This video got recommended to me on CZcams today. I remember how cool it was to finally stand in this area of your house a few years ago and see it all for myself. Rock on Gamester81!!
this is the first gaming channel i ever found and this is the first game room tour i ever watched. 4 years later and i am still so very impressed by the quality of your show, and this collection is absolutely awe inspiring. keep doing your thing yo
Totally amazed by the entire collection of systems. A lot of them i have never seen and ive seen a lot in 49 years. I am sure this collection has even gotten bigger too. Awesome private collection. Great commentary. You know your stuff.
Never in my life have I seen someone with so many video games. From the very first gaming systems and handhelds to the current. You are and may be the first and only true gamer in the world. It's just truly amazing to see your collection
Maybe an updated game room tour down the line one day? Want to see the new and improved awesome game room and maybe some new collections and decorations you have done for the game room as well. 🎮
I think he gone to far. He needs help for this. He looks humble and a overall nice guy. This guy is at Michael Jackson levels. Time to grow up. My advice: Time to look at your collection at face value. Why hold on to a VHS console for 30 years it's only worth $20 today. 75 cents a year.
That's a pretty amazing collection. Love how you have a good amount of old school personal computers, those are pretty key. I remember our portable in elementary school had a Commodore 64 we all used to try and play a Daffy Duck game on.
John - just recently subscribed to your channel and am loving the vintage console reviews! Great to see your collection and very informative. Always cool to see the retro stuff and geek out. Awesome channel!!
Now THAT is some serious gamer nerd armament!! I've had the Atari 400 and Commodore 64 (as highlighted in this video). Computers/consoles just seemed to be a whole lot straightforward back then!
Yeah... specially for having a wife that lets him not only buy all those great things but also keep it at their home. Congratulations not only on the collection (so far) but also for having such an understanding wife.
see. you're the perfect example of guys who don't just throw their lives away, but you got a wife, a nice house, and your awesome hobby. And you're healthy. You are living it up. I wanna have a life like yours. :)
Thanks John for letting us have a peek at your amazing console collection. It's nice to see that you've been somewhat discerning with regards to your game collection and haven't just gone out and bought every single title you can for each of those machines just for the sake of owning them. It was a real eye opener for me as to just how many different machines there are out there. However, you need some more classic British machines; I didn't see a Spectrum, Amstrad CPC or BBC Micro in there.
i had to watch this video twice just to make sure i wasn't seeing things damn man this is one of the best collection of consoles i have ever seen love your passion for collecting..
Simply fantastic collection and a great video. Thank you for going to the effort of giving us an update. Its great to see where you are now with your collection.
Wow, thats is an impressive collection of gaming consoles.. you could easily open a museum and people would flock to see and play all your awesome games
Amazing man,... I thought I was a gaming nerd. Your knowledge is encyclopedic and watching you rattle off all those titles was seriously incredible. Hope someday my collection is 1/10 as extensive!
Unbelievable collection, John. Everything is very well organized, too. I really like the various drawers that have the games for each console. Very cool, man. A nice updated room tour for sure! :)
Outstanding classic collection. I had acquired about half of your inventory until I could no longer justify the space it required. I did keep my Vectrex with complete multicart and custom Vectrex arcade controller, Atari Jaguar w/CD, Dreamcast and original Xboxes (I wish I had kept my NeoGeo AES). Thanks for a great video.
Great video, I love how you have the games lined up by year. I am working on a NTSC collection of all systems, so I only need 30ish systems. I am jealous of you Jaguar CD and Adam PC would love to pick those up some day. Thanks for the video.
this is extremely impressive!! i wish i had a hobby i took this much pride in.so many people are asking if you ever play them all. i think they don't understand the point of collecting something. it's more about the thrill of the hunt and the pride in your collection, not necessarily in being able to play all those systems all the time. you probably have some favorites that you play once or twice a year, but i bet you play ps3, wii, and 360 the most just like any other gamer.
Awesome collection. However, I only counted around 100 consoles, unless you are counting Game & Watch and LCD handheld dedicated games as consoles... Either way, absolutely cool collection. Do you have an updated video of your console collection? I'd love to see it.
i was just imagining me being you showing my consoles and games off. i envy you john. keep making videos about the consoles. i love all the details you give. i often wonder if there are others out there like you who just dont post videos
this blew my mind i would pay to go and see this in person lol the best collection ive ever seen.i had no idea that there was all these different consoles and your wife lets you keep all this even cooler
I had the Fairchild Channel F, then got the Mattel Intellivision. After that I went to computers with the Tandy CoCo, and then an Atari 800xl and an Atari 520ST. After the ST, I went to PC clones, which I have built every one of them. Then in 1997 I got an N64, which became my last console I ever owned. It was an amazing console, and to this day, has THE best controllers made, IMHO. I am now PC gaming only, and do not like today's consoles, but I miss the old ones like my Intellivision and N64. The Intellivision was and still is my all-time favorite console! Great games on that console! I now have emulators on my PC for the Atari 2600, 5200/7800, ColecoVision, Intellivision, Commodore 64/128, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, Tandy CoCo, Ti-99/4a, and M.A.M.E. with 325 arcade game ROMs! Emulators are a great way to experience those systems without having to find them on EBay, but they don't let you TRULY experience them in all their glory with their controllers, peripherals, etc. as actually having the hardware like Gamester81 does.
Very cool collection. It's amazing that a modded Xbox can run an emulator for most of the systems you have there, as well as hold the roms for the entire game library for each system. Technology moves fast.
Dude the Nintendo M82.....holy balls that is amazing, have you ever seen it in it's full cabinet version? It's a hulking beats and looks like an arcade machine but damn impressive man. Seriously your console collection is mind blowing!
WHOA! I had no idea that Pioneer was a game console, we have one sitting in our garage and I assumed it was another media center device that Pioneer is more inclined towards. Time to go dig that machine out.
This is the first video I've seen with a Texas Instrument. That's the first game console I remember playing. I was three and learned to do math with a game called Number Magic. Also had Hunt the Wumpus.
If you were ever to open your museum (gameroom) up to the public, I'd take a flight to wherever you are located to be first in line! I can't tell you how many times I have viewed this video already.
I must have seen this video like 12 times now. Still amazed, you should sell tickets to your museum I for one would make a trip from NY just to see this in person. Might leave puddles of drool behind though...lol.
Have you ever thought about putting your games on a shelf where they would be displayed better? The way your systems are displayed is awesome and I think it would be really cool to have the games on display like that as well.
You know, people say he has no life, and they pity him. But think about it. He has a hobby he likes, is financially secure, and makes enough money to pay for it
This video got recommended to me on CZcams today. I remember how cool it was to finally stand in this area of your house a few years ago and see it all for myself. Rock on Gamester81!!
I wonder if Bruce Wayne has a videogame study that large , 😲😲
Thanks for sharing! Yeah wives can come in handy in the production side of things
this is the first gaming channel i ever found and this is the first game room tour i ever watched. 4 years later and i am still so very impressed by the quality of your show, and this collection is absolutely awe inspiring. keep doing your thing yo
Game stop will give you $20 for all of that.
lmfao
LOLthats the truth.
🤣🤣
Yes so very true, GameStop doesn't respect vintage game valuation,,,lol
Totally amazed by the entire collection of systems. A lot of them i have never seen and ive seen a lot in 49 years. I am sure this collection has even gotten bigger too. Awesome private collection. Great commentary. You know your stuff.
Never in my life have I seen someone with so many video games. From the very first gaming systems and handhelds to the current. You are and may be the first and only true gamer in the world. It's just truly amazing to see your collection
Dude that's awesome. Keep collecting consoles. Many of these consoles brought childhood memories.
I appreciate you taking the time to share all of this with us. It is fascinating. Thank you. ~Barry
"This is in high definition" Boom...out of focus...
Practically half of those consoles no one has heard of. Which makes your videos, especially this one, awesome. Great video dude!
Maybe an updated game room tour down the line one day? Want to see the new and improved awesome game room and maybe some new collections and decorations you have done for the game room as well. 🎮
Great job setting up all those consoles. Quite a feat getting them all on display. Thanks for the tour!
saw this ages ago, but just had to watch once more, amazing collection John.
Wow ! This is not a collection............it's a museum.........! Nice.
I think he gone to far. He needs help for this. He looks humble and a overall nice guy. This guy is at Michael Jackson levels. Time to grow up. My advice: Time to look at your collection at face value. Why hold on to a VHS console for 30 years it's only worth $20 today. 75 cents a year.
Dust collection
Value
Fantastic John, its great to see all these in the museum! Camera looks incredible, cant wait to see more!
Just found this a little late. Great system collection, like all the pongs and early consoles. Thanks for sharing your hobby!
Dude. Your collection makes museums cry. It's like a Mecca for gamers.
That collection is insane! But it warms my retro gamer heart.
That's a pretty amazing collection. Love how you have a good amount of old school personal computers, those are pretty key. I remember our portable in elementary school had a Commodore 64 we all used to try and play a Daffy Duck game on.
Pre e-begging days, this is a snapshot in history ;)
The amount of systems you have always amazes me. Excellent new room tour John, You've added a bunch since the last video.
John - just recently subscribed to your channel and am loving the vintage console reviews! Great to see your collection and very informative. Always cool to see the retro stuff and geek out. Awesome channel!!
South America at least showed the Master System the love it deserved.
Now THAT is some serious gamer nerd armament!! I've had the Atari 400 and Commodore 64 (as highlighted in this video). Computers/consoles just seemed to be a whole lot straightforward back then!
Yeah... specially for having a wife that lets him not only buy all those great things but also keep it at their home. Congratulations not only on the collection (so far) but also for having such an understanding wife.
Agreed 💯👍... Understanding Wives = Rare Gems
Thank u for inviting me on this retro console journey.
Quite the extensive collection you got there. Gotta say, a very large majority of those consoles I have never seen or even heard of.
Great collection. I thought that I was the only one who remembered Captain N'!
@DeizelMassacre Yeah now it's in 1080p. Thanks for being one of the first to watch.
see. you're the perfect example of guys who don't just throw their lives away, but you got a wife, a nice house, and your awesome hobby. And you're healthy. You are living it up. I wanna have a life like yours. :)
Absolutely amazing collection John... so happy you took the time to show us your large and unique collection! Great video :D
@PloPail Actually it was my wife who helped me film this. She has always been very supportive of my hobbies.
I'm very lucky! =)
Thanks John for letting us have a peek at your amazing console collection. It's nice to see that you've been somewhat discerning with regards to your game collection and haven't just gone out and bought every single title you can for each of those machines just for the sake of owning them.
It was a real eye opener for me as to just how many different machines there are out there. However, you need some more classic British machines; I didn't see a Spectrum, Amstrad CPC or BBC Micro in there.
Amazing collections mate! The number of systems is crazy!!!
i had to watch this video twice just to make sure i wasn't seeing things damn man this is one of the best collection of consoles i have ever seen love your passion for collecting..
Simply fantastic collection and a great video. Thank you for going to the effort of giving us an update. Its great to see where you are now with your collection.
Dude props for the most amazing console collection i have ever seen and sick game room.
Amazing collection!! Thanks for takin the time to show us bud :D
Wow, thats is an impressive collection of gaming consoles.. you could easily open a museum and people would flock to see and play all your awesome games
I can never get enough of that Pioneer Laseractive. Still keeping my fingers crossed I run across one of those someday. Awesome collection!
Why would people hit the unlike button for John's video? It's just a tour!
It could be argued that hoarders, sorry, collectors, like this guy, are a root cause of escalating prices for everything.
Amazing man,... I thought I was a gaming nerd. Your knowledge is encyclopedic and watching you rattle off all those titles was seriously incredible. Hope someday my collection is 1/10 as extensive!
As a video game player and collector myself, I extremely impressed...I will have to show you my game room that I made from a walk-in closet...
Epic. And I thought I had a lot of consoles. So neat to be ale to see them all together. It IS a console museum.
Unbelievable collection, John. Everything is very well organized, too. I really like the various drawers that have the games for each console. Very cool, man. A nice updated room tour for sure! :)
remembered those names like a boss
The Amiga 500 and the Neo-Geo AES had me drooling. Great vid
Awsome collection. Brings back loads of memories.
i liked the fact that you have those computers as well as the consoles, very cool collection
No X68000? Beast computer any collector should own.
Man your collection is so amazing I watched this video twice!
being a gamer is a fantastic hobby, so glad you're enjoying it too :)
Outstanding classic collection. I had acquired about half of your inventory until I could no longer justify the space it required. I did keep my Vectrex with complete multicart and custom Vectrex arcade controller, Atari Jaguar w/CD, Dreamcast and original Xboxes (I wish I had kept my NeoGeo AES). Thanks for a great video.
Wow man you're over average collector and you are the true answer to rare gaming and more. Keep a eye out on upcoming systems and games!!
Great video, I love how you have the games lined up by year. I am working on a NTSC collection of all systems, so I only need 30ish systems. I am jealous of you Jaguar CD and Adam PC would love to pick those up some day. Thanks for the video.
Awesome update man - and I love the Hanzo HCG signed poster. I need one of those!
this is extremely impressive!! i wish i had a hobby i took this much pride in.so many people are asking if you ever play them all. i think they don't understand the point of collecting something. it's more about the thrill of the hunt and the pride in your collection, not necessarily in being able to play all those systems all the time. you probably have some favorites that you play once or twice a year, but i bet you play ps3, wii, and 360 the most just like any other gamer.
I don't think anyone needs to tell you how awesome your damn system collection is!!
Awesome collection. However, I only counted around 100 consoles, unless you are counting Game & Watch and LCD handheld dedicated games as consoles... Either way, absolutely cool collection. Do you have an updated video of your console collection? I'd love to see it.
I'm not a gamer but still liked your video. very organized, good collection, nice room.
i was just imagining me being you showing my consoles and games off. i envy you john. keep making videos about the consoles. i love all the details you give. i often wonder if there are others out there like you who just dont post videos
I wish there was a video game museum that had all the consoles and pc's from the past but that also let you play every game ever released.
this blew my mind i would pay to go and see this in person lol the best collection ive ever seen.i had no idea that there was all these different consoles and your wife lets you keep all this even cooler

Emulators are a great way to experience those systems without having to find them on EBay, but they don't let you TRULY experience them in all their glory with their controllers, peripherals, etc. as actually having the hardware like Gamester81 does.
I just picked up Diner on the Intellivision, great game.
Very cool collection. It's amazing that a modded Xbox can run an emulator for most of the systems you have there, as well as hold the roms for the entire game library for each system. Technology moves fast.
It's hard to believe that video games are 50 years old now. 50 years since the Magnavox Odyssey.
Wow that one hell of a collection.
Best video game collection I've ever seen!
Awesome! :)
Awesome collection. I laughed out loud when I saw your copy of Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the 2600.
Dude the Nintendo M82.....holy balls that is amazing, have you ever seen it in it's full cabinet version? It's a hulking beats and looks like an arcade machine but damn impressive man. Seriously your console collection is mind blowing!
that nintendo m82 is badass, insane collection dude
Amazing collection, thank you for sharing.
I watch this video about 2-3 times a week! Seriously impressive collection,.
WHOA! I had no idea that Pioneer was a game console, we have one sitting in our garage and I assumed it was another media center device that Pioneer is more inclined towards. Time to go dig that machine out.
that room is a gamers paradise,good job!!!
This is the first video I've seen with a Texas Instrument. That's the first game console I remember playing. I was three and learned to do math with a game called Number Magic. Also had Hunt the Wumpus.
If you were ever to open your museum (gameroom) up to the public, I'd take a flight to wherever you are located to be first in line! I can't tell you how many times I have viewed this video already.
Wow! Its like a museum of video games :-)
Impressive console and computer collection!
Now that's some gaming room!
Wow very cool collection. Most of them I haven't seen before. Wish I had some of those old consoles.
I must have seen this video like 12 times now. Still amazed, you should sell tickets to your museum I for one would make a trip from NY just to see this in person. Might leave puddles of drool behind though...lol.
Have you ever thought about putting your games on a shelf where they would be displayed better? The way your systems are displayed is awesome and I think it would be really cool to have the games on display like that as well.
You know, people say he has no life, and they pity him. But think about it. He has a hobby he likes, is financially secure, and makes enough money to pay for it
Amazing collection John! I had no idea the Casio Loopy or Funtech A'Can even existed. I really like the drawers you have to store your games!
Absolutely the coolest!
IMPRESSIVE. You sir, are a gaming god!
So awesome Gamester! Would love to game out in there for a weekend.
Don't recall seeing any Spectrums in your collection, you need them in your life, pal!
Shaggy Daz Yes Atari?
Thats a very nice collection there. I only have a very small handful of a collection.
My hero and new favorite youtube channel!
You don't mind if the next time I'm in town I swing by with a box truck while your not home? ;)
Awesome room John like a freaking museum.

Insane collection
