I'd be interested to hear from anyone else who's into console collecting, whether you are a casual collector or a more serious one.

wow...didn't know there were that many consoles!

do you still play these...? or is this the type of collection that you keep in boxes?

While stok3d's collection is extensive, it is far from complete. I will say that his collection is more extensive than many, and would love to see pictures,

i thought i had consoles, geez. that's amazing. do you play them? if not then... that's a bummer. do you display them? what?

wow dude, hands down u killed my collection

I have a collection of old consoles too, although no nearly as many as you!

But seriously you gotta take a picture for us. Are they like all packed into one room?

What an awesome site! Thanks for sharing.

I just went digging in my attic for some old toys for my nephew, and stumbled across an old plastic LEGO storage box. Inside was a Genesis, two controllers, Sonic 1, 2, and 3, Sonic and Knuckles, but no RF switch. And here I thought it was lost to the sands of time...
Score.
