I hope you don't mind but I'm going to use this pinned post to ask you to take part in our 2024 calendar by submitting your photos of games from your collection. Here are all the details, thank you so much! This post contains everything you need to submit your photos. To date we've raised £19,532 for good causes, and 100% of money raised will once again go to charity this year. Let's get to it!... The topic this year is "Boxed Games". Celebrate the art, manuals, media and the physical joy of a boxed video game. Get creative with your setting and arty with your photos which are: 📷1920x1080 minimum resolution 📷Landscape aspect 📷Space around the subject for me to crop if I need to Send your photo to [e-mail] ASAP Final deadline for submissions Friday October 6th. Let's talk about this year’s chosen charity which is a very personal choice this year so I really hope we can make a big difference. Cirencester Opportunity Group is a local playgroup enabling children with special needs to play and learn with other children www.opportunity-group.co.uk/ I've been volunteering at COG every week with the awesome kids there as part of our adoption journey 🤗 Their support has allowed me to spend time with so many brilliant children and to share my experiences with our Social Worker in building a case for the board to approve us as adoptive parents. We still have a long way to go but will be forever grateful to COG for their help. Thanks to our printers @1clickprint for printing the calendars, and @heberltd who are helping with distribution this year. If you'd like to support COG and help me, say thank you then please take some awesome photos, send them in and support this year’s charity calendar.

[@El-Ritmo]

I wish you nothing but the best with your adoption journey - I hope that it has the happiest of endings 💗

[@smiler289]

I have an excellent idea for a boxed game to take a photo of, there's literally loads of disks and manuals in the really cool box and it's cover, ooh exciting haha

[@davekennedy6315]

That is an amazing collection and its so nice seeing Davids very clear enthusiasm for the subject. Thanks for taking us round and thanks David for letting us all look round!

[@LigreDesubi]

I really like his passion and dedication to consoles. Love to see videos like this one a lot. Thanks!

[@broza82]

Wow now THIS is literally a gaming console heaven! Props to this man for keeping all of them in pristine condition. Brilliant video guys 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidandrews298]

Thank you 🙂

[@GadgetUK164]

What an awesome collection! Very nice indeed!

[@davidandrews298]

Thank you 🙂

[@P5ychoFox]

Amazing collection. When David gets the PC Engine Rom Rom, he needs to display it with a packet of skips.

[@moloch5801]

As soon as I saw the Casio Loopy, I knew David was a man of good taste! Thank you for sharing your collection with the world.

[@DaveVelociraptor]

I love the music at the start. I actually like the nice relaxed music during it. But the road trip music!

[@TierfonOrbital]

What a nostalgic trip down memory lane. So awesome to see your entire collection David! Ive only heard about it until now but seeing it in live action is truly something. Absolutely beautiful presentation of them in those glass cabinets as well.

[@anumeon]

Someone needs to get this man an Apple Pippin. He deserves one for his collection of consoles.

[@davidandrews298]

Another one that has been on my want list for a loooong time 🙂

[@pedroTFP]

Great video and thanks to David! I really hope to see more of these in the future. Would be nice if possible to ask the collector to share some peculiar facts about the history of the collection (fun episodes, rarest finds, best deals…).

[@daliboriliev5710]

It was 1997 and i had a super nintendo and a Game Gear with tuner i borrowed from my neighbour. Took a wire with chinch socket, put one side in the SNES and the other side of the wire i exposed the middle and wrapped it arround the Sega's TV tunner, and voila we tuned in the channel and played Mario Kart on that tiny screen of the game gear. This would probably still work today. Keep these videos coming!

[@datamanmachine]

He missed the Gamepark 32.🙂 Im long enough in Videogame Collecting that identify every Console he has. I Remember the Time you could import a Mega Jet (Even JAL branded) for under 50 bucks from Japan or buy a 32X for the same in the Box. This i 20+ Years ago. Miss those Times😪

[@Snohup]

The white handheld near to the Nokia n-gage is the GP32. It has an awesome clicky joystick. I think it was only released in South Korea and Spain.

[@Daz555Daz]

Lovely chap. Great collection and a wonderful display.

[@snowman5020]

Just a beautiful collection, you should be very proud. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@pajaco6502]

That's a lovely and beautifully displayed collection. And I love the odd new thing tucked away in there like the evercade. Awesome :)

[@retro_reflections]

An absolutely incredible collection - needs more Colecovision though. 😊

[@danyoutube7491]

Sega SG-1000, interesting - I never knew that Sega made a console before the Master System! @7:10 I'm not sure if I like that translucent Sega case, it looks kind of - oh, actually it's cool, it says so on the top. A masterstroke by the designer :)

[@robleavold84]

Master system 2 was my first console after only having a Commodore 64 and the MS2 was quite popular in Australia and I still have huge love for it till this day and still have my original console.

[@Oribaa90]

Wonderful! I own more consoles in my collection than you do but you probably have the most beautiful collection! This was such a great presentation. Those consoles look perfect with the lights. Appreciate your hard work and passion! It is great to see someone with the same hobby and working hard for it. Greetings from Germany

[@smiler289]

I spotted a Zipstik! My all time favourite joystick, what people would now call a controller which is rather less joyful haha. What a wonderful collection, its amazing how much people care for things,its brilliant and a great rmc vlog 👍

[@TimEasleyUK]

Awesome collection, would looooove to see everything displayed with the boxes though! I worked in the games industry in the 90s and had loads of these so it's brought back memories and made me want to set up like 100 new eBay searches! 😂😂

[@JestersDeadUK]

Thanks for the tour guys!

[@B_M_A]

He should spend some time and restore half of these, not so much replace components but restore as in remove the yellowing from a lot of them. Would really make it looks like a very clean setup. Super wild collection though, holy!

[@davidandrews298]

Agreed. I just haven't plucked up the courage to try retro-brighting yet 🙂 I would love to get the PC Engine in particular back to looking its best.

[@metreilly]

Great video. Would love to see more like this. The variations of how people present their collections and what inspires/drives them is fascinating. Really enjoyed sitting back and taking all that in.

[@Colin_Ames]

What an outstanding collection. Thanks for making the trip so that we could see it.

[@Chris-yc3mm]

Always enjoy the intro to these. Good music

[@TheStwat]

Wow. Massive respect to David. 😎

[@RetroRewind77]

Wow what an amazing collection and so well displayed, really like that he’s taken the consoles out of the boxes for a better look.

[@davidandrews298]

Thanks 😀

[@Sarcophagus74]

I was thinking at first, what's up with that older guy collecting all those systems. Then I realized I am that old too. LMAO!

[@MrChristiangraham]

Fantastic collection, and beautifully displayed. I'm not into gaming at all, but it's always great to see and hear someone else's passion for something outside of my wheelhouse. Thank you for sharing, David.

[@davidandrews298]

Thanks 🙂

[@Supersimagicguy]

The rock music at the start was just a little too exciting for me. Steady on Neil 😂

[@TheDarkHour684]

Outstanding collection, and a wonderful collector. Thank you Neil and Andrew for this trip down memory (and fantasy!) lane!

[@atomiswave1971]

Awesome to see private collections like this.

[@sciencemadeusrobots]

Crikey, I think I’ve wandered into an alternate timeline - I didn’t recognise about 25% of these! Amazing collection!

[@dazsly]

Nice collection. 🎮

[@trebordraw]

Brilliant, i'm so envious of this collection, looks like a dream.

[@TheUnitedView79]

This channel has gold quality content! New sub 👍🏻

[@paulos9900]

I had never even heard of these pre Sega Master System Sega consoles.

[@RetroGamingNook]

Amazing collection. I could write a book on all my thoughts, but I'll leave it there... Amazing!

[@kalofkrypton]

Surprised that Gizmondo hasn't disintegrated! 🙈 Wicked collection!

[@retromegabitsegadude]

I'm also a fan of the Sega Mark III games. Excellent collection you have here. Someday I hope to find Alex Kidd BMX Trials for my own Mark III collection. Thanks for sharing!

[@jamesnewman4351]

WOW!! For a moment i thought he had one of the two Sega Plutos as well . What a collection and fabulous music beginning the video👍

[@paul_boddie]

Maybe one of the Plutos could make a flying visit to West Sussex at some point. There'd be a video about it for sure!

[@mrjsv4935]

Fantastic collection and very nicely displayed :)

[@davidandrews298]

Thanks 🙂

[@JustinCardiff]

Nice setup, classy.

[@TanjoGalbi]

He needs the Sony Net Yaroze to complete the PlayStation one collection! 😛

[@davidandrews298]

Funnily enough, I was looking at those the other day 🙂

[@DavidDatura]

One glaring console emission here…the Intellivision! 🤯

[@3vi1J]

Awesome collection! Really nice displays too.

[@tommylee4350]

I loved this episode.

[@danyoutube7491]

I didn't realise that Neo Geo games were THAT expensive, wow. I suppose the logic was that you were paying for arcade quality to play at home. I had forgotten what the original Xbox looked like, I think it is the best looking one (my brother had the 360 and I think he now has the Xbox One). I agree that the Japanese Sega box art is superior to our British/European ones, I never had a Sega console but the strangely spartan and uniform backdrop that dominates every case made them seem almost indistinguishable from one another at a glance, and quite the antithesis of the colourful and exciting games found within the box. I suppose that they chose that design as a way of making the Sega section on the shelves stand out, and perhaps to give the whole range of games a common identity. But if that was the intention, one would think they'd go for something more engaging and colourful than that bland grid of thin lines over a white background.

[@erichsouza]

Awesome collection indeed! For my it's just missing the Intellivision. Many people hated it but I have very fond memories of it. Nowadays it becoming harder to collect since the prices are going way too sky high.

[@SonicMrSumo]

Impressive collection. I'm jealous!

[@bertiebassat5545]

Great video! I do like cave videos, but I got into this channel when it seemed more hobbyist and probably prefer the older content.

[@RMCRetro]

Glad you like to still dip in from time to time, thank you for that

[@Peridot0]

Regarding the Atari 2600: I know there were a couple re-branded versions of the console. Here in the U.S., Sears put their own brand called Tele-Games on the machine. I had the Coleco Gemini which was an Atari 2600 in a tighter, more compact gray case. It came packed with a port of Donkey Kong.

[@davidsmall6322]

It's surprising how uncommon the PC-FX was, even in Canada. They were all over the early morning ads, for a bit. No real takers. Don't remember a single friend owning one. I do regret not being able to pick one up, at our local small town Radio Shack. By 1991/92, they were available for about $50. Missed the last one they had by about 10 minutes. Real spoiler.. I don't think our Radio Shack had any games stocked.

[@BottIsNotABot]

Shame he didn't mention his GamePark GP32, lovely collection though!

[@Retrobution]

I spotted that in the distance earlier in the video! I had one of these, the front lit unit, and eventually went on to the gp2x XD loved the gp32

[@chriscrossan8034]

Casio Loopy - Collection complete.

[@mccrh7737]

Epic Collection 😮😉👏

[@agntdrake]

Super nice collection, but I was surprised there was no Atari 5200 and no Net Yaroze.

[@remka2000]

It was NOT exactly the “european” version of the Pc Engine, since we had it in France, distributed by Sodipeng (Guillemot bros - now Ubi soft). It even had a scart (peritel), and the games had a sloppy photocopy translation of the japanese manual. No idea how much these would cost now though…

[@TrackZero]

"TurboGrafx-16, difficult to find these days." Whaaaa??

[@4879daniel]

I think it’s because he wants boxes, manuals, etc.

[@TrackZero]

@@4879daniel Plenty of them around complete. I'd assume it's more the price. I grabbed my TG16 somewhere around 2017 for $50 USD (everything except box and manuals), now similar sales are ~$350 USD. So bizarre how cov1d screwed up the pricing even on these systems. TG16's were overproduced like crazy, wouldn't sell back in the day, discount units sat on shelves into the early 2000s. My local radio shack had it's units sit in the window so long they were completely sun bleached.

[@JJW410]

I've binging the channel lately (really enjoying it), and I have to say I've really noticed how poor the thumbnail and titling is. I have no doubt this channel would have WAY more viewers if both were better. Not clickbaity, just engaging or descriptive. I just clicked on this for having something to watch but had no idea it would be a cool exploration of one man's glass museum of retro consoles. If I DID then I would've clicked on it way sooner. But the first thing you read is "Sege Mega Jet to N64DD", most people are not even going to know what they are. "Exploring One Man's X-thousands of £ Videogame Museum" is way more interesting. The videos are great. But thery're being under-sold big time. And the thumbnail is a washed out screen grab with some random consoles and not a beautiful shot of one of David's displays.

[@TheStevenWhiting]

27:46 I did, sold it all recent to pay bills. The psone, a 3rd party screen and gamestation draw.

[@amigacoverdisk]

Great collection, thanks for sharing it with us! Does he have a CD32 or the abomination that was the C64GS? :)

[@davidandrews298]

Thanks. CD32 is on my list of consoles I would like to add. Just a case of waiting for a nice clean boxed one at an affordable price 🙂 Somehow, I think the C64GS completely passed me by!

[@mrmobbs350]

I really enjoyed this video. It’s so much fun seeing other people’s collections & hearing their stories…. Only complaint is he has the virtual boy stand attached the wrong way around 😅

[@davidandrews298]

Thanks. I have corrected that. How did that happen! 🙂

[@CraigBuzz]

Absolutely fascinating, what an amazing collection and presented so well. Thanks for sharing with us.....I'd love to know where to get the clear perspex console / controller holders from

[@davidandrews298]

Thanks. 🙂 There are links above for the perspex stands.

[@ThaVoodoo1]

One console he is missing is the Commodore CD32.

[@deanodley]

Great collection but am curious re the white dots on the consoles. Looks like splatter from a paint roller???

[@AmigaFanatic1980]

Needs a CD32 to fill out the collection (unless I missed it!)

[@davidandrews298]

Its been on my want list for a while 🙂 Just waiting for a CIB version at the right price.

[@dogsauce19]

Great video! But why skip over the GP32?

[@RMCRetro]

Honestly, I had over 5 hours of footage from this trip. Decisions had to be made!

[@vjcodec]

Somebody sell this man your sg1000 box. 🎉

[@byronlaw6491]

The supergrafx I would like to give a word of warning about. The system needs to be opened up and a plastic tab cut off inside the unit. If this isn’t done the console will break. The tab is pushing on some traces. I opened mine and removed this before it could break. It was a manufacturing flaw.

[@Oribaa90]

Can you give me more information? I own a SuperGrafx and I don't want it to break. What exactly do I have to remove? How did you do it?

[@byronlaw6491]

@@Oribaa90I will give you a link to a video showing you what to remove. It’s a plastic post inside the console that presses on the traces.

[@dant5464]

The poor Wii U is sat facing towards the wall 😅

[@cnervip]

probably ashamed of itself XD

[@TrackZero]

As is tradition. ;D

[@davidandrews298]

Well, that's a little embarrassing! Two mistakes in the same cabinet. I obviously wasn't paying attention when I last placed the Wii U back into the cabinet. It's facing the correct way now 🙂

[@cnervip]

@@davidandrews298 "bad wii u bad wii u, to the corner"

[@dant5464]

@@davidandrews298 not meaning to nit-pick - it just tickled me slightly. :) My Wii U is still under the TV, though I've not played on it in a while.

[@ThisOldChris]

Nothing from Coleco? Colecovision was my fist real console after Pong. We later had the Atari module.

[@davidandrews298]

There is a Collecovision in the collection. Unfortunately, that is part of the footage that got left on the cutting room floor to keep the video at an acceptable length.

[@TheStevenWhiting]

What do you do with a collection like this where caps have a potential to quietly detonate? Like the Mega CD model 1

[@Videogamearcade]

He’s a little bit behind from the collections some of use has here ,but nice video 👍

[@imnickleonard]

Great collection. Where are the cabinets from and was lighting retrofitted as it works really well with a lot of consoles in each

[@davidandrews298]

Thanks. The cabinets were from a company called DisplaySense. The one I bought no longer appear to be available, but there are new ones that are listed under their Retail Display section. I added the lighting myself. A 5M LED strip for each cabinet worked great to go all the way around and back to the top to exit for the power.

[@pepealexandre]

11:00 No Nokia N-Gage QD?

[@davidandrews298]

The QD is one I always meant to get, especially as I was sure it wouldn't sell well, but it disappeared rather quickly!

[@JesterEric]

Does he not have a Spectrum collection?

[@davidandrews298]

I limit my collection to consoles only. With the exception of the recent X68000z, I don't get any computers. My rule for that is whether they require a keyboard to be used. Although I have had plenty over the years, Commodore Vic20, Spectrum 48K+, Atari 520STFM, Amiga A500, numerous PC compatibles etc. Don't own any of them now apart from a couple of Intel NUCs that I use for the usual day to day stuff.

[@JesterEric]

@davidandrews298 that's fair enough. I just seriously collect for the systems I owned as a child and have nostalgia for. That would be Atari VCS and MSX computer

[@adamdiaz8442]

No mention of Atari lynx 😂

[@KentRoads]

Doesnt even acknowledge his most expensive handheld (Man Utd GameBoy)

[@RMCRetro]

With over 5 hours of footage I had to edit a lot for a 30 min episode, so it’s not for the lack of love for each system, just my editing

[@eliotcole]

Get an Atari XE, David ... THEY'RE SEXY!!

[@syrus3k]

NEO . GEO was the absolute SHIZNIT. Didn't have one, but saw one once and knew that was the absolute don of consoles.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I want McDonald's! Are we there yet? Joey's touching me! Are we there yet? I have to go pee pee. Are we there yet?

[@Schming]

:O No Atari Lynxes. Unsubbing :P

[@deegeegeeretrogaming6684]

I love the Collection. ❤👍😍

[@DnBclassictunes]

Amazing collection. So happy people collect and share these consoles on the channel

[@Asobitech]

Lovely console collection, a good variation of the main brands, and well presented in those glass cases. Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@althejazzman]

If anyone's wondering why the NES with the Super Mario Bros cart looks a bit odd, that's because I'm pretty sure it's made of Lego!

[@mattnordsell9760]

That Pokemon N64 was available here in the US as a Toys 'R' Us exclusive if I remember right for where it was available here.

[@DavidWhitley]

made my day Neil, im a console collector, so this episode was fantastic, thankyou.

[@somehow_not_helpfulATcrap]

The GameGear TV tuner can work with any RF outputting console or VHS player. It took a lot of sticking my finger out at the correct angle but I eventually dialled it in to the point where I could watch a tape playing downstairs on my GameGear in my bedroom. Picture quality was rubbish, sound was foul but it beat smartphones to the media consumption game by at least a decade and a half.

[@arcadeages3917]

Really love his NEC cabinet!

[@xliquidflames]

What a bonkers collection. I had no idea most of these consoles existed. I recognized about half of them. I would love to have half of the Nintendo consoles he has. And he has all the boxes and manuals and everything. If I had tbe money to be a collector, this is what my collection would look like. No mods, all like new and complete in box. Man, what an awesome collection. But I would have a lot of them set up ready to be turned on and played instead of in a glass case.

[@proteque]

Such a nice collection. And great calm and pro way of show and tell.. Love it!

[@DavePoo2]

For a collection this large, I always expect to see a big puddle of capacitor electrolyte underneath each one.

[@TheBic4]

No Atari Jaguar cd?! Also the controller is fine literally everyone who trashes it has never held it longer than 5 minutes. He needs to get a 3do m2 in there but those only pop up on eBay every few years.

[@Pezzapoo]

awesome collection thx for showing it
