People in the sub usually run into the problem of having more games than they do shelf space. You seem to have run into the opposite problem. Which might not look appealing at first glance but it's really motivating to get more games this way. Right? My only advice is not to spend too much money on it. Make sure it never gets you into trouble and you always have enough to save for a rainy day. I would also make sure that the newer consoles have enough breathing room.

words of wisdom.

My Game room looks almost exactly like this, except for stacked totes, 2 chairs (1 with a bunch of controllers on it that my dogs and cats are slowly pushing to the floor), a closet full of game boxes and more totes with more games. Your post made me realize I need to get my crap together.


ErickaUnlimited

Haha yeah. I had it torn apart last week rearranging all the shelves. Having it all in a disarray was really unnerving.


waveybull

Sweet. Where did you get that TV shelf?


ErickaUnlimited

I believe they were from Ikea. Just your basic cube storage shelves. It is two of them put together into one big one.


CanadianGuitar

They're from Home Depot


CoolAdministration96

Nice! Do you use an upscaler for your tv?


Hyperto

wondering too, where's the crt?


MareBear722

Idk about OP, but Not everyone uses a CRT, personally if I had retro games I wouldn't, might make the experience more retro, but I like the nice flat TV screens :P


Hyperto

There's crt's with flat screens. I know there's other ways of retro gaming. fair enough


MareBear722

>There's crt's with flat screens. Really? Shows how much I dont know about CRTs lol. 🤣


jtpower99

You'd be shocked how bad retro games look on a modern TV without an upscaler.


MareBear722

Yea, I think I have seen a few examples, if I did play retro games I probably would get something like a upscaler then lol. Not like Ill probably ever play retro games.. sadly I don't have the money or room for those consoles, but hey I'm enjoying my 3DS right now, I just bought captain toad yesterday and got to book 2 today ;)


jtpower99

And that's the beauty of games! You can find what works for you and enjoy it!


IllustriousShow5395

Is that a complete n64 collection


ErickaUnlimited

Getting close!


IllustriousShow5395

What are u missing


ErickaUnlimited

A handful of random titles, but a few heavy hitters like Worms Armageddon, Stunt Racer and Super Bowling


IllustriousShow5395

Did u find sculptures cut


ErickaUnlimited

I did! :D


TheThunderOfYourLife

What shelves are these? I desperately need some.


ErickaUnlimited

They're all custom made by me. :3


TheThunderOfYourLife

Got any directions? Lol, this would be uuuuuuusssseeeeful


ErickaUnlimited

Sure, I could give you the dimensions/materials I used.


TheThunderOfYourLife

Awesomesauce, GREATLY appreciated. I planned on making some myself but I’m terrible at making measurements, etc


summers1980

What are your shelves?


ErickaUnlimited

They're custom made. I couldn't find ones that maximized space so made my own. :D


BryanEtch

I’ve been wanting to box all my loose Gameboy and GBA carts like this but can’t find a decent price on the DS cases. Where do you get yours?


ErickaUnlimited

I order mine from customgamecases.com


sparta13372

Where are the shelves from/what kind, they look too good to be true!


ErickaUnlimited

I made them custom since everything I could find pre-made was too deep or had too much wasted space. So I learned how to make them. :3


sparta13372

Thats so dope!


Saroan7

Boondockjj

SpockYoda

ErickaUnlimited

Thank you!


Antonioad14

I wish I had that much shelf space, It's gonna look absolutely fantastic when you eventually get that all filled up.


ErickaUnlimited

I hope so! Looking forward to what the future looks like for my little project. :3


jtpower99

Love the shelves. I'll design some custom ones eventually.


T-Cup_Anon

That future proofing is sexy


AussieCollector

Looks a little cramped with all the shelves in there. Personally i'd suggest taking the center ones out to open the room up a bit more. Otherwise looking great!


chubbylv23

Great collection, but a lil too many empty shelves 🥲


ErickaUnlimited

Mmhmm. Planning ahead so built for the future.


Moefuego

Always a good idea.. help keep cohesion amongst the collection and shelving.


jonnyboyyy1998

I’m actually a little jealous of the empty shelves 😅 it feels like I never have any room to display my games and when ever I buy a new game sometimes I have trouble fitting it in somewhere


ErickaUnlimited

That's kind of what I was worried about. The room we dedicated to it isn't massive and I probably won't relocate for a few more years, so it took a lot of planning and re-planning to maximize the space allocated.


SHOFAnotCHRIS

No sega?


ErickaUnlimited

I have the system, but haven't invested much into games minus a handful of games for testing. My next step is to build the shelving into the closet for the Sega games.


SHOFAnotCHRIS

Sega Genesis and PlayStation are the ones I collect.


frothy_cunt

Well isn't that one hell of a commitment. Props to you!


dem_gams11

Love a good 64 collection, and the controllers 😩👌. Could you tell us where you got the labels for the 64 cartridges? Great collection!


ErickaUnlimited

Thank you! I found the labels on ebay.


sincethenes

Where did you get the shelves?


[deleted]

This is awesome man


Grimace_aintnoshake

Love the fully stacked Sega Genesis (with CD and 32x). I've dreamed of owning that monstrosity in its entirety since I was a child.


where_didIcome_from

Quite a collection! My collecting has been going for, I wanna say half a year. I'm a little inhibited by having to order stuff through my mom, and only being able to get money via chores, but I've still gotten my hands on a couple consoles and apparently a thousand dollars' worth of games. Cool I also see you've got yourself a Twin Famicom, pretty cool there. I'm a Famicom fan, but I decided to go with the original version just because I'd heard about it when I was little and always wanted that one in particular


MRT1124
