Two things. First, I lol'd at the poor GBA SP getting rapped by that original GB cart. Damn thing looks like one of John Holmes victims haha. And secondly, for the love of god, either darken that room entirely with black out drapes or store those consoles away in a closet. Sun light is going to KILL that SNES. 

I lol'd at that first statement. I do appreciate the advice regarding the SNES though.


It's a very nice collection. Totally jealous. I use to have a similar one, but my ex sold off all of my stuff. I'm currently in the process of getting it all back but it's pretty expensive.

As far as what I said about the SNES, I'm sure you already know, but some of those classic consoles used a special solution in their plastics that would not only turn the plastic a horrid yellow, but would also cause them to deteriorate over time and break. Nintendo sadly used this chemical in making alot of their stuff, the SNES being one of them. If you allow natural sunlight around it for too long, that process is going to be sped up and you'll be stuck with something like this.
