My wifes says so. :)

I have everything from every released Dreamcast including keyboards, mice etc. Neo Geos (CD, CDz etc), Virtual Boy, Apple Pippins, Vic 20s, Spectrums, Ataris etc etc etc. I even have a CDi, all models of 3D0, FM Towns, FM Towns Marty (both models), all models of PC Engine (yes, even the Shuttle and Super Grafx)...

I even have a Magnavox Odyssey in there somewhere. Black CDTV keyboards, mice and floppy drives? Got ém. Sharp TwinFamicom? Got two of those... Is this a sickness?

...to top that off, I collect firearms.... and time pieces?! Oh well, have to spend your money on something I guess...

Most certainly you are :p

But that's a sweet collection (y)

If I had the time and money, I'd probably be hoarding just as much!
 
yes it seems to be a variation on the ftizsteve virus/disease

Like the real world action toys, is that a Winchester repeating rifle I see

:) I have several Winchesters. :)

If you look closely there is a fully restored Lee Enfield and a Cadet 310 in there too. :)

Amibay will only let you post 10 piccies as attachements.... I had 43 ready to post. :)
 
Nice collection - no wife will ever understand such hobbies. I have a similar range of games machines at home, its finding time to enjoy them that is the biggest challenge.

I don't know much about guns but the consoles are smart. I suppose being in Australia gives you better access to Japanese kit than compared to Europe?
 
Yessum, I know a guy in Japan that gets me what I need at decent prices - postage is a killer though - the X68000 itself cost $230.00 aud to post from Japan. :(
 
the Winchester is the first rifle to hold more than 1 round and reliably fire repeatedly
is a classic in any cowboy and indian film, where many an local got blown away

oh did I say nice collection of consoles/comupters as well (y) its good to have more than 1 hobbie :cool:
 
If this is a sickness, then I'm happy to be sick :)

I have to move to a new apartment soon & I still have no idea how to do it, my house is full with stuff I collect.
Not only computers, but also old VCRs & stereo equipment, lots of CRT monitors & TVs, VHS/SVHS tapes, LPs, etc etc.
Also many spare parts for all the above... its really bad, but great fun! :LOL:

I just cant seem to throw away anything that works, and when I get something that doesnt, I usually fix it & then it gets "immunity" and stays in the house... :blink:

Id say you were quite normal - by my standards anyway.

I have just had to sell some of my stuff as the loft was going to collapse. Keeping all my sinclair stuff - still get a kick out of booting up my zx81's. Also love my amiga's and I have an original lunchbox 286 pc with blue screen and it works perfect.

Love em all!!!!!!!!!!
 
Junk i cant see any junk, you've just posted a picture of the worlds best shop ever!.

Are the pointy shooty things real?. Dont show English people pictures of shooty pointy things we get far too excited there's only one thing worse and that's letting us get hold of one.

Real? Of course they're real! Everything from a .17 hmr up to a .338 Remington UltraMag - can kill elephants with that one. :)
 
That all looks great, reminds me of the stuff I used to have. I hoarded all sorts of machines between 1997 till 2006 when I had to sell the lot (except my A1200 and CDTV, I couldn't part with them) as they were cluttering my mums loft since I moved to Denmark in 2003. Sad times ebaying all that lot.

But no, this type of thing is perfectly normal to me ;) I've started up again, I think, but more focused on Amiga's now. I have an ambition to own at least one of each Amiga model made... the wife is unaware of this ambition :D HEHEHEH!
