The Video Game Critic

Okay, gang, I'm new to the forums here.  I have paged through and not seen this question asked, so if there's already a thread out there that I'm repeating, go easy with the flamethrowers, okay?

I saw this guy's room online: http://www.vidgame.net/room/room.htm(wow!). We can't all have storehouses like this guy's got, but I'm sure many here have solid collections.  So I'd like to know: what systems do you have hooked up?

For my part, I have a neat (well, I think it's clever, anyway, and it sure was cheap) storage "solution" consisting of two sideways milk crates wire-tied together.  The top one is divided into two comparments with some dowel rods and a wood/cardboard shelf.  This houses all my connected systems, switchable by a combination of a four-way selector and an automatic RF switch.  It's not the perfect setup, since stereo sound is defeated, but we just moved here six months ago and most of our stuff is still in boxes, so lighten up, would ya?  Okay, I have:

Gamecube
PSOne (well, a PSX, not the compact model)
xBox
NES
Genesis

There's another PSOne (PSX, whatever) connected downstairs and a plug-n-play Konami joystick that runs NES roms in my son's room.

Additionally, we've got a GameGear that was stationed in the living room with an adaptor, used for playing Columns (mostly) and Sonic Chaos; a GameBoy SP belonging to my son, on which he plays a bunch of games; and I've got a GameBoy Color for zoning out on Tetris.

I have another Genesis in its original box, an Atari 7800 in its original box, and a four-switch 2600.  These don't get much play, but sometimes we bust out one of the Ataris for fun.  My wife is a KaBoom! master. 

We don't have a PS2 and I don't really want one.  We don't have a Dreamcast but I sure wouldn't mind owning one.  We don't have a DS or a PSP and that's fine by me.

How about you?  What do you keep hooked up?  Have you got anything boxed?

Welcome to the forum. I've been collecting for years but live in a small apartment, so only a few of my systems are hooked up; right now XBOX, PS2 and GENESIS. I have, boxed, all ataris- 2600, 7800 and 5200. Intellivision one and 2. Super NES, Sega master, SATURN and PSONE. I also have most old 8-bit computers like C=>64, Vic-20, Ti 99 4/a, COCO 3, etc....

Most are in boxes but I can play them when I want. A lot are stored on my huge game "kiosk" of sorts, made out of parts of an old carnival concession stand! I have nearly 1,000 games now.

These are the systems I have hooked up with a number of system selectors.
Xbox
Neo Geo CD
Neo Geo Aes
Dreamcast
N64
Ps1
Gamecube
Saturn
Jaguar
3DO
Atari 7800
PS2
Turbo Duo
Snes
Nes
Sega Master System
Genesis/Segacd/32x
Xbox 360
I hope to get a few other systems and hook them up also.

PS2
Xbox 360
Gamecube
SNES
N64
Plug 'N Play Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man

BigOldCar started a "what systems do ya got" thread! Oh no! C'mon boys, GET EM'!!!!!! HEAD HIM OFF AT THE PASS!!

Just kidding (-:

We're a friendly bunch here. There's just one gentleman who insists on being insulting, usually after you say something nice about Wii.

My setup:

Xbox360, Wii, PS2, and a Karaoke machine.

Some of the setups I see on this thread are pretty tremendous...

Ah, yes!  The GameBoy player.  I forgot all about that thing.  It's been attached to my 'Cube since I got it.  While I do use it from time to time, I tend to forget that it's there.  Then I see a playerless 'Cube and it looks kinda squat, not truly cube-shaped.  Yep, neat device.

Off-topic:  I wish GameBoy games didn't hold their value so damned well.  Everytime I go trolling for used carts, they're like $15-$20.  Then I go over to the used xBox section and see xBox games at $9.99.  I think, "What gives?"  This is down side to backward compatibility.

I'm presently staying in temporary lodgings, so I just have a Genesis hooked up.

Normally, I have the following hooked up via 2 Pelican System Selector Pros

PS2
Xbox
Dreamcast
Saturn
Genesis (with Power Base Converter)
GameCube (with GBA Player)
N64
SNES
NES

Ahh, system setups... how I love hooking a bunch of things up to one TV...

Alpha Setup: 50" HDTV/5.1 Surround
PS3 (plus plays PS1/PS2 games)
XBox 360
Wii (plus plays Gamecube games)
Xbox (for all those non-backward compatable games)
PS2 (for Guitar Hero 1/2, DDR, Taiko Drum Master games)
Dreamcast
Saturn
Jaguar
SNES
Genesis

Beta Setup: 25" SDTV/Stereo
Gamecube (with GBA Player)
Dreamcast (for lightgun games)
N-64
PS1 (for lightgun games)
Sega Master System
NES
Atari 2600

Plus, from time to time, I pull out the Atari 7800, Atari 800XL, or one of the Pong-clones (Hanimex/Telstar/Odyssey/Radio Shack).

Then there's the handhelds...but that's another topic.
