

>>7479672
What does he really play then? Newshit?

>>7478954

>>7480840
By neo geo standards, that genuinely is a humble collection. I've seen ones that cover entire walls.

>>7480076
No order at all

>>7478954
What is the best place to get shelves like yours? I feel I've enough ps1, ps2, ps3, some ps4, original xbox, some gamecube, ds, 3ds, some psp to fill a wall.

>>7480582
I think this guy likes mega man

>>7481032
Where's the edit of him in an empty room with just a single computer sitting on the floor

>>7479554
Cringe.

>>7480024
Where were you when some boomer faggot started bitching and whining because of my small, curated coomlection? kek

>>7480582
I know this isn't your photo, but are there pics of the megaman battle network stand?

If it's emulatable i'm just selling that shit to onions collectors for triple price unless it's a literal top 20 game for me

>>7479661

>>7480582

>>7479661
Ya, not gonna happen dude, this ain't my room, i only made this thread to piss bernieposter/australia kun off, with his rotting plastic neurosis :D

>>7480156
based, but bordering on cringe

>>7479828
You have Paper Mario..I am so jealous.

Here’s my Gamecube collection. A little bit of everything

>>7483209
A complete guess but I'd wager he actually means "anything I liked playing as a kid"

where do you find collectors of PS1 gold discs and various old developers copies of games

>>7479754
im honestly leaning towards doing this with my games but still displaying some of my favorites/often played games on my shelf.

I really wish I had this much autism

>>7479764
>blade runner on VHS
i have such a hard on for 80s vhs tapes with drawn covers like that. just watched that movie for the first time in like 8 years recently.

Here ya go

>>7480156
Nah man, I just don't like the pawn shop chic look. My wife enables my hobbies because I chose a wife who is a human and not an NPC from an 80s sitcom.

I could put them up on a display shelf in literally any room of the house but I don't like the looks of it. It holds no nostalgia for me to see a large shelf of games. I remember going to rent games from the NES era onward but there is no draw to look like a video rental, pawn shop, or "retro mancave" or anything. I just don't like the look.

>>7479661

>>7479576
Incredibly based

>>7481597

nice

>>7482346
i loved gamecube and dont care who knows it

>>7480582
>when adults become turbo children
wow

Most of my gamecube and nintendo stuff is in storage, but still keep the PS2 stuff nearby.

Also holy shit why is Silent Hill expensive now?

>>7480582
>all mega man games
>bunch of toys and shit
>games are complete in box
I like this better than the wall of cartridges in OP's pic. I mean, I have more games than that on my hard drive, who gives a shit. But this guy has a whole Mega Man museum. You can tell if he wants to play Mega Man on NES he doesn't move around some toys and unbox a pristine NES game like an asshole. He plays the rom.

>>7480582
I'm OK with walls of video games, but this tacky plastic shit is unbearable.

>>7484317
gonna try this again. who collects ps1 gold discs and old developer PCBs for SNES and NES. I'm seeing a few forums and deprecated posts but I'm not getting a solid line on where you could sell a lot of review copies or master copies.

>>7479576
Cringe

>>7479554
Sounds like an aesthetic disaster

>>7484739
Setting up a room to look like a retro video store would be cool though, much more interesting than your typical coomllection. And to look like a store you need to display the boxes. I'm pretty sure the dipshit with the huge cartridge bookshelves can grab any of those games and play it faster than I can load the rom. Very efficient but it doesn't matter because you know he never plays them.

Imagine having all that dying hardware taking up actual space in your fucking room in 2021 when perfect/near perfect that's good enough not to even matter exists and all that and fucktons more can fit on a fucking tiny drive.

Here's my collection, lads. I'm $60 invested so far.

>>7485050
Yeah, I'm definitely not serious about shitting on collections and such, I just prefer drawers.

There's a story out there where a family recreated a blockbuster style shelf for their kid who was legit autistic, not 4chan autistic. It was a pretty heartwarming story that they did that for him.

>>7485105
Literally have this exact 36 inch beast of a TV sitting in front of me right now

I post this so emu-cucks will continue to seethe.

>>7484914
>playing the original game cartridge as intended
>asshole

More then likely he just has a loose copy he plays

>>7485096
yeah just throw all that perfectly still functional tech into a landfill, thats the mentality all humans need to have

>>7485096
lol dying?
nigga this shit will outlive the lifespan of any of the new consoles people are killing each other over to get

>>7478954
I wish I knew someone like this so I could smash their entire collection to pieces with a baseball bat.

Watching whoever owned that collection squeal and cry as it was all crushed to pieces in front of them would just be the pinnacle of existence. I would jerk off to it for years.

>>7485096
The usual poorfag cope

Tiresome

I hate game rooms. It feels like such a waste of space and money and they always seem so autistic and manchildish. It reminds me Pat The NES Faggot , he's almost 50 and his game room looks like a 10 years old's. He literally mentioned on his podcast how he's brought girls over to his home that cringed at his stupid game room.

>>7486048
u mad

Assorted childhood games, never interested in selling them really. I'll keep them until they rot

>>7486076
>He literally mentioned on his podcast how he's brought girls over to his home that cringed at his stupid game room.
Imagine hating the concept of a game room because you're an incel (aka mad simp).

You're right, we should all just bow down and sacrifice our hobbies to the almighty vagina, because it is she who defines our self-worth, not the things that we actually enjoy doing in life.

Fuck any stupid cunt who doesn't respect your interests. They can all jump off a cliff if they think what I have fun doing is cringe.

Here's my ps2 stuff. Americans seem to hate the pal boxes for ps2 stuff, but I like them :3

>>7486076
>I hate what other people do with their time and money
Commie tendencies. Re-evaluate your life.

>>7486105
More of a fascist tendency but okay

>>7486108
Take your meds

>>7478954
I don't share my collection with anyone nor do I want people near it. It's in my workshop and it stays there.

>>7486076
go back and seethe in your bare walled, empty cube

>>7486048
it would be even funner when the person grabs the bat from you and does the same thing to your skull. or just shoots you. hopefully not lethally, but just enough that every day after you wish you were dead.

>>7486129
u mad collectorfag?

It could be you.

>>7486089
>bought new from store
The only based collection

>>7485223
good games

>>7485096
We make fun of collectors for paying huge markups just to play games when they're free on emulators. Being concerned about the amount of space a collection takes up is true povertyfag tier.

>>7486428
Unless you live in Japan. But yeah a small physical collection on a single bookshelf is not wasting that much space

>>7478954
Do you have a full index of every game on that shelf or is that just someone else's picture?

>>7486076
If you actually looked decent and had some charisma, girls won't give a fuck about your game room. I've fucked my girlfriend on the floor right in front of my crt and consoles countless times.
Hit the gym. Get other hobbies on top of gaming. Get a job. Go to school.

>>7486089
why do you only have one n64 game, anon

I wasn't going to post this because i didn't want to embarrass you all with my collection and real-life friends, but fuck it.

I'm single btw ladies.

>>7484953
lmao

>>7478954
that's too many

>>7481597
that's because you only have enough money for 20 games

you are poor and fat

>>7478954
how do games hold their value, compared to the dollar $$$$$

>>7486048
Where did daddy touch you?

>>7478954
How long before a nes cartridge fails to boot?

>>7487441
T minus 67 minutes

>>7487441
the rom itself is indestructible, the mask rom is always fine it's just the contacts that are all fucked up.

>>7487382
Pretty well considering the dollar's been going down the shitter for over two decades

>>7487464
that means games should be increasing in value relative to the dollar

>>7487472
They have. Plenty of nostalgic middle age men are buying their childhood memories back now. With boxes and manuals they're fetching high prices. I bought my doom big box when it was like 20 dollars, no its anywhere between 150 and 500 dollars on Ebay.

>>7486048
>What Is Malignant Narcissism?
You're a faggot australia kun.

>>7487337
Legit can't tell if this is somebody's room or a retro games store

>>7488243

>>7478958
Seethe you subhuman

>>7488548
I see lots of cardboard and plastic. Not much fun.

>>7488552
peepee poopoo i win

>>7479754
tons of great games in here, solid collection holmes

>>7488552
I sometimes look at my shelf and smile. Then I go back to 4chan.

>>7480582
gross

>>7478954
It seems you prefer quantity over quality.

sometimes consider developing a 'halfway' retro setup where I have the consoles just on neat display under my TV, but unplugged as I don't want any horrid wire clutter or electrical hazards and have the leads etc stored away somewhere if I do fancy a game of whatever
no physical games or anything either. just sd/usb carts with the roms

Just started collecting Mega Drive. How am I doing?

here are my blue spines.

>>7485223
sexy,

>>7478954
Why does these thread always have seething poorfags ?

Why does everyone who has a game room look like a giant faggot? Same people that get video game tattoos *shudders*

>>7478958
True and Blackpilled anon but there are worst things at least

>>7489657
Its just a byproduct of the rule change, it attracted tons of /v/ kids to this board who dont give a shit about quality and I've been seeing some habits being picked up by the users here that wouldn't fly in old /vr/ such as:
>having a weird obsession with appearing "normal" and successful with a wife and kids hence why he doesn't take retro games seriously and brags about it
>bringing up non retro games, or worse, vtuber autism
>thinks games aging is a valid criticism on the fucking retro games board
>also thinks made up words like "artificial difficulty" are valid as well
>weird obsession with "onions", even though I thought the meme was that eating raw onions boosted testosterone. Perhaps it's a result of the younger generation being repulsed by masculinity overall
>elitist about emulation and always brings up "hoarding plastic" at every opportunity, probably can't even define "hoarding" when you ask him to. Most likely attacks youtuber strawmen in his head
>needs to form every opinion as some sort of tldr hot take, because the only way to get anyone to read your post on that fast as fuck board /v/ is to draw as much attention to yourself as possible even if it means spewing a bunch of retarded nonsense
>bragging about flipping games on ebay
>lives and breathes console war faggotry to the point of fighting over systems that came out before he was born, bringing it up in places it doesn't even belong
>and of course the inevitable wojak/frog posts
Like, this shit wasn't seen anywhere on the board before the rule change or had the user in question dismissed as a flaming faggot if he did this. So in other words, if you see someone participate in one of the gay points above there is a 99.9% chance youre talking to a LARPing zoomer from /v/ and everything they say can be dismissed accordingly.

>>7490847
True. /vr/ went to shit with the rule change.
There is no substance to posts anymore, only /v/ zoomers/poorfags shitposting because they are buttmad jealous of people with disposable income living it.

>>7490847
>>weird obsession with "onions", even though I thought the meme was that eating raw onions boosted testosterone. Perhaps it's a result of the younger generation being repulsed by masculinity overall
Are you joking or are you not aware that onion is a word filter for for pic related?

>>7490957
So are you telling me that /v/fags are actual newfags who dont know about a word filter that's been in place for almost 3 years now and don't try to bypass it with soi or söy etc.?

>>7480582
>shitty American boxes on full display
>Japanese boxes are filled away
Western collector memes have rotted his brain. Awesome collection otherwise.

>>7491116
yes, are you genuinely not aware of the fact that half of the people on the site aren't even +18? This is a site where the most popular topics are cartoons, video games, tv shows and edgelord/schizo politics.

>>7487337
>cib AND loose cartridge collection
This is where I draw the line

>>7488697

>>7490613
Self portrait of you and your faggot buddies (wait - my mistake; you don't HAVE any friends), cum drinker? Imagine actually conflating one of the legitimately most edgiest shitlords on the Internet with that image. Don't know what you're talking about, do you? Or am I talking to some pansy bitch far leftist here? Got you mad, did he? SEETHE, you pathetic little cunt. Cry until you drown in your own tears.

i think those might be the games from the CIB's. they probably took them out of the box so they dont damage them everytime they take them out to play them. still autistic tho

Exactly... I’m trying to get my kof game up when I have extra cash here and there

>>7491194
how the fuck exactly does this trigger you? So someone could only collect one or the other, but a mix of both is somehow a war crime?

Here's how the current Master System collection going plus some more blue spines in the back. I won't be collecting any more retro games this year.

There are still a few titles I'm looking for - I'd really like Power Strike II, Symphony of the Night and Probotector.

>>7493282
nice collection, but the famicom disk laying out like that hurts to see

>>7493291
It is excessive. Truly the act of a degenerate hoarder.

>>7493305
So let me get this straight: someone has been collecting SNES games since it was current, got new games maybe for Christmas and birthday, picked up used games at Funcoland the rest of the year or traded with friends. Somehow thats a problem? Because thats literally how 99% of game collections were in the 90s.If little Bitch Bobby threw out his box to pokemon blue as a kid he now has to decide to only buy loose games forever more or re-buy the game or else he is an excessive cunt? By far the most "what the actual fuck" take I have ever heard regarding game collecting.

>>7493317
yes. The choice is simple; paper or plastic?

Can't have both anon. Its goes against the laws of man and god.

>>7493292
Nice THE SYSTEM collection you got there. Would be a shame if someone would rename it to Master System.

>>7481592
Is this yours? I like the Okage standee / poster in the background. Playing through it right now.

>>7493324

>>7493750
Yeah this is mine, I love the Okage standee too, the guy I bought the figurines from sent it along with it, love that game.
