Unless I'm going to play the game in an hour or something, I always fold up the controller and dust regularly. Right now, admitedly, I don't have too much plugged in as I usually would (PS2, PS3, Wii, N64, cable box and region free Blu-Ray player), but I make sure everything is at least just a bit organized. But those cabled nightmares remind me of my childhood of an NES, SNES, N64 and PSX crammed into a small bit of furniture under my television (T__T)Mark Ayalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770735469226319369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-62664477336465277212011-07-14T09:09:30.208+09:002011-07-14T09:09:30.208+09:00Simon - thanks, I can imagine that must have been ...Simon - thanks, I can imagine that must have been quite the sight with all those consoles. I'm limited to 7 due to the small size of my TV stand, otherwise I'd probably have 2 or 3 more in there!<br /><br />Vintango- too true. Rats nest is exactly what this is. And indeed, that is how it should be:)<br /><br />Skyrunner - That is probably a better idea, just having the 2 or 3 you are currently using out. I find that I have games on all these consoles that I like to play on a semi-regular basis so I've never been able to pull that off!<br /><br />Videogamesarerad - yes! I look forward to seeing them!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-53401752916443855862011-07-14T06:43:05.525+09:002011-07-14T06:43:05.525+09:00Fantastic post.

Other than that, I just dust the shelves and such from time to time.

If you're using them, this is how it will look 90% of the time. (Which is exactly how it should be!) It's the classic electronics "rats nest" look, as my college roommate used to say.Vintangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075183172208715394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-41014549064182574422011-07-13T21:51:46.727+09:002011-07-13T21:51:46.727+09:00Haha, nice post, my consoles used to look like thi...Haha, nice post, my consoles used to look like this! I'm the same regarding the 'clean ups' too. I have nice colorful stacking crates filled with millions of controllers and power leads and stuff but they never stay in there for long. At my worst I had all of the following set up at once: MegaDrive, Master System, Saturn x2, Dreamcast, SNES, PC Engine, 3DO x2, PlayStation, N64, GameCube, PS2 and my Amiga. As you can imagine, it wasn't a pretty sight! :PRetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-3711323577178399602011-07-13T16:18:52.601+09:002011-07-13T16:18:52.601+09:00LOL, yes it is (hard to keep them tidy)!

The price of used ones has come way down since they announced the new Nintendo console and that lack of wires is just too hard to ignore:)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-7809713283787023332011-07-13T15:27:26.046+09:002011-07-13T15:27:26.046+09:00For shame, Sean!

Sadly, I think that's why I rarely play some of my old games and systems these days. It's so much easier to just turn on the ol' Wii -- with its wireless controllers -- and play some of them via emulation instead :( Oh, well, at least I can play the real things if I want to, right?Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.com
