So my console collection currently consists of the following (with variations or multiples of a lot of them):

• Atari 2600




• Atari 7800




• Atari Jaguar




• CollecoVision




• Game Boy Color




• Gameboy Advance




• Gameboy Advance SP




• Gameboy Pocket




• GameCube




• NES




• Nintendo 3DS




• Nintendo 3DS XL




• Nintendo 64




• Nintendo DS Lite




• Nintendo DS XL




• Nintendo DSI




• Nintendo Wii




• Ouya




• Panasonic 3DO




• PlayStation




• PlayStation 2




• PlayStation 3




• PlayStation 4




• PlayStation Vita




• PSP




• Sega Dreamcast




• Sega Master System




• Sega Megadrive




• Sega Saturn




• Super Nintendo




• Virtual Boy




• Wii U




• XBOX




• Xbox 360




• Xbox One

I pretty well have all the consoles connected up through two TVs and multiple HDMI/AV switchboxes (had to create a chart on how to get each one working, the cabling behind is awesomely awful so it’s hard to work out what go’s where).  I’m running short on space now, but there are still a few of the more ‘common’ consoles/add-ons that I’m on the look for, so if you are looking to get rid of one of the below for cheap (or free 🙂 ) then shoot me an e-mail.

• Intellivision – Hard to find in Australia for some reason, even though I had a few friends as a kid who had them
• Sega 32x – PAL versions with all cables are hard to come across, and not cheap
• Sega MegaCD – These are reasonably common, but I can’t justify the expense at the moment
• Sega GameGear – Preferably looking for one with the Capacitors already replaced, you don’t want to see me attempt to solder something.  I tried to solder an e-bay AV mod kit in an Atari 7800 and destroyed the console, when the e-bay seller (very nice guy) asked for a picture because it’s nigh on impossible to screw it up, I could feel the stunned silence from over the pacific.  I really did a number on it
• Atari Lynx – I had one when I was younger, but got rid of it because of the 15 minutes you get with 6 million batteries shoved in the back, though these days with rechargeable batteries it’s not so much an issue

Welcome to Gameolism, my ranting about games, the games industry and other games related topics.

I’m an avid game collector, new and retro.  While not reaching the level of craziness of some collections I’ve seen out there, I’ve recently passed the 1,200 game mark, with around 40 consoles (inc. handhelds).  I also love to play the games I collect, however being fully employed with 2 young kids, my time to play is pretty limited.  I sometimes feel like the adult in the below pic.

I’m starting up this site because I can, and I want to, and don’t wont to bombard people on twit-face-tube

As my time is limited, most of my posted thoughts about games will be based on an extensive playing of between 15 minutes and a couple of hours.  So please internet, calm down and don’t get angry, you don’t have to agree with me 🙂
