Only 3 minutes in and massively jealous....candy cab and Double Dragon....my favourite arcade game. You always get the best pick ups mate 👍🏻

[@Sinisteve]

Great game, I can even appreciate the slow down now, played it loads as a kid with my big brother so holds so much nostalgia but I had fallen out of love with it years ago...but then that music starts😍

[@SEGAZombie]

Some lovely grabs steve and those custom boxes are absolutely stunning that Barbarian 💙 Looks like a few of us are having a shuffle and re-focusing our collections

[@Sinisteve]

We’ve just had nothing better to do for the last 6 months haha, hope you’re well mate

[@burntoutculture2147]

Brilliant pick ups as usual Steve. Love that space helmet tv! That Barbarian box!! Just wow! Really nice miggy adds aswel. Would kill to have one of those Egret's running something like DD....... so cool! Hope you get Outrun back up and running soon. Take it easy mate

[@Sinisteve]

Cheers Mark, Outrun is all good again already😉hate having broken stuff in the Gameroom ha Get yourself a Candy mate you wouldn’t regret it

[@krustyplug9486]

Came over from Eddie.✌️ Lovely pickups, enjoyed the video! 👍

[@Sinisteve]

Krusty Plug cheers Krusty👍

[@NotMoreGames]

Sorry to see the Outrun having issues but at least you have the skills to fix it. With that Phillips TV although sweet looking without the room better off passing it on. Space seems to be the bane for many collectors. Really nice pick ups.

[@Sinisteve]

Cheers matey, outrun is fixed already, I’m lucky I know people that repair this stuff and there is a monitor expert that lives like 15 minutes away from me, very handy

[@Champion2D]

Some quality pick ups Steve. Great to see the gb/gba get some love too. Really nice additions. Double Dragon Advance is really good. Arguably the best home port of DD believe it or not. Unfortunately people have caught on to the game and it now commands a hefty price complete. I'm also looking to thin out the collection. I pretty much have the same problem too. Just not enough space.

[@Sinisteve]

Cheers Rob, I do like GBA games, I had one bitd but only really played Mario Kart so to see how big the library was is great, don’t like the boxes though, no real spine art🙈 I think as soon as we realise “you can’t own everything” that helps...everything I’ve sold I can still play via everdrive but still probably won’t🤣won’t be missed

[@Champion2D]

@@Sinisteve I can't argue with that. It's true regarding gba boxes. They're not the best. It's true. We can't possibly own everything. That's how I feel nowadays across all media. Collecting should really have some sort of structured end goal. Otherwise it just turns into hoarding. Unless you're super rich living in a massive home It's just not sustainable.

[@Sinisteve]

Exactly, I was sort of unofficially going for a full pal MegaDrive set...but also Full Amiga Psygnosis Full Amiga Gremlin Full Amiga Elite Full Amiga Ocean And Full Amiga Sega and Capcom As well as getting more arcade boards and Japanese MD shooters🤣🙈 Got to stop somewhere I did feel quite structured before but was never happy buying stuff and just putting it in storage

[@onaretrotip]

Audio sounds great. I have a Rode SmartLav and they produce fantastic audio for the price. Love Final Fight One; I had that back in the day. And yes, I do indeed love Timesplitters! Cracking series.

[@Sinisteve]

Yeah pretty impressed with the rode smartlav, definitely better than my last £4 eBay purchase that was hissing everywhere🙈 Maybe now a collaboration is possible?? Nah my voice is still irritating as fuck😂

[@bluetonic78]

"The NES carts might be next".....which when translated from cockney means they're definitely going next lol I know the feeling Steve, when you start to question certain things you have in your collection then you know the writing is usually on the wall. It's not a bad thing though, you're freeing up funds as you say for things that mean something to you so win-win really. I remember those TV's, wanted one back in the day actually.....still look cool to be honest, a nice display piece but a bit limited as you say. Those C64 boxes look pretty smart, i'm not usually into those repro boxes but they do look nice. Yeah you stick to "lovely Wolf" mate, i'll have Maria haha......Nice bundle of course, I knew it would have some quality in it if you were heading out to pick it up.....Traps 'n' Treasures, love the look of that one. Not sure I remember it from back in the day....might have been Paul showing it off a couple of years ago which sparked my interest.

[@Sinisteve]

The trouble I have is I buy so much stuff in bundles and usually sell what I don’t want to recoup the money but I’m quite lazy and sometimes forget to, so now I’ve ended up with quite a lot of games that I’ve kept hold of but no intention of playing Not many systems to go through...nes definitely one of them though Traps n Treasures is definitely one to check out, lovely little game

[@raggeragnar]

That is a well organized , kept and proportioned game room. Splendid pick-ups aswell. I find retrogames more entertaining than the more recent ones. The limited hardware forced the developers to expand their horizons of gaming ideas.

[@Sinisteve]

Cheers dude, think I just prefer the pick up and play aspect, especially since having kids, just don’t have the time to put 100s of hours into a game

[@raggeragnar]

Sinisteve Retro Gamer : I understand completely. Since I am WAAAY older than you , my 3 sons are all grown up , but when they were younger , I had to fit in some Amiga-time whenever possible. Now they are 31 , 29 and 20. All three are NES and Amiga fans/collectors like dear old dad.

[@Sinisteve]

That’s brilliant! Love that

[@pnvgordinho]

Traps and treasures is a real gem.

[@Sinisteve]

Yeah I love the graphics and soundtrack, just got to pump more time into it

[@FlashbackTNT]

Great bundles again there, Steve. Super Mario 3 is one of my favourites of all time too. Really awesome Barbarian remake there, what a good addition that is. Hopefully that Outrun will get fixed soon!

[@Sinisteve]

Cheers Jay, Outrun monitor has literally been dropped off 20 minutes ago, I actually have a spare 19” monitor I’ve dropped off too to hopefully get converted to just drop in and work, always good to have a spare🙈

[@lallen1982]

Your game room is one of a kind fella love it 👍

[@Sinisteve]

One day it’ll be double the size, then it’ll be something special😉

[@TheRetroGodfather.]

Some nice stuff there steve, love that streets of rage 4 vinyl 👍

[@Sinisteve]

Cheers Dal, gonna whip that out soon, need to check the game out on the switch

[@caprilaser3]

Nice update vid Steve’o 👍🏼 It’s the Amiga take over! 😆 if that’s what you would rather have out and have easy access too, then it makes sense. Nice Robo cab condom👍🏼 Shame to hear OutRun is out of action. I did wince when you mentioned it as I was hoping it wasn’t going to be a board issue, but was slightly relieved when you confirmed monitor related 😅 I’m sure you will drop your spare in, in no time and have it back in action. Nice boxed Nintendo stuff too. The SMB3 box is just so iconic.

[@Sinisteve]

Yeah love that SMB3 artwork, top game... Yeah outrun is playing blind so defo monitor issue...the other monitor doesn’t just drop in but does have off the shelf connectors that will convert it to work and it’s a better monitor so win win I suppose👌🏼 Hope you’re doing well DaveO

[@rollerxcore]

Time to upgrade the megadrive to a Genesis! shame about outrun but im sure that will be fixed in no time! The SoR4 soundtrack is great... As a whole i think it has the strongest in the series. that SMB3 box is so iconic! one i have considered picking up again. but id rather have loose so i dont get dragged back into that rabbit hole agaon. lol. it didnt take long to re complete that stryx. 😂 I remember seeing traps and treasures back at an early play expo, and he was asking £100 which i thought was an eyewatering price at the time, but it seems like he probably was doing a bit of a deal! Awesome Video! and excellent pick ups!👍🏻

[@Sinisteve]

Haha the MD is modded so that wouldn’t do anything, I’m guessing there’s a mod for the 32X but I’m not going down that road, no 32X games I want to play I just like the look of the tower of power Outrun back working again😊 If that Traps n Treasures was nice I would’ve snapped it up!

[@HyperTriggerEx]

It was good to catch up at AC the other week, it’s a shame we weren’t able to hang out for longer, next time maybe. I can’t believe you’ve already passed on your ED Pro lol, well at least you’ve lost no money on it that’s the main thing. I still want to get a flash cart at some point for my AES. I’m thinking of shifting some things so I can raise the funds to get one. Man alive Shinobi is one of my favourite arcades of all time and one I played at Leeds the other week. I wish I picked up the digital Switch version when it was on sale for a few quid. Great vid mate.

[@Sinisteve]

I really don’t know why I bought that Everdrive Pro, I never needed it... It doesn’t work with the mega cd attached so it would’ve been a faff to use, this way I can still play any mega cd games I own or copies plus 32x MegaDrive and Master System games without touching anything Would definitely recommend the MVS flash cart, even though it’s quite expensive I think I’ve got my money’s worth already

[@HyperTriggerEx]

Sinisteve Retro Gamer it’s good for me as I don’t own a MCD, though I’ve still not got an SD card for it and it set up lol.

[@Sinisteve]

Oh yeah it’s a great bit of kit if you don’t have a mega cd, but I do so I have no idea why I ordered it🤣probably you’re bad influence

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

I think we are all thinning our collections and trying to focus. I've been rambling on about it as has Russ 😆. I totally understand what you mean about wanting to display the core of your collection. Such an awesome room mate. Prehistoric isle is a great shooter, gutted about outrun hope you get it fixed 🤞 Been after one of those TV's for ages 😍. Great pick ups mate, love your Amiga collection.

[@Sinisteve]

We can’t own everything... I’ve had a full Dreamcast collection and the hunt was great but I’ve already got other collections I’m more interested in...I get much more pleasure loading up Amiga games than MegaDrive, can’t remember the last time I took a MegaDrive cart out and loaded it🙈 I’ll invest back into Japanese shooters probably If you was closer I’d say come and grab this tv off me ha

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Fantastic video Steve. Love seeing all the games your playing as well as the pick ups. Some great Nintendo and arcade pick ups too. Absolutely love the Robotron cover. Hope your well mate

[@Sinisteve]

Cheers Alex yeah all good pal, I’ll give you a call soon for a catch up Lot of people in the hobby seem to be refocusing collections lately

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Sinisteve Retro Gamer Nothing wrong with that mate, I do it all the time. Look how much my collection has changed over 10 years Constantly evolving but I like that, keeps it fresh and interesting.

[@The_Lamer_Gamer]

Some lovely bits, I’m at around 400 megadrive games and also thinking about thinning some of the collection. It’s still under debate to what I want to part with though. If you do sell any megadrive lemme know

[@Sinisteve]

Will do buddy, I think I’m about done with the thinning for MegaDrive, I might have a couple though, so many people refocusing lately, never a bad thing

[@JimmyRetro]

Loving the game room Steve. Nice pickups, especially the Sensible Soccers! Have you got the Master System version yet?

[@Sinisteve]

I have yes, think there’s only 3 to get now Snes world champions edition And a few later PC versions around 98, not even proper sensi really

[@kintozero3169]

Advance Guardian Heroes is actually a sequel, same with Gunstar Super Heroes. Fun games, but the originals are better

[@Sinisteve]

Oh a sequel, I’d beat give the 1st one a go then haha

[@freet7354]

Hello Steve My Sega Astro City monitor starts to show strange picture movement when firing the baby up. Only in the beginning. After 30 seconds its the normal picture again. I think its the horizontal size which quenches like a pillar. Top and bottom corners remain the same. Where did you have your Outrun Cab monitor recapped... Do you know a reliable source here in Europe to let the chassis recapped? Is it a good idea to recap the adjustment PCB (for brightness, gamma, hori- and vertical adjustments) under the control panel, too? Fantastic room btw. I like that you put a lot of thinking in the room. Tried to get Egret's too but couldnt find here in Germany or Netherland. Now I have 2 Astro Cities which i adore. Need an advice before the problem might intensify some day. Thanks

[@Sinisteve]

Hey buddy That definitely sounds like it need sorting... Go on Ukvac forum and look up a guy called Gunblade, he’s the monitor guru for most of the U.K and your only need to send him the chassis Do remote boards even have capacitors?🤔 I know the pots can go a bit flakey, I remember my astro had a rusty connector that was putting the monitor in shut down

[@freet7354]

@@Sinisteve Thank You for the recommendation. You were right that are the pots on the remote board ;)

[@tootyuk]

Need a bigger room steve....extension time i reckon! Some nice additions, loving them 8bit/16bit boxes is that the same guy that Mr Bads got a box for and they all kicked off? Let me know what loose NES titles you have if you decide to shift them on

[@Sinisteve]

Definitely let you know mate👍 Nah it’s a different guy doing these, think they’ll be a lot less controversial🤣 I can’t extend any further I would need to move house!🙈a double garage would be the perfect size...get all the Amiga collection on display and still have enough room for around 3/4 more dedicated arcade cabs

[@DadLadsGaming]

Sinisteve Retro Gamer I’m with Stu......extension FTW!

[@Sinisteve]

Dad & Lads Gaming extension!? I’d need a warehouse soon🙈hopefully I’m right about the prices dropping when furlough ends...I’ll just hoover it all back up hahah

[@DanThrue]

Damn Stephen... I've been after Traps'n'Treasures for so loooong... I'm not jealous.. no... not... at... all... no...

[@Sinisteve]

Hahaha yeah it’s been on my radar ages! Paid pretty much going rate though which is unlike me

[@fernandosevilla9516]

WHERE DID YOU GET THESE VERSIONS OF THE GAME OVER AND THE BARBARIAN?

[@Sinisteve]

Angelo from the Amiga FB groups👍

[@GASHPAN]

Would Monstermug ever consider selling that Robotron? 😉

[@Sinisteve]

Maybe....not sure he even likes it haha

[@AmAtAm]

The “lovely Wolf”, eh? 😂 Your Amiga habit has claimed its first victim (Megadrive), by this time next year there will be piles of Amiga budget releases where your cabs once were. Some very nice stuff in there, those custom boxes look great.

[@Sinisteve]

😂😂knew I should’ve cut that bit Nah the MegaDrive hasn’t been claimed, in fact I’m gonna buy some Japanese MegaDrive shooters with some of the money, the MegaDrive filler was always planned to be thinned out to raise funds for another arcade cab too if I can find a Sinistar
