Need Gamer Help!

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Could y'all help me identify some systems?

Fandom & Feminism


N64, Gamecube (x2 )
???? on top of NES, ??, SNES
Dreamcast, Sega Genesis (?)

What's the thing with the holes between the shelves?

Shitload of hand-helds
Sega something, and ??

Oh, and:

[Adam]

I'm working off my phone (stupid @werk proxy), but...

Left top shelf:
N64, Gamecube, Gamecube

Left middle Shelf:
NES, Famicom (Japanese NES) on top of it, late model US NES, Super NES

Bottom left shelf:
Dreamcast, the other one appears to be a late model Genesis, but I don't know what that is sitting on top of it...the Sega CD peripheral maybe?

The things between the shelves are pair of 4 port A/V switches, turned on their sides and stacked...I'm pretty sure they're the same RCA model I used to have.


Top right shelf: Xbox

Middle right shelf: shit ton of handhelds

Bottom right shelf: I don't know what that Sega system is, late model PS2 with a late model PS1 sitting on top of it

ETA: - we've got lawyers and biologists and historians and engineers, and then we've got the guy who recognizes old vidya game consoles...

[Adam]

Ok, after five minutes of googling:

The thing on top of the Genesis is the 32X add-on.

The unidentified Sega system on the bottom right is a Saturn.

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Saturn and Dreamcast were both flops, weren't they?

Thanks Adam ♥

[Adam]

More or less, although some people swear that the Dreamcast was a technically superior machine that just lost the marketing game.

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

My cousins had a lot of those systems, including a Virtual Boy, which I'm surprised this person doesn't seem to have.

[Adam]

Whose collection is this?

[BrotherMan]

I harrumphed at the collection of so-called console systems simply because the poseur doesn't have Pong, Atari or Intellivision systems. Fucking 80s babbys walking across my lawn.

[Adam]

Should Pong really count as a console system? It's more of a precursor.

[BrotherMan]

I count it even if though was a monotasking console.

Also, no Merlin in the handhelds.

[Dingfod]

What, no ColecoVision or Coleco Gemini?

[Dingfod]

Or those wonderments, the Magnavox Odyssey systems from the early 70s.

[Ari]

The handhelds are basically each generation of Gameboy and DS or whatever the new fangled one is that occasionally makes you yell at its mic to get past things.
They need more variety in their handhelds, I remember I loved my Sega GameGear, well for the 3 hours or so it got on it's whopping 6 AA batteries.

A question relevent to this thread, I wonder what old NES and SNES stuff is worth and/or if there's anyone that really wants it. I was recently cleaning out some boxes and found a number of old nintendo power magazines and assorted gaming equipment.

[Demimonde]

I had two systems not represented: Sega Master system and the TurboGrafX-16. BONK!

[Dingfod]

I got a Mattel Intellivision system for free just for sitting through a condo sales presentation. It only took three months and a letter to the Wyoming Attorney General to get it. The system sucked, it wore my thumbs out worse than a NES with that disc controller thing. Needed a joystick.

I was just saying that to a friend last night, that the Game Gear was the ultimate battery-muncher. I've seen the NES/SNES go for like $50 at GameStop when I'm in the US.

I had the original Game Boy and the clear one (from the Play It Loud series).

Adam, it was something I found on Tumblr.

ha! i had a later version:



i remember conquering Pick Axe Pete on that thing. that was a hard game. i remember finishing the final level with my family and a couple of friends watching, stuck in a cottage by the lake on a rainy day...nice memory

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

That box is so early 80's I think I'm either going to vomit or have a seizure.

[Dingfod]

It was a computer, note the QWERTY keyboard!

I still have my parents old colicovision sitting around, haven't pulled it out in since i don't when, but it still worked last time I had the urge to play donkey Kong or q-bert

Adem properly identified the consoles.

The handhelds are from left to right (mostly in order of release anyway):

*Game Boy (the original big brick)
Game Boy Pocket
*Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance SP (this is the one that's out of order, this is the GBA redesign)
*Game Boy Advance
Game Boy Micro
*Nintendo DS
Nintendo DSi

The Nintendo DSi looks very similar to a 3DS, but the 3DS has a layered color scheme: the top, middle and bottom are different shades on the basic models (limited edition colors may be different).

*Ones that I've owned

Maybe so, but that controller was ass.

Weird blocky shape, non-ergonomic grips, and a hard, pointy D-Pad.

I bought it after it was clearly going to lose and the price was dropped significantly... still a bad decision.
