Before I start this thread, I just want to say that I ran a search for this topic on the boards, and I came across a rather large thread about this, which seemed to quickly devolve into an argument about why having a game collection is considered hoarding, and how people should just give their games away. So, since I didn't feel like reading through 15+ pages of that shit, I decided to start a new thread....here it goes:
Basically, after I was hit with my chronic vertigo, I had to stop playing newer systems/3-D games completely. I recently started playing my older systems, and buying 16 bit systems that I never owned, because they don't seem to bother my vertigo as much. So, I've spent the last few months digging my 8 and 16 bit systems out of storage, as well as purchasing a Genesis and Turbo-Grafx 16.
Naturally, this has left me with an overwhelming cluster fuck of different sized AC adapters, controllers, game cases....etc.
Meanwhile, at the moment, I only have one entertainment center, with room to hook up my Blu-Ray player, Cable box/DVR, and one gaming system. In fact, even if I had room to put more than one system in the entertainment center, I really prefer to have only one system hooked up at a time, to avoid a mess of wires behind my T.V.
I also recently bought a 4 bedroom house, and I have two bedrooms that aren't being used for anything at the moment. One of them is a "guest room" for guests that I never have, so I've been kicking around the idea of just turning it into a "retro gaming room." So, with a whole room free to store these systems/controllers/games, what would be the best way to go about organizing everything? How do you guys go about storing your collections...especially the accessories? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Storing these controllers, systems, and their accompanying wires seems to be my biggest conundrum, so ideally I would like to figure out a better organization than just throwing them all in boxes and letting them become a tangled mess.
P.S. - I'm one of those people who enjoys collecting various items, whether it be baseball cards, CDs/vinyl, video games, or movies. Even if I'm not actively playing the games or watching the movies, I enjoy looking at the artwork and instruction manuals. This is one of the reasons why I can never go digital on anything, and why I can't just give my stuff away (hell, I still have a box full of my G.I. Joes in my garage for Gods sake). So, please respect my decision to collect games, even if you don't share the same opinion, and try your best to offer some constructive feedback in this thread. Thank You.
