Video Game Collection / Game Room / 5000+ Games

[@caprilaser3]

Amazing collection dude! Has to be one of the best retro gaming collections on KZbin. As a big Nintendo collector myself I can totally appreciate the condition and display of all those games. Thanks for sharing 😁👍🏼

[@tadpole1313]

Hey welcome back. I appreciate the kind words. Condition really means a lot to me personally, I feel like collecting is also about preserving the intergrity of the games so I really try to avoid beat up stuff. But I also see the benefit financially to grab stuff a little beat up but it is just not for me.

[@alexiep2422]

Amazing collection ! Never stop collecting my man. This is an amazing hobby that will always pay off !

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

Clean rooms, I like how they’re seperated: one for retro and one for current. Strong Collection, only weakness is what you’re lacking for the PC. That, and lots of doubles.

[@tadpole1313]

Thank you, I have always wanted just one large room to display it all but having seperate rooms helps you do different themes for sure. Despite all these games I have etc I am horrible when it comes to computers. So never got into PC for that as I can't trouble shoot a computer issue to save my life haha.

I understand having issues setting up games for the PC, but that’s a big part of the reward in enjoying them.

[@tadpole1313]

Thank you I try really hard. :)

[@boothman9321]

Honestly if I had this nice of a collection I wouldn't even play the games. I would just emulate them (except the newer consoles of course) so I wouldn't wear on the games and consoles through continued use. Just looking around a collection like that while I'm in my underwear playing god knows what sounds like a perfect life. Good collection my man.

[@tadpole1313]

I understand. I have considered everdrives but there is not to many games that I return to on a frequent enough bases that I am stressing about wear and tear. I do think for some of the higher priced and rare games emulation might be a little better but I am pretty careful with them for sure.

[@SolarLeigon1324]

[@tadpole1313]

Wow thanks for the kinds words. Yeah the way the game rooms works out with the different themed rooms worked out nice. Just kinda happened as I started putting it together. I am actually in the process of moving so in the next 6 months or so I might have another room tour with a different set up. Thanks for watching especially the whole thing. Even just briefly talking about the stuff I spoke about still made this video as long as it is which is crazy, so to sit thru it all I don't expect many people to do.

[@da7thangel]

I really enjoyed watching your video bro I got some games too the way you set it up was amazing can't wit till your next room Tour I added your video to my Coolest room set ups playlist I recommend people watch your video it was well done and presented perfectly I recommend people start with a full view of the room before anything else weldone my brother excellent work :)

i'm seeing this a lot lately , people having full nintendo rooms and then putting some sega goodness somewhere in a corner like a bad behaving kid :p I'm a sega fanboy myself altho i had nintendo from the Nes untill the N64 before switching to Playstation back in the day but i started loving sega after that

[@tadpole1313]

W-Tek Yeah that makes sense. I tried to keep the older games to one room and then soon relized that Nintendo is the dominate amount of games for my older set up. However when I go back stateside I find my set collecting Sega more as they are easier to find complete in the wild.

[@tadpole1313]

Travis Bates I do have a pretty small on later in the video with a famicom hooked to it and then I have a larger one sitting in the closet that I did not show in the video. I understand CRTs give the best image for older games and newer tvs have a slight lag for older games but it has not been to the point in which it has really effected me so I do not mind playing on newer tvs.

[@Cam-j5n]

Cool collection bro! As a collector myself I aspire to have a room to store all the stuff I've amassed over the years. I'm sure your collection is probably fucking massive by now

Zoutje The Gamecube was a excellent system. While not the powerhouse that the PS2 and Xbox was it definitely had a ton of wonderful games.

Older video, but I figured I'd try to ask what you use to wall mount your amiibos? I've tried a few things now (command hooks, tacks, nails) nothings really worked that well without damaging the box...

[@tadpole1313]

I just use Thumb Tacks. I hang the amiibos from the opening in the box so I am not damaging the box its self. If I feel the box is to heavy like Detective Pikachu I then stick a extra tack or so at the bottom for the box to rest on so the top tab is not taking so much of the weight.

[@ealswytheangelicrealms]

3 of my most rare and expensive SNES games are Dragon Quest V, Dragon Quest VI and Final Fantasy V put out by a small retro gaming company called Timewalk Games. Did this company have any connection to Nintendo? When did these games come out? The 3 games I mentioned were released in Japan for the Super Famicom but not in the U.S. In the 1990's as far as I know. These games were originally English translated ROMs playable on an SNES emulator on a computer. This Timewalk game company put out these English translations on SNES reproduction carts with reproduction SNES labels in boxes that look like original SNES boxes. Do you have any of these Timewalk games or any others this company produced? I have a LOT of my gaming friends searching for these Timewalk games but can't find them for sale on eBay or any retro gaming store. I wonder how many games this company released and if they were only English translated RPGs that never came out originally for the system. ..

[@tadpole1313]

I am familiar with Time Walk. They were one of the best if not the best companies on the market for these reproduction cartridges. They made great box art and would even go the extra mile to do manuals and posters etc. I remember when you ordered something from them it would take somewhere between 8 to 12 weeks or something like that as they would put everything together from scratch upon order. I personally ordered the Super Mario World Return to Dinosaur land from them and had every intention of also getting Starfox 2 at the time. So I ordered Mario and I was going to wait til I received that before making the order for starfox 2. During that period of waiting for Mario they announced they were closing due to wanting to spend more time with family and there real jobs. (Most speculate they had pressure from bigger companies and potential lawsuits so they made the wise move to get out of it) I was fearful they were not going to send the Mario but to my surprise they finished the active orders they had. Time Walk are really sought after today as they are still some of the best aftermarket games available. To answer your question of how many games I do not know. But I believe they closed down back in 2013 or 2014.

[@ealswytheangelicrealms]

Tadpole1313 - Another gamer here messaged me the Timewalk games are super rare because it was a 2 man operation and they produced very few games. He said the games sell for $500 now because of rarity. Only reason I have them is because they had English translations of Super Famicom RPG games that never came out for the Super Nintendo. It is the only way I could play Final Fantasy V, Dragon Quest V and VI in English.

Yeah, I prefer to see clean tight collections over mass hoarding messes. I clicked on this "collection" out of ALL the posted collections because the thumbnail intrigued me with its very organized shelved games.

[@tadpole1313]

I am glad it caught your eyes. I always love to see the different set ups people have because everyone organizes stuff in there own original ways. I especially like the videos were people have less room then me but somehow make it look very organized. Not sure if you watch the game chasers but they just did a new updated room tour and I was actually shocked at the set up they had and the appearance. I recommend checking it out.

[@notnooryno]

Where did you get all of those plastic protector sleeves for your games?

[@tadpole1313]

Sorry it has taken so long to respond. I purchase all the protective sleeves from a company called Retroprotection.com. The guy that owns it is great and easy to work with.

[@notnooryno]

@@tadpole1313 Thanks!

[@highvoltage816]

you have some amazing wow collection. shame that some games only come download. i hate that i like physical copy so that means i own it digital game mean i will never own it. are you not worried about digital download?

[@tadpole1313]

Oh I am worried about the future. As such a big physical guy I dread the idea of so much of ths future going digital. But sadly there is not enough people like us who care for the well being of physical media as so many people prefer digital now a days

[@chadkarruer2572]

You should take that middle wall down and just make one big door and room.

[@tadpole1313]

Sadly I am just renting the place as I would love it that was one giant room. However I would actually lose out on a bunch of space by doing that as I utilize that wall on the game room on the right side and the closet is packed. Not sure how or where I would put all that stuff if that wall was not there.

[@ktulu084]

WHERE do you buy all those shelves? I have almost 1,900 games to catalog myself.

[@tadpole1313]

ktulu084 The name of the shelf is Atlantic Media Elite Tower. Really good shelf for what it holds but kinda cheaply made.

[@funtrade7159]

Not taking away from this dude’s cool and crisp collection....but our inventory dwarfs this something fierce! We started in 1999 and had a small chain in Montana. Now we have just one store and we never did online sales...so our brick and mortar inventory is epic!

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

FUN TRADE Well, you have a store. Of course you would have more inventory than an individual collector, lol.

[@moveit987]

So you moved with all those games to Japan? Wow! Living there with that much space just to use for your Lair ... very nice ;). Guess not living directly in the area of Tokyo or Osaka then :).

[@tadpole1313]

moveit987 Yeah it is pretty nice. I wish it took up less space at times but ai love the appearance and how it looks. So I can't complain about that. In the future I will move again, not sure where but would love to have a large basement set up for sure.

[@JettPyreYTP]

You're missing Amazing Island in your GameCube collection

[@tadpole1313]

Prince Bloodbat Yes I am. Is it worth trying out?

[@donaldxavier2056]

Im your 1000th sub? Good shit!

[@tadpole1313]

Wow that is awesome. Thanks for the Sub man I appreciate it and thanks for checking out the channel.

[@ozera16]

I collect for the ps3 not going for a complete set but trying to get games that I actually will play., in the 132 number. I would love to collect every game but dam that would be expensive... How do you afford all these. I think I enjoy more the hunting for rare games than actually playing them or buying them from the store

[@tadpole1313]

adem It is expensive for sure. Just years of collecting led to this. I am a sucker for rare games as well. PS3 was a fun system and a lot of cheaper titles at the moment make it fun to collect for I am sure.

[@mflexx3280]

awesome collection damn!

[@tadpole1313]

Mflexx Thanks. I appreciate you checking out the video.

[@rj5485]

Very unique collection! By the way its "Doki doki which means "heart throbbing or pounding" not "doko doko" which means "where (where)"...

[@tadpole1313]

Nice I did not know that. My Japanese collection is growing fast but my Japanese dialog is non existent haha.

[@budfahnestock2418]

could i ask what you do for a living that you were able to afford all of this, whenever i see collections this prestine and full i just go crazy thinking about how someone has this kind of disposable income. i've been collecting for over 20 years and i've got a pretty nice collection, but only the absolute most important games to me are cib and the boxes tend to be in pretty rough shape and i like to think i do pretty well financially, i know it's kind of a personal question but i have to ask

[@tadpole1313]

Bud Fahnestock I am currently in the US Military. Honestly I probably spend more money than any person should on Video Games. I have a handful of other Military friends who also collect video games but most don't collect at the rate I do. I use to be loose cart collector only and of course disc based games were with the cases however in 2013 I changed the way I collected and focus primarily on complete in box games which has really how my collection has turned out over the past few years

[@budfahnestock2418]

Tadpole1313 wow, kudos to you for your collection then, shows serious dedication and commitment. I understand there's different levels of income but whenever I see something like this I assume trust fund kid or something. I have a few vets that are friends and a few in my family and know what they live off of and it may be decent but nothing like these guys that are able to buy there complete collections in a couple years. Well not to sound cliche but thanks for what you do and keep collecting!

[@levigoldson]

Did you ship all of this stuff overseas to Japan? That's what seems amazing to me. Are you planning on staying there long term?

[@tadpole1313]

Bud Fahnestock Thanks man. Yeah often times I see other vary impressive collections and I ask my self the same question. What do they so for a living haha.

[@tadpole1313]

Jeffrey Basurto my job gets a moving company to move it. Honestly it is very stressful everytime as I have heard multiple horror stories. Thankfully I have bee pretty fortunate with my moves. I will move in a couple years and have to reset up the collection again.

[@NESADDICT]

Nice boxed collection!

[@tadpole1313]

Thank you. I was against boxed collecting for years due to cost but ended up getting hooked to box collecting over time. I love the way they look

[@TugBug08]

Where did you get those posters from towards the ceiling. I love how they're all the same size

[@tadpole1313]

So Gamestop use to have this on display. They were never sold in store but I got them by talking with employees when they changed them out. You find find them on ebay from time to time as well

[@harveylattray8202]

I love your collection keep it up and how long did it take you to collect everything?

[@tadpole1313]

Hey thanks. I have been collecting since 2002 but really got more serious about it around mid 2010. At that time I owned around 800 games so it has increased a lot in just a few short years.

[@MrDirtySouth514]

Wow honestly you got a huge master collection there!! I got 20 fully working system like 3DO turbografx16 all Nintendo and Sega psx and Xbox but I would like to have some more games to each of them but sadly I discovered that I love woman's too so I stop investing in games and I got married thing that I never regretted today still have a great collection not like yours but I'm happy to have a beautiful girl beside me at night

[@tadpole1313]

Oh I completely understand. I am a married man myself, I am just really happy my wife supports me and my hobby. :)

[@WasteWarriors-nm9ek]

Beautiful

[@rmw904]

Really impressive !

[@EternalReplicant]

Impressive stuff dude! How were you able to bring in all your American games, etc?? Did you just pack them all in one go on the plane or get them over little by little? Bet customs were pretty amazed haha

[@tadpole1313]

My job pays for the move so I was able to get a moving company to move it for me. Everytime I move I freak a little as a lot of people stuff come up missing in transit. Thankfully I have not had to much come up missing on my end.

[@EternalReplicant]

Yeah I totally would be on edge too during each move with that big of a collection haha especially with some of the rare things I have, but I'd probably be too nervous not to have them on my carry-on luggage. Sorry for such a long gap, I recently got let go from my job in the states here and I just remembered this post for some reason. So because of that I've been seriously considering on starting the steps to move and work in Japan but I've been rattling my brain on how I'd be able to get my collection and other stuff overseas which made me think back to this. Whether to just take some essentials of my collection on the plane and leave the rest in the states, or find a place to house them all over in Japan. Not to mention all my consoles too... Hm. Anyway, sorry to ramble, just getting my thoughts out! haha
