Haha I have this setup to this day.
I use it for my regular Nintendo and Sega Genesis.
I’ll take it off your hands. Got to strong boys here with me. It took three of us to get this into house. So true it’s freaking heavy. It also swivels which I do find neat. Besides the old game console look better on the equipment they were built for.
What do you use for you irregular Nintendo?
I’ll see myself out 🤣
I just took this photo. Is my setup next level? I RGB modded the Sony if it helps.I had that TV back in the day. It was an amazing TV for it’s time.
That a RetroPie setup at the bottom left?
What’s the CRT on the bottom left?
Also yes.
Sweet man, that setup right there is next level!
thanks!
I’m old enough to remember when this was peak entertainment technology.
Oh my god !!! That’s the TV we had when I was a kid !!!
See, now that’s just the TV stand for the newer TV on top!
But seriously, why the fake drawers in these? The drawer handles even rotated, but you’d just be pulling against the wood.
Peak would’ve been a grey Zapper.
Wow, old memory unlocked, we had that exact tv (or maybe another model that looked very similar). It was the good TV for a long time but never made it to be the less good TV in the basement because, well look at it, it’s a tube TV built into a fucking cabinet, just throw it out.
It still is next level. Modern setups aren’t nearly as cool. TVs mounted to the wall, game consoles on the floor, and who even has a dedicated stereo system anymore?
I definitely would if I had the space and time to build it. Too many projects too little time (and space)
To play games from that era this is a next level setup.
Fuck. I remember when that setup was science fiction.
Kind of still is.
I’m just here to point out that I look down upon everybody, as I have some arbitrary consideration in my mind that makes me and the things I think, more next-levelier than all of you and what you like
What fascinates me is going back and watching TV shows designed for these size / type of capability TV’s, and how much less there is going on, in any frame. The characters are central, there’s no background action or skits, no huge flashing lights or whole moving cities, and it reminds me of the problems behind coco melon. I wonder if it does the same thing to adult brains it does to baby brains.
I would never in a million years would consider this as “next level” unless there’s a MegaDrive behind those doors under the TV.
EDIT: those seem like DVD cases by the stereo, so I’ll have to revise my previous comment and demand either a Sega Saturn, a Playstation or a Nitendo64.
I think that’s a ps3 to the left of the TV
I disagree, that looks like a record player. You can see the plastic cover and what looks like part of the plate on top. There’s also a VCR and I doubt there were many instances of PS3s and VCRs being plugged into the same CRT. I don’t doubt it happened, but this is giving more late 90s/early 2000s than mid/late 2000s
Yes, I played Nintendo games in emulator on mine, it was so great.
Removed by mod
i remember when i was little, and went to my grandparents house, they had something like that.
That is one strong unit, the thought of the weight of those devices gives me back pain.
We must go back
