@@lindaguillory7802 yeah sorry about your loss and thank you so much for having all these games for people to play and share the wealth with everyone. :D
It`s really sweet to see how kind and pride she is showing her collection, it`s always something nice to see someone talking about what they`re passionate about. I also loved what she said about having games for kids to play. I was 4 or 5 when i met an old miniature cars collector who lived in my building and he was really wholesome to let me play with them and even gave me one to keep. I think he died a few years later but here i`m still talking about him. Thanks for sharing your collection with the community :)
I love this woman! She's just like me, takes pride in displaying a functional, unboxed collection. What's the point of keeping it sealed if you can't play with it??
Yeah. There are alot of knick knack games and peripherals that no one know it exist in there. She should showcase this as a mini museum for kids, adults and gamers. Perhaps she should be the orator of how she got each devices and maybe of the history behind it
the most beautiful and diverse collection I have seen. Almost brings a tear to my eye. It's not just games, but you've collected the culture and history of the dimension from the time I was alive. That watch collection too. Wow.
Tyson, thank you. These comments inspire me. This video only scratches the surface of the culture. I hope to show you more of the cool history in the future.
@@lindaguillory7802 oh woah it’s actually you! I love your passion for the arcade. You remind me a lot of my grandma who we just got a classic Ms Pac-Man arcade and it’s all she does. If one of us starts losing she’ll but us off and fix it 😭😭
This collection is a national treasure. Unlike conventional games where you can make a digital copy of the ROM, you can't make copies of these handheld games. Certainly a very unique collection, and I'm glad UA-cam recommended this video.
Damn, I like this Lady. So sad to hear of her husband, passing away, shortly after recording this video. R.I.P and I hope the Lady can carry on with life, enjoy her games, possibly find Love again. Because we all need love and simply be happy. ❤️
wow what an amazing person and what a sad ending to this video..anyway she should definitely make a UA-cam channel showcasing her collection. she have enough material for years !
Hope she's doing ok after her husband passed. Owch. Mad respect for playing the games instead of just wrapping them up to stare at them! Girl gamers rise up lol
OMG. Much respect to this woman! I am so jealous and would love to see her collection. I grew up playing alot of those lcd games before consoles were common after Atari.
That's an amazing collection of handheld and tabletop games. I'm really impressed that you knew how to fix those when you were only 8 years old, that's awesome! I've got about a hundred of those myself - my favorites are the VFD games. Even though they're over 40 years old, they still seem futuristic. The best way to play them is in a completely dark room - they turn into a dazzling light show! Keep collecting!
That's a very impressive collection of game consoles and LCD games that she has. Linda truly has a passionate love for games and it clearly shows in leaps and bounds with what she has collected over the years. My heart goes out to her and her family with the passing of her husband.
This video is WAY to underrated! This should be one of the most viewed gaming videos EVER for what it is! Now my question to her is....DOES SHE PLAY ON TOASTER TOO?
I remember I had Firefox table top as a kid. LCD games had Donkey Kong, Green House and Krazy Kong. She's got an awesome collection. I could spend a month in that room easy.
My gosh. I just saw this and i think we spoke online about bidding on ebay in the middle of the night on ebay in the early 2000s. I remember you mentioning you were an engineer, and as one 9f the few female hardcore collectors. I still collect and have all mine, though they would bot be as pristine as yours. I would love to discuss your collection with you someday. Very impressive.
This is the greatest thing I've ever watched. I've never seen someone with such a committed collection as this describe their super nerdy hobby in such non-nerdy terms. She's basically like "hey, here's a game. Let's play it. Yep, that's a game." She's amazing, this collection is amazing, and I think my faith in humanity was wholly renewed after viewing this.
I am actually emotional watching this! 🤜❤️🤛 You have collected so much history!!! Everyone watching this will find 1 or more things that sparks a childhood memories it's a beautiful thing! Thank you so much for this video
i remember the tiny Pacman arcade.. when i was a kid i use to walk to the mall and play a bit of their game from the displays that was on shelf Awesome collection :D
Kotaku brought this to my attention, but their comment section is a trash fest of barely literate and toxic white male edge lords complaining about race. In comparison, the comment section here is so refreshing. Nothing but love for this woman and her passion for collecting and repairing these systems and sharing the wealth, so to speak, by teaching children about our gaming history. It's always so heartwarming to see stories like these of people whose passions grew from curiosity and turned into something educational and charitable, and I wanted to express my condolences for the passing of her husband, who I can imagine must've been immensely proud of her. What lovely people.
There's a lot to be impressed with here. Because when you consider the socio economic factors that make it more difficult for women, and minorities to have both the time and money to afford massive collections. (Women are expected to be care givers, "the pink" tax, the extra cost of making a black woman meet white standards in an office environment etc etc.) She no doubt overcame a lot of hurtles to get to this collection, and I'm impressed too. I'm impressed and proud.
One simply must admire this amazing achievement! Congratulations Linda! MUCH respect for you and your drive to accomplish such a goal. Also, side note, HUGE respect for your complete NES collection in box :) That is absolutely fantastic!
Casual Women: I can't believe he didn't cry during Titanic. Do men even have feelings? Men watching the end of this video: 🥺 He's the Luckiest man to have a Gamer Wife.

Great collection
Thank you
She is a sweetheart and I wish I could own just a few of those games from my childhood. I was saddened to hear of the loss of her husband .
Thank you
There's a lot of gaming history in this collection that would of been forgotten if not for her. Amazing.
Bruce, you got to know what I mean. There's SO much wonderful history and you really can only skim the surface in short videos.
Mini museum
Just have doubles that can b played
Yeah. There are alot of knick knack games and peripherals that no one know it exist in there. She should showcase this as a mini museum for kids, adults and gamers. Perhaps she should be the orator of how she got each devices and maybe of the history behind it
@@lindaguillory7802 you should consider making a youtube channel
Would "have" damn kids these days.
Ahhh. I bet this room brings back nostalgia of more simpler times.
It does for me just looking at all that glory!
Im telling you. Right now take me back to 97.
I live simple every day! You should try it! And hell yea, I can play a lot of these games today!
Dam they don't make them like you any more. Much love
True this
This lady is awesome. A real gaming historian and a master collector.
Thank you ❤️
I think it funny alot that people think we need to push girls into gaming like is girls didnt plays games in the 90's and 80's

I could imagine she holds the world record for most batteries owned and bought as well.

But does she have the Soulja boy console? 🤔

Thank you Mitch.
I love how she dumbs things down for the non gamer's out there 😂
😂 just using terms that all listeners can understand to reach the broadest audience possible. ❤️
I'd get the feeling that she is not a gamer at present...no PS4/Switch etc..
Is it possible to dumb down gaming more than it already is?
I don't think she's consciously doing that...
You just reminded me of my childhood with those old school hand held games. You’re the coolest!!!
OMG. Much respect to this woman! I am so jealous and would love to see her collection. I grew up playing alot of those lcd games before consoles were common after Atari.
Thanks

Lucky man to have found such an great woman to share their hobby together.
Thank you. We both considered ourselves very blessed, but Thom liked to brag he never played 1 video game. I'm shocked 😳 also.
"A labor of love" indeed it is. Id never stop gaming or collecting my favorites.

I've never saw a more beautiful thing. When I was a kid : I wanted my own arcade of those Coleco mini arcade machines.
Saved my money and got mine on my 13th birthday at Meijers on Carpenter Rd in Ypsilanti Michigan. Pacman. Remember it like was yesterday.
@@lindaguillory7802 weren't they like $100 retail in the 80s? I always wanted one id see them in the sears wishbook!

I'll give you a 100 bucks for the entire collection. I'm really taking a risk here.
Lol the screwed up part is that is probably true
