I have an excellent idea for a boxed game to take a photo of, there's literally loads of disks and manuals in the really cool box and it's cover, ooh exciting haha

That is an amazing collection and its so nice seeing Davids very clear enthusiasm for the subject. Thanks for taking us round and thanks David for letting us all look round!

Outstanding collection, and a wonderful collector. Thank you Neil and Andrew for this trip down memory (and fantasy!) lane!

I really like his passion and dedication to consoles. Love to see videos like this one a lot. Thanks!

Wow now THIS is literally a gaming console heaven! Props to this man for keeping all of them in pristine condition. Brilliant video guys 👍🏻👍🏻

As soon as I saw the Casio Loopy, I knew David was a man of good taste! Thank you for sharing your collection with the world.

Amazing collection. So happy people collect and share these consoles on the channel

Great video and thanks to David! I really hope to see more of these in the future. Would be nice if possible to ask the collector to share some peculiar facts about the history of the collection (fun episodes, rarest finds, best deals…).

Amazing collection. When David gets the PC Engine Rom Rom, he needs to display it with a packet of skips.

I love the music at the start. I actually like the nice relaxed music during it. But the road trip music!

Just a beautiful collection, you should be very proud. Thank you for sharing it with us.

What a nostalgic trip down memory lane. So awesome to see your entire collection David! Ive only heard about it until now but seeing it in live action is truly something. Absolutely beautiful presentation of them in those glass cabinets as well.

Sega SG-1000, interesting - I never knew that Sega made a console before the Master System! @7:10 I'm not sure if I like that translucent Sega case, it looks kind of - oh, actually it's cool, it says so on the top. A masterstroke by the designer :)

Lovely console collection, a good variation of the main brands, and well presented in those glass cases. Thanks for sharing that with us.

It was 1997 and i had a super nintendo and a Game Gear with tuner i borrowed from my neighbour. Took a wire with chinch socket, put one side in the SNES and the other side of the wire i exposed the middle and wrapped it arround the Sega's TV tunner, and voila we tuned in the channel and played Mario Kart on that tiny screen of the game gear. This would probably still work today. Keep these videos coming!

made my day Neil, im a console collector, so this episode was fantastic, thankyou.

Great video. Would love to see more like this. The variations of how people present their collections and what inspires/drives them is fascinating. Really enjoyed sitting back and taking all that in.

Always enjoy the intro to these. Good music

Wonderful! I own more consoles in my collection than you do but you probably have the most beautiful collection! This was such a great presentation. Those consoles look perfect with the lights. Appreciate your hard work and passion! It is great to see someone with the same hobby and working hard for it. Greetings from Germany

The white handheld near to the Nokia n-gage is the GP32. It has an awesome clicky joystick. I think it was only released in South Korea and Spain.

That's a lovely and beautifully displayed collection. And I love the odd new thing tucked away in there like the evercade. Awesome :)

He missed the Gamepark 32.🙂 Im long enough in Videogame Collecting that identify every Console he has. I Remember the Time you could import a Mega Jet (Even JAL branded) for under 50 bucks from Japan or buy a 32X for the same in the Box. This i 20+ Years ago. Miss those Times😪

Such a nice collection. And great calm and pro way of show and tell.. Love it!

Really love his NEC cabinet!

Someone needs to get this man an Apple Pippin. He deserves one for his collection of consoles.

I spotted a Zipstik! My all time favourite joystick, what people would now call a controller which is rather less joyful haha. What a wonderful collection, its amazing how much people care for things,its brilliant and a great rmc vlog 👍

Thanks for the tour guys!

Awesome collection, would looooove to see everything displayed with the boxes though! I worked in the games industry in the 90s and had loads of these so it's brought back memories and made me want to set up like 100 new eBay searches! 😂😂

stunning collection! thanks for sharing

An absolutely incredible collection - needs more Colecovision though. 😊

What a bonkers collection. I had no idea most of these consoles existed. I recognized about half of them. I would love to have half of the Nintendo consoles he has. And he has all the boxes and manuals and everything. If I had tbe money to be a collector, this is what my collection would look like. No mods, all like new and complete in box. Man, what an awesome collection. But I would have a lot of them set up ready to be turned on and played instead of in a glass case.

Master system 2 was my first console after only having a Commodore 64 and the MS2 was quite popular in Australia and I still have huge love for it till this day and still have my original console.

Brilliant, i'm so envious of this collection, looks like a dream.

Awesome collection! Really nice displays too.

He should spend some time and restore half of these, not so much replace components but restore as in remove the yellowing from a lot of them. Would really make it looks like a very clean setup. Super wild collection though, holy!

Awesome to see private collections like this.

That Pokemon N64 was available here in the US as a Toys 'R' Us exclusive if I remember right for where it was available here.

Corr, what a lovely collection!

The rock music at the start was just a little too exciting for me. Steady on Neil 😂

Wow. Massive respect to David. 😎

Epic Collection 😮😉👏

Crikey, I think I’ve wandered into an alternate timeline - I didn’t recognise about 25% of these! Amazing collection!

The GameGear TV tuner can work with any RF outputting console or VHS player. It took a lot of sticking my finger out at the correct angle but I eventually dialled it in to the point where I could watch a tape playing downstairs on my GameGear in my bedroom. Picture quality was rubbish, sound was foul but it beat smartphones to the media consumption game by at least a decade and a half.

I loved this episode.

Fantastic collection and very nicely displayed :)

Impressive collection. I'm jealous!

What a collection!

My humble collection is hosted in fruit crates I made from left-over decking; which was inspired by the fruit crates at the back of the cave 😀 There were even small shelves at the back for PSUs and other peripherals of each crate... given the wood used though, am glad the floor can support the weight 🙂

Maybe one of the Plutos could make a flying visit to West Sussex at some point. There'd be a video about it for sure!

If anyone's wondering why the NES with the Super Mario Bros cart looks a bit odd, that's because I'm pretty sure it's made of Lego!

This chap has some great retro hardware.

Surprised that Gizmondo hasn't disintegrated! 🙈 Wicked collection!

I was thinking at first, what's up with that older guy collecting all those systems. Then I realized I am that old too. LMAO!

Mind-blowing collection, it's one of those collections that needs to live on when this gentleman turns 100 and won't take care of it anymore.. it's history!

One glaring console emission here…the Intellivision! 🤯

Legend.

I was born in West Sussex, and I'm considered retro these days!

Regarding the Atari 2600: I know there were a couple re-branded versions of the console. Here in the U.S., Sears put their own brand called Tele-Games on the machine. I had the Coleco Gemini which was an Atari 2600 in a tighter, more compact gray case. It came packed with a port of Donkey Kong.

Shame he didn't mention his GamePark GP32, lovely collection though!

Great collection. Where are the cabinets from and was lighting retrofitted as it works really well with a lot of consoles in each

@davidandrews298

8 ай бұрын

Thanks. The cabinets were from a company called DisplaySense. The one I bought no longer appear to be available, but there are new ones that are listed under their Retail Display section. I added the lighting myself. A 5M LED strip for each cabinet worked great to go all the way around and back to the top to exit for the power.

Great collection, thanks for sharing it with us! Does he have a CD32 or the abomination that was the C64GS? :)

@davidandrews298

Thanks. CD32 is on my list of consoles I would like to add. Just a case of waiting for a nice clean boxed one at an affordable price 🙂 Somehow, I think the C64GS completely passed me by!

He needs the Sony Net Yaroze to complete the PlayStation one collection! 😛

@davidandrews298

Funnily enough, I was looking at those the other day 🙂

I didn't realise that Neo Geo games were THAT expensive, wow. I suppose the logic was that you were paying for arcade quality to play at home. I had forgotten what the original Xbox looked like, I think it is the best looking one (my brother had the 360 and I think he now has the Xbox One). I agree that the Japanese Sega box art is superior to our British/European ones, I never had a Sega console but the strangely spartan and uniform backdrop that dominates every case made them seem almost indistinguishable from one another at a glance, and quite the antithesis of the colourful and exciting games found within the box. I suppose that they chose that design as a way of making the Sega section on the shelves stand out, and perhaps to give the whole range of games a common identity. But if that was the intention, one would think they'd go for something more engaging and colourful than that bland grid of thin lines over a white background.

There is a bit of difference between the PC engine and the Core Grafx consoles apart from the AV and stereo out on the Core Grafx consoles. The Core Grafx 1 has a slightly altered CPU which fixes some sound issues apparently. The Core Grafx 2 actually reverts back the CPU in the original but has better shielding and build quality.

So what?! It's cool you did that!

27:46 I did, sold it all recent to pay bills. The psone, a 3rd party screen and gamestation draw.

What do you do with a collection like this where caps have a potential to quietly detonate? Like the Mega CD model 1

It's surprising how uncommon the PC-FX was, even in Canada. They were all over the early morning ads, for a bit. No real takers. Don't remember a single friend owning one. I do regret not being able to pick one up, at our local small town Radio Shack. By 1991/92, they were available for about $50. Missed the last one they had by about 10 minutes. Real spoiler.. I don't think our Radio Shack had any games stocked.

Super nice collection, but I was surprised there was no Atari 5200 and no Net Yaroze.

Great video! But why skip over the GP32?

Casio Loopy - Collection complete.

Advantageous pricing is spoiling collecting. Sure make a bit of profit. But make just take the ☔. Cassette's have become collectibles now going for silly money. I've seen the jump in Walkman prices in the last 4 months alone!! PS cool collection by this dude.

It was NOT exactly the “european” version of the Pc Engine, since we had it in France, distributed by Sodipeng (Guillemot bros - now Ubi soft). It even had a scart (peritel), and the games had a sloppy photocopy translation of the japanese manual. No idea how much these would cost now though…

@@4879daniel Plenty of them around complete. I'd assume it's more the price. I grabbed my TG16 somewhere around 2017 for $50 USD (everything except box and manuals), now similar sales are ~$350 USD. So bizarre how cov1d screwed up the pricing even on these systems. TG16's were overproduced like crazy, wouldn't sell back in the day, discount units sat on shelves into the early 2000s. My local radio shack had it's units sit in the window so long they were completely sun bleached.

Nothing from Coleco? Colecovision was my fist real console after Pong. We later had the Atari module.

There is a Collecovision in the collection. Unfortunately, that is part of the footage that got left on the cutting room floor to keep the video at an acceptable length.

He bought my Dreamcast pretty sure

For a collection this large, I always expect to see a big puddle of capacitor electrolyte underneath each one.

One console he is missing is the Commodore CD32.
