Epic Video Game Collection Tour!

[@DoctorFoodman]

The rug really ties the room together

[@tcurtis49]

Haha! Perfect :)

[@henryblazer20]

That’s just like your opinion man

[@Big_Chico]

I absolutely love the carpet it really brings the nostalgic aesthetic of the room together

[@tcurtis49]

I get more comments on the carpet than anything else :) It was a bold decision at the time but I’m glad we did it. Especially in the arcade section.

[@toastedcream]

im in complete shock and awe this is amazing all the rare kiosks and the presentation and the cozyness its amazing 10/10

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! I truly appreciate that :) Glad you enjoyed it.

[@brianphilips6363]

Wow what a collection. I loved the arcade games i put a lot of quarters $$$$ in them back in the day. Love that you restored them.

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! It is definitely fun seeing all the arcade games lined up just like when I was a kid :)

[@lloydancman2708]

As a fellow Dentist who also has been collecting for the last 25 years, I'm happy to see such passion in what you love. I don't know what it is about Dentists and collecting video games, I know so many us collect video games for some reason. I recently downsized my collction due to haveing to move alot (3k+ items, complete licensed and unlicensed NES sets). I still have some trade left from my downsizing, if you are interested. Keep up the amazing work!

[@tcurtis49]

I see all your awesome stuff in the High End group. Fascinating story about your Air Raid carts. I can say the same thing about dentists and hobbyist computer programmers-I once worked on a game project that was mainly done by me and another dentist :)

[@lloydancman2708]

@@tcurtis49 thanks! I'm all about preserving the history as you are. I wish I could have kept my collection, but I'm happy with m,y small currated collection.

[@pepincuatro2865]

This is not just an expensive collection, it's one of the cleanest and coziest game rooms I've ever seen. Great work

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks!

[@robertgodlewski8553]

This is not just a collection. You have a museum! Absolutely awesome!!!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@stevenwheat3621]

Having the "wifes approval" is the most important part of this collection. She's very cool to allow.. I assume there's furniture there.

[@tcurtis49]

If she had her way we wouldn’t have any furniture in the house-she’s more a fan of this stuff than I am. I try to keep my house looking as much like a house inside as I can but it definitely is getting crowded inside!

[@stevenwheat3621]

@tcurtis49 😳 Well hold on to her! She's a diamond in the ruff.. I'm allowed only one corner for my mame and shotglasses..

[@christocream]

Your kids will never be allowed to say “im bored theres nothing to do”

[@tcurtis49]

No, they are not, And we had nearly all their birthday parties in the basement just ordering pizza and turning the games on :)

[@bigbeardedbeastcollector9404]

I like how you showed your beginning stages because most people see where you’re at and think it’s un achievable but you showed your progression. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Absolutely epic collection. I’ve been a gamer my whole 42 years of life but I’ve only been collecting since 2017. You showed everyone with passion anything is possible

[@tcurtis49]

It’s really just a matter of accumulating things I liked over time-and it really added up. I’m glad so many people collect and enjoy this hobby these days. I see so many cool collections. Thanks!

[@4GuitarTrance]

Get a "Defender" game if you can (or want). I think it was by Williams. Hard game, but worth it when you conquer the learning curve. Lots o' fun! I'm envious of your game rooms! Thanks for the fun.

[@tcurtis49]

I’ve had that recommendation a lot lately and it is one if the few classics I don’t have, And I agree, it’s hard…but I did like playing it when I was a kid.

[@ChristianAVS]

It's mindblowing that you are a Dentist but have this hobby and extensive knowledge of electronics restoration. Your collection is probably the best I've seen. I mean, even TWO World Championships cartridges?? Just amazing.

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! Lots of years of working on it so it really added up!

[@RetroGamingNook]

Finally, KZbin coming through with an amazing channel suggestion. I am floored by your determination and skills, not to mention your taste in the classics. Cheers!

[@tcurtis49]

I have no idea what made KZbin start recommending my channel but I’m glad it’s finding the right audience :) Thanks!

[@FaultySporkMa]

2 NWCs and a boxed Stadium Events plus complete CIB black box collection?!?!!? Plus SO many people don’t realize how rare that Athletic World box is. You sir are a legend!

[@tcurtis49]

Even stranger is that the Stadium Events and Athletic World are from the same original source-both were dropped off at a Goodwill in Gastonia, SC.

[@FaultySporkMa]

Ahhh those sweet years when Goodwill didn’t post the good stuff on eBay. I miss those years.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Wow you have a nice collection. I love your arcade racer collection. Virtua racing amazed me as kid and I had to play all the Sega racing games after that. I mean I gre up with Outrun and hang on but Vitua racing was just on another level with the ability to do separate cockpit views and the 2 to 4 or 6? player cabinets. Out of all my childhood arcade memories though Id love to find a full afterburner arcade again. With the motorized "cockpit"? I found one in a mall once and I must of dropped 30 bucks into it. 😂😂

[@tcurtis49]

I like the racing games a ton and just picked up another one for a small restoration (details to come). I did have an Afterburner for a while with the shaking flight stick but it wasn't the full sitdown.

[@mw5885]

Just came across your channel yesterday, guess the algorithm knew what I would like. This is the most insane game collection I have seen on youtube. Simply mindblowing. It makes me wish I would have started seriously collecting 15 years ago, not 5. Your arcade restorations are also super interesting, I hope you keep showing them!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks so much! No idea how the algorithm started featuring my content but I'm glad so many people can enjoy it with me. I am definitely way fortunate to have been in on the early years of collecting when the focus was more on keeping things from being thrown away than anything else :)

[@ghines65]

Tempest! Man one of my favorites, Zaxon was another that I loved. Hard game.

[@tcurtis49]

I remember playing Tempest on the pool deck at a hotel a short distance away. As in jump out of the pool, put in a quarter, and play it with water dripping everywhere. It was great fun, though!

[@woogaloo]

The VirtualBoy kiosk is super cool. I remember playing that in Sears every time I was able to go. I keep hoping one will pop up in good condition and for a decent price around me (although I don't see it happening in Italy while we're here!). Also, the boxed Game Gear is awesome. I had every accessory for it back in the day (even the TV cart) and had a blast. I wish my past self had kept all of my games and systems...but that's how it goes.

[@tcurtis49]

That kiosk is definitely one of my favorites. I wish I hadn’t gotten rid of some of my stuff as well, but I’ve been fortunate to find a lot of cool things over the years :)

[@FullBeardSk8]

easily the best tour ive ever seen and ive watched maybe a thousand. everything is just so tastefully done

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! That’s very kind!

[@DoubleVGames]

Approaching 40 myself and slowly building my collection. 3:32 Love the duo red system. Thanks for sharing!

[@tcurtis49]

I have a whole video dedicated to the restoration of it. It was quite a journey from an open field to the middle of my basement! Good luck with your collection journey!

[@KrispyFPV_]

my god im so envious of ur collection, the history that u have in your collection is truly insane, makes me wish i did better in school and life, you're truly a blessed man

[@tcurtis49]

Haha…well I know I have put together a lot of the stuff that made me happy growing up, so I am truly grateful for that :)

[@brownk2]

Your channel is my new favorite channel. Seeing the collection brings me back to my days as a kid playing video games. I love your Atari 2600 display and by far it was the system I loved the most in my childhood. I am inspired that display and have been thinking about a project to display different game systems, and seeing your collection and display has really got my imagination clicking. Have you ever encountered the Atari Lynx portable. I delivered so many papers to save up for a portable game and that was my choice. Mainly because they had APB as a game, and quickly fell in love with Klax. Such a great video, thank you.

[@tcurtis49]

Much appreciated! I did indeed have an Atari Lynx back in the day but didn't use it very much. We got a Sega Nomad and played it quite a bit more. I'd like to get one again--I don't have one in my collection.

[@ethanwashoe5868]

That gameboy kiosk is incredible. Also enjoyed the c64 games. I recently got one myself but finding games has been hard.

[@tcurtis49]

For as many people who had c64 systems it is hard to find games. I still have my boxes but loaned all my 5 1/4” floppies to someone else way back in the day and never saw them again..

[@oo0speed0oo]

this is insane! i love it !

[@EpicGarageSale]

that is an amazing collection!! 😲😲

[@jamesgall475]

I am like 5 mins in and this is already one of the best game rooms I've seen haha 😄 ❤

[@roguedr0id]

Holy cow! I wish my orthodontist had an awesome arcade when I was 12 and had braces. Your collection rocks!

[@tcurtis49]

Me too! The office I went to only had Road and Track magazines…and thanks for the compliment!

[@Retromicky82]

Such a fantastic collection hope you do some game hunting videos or more videos on the collections . Great to see some vintage pc and c64 big boxes you don't see them enough in collection's

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! I just wrapped up a Sega Genesis collection and took some game-hunting footage along the way so I may include that as a video sometime. C64 and Big Box PC collecting does seem to be growing. Those games bring back a lot of memories for me.

[@Retromicky82]

@tcurtis49 awesome ill look out for it . I found your channel via a recommend of the Nintendo tent arcade. And yes there's an increasing big box collecting community out there especially on fb .

[@tcurtis49]

@@Retromicky82 Yeah I’m a member of a couple of groups on there. Mostly just lurking.

[@tombstoneranch69]

Just found the channel. Great content. Love your home arcade, but it looks like you'll soon need to move for more space ;) Keep up the excellent work. Cheers!!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! Yep, space is definitely an issue--I keep rearranging and fitting things in but it's getting tight!

[@thestruggler992]

Nice! I didn't know you had a KZbin channel, but I remember seeing some of this in the documentary 'Nintendo Quest' several years ago. You've gained a subscriber!

[@tcurtis49]

Haha. Yep, that was me. Cool experience for sure :) Thanks!

[@robertott9083]

Games I always played were Spy Hunter, Dragon's Lair, Tron, Star Wars and Afterburner the one where you sit in and the chair moved. I had Dragon's Lair on laserdisc and could play it on my T.V. and use the disc player remote. Love your collection!

[@tcurtis49]

Love those games as well. I had an upright Afterburner for a while but sold it a few years ago to make room. If I ever find a full sitdown I'm going to grab it. I keep an eye out for the others you listed as well but they go for a premium. Cool way to play Dragon's Lair!

[@rev5229]

Small world I live in Salina KS! Love the tour and beautiful collection!!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! My only trip there and it was extremely short :) Maybe I’ll find something else there and make a return trip!

[@tdeseve]

So clean. I see alot of nice collections that are just a mess and not organized. Some people have no idea how to make a place or collection look clean and professional. GG

[@tcurtis49]

It’s definitely hard to keep rearranging things to not look overwhelming or too cluttered. We had to do quite a bit more after getting the Sega display cabinet in my latest video. Right now I’m trying to figure out a way to get two more arcade games into the collection-they will be the subject of my next two videos more than likely. Thanks for watching and thanks for the compliment!

[@Shelldor1970]

Awesome Collection!!!!!

[@yurgen309]

Unbelievable. Man, your channel is the bomb. The collection, the stories, your presentation, this is the real deal! This Chanel should get much more views in my opinion. I’m in love. Going to wait for more videos. Keep ‘‘em coming!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks so much! I hope I can keep them fun and entertaining :)

[@Amythologyy]

Would love to spend a full weekend in that arkade room! Amazing collection!

[@tcurtis49]

I really need to spend more time in there playing games myself. I’m always too busy moving to the next project. But we certainly love having people play them!

[@splugereport]

[@pizzathehut5808]

This is simply amazing! Those road trips must be a ton of fun too

[@tcurtis49]

Love the road trips. That truck has served me well. My youngest son Graham went with me to pick up Race Drivin. We very nearly ran out of gas in Illinois when we had a huge stretch of interstate with no stations. Basically drifted into one on fumes. That was a long day…but the fun really begins after unloading and trying to get these games up and running again. Thanks for the kind comment!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Wow!…just incredible! Collection of a lifetime! 👌🏻

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! It pretty much encapsulates my lifetime. Glad you enjoyed it!

Incredible collection, layout and display!

[@AerynGunn]

Nice video! A few things that caught my eye from your collection were Robotron (which would be the first game I'd play), The Police Quest game, Final Fantasy and I believe I spied a commodore 64. But the entire collection is awesome.

[@tcurtis49]

Loved those games, although I was more into Dragon Warrior on the NES. Definitely C64s in view-I did a ton of programming on them and we all traded cracked games back in the day. You can show us how to really play Robotron :)

[@selfhelphero6897]

Incredible collection!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks!

[@erikhoffman5659]

What an incredible collection! I was born in 1995 so most of this was before me. However, I respect the history of the entertainment medium I love so much. The N64 and Zelda: OOT is what started it all for me. Love that it's your favorite on the N64, just happens to be my favorite game of all time!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks! Some of it predates me just barely but the cool thing is you have so much to find and explore from all eras of gaming, Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thriftdweller]

Bro this is probably one of the best collections I've seen! Congrats! Great collection!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks, man. You've got some awesome stuff as well!

[@taramcblakeshire8516]

When I was a teenager back in the early 80's I used to play the original Mario Brothers arcade game. I was able to get the score up to where the game would freeze because it didn't go any higher all 9's.

[@tcurtis49]

That game is on my kids’ wish list. There was a wide-body” version with a shorter than normal cabinet that was more common…I’ve been keeping my eyes out for one :)

[@HDBO261]

This is an absolutely beautiful collection of gaming history!!!! Well done, sir. I also love your arcade restoration videos!

[@tcurtis49]

Thanks!

[@joenickel9948]

I think it's safe to say you have one of the largest, pristine, highly curated collections in the entire world...if not THE largest. I've truly never seen anything like it. I've watched all your restoration videos and thought your collection was the greatest ever, and at that point I had only seen what was in your basement! I know this is a personal collection, but as someone who grew up with a NES, gaming was always a big part of my life. It's just nice to know that there are people out there like you preserving gaming history to this level. So many thrown away boxes from the 80's! (of which I'm guilty of) If i lived by you i know where i'd be getting my teeth cleaned

[@tcurtis49]

Haha, thanks! There are definitely larger and more valuable collections out there but mine really reflects what memories I wanted to hang onto. I definitely have a dual hobby with the console games and the arcade games but it’s all great nostalgia for the 80’s :)

[@BCRBCRBCRBCRBCRBCR]

Thanks for sharing. Many found memories of the same game. Did you ever visit Spaceport during your time in Bloomington? Marble Madness at IMU was a favorite of mine.

[@tcurtis49]

Absolutely! Spent a lot of quarters at Aladdin’s Castle in the College Mall growing up and occasionally made it to Spaceport as a teenager. Played a lot of Dragon’s Lair there. I think Marble Madness was gone from the IMU while I was in college there-I remember playing Ivan Ironman Stewart Racing with my friends quite a bit.

[@jimbeam275]

Absolutely stunning 😮😮

[@tcurtis49]

Thank you! 😊

[@remyrowdy]

Everything about this is incredible. The attention to detail, the time it took to obtain, restore, display your collection is astounding. Even the filming, editing and footnotes were done well. Good job, Sir.

Thanks! Get to it on your collection :) Next video will be a Pole Position arcade restoration which should be ready soon. Then a Nintendo World Championships video and more of the video game collection. Still a fairly new channel and hopefully will reach more people eventually. If not, we’ll have fun without them!

[@tcurtis49]

I would love to have a dedicated section for PC and even earlier gaming. I have many classic computer systems going all the way back to my original TI99/4A that I got in 4th grade. Most of my big box games are my personal ones from back in the day and they need more glory :)

Amazing you live the dream!

[@CRTechRetro]

This collection is very clean and displayed so well. You can tell that you pay attention to every aspect/detail and have a passion for this. Its so crazy that retro games have become so rare and expensive mostly due to the illegal market pumping and collusion teqniques of selfish individuals/companies. There is no place in this hobbie for those who only wish to get rich off of the great things we love so much. Its refreshing to see a real collector who is an orthodontist of all things. Ironically because other dentist who called himself a collector was really just trying wata too hard i mean way . The whole truth is starting to come out. I really enjoyed seeing you let not only that stadium events go but the little sampson and the bonks adventure in that nintendo youtube movie. I have mixed emotions on that piece of...media but i really enjoyed your involvment. Love your contemt and keep up the great work. Apologies for the comment being all over the place ans way too long.

[@tcurtis49]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m definitely a collector for the main reason that all of these games bring back fantastic memories from my younger days and I want to preserve them. No worries about the all over the place comment-it’s all good :)

[@SlicksDead]

Good to see a 3DO.... :) I have a near complete and sealed North American set. Still hunting about 25 games for it. I didn't see any 3DO games in your collection though and was hoping to see a Kiosk :).. Super crazy and awesome collection you have there btw!

[@tcurtis49]

I agree! And I do have 3DO games now :) I found a few sealed ones at a gaming expo in Chicago this summer to get the ball rolling. I think they are very cool!

[@TheJackelantern]

@@tcurtis49 Oh that is awesome! You will find the 3DO to be very challenging to collect for ...., it is one of the more difficult to complete despite its smaller library than most other consoles. Tons of variants such as the Canadian Street Fighter II box vs the standard NTSC box. I particularly love this system just because there is so much to collect for this obscure system. I even have the box positives that were used to make the 3DO Wing Commander III boxes. :) I wish you happy hunting and I hope to see an update video highlighting some of your 3DO collection :) .

[@bountycode]

Amazing collection! Loved the Pac Man arcade machines. The C64, The original EQ and Vanguard boxes. Great job filming and narrating this collection!

Good eye! Did you happen to spot the WoW server blade in the video? It was the server I played on when the game launched.

[@ZombieKillerx115x]

This was stunning!! Over the years, I have seen hundreds of various gamerooms across youtube, but this one HAS to be one of my favorites! I think it's the arcade carpet you put on... Regardless of the impressive size, display and rarity of your collection, I think the thing that absolutely sold me on the video was your enthusiasm and small tidbits of information on each item you showed off! It really showed off your passion and care for your collection and it was a joy to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@tcurtis49]

It's not seen in the video but not only do I have a TI-99/4A, I have my own original TI-99/4A that I got new when I was in 4th grade so I could do programming in BASIC. I have some vintage computers here and there as I too have a lot of memories with those systems.

[@roguedr0id]

Awesome! That was my 1st little PC when I was 7 yrs old. Lol! Parsec was my jam on that. As I got older, I loved putting in what felt like hours upon hours of code to change the screen color from green to purple. 😂 wish I still had mine.

Awesome stuff, Tod. I started collecting in '98 just to try and get as many NES games as I could. I had no idea it would end up being one of the best investments of my life. I passed up too many great things at killer prices because I already had them. Though I completed the NTSC set, I wish I would have stuck with it and expanded my collection like you before things became so crazy!

I'd certainly love to go back and just buy buy buy :) And I knew that some of the stuff I was buying was likely to be worth more in the future but I had no idea just how much. It's been crazy for sure!

Absolutely in awe of your collection, your variety of kiosks is incredible! Congratulations on tour collection and youtube channel.

Thanks! Hope to have plenty of fun deep-diving into some of the cool stuff over time.

You have legitimately the coolest collection I’ve ever seen. How do you find the arcade units and kiosks that are for sale?

[@tcurtis49]

Kiosk collecting groups on Facebook, FB Marketplace, occasionally eBay. Back in the day many were on Craigslist. They are much harder to find now than years ago.

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful collection and passion Tod. It insprires me to keep collecting the various video games, trading cards, and comics I love even with a family and one day having the space to display it even half as nicely as your collection.

I love seeing all collections big and small. It’s a great hobby and finding stuff that gives you joy is the whole point. Good luck on all your collecting endeavors!
