My gameroom console display
More Cowbell:
A while back I started collecting consoles with the intent of filling a display case with them. Well, I soon ran out of room in the display case so I used another blank wall to make this display. The consoles are as follows...
Unisonic Tournament 2000 Pong - 1977
Atari 2600 - 1977
Intellivision - 1979
Emerson Arcadia - 1982
C64 - 1982
TRS-80 Color 2 - 1983
NES
GameBoy
Playstation
I don't plan on going any more recent than the Playstation and if I run out of room, that will be the first to go. I would still like to add an Oddyssey, Original Pong, Colecovision, Genesis, and Gamegear. The handheld electronic games are pretty much placeholders and fillers at this point. My wife offered to make up little nametags for the front of the shelves for each unit. I may also put Atari games or the handhelds up in that blank area above the shelves. Other thoughts for making it cool?
Jdurg:
Do you have any of the original boxes or packaging? It would be pretty cool to see the packaging for these systems and then the systems on top of that. Maybe even include a screenshot or two of the consoles in action, print them out on a nice photo-printer, then frame them up below each system.

I have a few of the boxes but they're pretty beat up and they are all huge. I like the idea of the screenshots. It will just be a matter of fitting them in.

How about a digital photo frame that runs pics of all the systems, accesories, screenshots...?
Very nice display. :applaud:

I think the Intellivision is the best one there! :applaud:
The Merlin, along with the Mattel handhelds, really adds a lot to the display. I think I had all but one of them including the racing games up top. I thought that before I even read your post. I'd definitely leave them in there.
My only suggestion is to move the PS1 an inch or two to the right to hide the L bracket.
I'd give it a 10 out of 10 and ask when is the party for us? ;D
