[@mrmojorisin8752]

I started console gaming in 1981 and collecting in 1989. Obviously, the collection shown in this video required and requires an enormous amount of cash to put together. But what impresses me more is the space and, especially, the time required to manage such a collection, and keep adding to it. I should think that would be close to a full time job! Also, I wonder how far back the collection goes. If it dates from Atari 2600 or pre-Atari, and if most everything is boxed/complete, probably including some sealed games, then it must be worth more than $1.6 million. My collecting journey has been of a different nature because I have purchased very few of my games at retail price, either from stores, fellow collectors, or game dealers. Nevertheless, my NES collection (as one example) is complete (all boxed) except for Stadium Events and a couple others. This was “doable” only because I started so long ago, when games that are super expensive now were cheap and plentiful in the wild. It’s been fun.

[@mrmojorisin8752]

@@Ephesians-yn8ux I admit you have an interesting take. At what does a passionate collector become obsessive/compulsive? When has the line been crossed and how do you (or we) know? As I noted, I have almost every NES game complete in the box (short about 3 or 4) but I’ve never played 90% of them. No one would call me an addict.

[@Ephesians-yn8ux]

@@mrmojorisin8752 Thats actually a very well formulated response and question to hit me with, let me take a crack at it. I would say the two positions aren’t always synonymous and that you can be a collector of something without it becoming an addiction, while being aware that it has the ability to evolve into addiction territory if discipline and moderation aren’t exercised. Nothing wrong with having nostalgia for the things we had as kids being a motivator to collect. If you are playing the games you buy and having fun this doesn’t apply to you. I would say a couple warning signs off the top of my head would be If you are buying games due to the fear of missing out, compulsion, or you are trying to compete with another person to beat their collection size, or are motivated to attain a title that someone else doesn’t have purely to incite jealousy or envy from said person. If you are buying games instead of spending money on necessities or bills, things of that nature. There could be a thousand other hypothetical scenarios we could come up with but I think if you’re honest with yourself you can find out what it is that’s creating the desire to buy a particular game, and if that reason is purely to slip it into the shelf in its alphabetical place and then move on to the next purchase, well if you make that a habit it can go south fast. This doesn’t mean just because you’ve done that a few times in the process of getting your NES collection complete that this is a judgment against you. If your goal is to get a complete set then you knew what you were getting into and surely there are going to be some titles that don’t interest you but you don’t meet your goal without them. I get that. If this is happening with several consoles at the same time or your goal is to get as many games as possible just for the sake of amassing a large pile of plastic that you can show off to guests, I would say that’s skating on thin ice and you’re in the business of consuming, not collecting or gaming.

[@JohnM-ji8db]

I think "The Last Gamer" in Australia may have this beat. He took the Guinness World title in 2009 but never re-upped it due to it taking 3 weeks to inventory his then massive collection. Currently, he has a custom-built warehouse that is approximately the size of 4 Super Walmart Centers showcasing his Unbelievable collection of Arcade cabinets, Computer Gaming consoles, Game Consoles, & Handhelds. He has his very own Food court inside of it which he often caters to private parties. He keeps adding to it daily and gets over several tons of donations monthly.

As a kid as some point I think we sold star wars rogue squadron, and I gave away my pokemon stadium. I regret it so much. I also have not found my hexen n64 copy for about 8 years either. Other than that I still have my whole collection. My collectors focus was never to be a massive collector who has to collect everything he sees, instead I focused mainly on NES and have around 92% of all the games. Honestly I do not really care about having them all, I just wanted a huge enough collection to fill up a massive shelving unit in my basement. I also collected somewhat for SNES and N64, but for SNES I mostly only concentrated on quality games, since its the console I hold the most dearly to me from my childhood and I just want to have a collection of games I will actually play. For nintendo 64 I think I focused on getting all the n64 fps games, and just random titles. I'm not one of those people who got to conventions, and active brag about my collection. I will say what I have, and that is mostly it. I havent really collected any new games in a few years, mostly just because all I have left for NES are the most expensive titles. and most of the "Expensive" titles arent so great anyway except for maybe 10 more that I might consider if prices drop a bit. Sadly it doesnt look like that is happening any time soon because it appears retro gaming has gotten even bigger / wannabe scalpers are just buying everything up artifically making a lot of worthless games 100x more expensive in the past couple years. Totally sucks when scumbags want to ruin a hobby people do for fun right? I could care less if tomorrow all my games together became worth 5$, I rather see retro gaming accessible to everyone.

As for me, my gaming collection is around 400. Steady climbing the bar, I love it as well!

Wow! This guy inspires me so much!

[@Styraxtwinblade]

That's pretty cool , collecting games is a hard thing to do in life but this guy achieved his dream.

[@Rizky06]

From the time you were born to the day you die, these games could never be fully played.

[@ripmyname3533]

Not true, but either way what’s your point?

[@videogameopenings4489]

@@ripmyname3533 might be true, but his collection like 90% of videogame collections (quantity over quality) are filler. Seriously, a good chunk of the stupid expensive games aren't even fun; just stupid rare. Playing with the top 1000 videogames ever made is very doable.

[@ryandann9362]

20,000 games, fully played. If each game only took one hour to fully play, so let's say beat is fully play, that's 20,000 hrs. That's 833 days to play 20000 games at an hour each never sleeping or eating or doing anything but playing. Except the majority take well over an hour to beat. Some take 60 hours. I think his statement is true.

Cool collection but man, so glad im a minimalist.

The Last Gamer has to be up there. Even though i think he's selling his collection now.

[@EternalDarknessAboveTheBlueSky]

That's a lot of games, almost as much as John Hancock's collection.

Hancock is a scamming thief.Dont send that guy anything...not a penny.

@@marybetheby5184 and Last Gamer had a more kickass collection and set up Sadly I think he sold his collection to a guy in Sweden last year. Dude was more passionate than this guy. Just look up his room tour from 2017 or Games Room which was the more recent when he added an actually arcade room with over 97 machines

Till this day I am still looking to buy the original Battletoads game for Gameboy. When I was a kid that was my fav game for the longest time.

I’d always be in fear of some disaster event happening like a fire, hurricane, flood, or tornado just happening and destroying it all. This guy needs to build an underground sealed bunker warehouse/gaming lounge to keep all of it in. I’d start a go fund me for such a project if I was him.

[@Abel-Alvarez]

I bet he enjoyed the quarantine, I would've never been bored.

[@Autistic_Pixel]

I bet he rarely plays a game, probably has OCD and organizes everything to death instead.

That's cool! But also like... that's like owning a bunch of books just to have on shelves, but most of which are never read.

[@jessicaescobedo7122]

He probably doesn’t even let his children touch any of his games. He’s probably more over protective of his video games than his own kids.

can't be larger than all the games in my steam library i haven't played

Basically a hoarder who will never play 99.9 percent of the games while they just sit and collect dust.
