Working on my Retro gaming spot.

Well, a couple of weeks ago I scored a CRT TV - VHS combo for free. Since then I've worked on different setups and combinations of my older systems. I cannot seem to get the combo going so what you see in the picture below is my stopping point until I can really get in there and work it out.

Thanks. I want to put my NES and Sega up there. I'm working on it some more tomorrow.

I wish I had kept the collection I had when I lived in California. I had a lot of systems from original Pongs, to Intellivision, Atari Jaguar, Turbo Grafx, all these peripherals... but when me and my roommate moved back east we got rid of everything to lighten the load. Pretty sad. I don't have room for it now, but I wish I still had it.

I see an Atari Jaguar, one of the only popular systems I never owned. I only wanted to play Aliens Vs Predator and Tempest 2000 on it anyway. I used to dream of having all the old systems and keeping them all set up. I feel like I'm a little bit over it now. If I suddenly came into some money though, all bets are off. I'd probably create the ultimate game room.

I love the Jaguar, honestly it has one of  the most comfortable controlers during its time. I love that the control has the overlay for quick button choice.

I guess I never came across one in the wild in my flea market hunting years. I always wanted to try one out though.

Good luck now. I bought mine a couple of years ago for $50. that came with two controlers and DOOM. I saw a few online the past few weeks for $400 with no game and 1 controller.

$50 is about right.

That's neat, but the Switch looks a little out of place there. :)

I swear that Switch is always photobombing, lol. I think its a bad influnce for my 3DS too, you see it by the Switch.

I got the nostalgia tingles. Or maybe that's the drip they put in me for my x-ray this morning.

Did you get a CT with contrast? I've had a lot of those.

Yeah, I'm looking at getting some Pong machines too. Bently has a not-Pong game Unit I want to get. They have it at my local retro game store.

I did indeed! IVP this morning that insurance may not cover any more now I've been let go. Long story, but good news is everything came back normal.

Nice! I still remember staying in Test Drive (PS2) loading screens to play pong. Lol
