    I started console gaming in 1981 and collecting in 1989. Obviously, the collection shown in this video required and requires an enormous amount of cash to put together. But what impresses me more is the space and, especially, the time required to manage such a collection, and keep adding to it. I should think that would be close to a full time job! Also, I wonder how far back the collection goes. If it dates from Atari 2600 or pre-Atari, and if most everything is boxed/complete, probably including some sealed games, then it must be worth more than $1.6 million. My collecting journey has been of a different nature because I have purchased very few of my games at retail price, either from stores, fellow collectors, or game dealers. Nevertheless, my NES collection (as one example) is complete (all boxed) except for Stadium Events and a couple others. This was “doable” only because I started so long ago, when games that are super expensive now were cheap and plentiful in the wild. It’s been fun.

      @Ephesians-yn8ux 2 роки тому +6

      @@mrmojorisin8752 Thats actually a very well formulated response and question to hit me with, let me take a crack at it.
      I would say the two positions aren’t always synonymous and that you can be a collector of something without it becoming an addiction, while being aware that it has the ability to evolve into addiction territory if discipline and moderation aren’t exercised.
      Nothing wrong with having nostalgia for the things we had as kids being a motivator to collect. If you are playing the games you buy and having fun this doesn’t apply to you.
      I would say a couple warning signs off the top of my head would be If you are buying games due to the fear of missing out, compulsion, or you are trying to compete with another person to beat their collection size, or are motivated to attain a title that someone else doesn’t have purely to incite jealousy or envy from said person. If you are buying games instead of spending money on necessities or bills, things of that nature.
      There could be a thousand other hypothetical scenarios we could come up with but I think if you’re honest with yourself you can find out what it is that’s creating the desire to buy a particular game, and if that reason is purely to slip it into the shelf in its alphabetical place and then move on to the next purchase, well if you make that a habit it can go south fast.
      This doesn’t mean just because you’ve done that a few times in the process of getting your NES collection complete that this is a judgment against you. If your goal is to get a complete set then you knew what you were getting into and surely there are going to be some titles that don’t interest you but you don’t meet your goal without them. I get that.
      If this is happening with several consoles at the same time or your goal is to get as many games as possible just for the sake of amassing a large pile of plastic that you can show off to guests, I would say that’s skating on thin ice and you’re in the business of consuming, not collecting or gaming.

    I think "The Last Gamer" in Australia may have this beat. He took the Guinness World title in 2009 but never re-upped it due to it taking 3 weeks to inventory his then massive collection. Currently, he has a custom-built warehouse that is approximately the size of 4 Super Walmart Centers showcasing his Unbelievable collection of Arcade cabinets, Computer Gaming consoles, Game Consoles, & Handhelds. He has his very own Food court inside of it which he often caters to private parties. He keeps adding to it daily and gets over several tons of donations monthly. It's like a living museum of video game history.
    This is still nonetheless an impressive collection!

    For the collection the be worth 1.6 million, each game would have to have an average value of 69 dollars which I find to be extremely unlikely. For every game in the collection worth over 1000 dollars, there are probably over a hundred games in the collection worth under 5 dollars

I kept my mint GC complete exclusives collection and some other pieces, but all the NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, PS Vita, GB, GBA, DS, 3DS, X box, 360, Pc big boxes etc all got sold. I made thousands off it. Whenever I miss it i watch stuff like this to remind my self that all collecting will end up like this guy. A room full of trash and little of it cherished. My take anyway, not that you asked.

      As a kid as some point I think we sold star wars rogue squadron, and I gave away my pokemon stadium. I regret it so much. I also have not found my hexen n64 copy for about 8 years either. Other than that I still have my whole collection. My collectors focus was never to be a massive collector who has to collect everything he sees, instead I focused mainly on NES and have around 92% of all the games. Honestly I do not really care about having them all, I just wanted a huge enough collection to fill up a massive shelving unit in my basement.
      I also collected somewhat for SNES and N64, but for SNES I mostly only concentrated on quality games, since its the console I hold the most dearly to me from my childhood and I just want to have a collection of games I will actually play. For nintendo 64 I think I focused on getting all the n64 fps games, and just random titles. I'm not one of those people who got to conventions, and active brag about my collection. I will say what I have, and that is mostly it. I havent really collected any new games in a few years, mostly just because all I have left for NES are the most expensive titles. and most of the "Expensive" titles arent so great anyway except for maybe 10 more that I might consider if prices drop a bit. Sadly it doesnt look like that is happening any time soon because it appears retro gaming has gotten even bigger / wannabe scalpers are just buying everything up artifically making a lot of worthless games 100x more expensive in the past couple years. Totally sucks when scumbags want to ruin a hobby people do for fun right? I could care less if tomorrow all my games together became worth 5$, I rather see retro gaming accessible to everyone.
