[@docheckfire3979]

Legit belly laughed at that phone gag, nice work! Thanks for sharing this :) A true collector who plays the games and shares the excitement. By the way the Saturn cases story hit home for me as well. At one point my brothers and I "to save space" (?) got rid of tons of our ps1 and ps2 cases (including covers and backs) and just had the manuals and discs in those cd wallets. I've got most of them back but man... it's a source of great shame.

I am someone with a family and cant have the time or money to collect anything like this - so I appreciate when I see someone else's collection posted and seeing how they show it off. Good job man, hope your channel thrives.

This is fantastic. I could listen to you for hours and hours talking about gaming in general. Super excited for part two.

[@paulcarter6962]

I used to work for blockbuster. I managed several until blockbusters demise. When I closed my last store I employed a Star Wars nerd who bought several of the shelvings and repurposed them to display his vintage Star Wars figures. If only you could go back in time and raid a blockbuster.

[@JoelSage]

Just a man sitting on the floor with his game collection petting his cat. This is honestly most wholesome thing ever!

[@AllySandrana]

I love how you collect game not only to hoard the game but also love and want to play it. I used to be: buy play and sell the game to buy another game, but somehow I regretted the choice to not keep the game that I really enjoy. Now I always keep the game and not sell it except somehow I really don't like it after playing. I bought many digital games as well because of convenient and discount but recently sony and nintendo closing their store make me realize physical copy is more important. really cool collection to share, looking forward to part 2.

[@franciscobutte]

That's exactly the point. Collect them, know them, play them and enjoy them.

I just got a Retron 77 about 6 months ago, started collecting 2600 carts(very fun) and find I love Atari 2600 game's more than when I was a kid!

[@4dchessplayer516]

@gamingthesystem: Retro - First off thank you for these videos. I have been enjoying your content. You remind me of myself so much. Though I don't collect anymore nor have any physical games except for my Original copy of FF2 on the SNES and ONLY because my Mother who snuck me this game and saved up money to buy it for me. My mother passed away when I was 32 she was 58 and was unexpected. I am still grieving she was my everything However I don't even have any modern systems anymore just a PC. Which by me that is fine as I am 42 (not that there is anything wrong gaming as you get older). I am glad I can live vicariously through you and think about the good times in my life. You have made my life a little bit easier my friend and I thank you for that. I listen to your videos while I do some woodworking, building desks, tables, shelves, catio's you name it. May you be well! Cheers

[@chimrichalds81]

Rest in peace to your dear mother.

[@robertcinardi8552]

You forgot the Cathode Ray Tude Amusement Device. Everyone needs this in their collection to become a true video game collector.

[@AsianSleepy]

Great video my friend. I like that you have a library for your game collection, that you keep separate from your gaming area. I wouldn't recommend game collecting to anyone that hasn't already started years ago either. It's just way too expensive these days, and even common games are over priced. I'm so glad I start collecting when I was a kid. The early 2000s into 2015 were the golden days of collecting for me. Nintendo GameCube has become popular these days but I remember how much hate that console received when it first was released. You could find GameCube consoles for under $30 everywhere back then and games like Mario Sunshine, we're priced at $10. I love the original Xbox as it's my favorite console of all time. I love it so much. That I own a complete North American Original Xbox set. I currently own 6 original Xbox consoles and they all work, including my original system. I can't wait to check out part 2.

[@IMP3TIGO]

Great video! Randomly saw it on my feed and thoroughly enjoyed your game room tour and quirky humor. Love your cat too!

[@PocketFullofGames]

Thanks for this. You've been an incredible resource for helping me get all my systems hooked up. Appreciate the game room tour and hope you start thriving on KZbin. I wish you all the best :)

[@liminal-waves]

Yes! I was waiting for this one! I watched your collection showcase video on your first channel a while ago but I was wanting to see a more in depth and updated one.

[@snrrlax]

The OG xbox's are repairable for the most part. I recommend getting a 1.6 revision then the most of the issues you'd have would be the disc drive. Though I always recommend putting new thermal paste on the gpu and cpu.

[@Punisher6791]

yeah and dont forget to remove or replace the the clock capacitors in those xboxs because they are literal ticking time bombs

[@snrrlax]

@@Punisher6791 The 1.6 revisions don't need it. That's why I recommend those.

[@chrisjones5194]

I think the games play on the Xbox 360

[@snrrlax]

@@chrisjones5194 not all of them. There's a few that are very near and dear to me that are only playable on the og.

[@Jarod_Schultz]

There is something I love about collecting and playing Atari 2600 games. I don't care if other people think they are too primitive. I don't know if it's the simple game play, or simple controller, but many of those games are still fun. I also like the homebrews as well. Lady Bug, Juno first, Space Rocks, and Scramble are some of my favorite homebrews.

Good to see an update to the game collection! I've gotten some good stuff added to my collection, in the time i've been collecting. Just to name a few games, For OG Xbox I got: Call of Cthulhu, Conker live and reloaded, Dino Crisis 3, Silent hill 2, Simpsons Hit and Run and Cold Fear. For PS2 i've gotten: Silent hill 2, Def Jam fight for New York, Castlevania Curse of Darkness, Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, Shadow The Hedgehog, Ace Combat Zero The Belkan war and Godzilla Save the Earth. Hope to See More From the Collection and i'll probably Be making a Collection Tour Soon as well.

Not even minute in and this legend plays the Mario 64 ost for music background. The nostalgia hit me like a gust wind. Thanks for the memory. Excellent collection. (Mr Burns voice)

[@leeloodallasmultibox6172]

For the Nintendo Wii, they released Metroid Prime: Trilogy and it includes all of the Prime games on the Wii console. It was my favorite way to play those games and felt immersive. I used the Wii Motion Plus controller and had no issues. Now if only they added a VR mode for those games, it would be perfect..... Nice collection =D

[@graham108]

Great collection, I was really intrigued by your collection, especially the Atari game variations. Thank you for the tour...👏🕹️🤩

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

So cool! Currently building mine, trying to collect MINT/factory sealed/brand new consoles. I bought a OG Xbox in 2018 that was brand new, sealed for just $250. I took it apart before I even booted it and sure enough the clock cap was nasty. Replaced it and the thermal paste and it has ran perfectly since then. Also got a sealed PS2 slim in 2020 for $300, it did not need anything. My latest purchase was a unopened, first production Xbox 360, build date of April 2006. But it needs ALOT of work, has 16 blown/leaking caps, I guess from sitting so long. It would not even boot. Currently working on it, but it is a challenge and solder keeps clogging the holes . It is crazy opening these boxes that have been sealed for years and letting the consoles see light for the first time.

[@itchy.tasty.]

I highly enjoyed your presentation my friend. Thank you!

[@cobrakai9969]

I really like how you don't primarily focus on monetary values and reselling, as hard as it may be to ignore it. Most retro gaming youtubers have turned away from why they love games and focus their content on why they love money, and it has really soured the retro community for me. Thanks for the cool video! I enjoyed

[@Punisher6791]

impressive collection dude, love watching what other people do with their collections, it inspires me to keep collecting. currently i have 11 consoles : a PSOne, a original playstation, a slim ps2 (the 2007 model) a fat Ps2 which i modded with a noctua Fan, a slim 120gb ps3, a slim Ps4, a funtastic series Jungle Green N64, a black Gamecube with a gameboy player underneath with a EON HD MK2 adapter and a Marseille video Processor adapter hooked up as well for the best possible Gamecube picture. a Dreamcast which i also modded with a Noctua Fan, an original Xbox Version 1.2 which i soft modded using a game save exploit.i also removed the clock capacitor on it to avoid it exploding and destroying the console. and a second Revision Nintendo Switch. and almost 300 games across those systems! keep making great content and sharing your passion for gameing! you never know who it will inspire next?!

Super Mario Sunshine ☀️ and NHL 2003 ironically 2 of the games you pointed out that changed my life for ever. Super Mario Sunshine really Got me into video games. NHL 2003 got me interested in hockey and I played it up through my second year of college. Oh and I got a crazy black cat 🐈‍⬛ just like you but my cat is ferocious 😂.

Cool. I go further back, but enjoyed NHL Hockey on the Genesis. Those were great for the time. Sunshine was cool too. Next time I play through it I'll play the remastered version.

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

Probably the only man who has a whole shelf dedicated to the atari jaguar. And damn that genesis collection! I mean, he's probably got about the same amount of SNES games, but cardboard boxes make that genesis collection look so much more impressive. I do love me a good genesis game. Snes is good, but the sound of the genesis is so unqiue, even compared to the SNES. Grew up with sega smash pack 2, so it's about as ingrained in my nostalgia as the GBA's sound.

[@bigbadchevy6707]

"I'm not here to brag about my collection".... By all means I think that's what we're all here for honestly lol I love to see people show off their collections because then I see games I haven't seen before and will look up the gameplay to see if I want to buy them. I'm very disappointed with my very young self as there's so many gamecube games I use to have and i have no clue what happen to them I'm sure my cousins came over and stole them but I was like 6-7 at the time very short attention span and clueless to what was happening lol...but the amount of money it would take to replace the games I use to have would be crazy for that system I've been steadily over the last couple years buying the games I use to own from local game stores/ a local auction website where the prices are well under market value but specifically the auction prices have skyrocketed but still worth it most the time just it takes a very long time to find what I'm looking for and just as you for me I do not collect sports games for me those are the stinkers though I have alot of them due to winning lots with them in there.

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

Solid gamecube collection. Gotta build it up a bit though. I just love the gamecube so much. Obviously you got the must haves, but there are just so many weird games for it. Those weird third party games like charlie and the chocolate factory

[@JediMastr80]

16:33 - Now I do remember Geist. I borrowed it from a friend and was able to beat it. It did have an interesting gameplay since you play as the spirit / ghost a lot of the time. Some puzzles might require some extra thinking on how to solve them. The only MAJOR downside is there isn't much replayability after you beat it. 18:30 - While I was mainly a PS2 gamer back then, I don't really blame you for getting many of the games on Xbox. The major plus is since Xbox had a hard drive and was DESIGNED to let you rip your music to the hard drive, this opened up a lot more options in many XBox games over PS2. Some games like GTA3/VC and Burnout 3: Takedown would read the music from the Xbox's hard drive and let you listen to them as custom music (integrated into the game). PS2 versions wouldn't do that for obvious reasons. I guess that's why I was glad I played and mostly beat Burnout 3 on Xbox since having a lot of custom music to play instead of the ingame tracks was a major plus. On a somewhat unrelated topic, I really do need to mod my original Xbox. Not only to allow larger TB storage but to save the games to the system and run it off of there, but that's a distant future project.

[@watchmeanimateYT]

12:55 - The Adventures of Willy Beamish is awesome! Finished it on my 386 dx2 66, but I'm sure it's just as fun on Sega CD! Awesome collection btw!

Love the video man keep up the great work, also what do you think of custom plastic cases for NES, the Gameboy, GBC, GBA, and a 32X games. I think they are great for the handheld game since they are hard to display in a way to show them off

[@GamingTheSystems1]

I change positions on things all the time, but for myself, I would only do custom cases to protect a fragile game.

[@nickwallette6201]

I use them for GB/GBC/GBA, because the games are just too small to keep on a shelf in any meaningful way. There's a site that does REALLY nice repro cover art, and they end up looking kind of like DS/3DS cases. Genesis and 32X -- I try to get the original cases for those, but there are several in my collection that shipped in cardboard, so that's all there ever was. Haven't decided what to do about those yet. NES, SNES, Fami, FDS, SFC, N64.. just go on a shelf as-is. I don't really like the one-size-fits-all cases that try to accommodate several different systems. None of the carts seem to fit really well in them, so it's not worth the money to me.
