I decided to document my somewhat eclectic gaming collection and have been taking some pictures, which I thought I'd share.

I'm what you would call an opportunistic collector, I rarely seek out specific games or consoles. I'm also no purist, I don't need things to be mint, I usually just want to play the game. One day I might get serious and start refining my collection, but most of what I am about to show you came to me by chance. I have also bought and sold a lot of stuff over the years, so my gaming collection, excluding current generation games, has not cost me a cent in the long run.

This is a work in progress, there are more pictures to come.

Here we have a ColecoVision, rescued from the side of a road. As you may have noticed, it is a little dirty. This is after I pulled the case off and scrubbed it in hot water with dishwashing detergent several times. It was so filthy and neglected when I found it, it will probably need a few more washes before all the dirt is gone. And yes, it still actually works, though the original controllers are kind-of shot. The games were just as filthy, but after using liberal amounts of isopropyl alcohol on the pin connectors, I got 15 out of 16 games working. The game without a label is Turbo, I believe. I just realised, I'm like the RSPCA for games...

Some more consoles. I bought the NES new about 17 years ago. One new pin connector and a replacement loading mechanism later and she is still going strong. Wish I never gave away my toploader.

Some MegaDrive games, varying from near mint to found under a rock somewhere.

An Atari, the 'Darth Vader' model, so-called due to it's mastery of the Sith arts. Or because it's black, I forget. Also, a smattering of games. I had more, but sold them when I temporarily contracted poverty.

Some more consoles, most of which were rescued from hard rubbish collection, complete with all cables and a couple of games (neither pictured). Have not tested or cleaned these yet. Also, NES, MegaDrive and other accesories.

Still to come: NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, PC ofcourse, Xbox 360. Plus some very special guests, stay tuned...

first of all, i have to apologise profusely to gizmocreative for taking so f**king long in getting this organised. my camera died some months ago, and although i was without a camera for ages, it didn't even click that my new mobile had a camera of decent-ish quality to take photos of this awesome gift he sent through.

so here it finally is. a gameguide of MGS3, from China.

contains the usual walkthru stuff.

but under the items sections, it uses real photos of the weapons, instead of ingame screen-shots.

Likewise, some of the character profiles use photos of the people, where they were historical figures, obviously.

and finally, and what takes up most of the book, what looks to be the game's script.

once again, i apologise to gizmo for being a total pleb about this, it's sitting on my shelves now, amongst the rest of my MG stuff.

EDIT: oh, and no, i don't speak or read chinese, so some of my descriptions might be completely off the mark (and potentially spoilers

) so forgive me if i've made any errors.

Hey folk. I thought I'd share a few pics with y'all. The vast majority of my game collection is in storage unfortunately, so what you're seeing (and this is a conservative guess) is less than about 5% of a greater whole. I've been a collector of games for well over 15 years by now, but really haven't been actively so in the last few years, so I haven't been as quick on the uptake with the current generation (to the point where I would describe my efforts during this generation as 'casual').

I moved into an apartment late last year, and it came to decide as to whether my videogames or my record collection would be on show -- I decided on the latter (much more picturesque and people friendly, haha), pics of which are buried elsewhere amongst this forum. I certainly realised where my loyalties lay well before that; on November 21, 2004, I found myself blowing hundreds of dollars on jazz and soul records in Chicago, as opposed to... well, you should be able to answer that if you're the keen type. If you're lazy, I've prepared this handy URL for you to visit http://tinyurl.com/kny4pm

But, hey, here's some pics of some modern handheld stuff. This is the stuff that's currently in the apartment, and is by no means a complete representation of each console (I have more from these consoles in storage). I've forgone putting up photos of the newer consoles; surely you've all seen enough DS and PSP's in your lives

Neo Geo Pocket

Unboxed Cardfighters Clash: Capcom, Cardfighters Clash: SNK, Dark Arms, Fatal Futury: First Contact, Gal Fighters, King Of Fighters R2, Match Of The Millenium, Metal Slug: 1st Mission, Metal Slug: 2nd Mission, Pac-Man, Pocket Tennis Color, Puzzle Bobble Mini, Puzzle Link 2, Samurai Showdown 2

Bandai Wonderswan

Sony PSP

Nintendo DS
