As a fellow Dentist who also has been collecting for the last 25 years, I'm happy to see such passion in what you love. I don't know what it is about Dentists and collecting video games, I know so many us collect video games for some reason. I recently downsized my collction due to haveing to move alot (3k+ items, complete licensed and unlicensed NES sets). I still have some trade left from my downsizing, if you are interested. Keep up the amazing work!

I would love to have a dedicated section for PC and even earlier gaming. I have many classic computer systems going all the way back to my original TI99/4A that I got in 4th grade. Most of my big box games are my personal ones from back in the day and they need more glory :)

Games I always played were Spy Hunter, Dragon's Lair, Tron, Star Wars and Afterburner the one where you sit in and the chair moved. I had Dragon's Lair on laserdisc and could play it on my T.V. and use the disc player remote. Love your collection!

Love those games as well. I had an upright Afterburner for a while but sold it a few years ago to make room. If I ever find a full sitdown I'm going to grab it. I keep an eye out for the others you listed as well but they go for a premium. Cool way to play Dragon's Lair!

Your channel is my new favorite channel. Seeing the collection brings me back to my days as a kid playing video games. I love your Atari 2600 display and by far it was the system I loved the most in my childhood. I am inspired that display and have been thinking about a project to display different game systems, and seeing your collection and display has really got my imagination clicking. Have you ever encountered the Atari Lynx portable. I delivered so many papers to save up for a portable game and that was my choice. Mainly because they had APB as a game, and quickly fell in love with Klax. Such a great video, thank you.

The VirtualBoy kiosk is super cool. I remember playing that in Sears every time I was able to go.

I think it's safe to say you have one of the largest, pristine, highly curated collections in the entire world...if not THE largest. I've truly never seen anything like it. I've watched all your restoration videos and thought your collection was the greatest ever, and at that point I had only seen what was in your basement! I know this is a personal collection, but as someone who grew up with a NES, gaming was always a big part of my life. It's just nice to know that there are people out there like you preserving gaming history to this level. So many thrown away boxes from the 80's!
