Good stuff Xeogred and sweet anime collection. I may post shelf pics sometime but this room is a mess and I need to reorganize. In the meantime, some thangs I kinda like...... Lemmings, the Amiga original plus expansion: Small and mighty MSX set: Falcom on PCE: Ys Eternal: I don't have many "big box" PC games, but "somehow" ended up with these big CIB VNs......

Those Falcom games are a sexy sight to behold.
My dork cave is presently in a chaotic state as well. Started a process of adding new shelves, moving things around, implementing new hardware last month... and it's still a mess. I'm hoping I have enough time next week to wrangle it back in order. I guess when it's back in some semblance of order I can post pics of my game shelves. It's just massive amounts of 7th/8th gen games, with a small amount of 6th gen. For 5th gen and back I pirate and emulate like I just don't care (because I don't).

Yeah that Ys Eternal box is gorgeous. I do have a few PC Engine CD games, I'll photograph them one of these days. Black Onyx on MSX, though. First time I've seen that!

Man I loved Lemmings on the SNES. Crazy they don't have new ports/releases, but I think they've been freeware for ages now. I have Lemmings 95 installed which has the "Oh No..." levels as well. But the Amiga music is probably better than Windows? haha.

Some very impressive stuff here, y'all!
That Amiga soundchip was no joke. Good, good stuff.

Got a game many of you probably haven't seen before (I certainly hadn't!): Alright so obviously, this is homebrew. It's an NES port of the Bomb Sweeper Game & Watch game, which is one of the more complicated ones - it's basically a puzzle game where you have to figure out how to get to the bomb to diffuse it before time runs out. It's simple, but quite fun! I actually recommend trying a rom of it out. As near as I can tell, this was released via the Nintendo Age forums in the early 2000s - I have no idea who developed it, whether this cart was manufactured or just a reused legit cart (I suspect the latter), etc. I wasn't on those forums at any time, so I don't know. There's an archive of them, but I haven't delved into it to find out. In any case, I don't really care how "legit" this is or isn't, because it's intended for my Game & Watch display! I'll have to rearrange things to get it to fit in there, especially if I decide to display the box and cartridge separately, but I think it's really cool. I'd photograph the inside of the manual, by the way, but it's only three pages long and other than some control info, just repeats what it says on the back of the box. Still, cool that they made one.

Neat! I like that there is modern homebrew for the system. I've only got a couple of new-release NES carts that I can think of: Holy Diver and Alwa's Awakening.

Seeing that on display, definitely could have fooled me haha.

Xeogred Right? That's why I gravitated toward it - not only does it have the Game & Watch connection, the box is really nice! The cartridge is a little beat up, but I suspect they reused like an old sports game or something and slapped a new sticker on it. Here's a picture of the board: Looks to be one of those boards where you somehow flash what you want to those eproms (whatever it is, it's far above my paygrade, I do not know how that stuff works lol). Pretty neat imo...

Yep, that's definitely what they did. I did some EEPROM swaps back in the day myself (before it was easier to get repro materials) to have Radia and EarthBound Zero on cart. Still have the Deja Vu chips in the event I want to restore them, though.
Also, it wasn't too huge a process back when I did it... almost 20 years ago, yikes. I was fortunate to have access to university stuff at the time, so I didn't have to buy an EEPROM programmer or a desolder station. Made life much, much easier. For the EEPROMs, it's just a matter of finding the right chip type, and splitting the ROM into its CHR and PRG constituents. Ended up having to double-flash one of them (basically repeated twice to fill the memory space), not entirely sure why but it works.
