Video Game Console Collection by Mike Matei

Mike Matei's video game console collection!
I really wanted to discuss some game consoles I own that we haven't talked much about before. So I've highlighted a few systems from my collection you may not have heard much about before and I hope you find it interesting if you're into retro gaming.

[@Pikaso1986]

I would love to see you talking about obscure systems in detail in the future. That would be awesome

[@mattford6848]

Chris 86 And the Gaming Historian to do it with would make it epic.

[@Mikebloke]

Was expecting cdi, 3DO and other stuff, but was pleasantly surprised

[@satan2583]

p c 9 8 ? ?

[@olschoolTonyCarter]

@@Mikebloke I had a 3do. Always liked that system.

[@dimzim5957]

love that I can hear the high pitched ring noise from the CRT

[@grato555]

I can't watch this vid cuz of it

[@sebastianriz4703]

I actually cant handle that noise from older TVs. The older the TV, the more I can't handle.

[@dimzim5957]

@@sebastianriz4703 it does hurt my ears a bit, I can't lie about that, but there's something so nostalgic about that noise that a CRT without that noise feels wrong. Even if it hurts my ears, it's a comforting noise that brings me back to childhood.

[@MrFiver1111]

It's just electrons being excited and having fun, hahaha

[@mikematei]

@NPC #34254334 Response: I don't either. I think at a certain age you cant hear it any more

[@JonKratz]

Wow, so many consoles and boxes in one video! Thanks, Mike! 😁

Oh don't you talk about his boxes, he LIKES boxes!

Yeah Mike, Link Between Screens was my favorite Zelda game

More of this please.. great history lesson.

[@kaimcdragonfist4803]

“Dragon Wang, one of my favorites” is a line I’d never be able to say with a straight face. Because despite being 27, apparently I’m 12 years old

[@rhysperegrine5100]

I'm 38 and as soon as I heard 'Dragon Wang' I came straight to the comments to hear what people were saying. 'Came'...heh heh...

[@finegentlemanincrocs]

The character's name was shortened to D.Wang in-game, too

[@TheAuron32]

@@rhysperegrine5100 glad to see someone older than me did the same thing lol, im 33 and my brain is telling me nah, 9 at best.

[@thedeeds7777]

when he said that i had to go see the comments lol.

[@saiphascain6883]

Love the old Commodore monitor. Those things were real workhorses.

[@TokuNorth]

Everybody else: Gets the most popular consoles Mike: Gets all the obscure ones

[@mondomondo1526]

It's a shame the obscure ones are also expensive too :(

[@ryanyoder7573]

The obscure ones are the most interesting

[@nickdraco8435]

Heck yeah!! Obscure consoles are AWESOOOOMMEE

[@thedillestweed2644]

How is the PC Engine and the Sega III obscure?

[@charliericker274]

He got the popular ones like 20 years ago when they were cheap, or kept them from 30 years ago.

[@thirdimpacted]

You have no excuse. You are morally obligated to do a James & Mike Monday video with the Game Of Life controller. And if you only have the controller and not the game, that just means you need to get a copy of the game that controller was made for.

[@juggalouniversity8386]

lol

[@DMZPlastixofficial]

WOW that's an awesome collection of consoles! I'm impressed!

[@sammylane21]

That "Marty" system's shape kinda looks like the PS3, huh??

[@lilschnowyguy]

Thought it looked more like a dreamcast prototype, wonder if theres a link to those two systems...

[@reedernick]

This is Mike at his best. I’m normally not at huge fan of videos without James in them, but this one was very informative and excellent. Keep up the good work!

[@Jdbye]

I've barely played the original Zelda and I still recognized the different music right away. Granted I already knew about that particular feature of the FDS.

[@disguyovahea]

Mike's enthusiasm is absolutely infectious.

[@Ilias24.]

Trueee

[@danonecuvisine]

That is one hell of a collection Mike. Congratulations, this takes dedication!

[@Southpoint2019]

Lone Wanderer and money.......lots of it

[@BeerdyBruceLeeCentral]

It took only 2:20 seconds before a Zelda game was mentioned 🤣

[@AlexyoTheFirst]

Nope 0:23 because of the twin famicom box

[@gyromurphy]

I mean... If old games are being talked about.. Its pretty much a prerequisite. Like...you kinda just have to.

[@Amcor09]

And? What's the problem with that?

[@unclesporkums]

"MCFLY!" "Ah, Fujitsu-san! Konnichiwa!" "McFly! I have just noticed you've not been promoting my system enough! You are terminated!"

[@UtushoReiuji]

I love that snuff film ambient hum in the background.

[@ThEjOkErIsWiLd00]

....how many snuff films have you seen?

[@UtushoReiuji]

Eight.

[@muhanc.a.9299]

O.M.F.G.! Mike owns the Atari Computer, My first videogame system! (0:13 the gray console in the lower left with the big 5 buttons) Now I demand a gameplay of Bug Hunt!

[@Cuuuuuuurtis]

I googled Dragon Wang at work. Terrible career move...

[@gyromurphy]

NSFW

[@feralstorm]

I saw that un-torched CD-32. I shall renew my badgering for a J&M Monday with good CD-32 games like Chaos Engine or Super Stardust.

[@Lordborak316]

Jet strike is a must

[@georgenelson8284]

Great video Mike. Alot of stuff I never heard of. Very informative.

[@jakek5417]

Good ole Commodore 1702 monitor. Yours even has the front panel cover. Great video!

[@jesuszamora6949]

No Casio Loopy? 🤣🤣🤣 As for the FM Towns Marty, it's basically a revamp of the FM Towns, a Japanese computer. IIRC, the 3.5" floppy drive is to play FM Towns games.

[@Southpoint2019]

Jesus Zamora and incredibly expensive

[@GadgetUK164]

Worth getting yourself a Neo SD (or Neo SD Pro) for the AES there! You can play EVERY Neo Geo game then!

[@cheebiman]

I really enjoy these kinds of videos, thanks Mike!

[@Twitrad13]

Thanks for the vid mike! I missed your solo videos about retro stuff. Hope we get some more soon

[@LakerZombie]

Really cool idea for a video Mike. I've never heard of most of these and i'm around the same age as yourself and James. Great stuff!

[@marvinmobley6294]

You're the best mike always so enthusiastic and great attitude

[@koolaidman531]

Had that Mario 2 glass on the shelf during your Bally's part. Wish I still had those. Love seeing stuff like that.

[@TheRealBurgerKing09]

This is pretty nuts I have watched a lot of collection videos and I haven't seen most of these consoles or controllers. Awesome!

[@CraigOrangeSoda]

Yeah but we gotta remember Mike has Big Giant *DRAGON WANG*

[@krischn23]

One of my favorites!

[@aaronbays4]

Uuuhhhhh, Bevis, he said wang. Yeah, but its like huge Dragon wang. Does that mean it pisses fire too??

[@CKru8789]

Dragon Wang 😭

and here I was getting worried that there were no more comments about mike's massive wang

6:05 "Dragon Wang. One of my favorites." I bet 😉

[@EEE-1409]

Ayo 🤨🤨🤨

[@gyromurphy]

What's cool about the Twin Famicom is it doesn't turn into the color of pee 30 years later like the NES does

[@apfeltee34]

Yes maybe because it's not grey or white but red

[@sonixthatsme]

Well they do fade in colour.

[@gyromurphy]

@@apfeltee34 ..... You just couldn't let me have that one. Let me think things aren't pee colored, OK? It gets me through the day.

[@SHEEMBA]

Love these types of videos!

[@smileydude0]

Outstanding! Very educational

[@lion123]

It's super interesting, I wouldn't mind if you made a 2 hour long in-depth video about more obscure consoles!

[@mikematei]

Maybe I'll do a follow up to this someday and discuss more.

[@bootygroinweevil2181]

Imagine playing Resident evil with a Hasbro spinner controller.

Love these types of videos thanks for sharing. I also still have my commodore as well

[@SuperPeteTube]

Thanks for sharing Mike! This was awesome.

"They just don't do [wacky and weird] stuff like this anymore" Nintendo Labo, and especially Labo VR, says HI. ;-)

I'm familiar with everything except that Game of Life PS1 controller. Of course I want one now. Thanks. 😣

Great video man, would love a series on this

[@NJDrew]

This was awesome thanks for sharing these systems

[@TheLambLive]

Those of us who grew up with tape loaders (Speccy, C64 etc) never complain about loading times. It's all relative. :-)

[@Shxdow_x]

Skyrim tho... ;)

[@lieutenanttofu8334]

The novelty of flipping the disks outweighs any inconvenience of waiting for the FDS to load ;)

[@josean6287]

Those bells on the Zelda theme made it sound way more epic than the original cartridge theme

[@JonKratz]

Absolutely!

[@danerd8978]

I first heard it on the Japanese OST releases from the 80's and 2004.Famicom Music Vol.2, Famicom Anniversary Soundtrack Vol.1 and Zelda The Music. Metroid and the Castlvania games have better sound tracks with the Sound Expansions also. I finally bought a Famicom this year with a couple of games and the Ram Adapter for the FDS. I didn't get the Disk System, instead I bought a device that runs the Game Disk Rom images like a multi cart.

[@caliklepto1316]

9:05, I can't imagine how much that is worth.. The normal turbo graphic16 with bonk on the box goes for 2000 bucks, but a rare holiday version.. Oh man

[@boneyjensen]

Dang! This was awesome to see. Thanks a bunch

[@kumiliarostreamsarchives3079]

Much respect to Mike Matei. After seeing his twitch streams, he is the ultimate retro gamer.

Isn't the Neo-Geo 1:1 for arcarde ports, because it uses the same motherboard, or something?

[@InuYugiHakusho]

Thanks for sharing, Mike.

[@MyApanas]

[@frankbizzoco1954]

From what I've heard the enhanced sound is muffled a bit on the twin famicom from the original with external drive. Both of those consoles are serious pieces of gaming history and I want at least one of them.
