The New Game Room ( 95% complete )

[killerkobra]

Not sure if this is the best place to introduce myself but here goes

Hello to everyone,

My name is Dean and this is my official introduction. Im from Edmonton Alberta Canada, born and raised on the North side. I have basically been collecting video games since I was 4 ( I have all my original items still ) but have been seriously collecting for the past 3 years. My collection has grown at a steady speed, adding new items every week ( only breaking the bank a few times ) I have been a member of NintendoAge for the past 3 years also where I have gotten a large portion of my collection. I use the same user name on NA as I do here, killerkobra.

A buddy from NA said that I should check out the RF Gen Collectors Cast since I  enjoy listening to podcasts in my truck. I then found this forum. Really looking forward to entering my collection into the tools on here. Maybe I even have a few items I can enter.

I figured I could just post a few pics here to show everyone where Im at.

Heres a picture of my collection from before I got serious about collecting

Also I have been working on a project to get every post I have made about getting a new item into one long thread. I just think I would be interesting to see the progression of my collection in one long read. Anyone interested in seeing in detail how and when I got a lot of my stuff?

I was just in Edmonton a couple months ago. Great looking collection!! Way to put us other Canadians to shame.

Welcome to RF Gen! Nice to meet more fellow Canadians.

I see you have the Marshall mini stack... cool! Oh, and that's a killer collection.

Nice collection sir. Vs. Castlevania......sweet. Welcome to the site.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I know the feeling on those tubs...

[killerkobra]

Thanks singlebanana, It took like a year for me to get all the pieces together for it. I even got the topper recently for it so it will look even better!!! Freaking game is hard a hell though. The timer goes sooo fast and you only get 4 hits or less and your dead.

Ya Shadow Kisuragi it was and is a major pain in the butt, but I guess it has to be done at 1 point. How did your move go?


For me yesterday was Day 1 of moving the collection, I did 3 and 1/2 truck loads like this and I still have more to take over

I was really happy to see that all my console and accessory boxes all fit on the shelves I put up. I don't have it organized for display just yet, I just threw them all up there for now.

I really like this shelves since I won't be able to display the front of every box at least I can read the bottoms of the boxes from underneath since the the shelving is see-through.

when I was clearing a bunch of old stuff outta the closet I found this. An arcade token…. Its a sign…

Funny, when I moved my collection into our new house a few years ago, I did it all myself. I wouldn't let the movers we hired to touch any of my stuff.

Ya man, I wont even let friends or family help move my collection. I did hire movers but only for the big stuff and my arcade. I moved it into my basement myself and I AM NOT moving it back out myself. Arcades are tough so ya, the movers can break their backs getting it out

[techwizard]

i really like that idea of seeing the console boxes through the bottom of that shelving, haven't seen anyone do that before.

Well here's the first new game for my collection to enter into the new game room. For some reason it shipped to my parents address ( my old old address ) So I picked it up on the way to my new house. My snes is packed away so I'm dying to try it out. Heard its a great game.
