The top floor game room in our house is dedicated to classic video games.
The centerpiece of the room is my Atari 2600 collection. I've managed to fit it into one wall unit, custom made from oak, particle board, and 196 interlocking Musicmate cubes. It holds 784 loose games, around 80 boxed games, 40 controllers, and 9 systems.
A close-up of some of the loose and boxed
games. I generally don't collect the boxed ones, but I do keep some
of the interesting ones that I come across from time to time.
One of the systems is hooked up to my childhood Zenith TV for reliving my wasted youth.
The shelves pull out for easy access to the various 2600 systems, joysticks, and misc. controllers. Game manuals, catalogs, Activision patches, and other paperwork are kept in binders for quick reference.
A few of the rare games in my collection, including Music Machine, Malagai, Cubicolor, Quadrun, and prototypes of Dumbo and Pepsi Invaders. Here's the full list of the games that I have.
My Mame cabinet is set up to play arcade games as well as Atari 2600 games. Which version of Pac-Man would you rather have spent your quaters on?
