Post by: lwizardl on January 08, 2016, 02:49:35 PM: okay here is the pictures I have ready.

Thought I would share my gaming collection for home consoles, computers, and handhelds with the group.

These are old pictures but the only thing that has changed is I have added more and it looks clustered, so these pictures look better.

So you have a golden axe too? I like that cab also.

Post by: lwizardl on January 09, 2016, 06:38:53 PM: Yup I have the board set for Golden Axe, TMNT, TMNT Turtles in Time. Just no cabinets for them yet.

The cabinet I have with Altered Beast in it will be going back to it's original Jungle King once I can afford the parts to do it.

Holy shit, this is an impressive collection.....but what are you collection all those consoles for? I mean it is OK to have one of each kind and maybe a 2nd as backup...but stacking them this way makes no sense to me ::) No offense, though. It's your money and space.....each to his own :)

Post by: lwizardl on February 20, 2016, 05:21:17 AM: I do repairs on the systems I find and then trade them off to people for things I need in my collection :)
