iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Fort Knox comes to my mind!!!!!! What a great collection! But heck, where are the protos????? Edited July 9, 2009 by iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Great pictures, thanks for sharing them. I'm glad you're putting that AtariProtos banner to use. It's a shame you didn't actually fire up all the computers and the arcade cabinets for these pictures. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I forgot to take pictures of my upstairs game room where the rest of my collection resides (this was just the basement). I'll do that tomorrow. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hmn... can't wait for the upstairs. This may match my collection or surpass it(depending on what is upstairs). With what I've seen so far its coming close. Got any Kiosks? AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

128bytes Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 If you weren't already engaged, you might find yourself getting more offers with that stash OK, maybe not, but if you're having the reception down there, there are plenty of people who would like invites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Ok now the upstairs. Sorry for the bad angles on the pictures, but it's hard to move around in the room since I have so much crap in it. Establishing shot of the entertainment center and bookcase (out of date now): Bottom of entertainment center (Neo Geo MVS, Saturn, and Genesis with Sega CD and slightly askew 32X): Middle of entertainment center (SNES, Dreamcast, PS2, Turbo Duo): Top of entertainment center (Gamecube, Turbografx & PS1 Games): Top of entertainment center (Dreamcast Games): My Apple IIe (my original from 86) and Amiga 1200: Close up of the Apple IIe and games (IIe and IIgs): Close up of the Amiga 1200: Atari 800XL and MSX: Closet with Neo Geo (MVS in shockboxes), Saturn, Genesis, and Sega CD games. There's about a foot and a half of closet on the other side that you can't see in this picture: Posters on my wall: Marquees: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Simply Awesome I feel like Monk in the episode where he walks into someone's garage and everything is arranged exactly how he would do it: It's beautiful! (for those of you who don't know who Monk is, he's a detective with OCD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thank you--these are the kinds of shots that I love to show my wife. "See honey, I am not as crazy as this guy!" Seriously, though, what a great collection. Nicely displayed, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for those of you who don't know who Monk is, he's a detective with OCD) Yeah I'm sort of like that. I like everything to be nice and ordered. I'm limited a bit by space and finances, but I do what I can. Ideally I'd like display cases and more bookcases, but there's simply not enough room.

+thanatos Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I started on the CoCo, so I immediately recognized you had a CM-8 monitor with it. (Fairly hard to come by nowadays) And then I saw you have the original box to both the monitor and floppy drives! I didn't even have those!

Tempest Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I started on the CoCo, so I immediately recognized you had a CM-8 monitor with it. (Fairly hard to come by nowadays) And then I saw you have the original box to both the monitor and floppy drives! I didn't even have those! Are those hard to come by? I got those when I traded off my N64 (you'll notice that I don't have one in those pictures). I never really thought much about it until now. The only thing I recall about the monitor is that it took me about 20 min to find the monitor port on the CoCo 3. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
