  1. Before and after pictures of my "gaming credenza".  I cleaned up a bit to make some room to add a Nintendo 64. 

    With a full house due to the pandemic, this is all the space I have to work with for retro gaming. There are several systems in here:

    1. Wii (with GameCube support)
    2. Retron 3 (NES, SNES, Genesis)
    3. PS2
    4. Atari 2600jr
    5. N64

      They really are. I was surprised. This is a pretty early 2600 game. 1980, I believe?

      I've also been playing a lot of Star Ship. That's a fun game, too. I don't much care for Lunar Lander, but Warp Drive and Star Ship on faster speeds are really fun. Both Soccer and Star Ship are oft-hated games.

      Try moving most of those boxes on the bottom to the top shelf. That way, with your power strip(s) you get, you can probably put your INTV or Colecovision (probably not both though) in there. Don't put the systems on the top shelf as then you'll have wires dangling in front of the TV and they may fall (controller cords were short back in the day).

      What other consoles do you have? 

      I think if you play your cards right, you may be able to play:

      • NES*
      • SNES*
      • Genesis*
      • Game Boy (Super Game Boy)*
      • PS1**
      • PS2
      • GameCube***
      • Wii
      • Atari 2600****
      • Atari 7800
      • Nintendo 64
      • Intellivision/Colecovision
      • Vectrex (maybe, probably)

      *Retron 3

      **PS2

      ***Wii

      ****Atari 7800

      And maybe even a few more.

      I think, too, that I could get rid of one of the shelves.  Like that one under the Wii. 

      Adding the INTV and Colecovision would be tough because I'd need to add an RF switchbox.  Those stiff RF wires make that difficult.  But I'll consider it. 

      And there's just to room for the other systems that I love, which are mostly computers.  C64, Atari 800xl, Amiga, ST.  Those ones will have to remain seasonal. 

      Oh, and there's one more system that's available today -- I have the SNES Gameboy adapter cart.  So those I can play on a larger screen too.

      Can the PS2 play PS1 games?
