The Game Shelf

So this is the big one.  I love this media shelf.  Super cheap from Big Lots and really meant for dvds, but works great for games. The shelves have never drooped or sagged on me like the mid sized one that holds the Nintendo carts.  Its pretty well organized, but the lower we go the less things start to make sense.  You might also see that I almost never take off the price tag stickers.  I'm debating on whether or not to go through everything and carefully remove the evidence of what these games cost me.

 Lets start with the SNES - N64 boxes, also some Gameboy things:

The next two get covered up by the little crevasse on the side there so I took them out.

These are boxed GBA, DS and 3DS games with some Wii games.  Notice "Lego Indiana Jones" in there, handy for homebrew.

Heres the start of the Sega Master System games.  I'm a fan of Action Fighter, but I guess the best one in there is Phantasy Star.  A bunch of 3d games here as well to be used with the 3d glasses.  I've never tried the glasses because I don't have a tube crt tv handy.

Continuing on we have more SMS and now some Genesis carts.  I may have been more into Nintendo as a kid, but the packaging for Sega games was pretty great.

Some games of note here are Streets of Rage 3 and TMNT the Hyperstone Heist. Both are relatively rare and really fun.

I have a weird relationship with Sega CD.  I both love and hate the games and machines at the same time.  Quirky, sometimes fun, better soundtracks, no copy protection, the list goes on.  Lunar: the Silver Star is the rarest of the bunch

Rare? Not rare?  These are actually pretty cheap on eBay.

                                     

It seemed like Gamecube games were never in thrift stores for years and years.  Then all of a sudden there were a ton of them every week.  By the time I had an urge to start picking them up the supply dried up and now it seems like there are none out there anymore.  

Most of them are in their jewel cases, but a few have some used Gamestop cases (in terrible condition with what looks like the same guy's handwriting in sharpie).  So I guess they're not loose... but not boxed... poor guys...

And now on to the miscellaneous section.  Some newer Genesis finds, some crappy Sega Saturn sports games, random Xbox stuff (notice Splinter Cell, needed for softmods), and boxed Sega 32x games.  Blackthore was a pretty good find. 

Heres a Playstation thingamabob.  Makes your console region free and... does other stuff.  Directions all in Japanese.

Complete with crazy spring thing.

Towards the bottom we get to the Atari shelves, all loose.  I've had many chances at boxed Atari games and systems, but for whatever reason I never picked them up.  Usually that reason was a lack of funds and the knowledge that I won't play these games.  I'm planning on going through these shelves soon and removing all the doubles.  Multiple camera angles are used to try to move the glare a bit.

I had a Vic 20 somewhere, but no Odyssey2.  These are some loose games and some Atari carts that are missing their labels.

Atari 7800 games!  My favorite Atari (although I've never owned a Jaguar).  7800 games have a definite "look" and the machine plays 2600 carts as well.  Pretty snazzy backwards compatibility there, Atari.  Next to these are ten or so 5200 carts, but there are only labels on the face of the carts, like N64 games, so they don't photograph well.  I'll do a separate post for those all laid out.

And at the very bottom (thanks for sticking with me to this point) I've got Intellivision, Colecovision, and some Commodore 64 carts.

The next things to take pictures of will be 5200 carts, loose Genesis and 32x, maybe some Dreamcast games.  I pulled a 3DO out of storage and grabbed 4 boxed games.  Then theres that GBA store display to plug in and get some pictures of it all lit up.
