holy bejesus.

Either he stole every last one of those games or his parents are bajillionaires.

Probably a video game store owner who just siphoned off copies. Huge collection. Doubt he actually games on that tv. Going off the angle of the pictures, there is probably a big screen tv near where the photographer was standing when he took the picture of the desk. Look at where the chair is pointing too.

Kid: "I see dead video game characters..."

That's umm... A bit much... But the TV makes me think they aren't recent pictures.

Lol @ TGM. /comfort.

Re: Insane videogame collection (with pics)

Welp so much for feeling remotely hardcore about video games. This guy just did more than put me to shame :/

And I agree with TheGrandMom about the TV. If the guy owns this many video games, you know damn well he has an appropreate TV to go along with them lol.

Uhm, maybe they own a video game shop and those are pics from the "warehouse?".

Re: Insane videogame collection (with pics)

The old set is probably part of his Commodore setup. I have a few old sets/monitors for my older stuff, it gives it a more authentic feel and isn't such a pain in the booty to hook up. I keep telling hubby that I want to put an addition on to the house. I've always wanted a room where I could put out all the cool stuff but it would have to be pretty god awful big. Between games, systems, swag, and collectibles I could dedicate my entire upstairs and still not have enough room. But, alas, it will never happen. Hubby is retiring at the end of April and he has other plans for any extra money we have. God, that guy's room makes me so jealous!!

LOL Hubby just came in and said goodnight and I let him take a gander at the pics. He just looked at me and said "OH HELL NO!!" and went to bed. Dang!

Lol that is insane what they have, if you want an extension grandmom, I can design one for you

Re: Insane videogame collection (with pics)

Just look at the ceiling and light fixtures, looks to me like a pre-owned video game shop. I don't think anyone would seriously keep that many video games unless they were running a small business as such.

Aww thanks for the offer but if I get an extension, I think I'll also be getting a divorce!

Trust me, there are people out there like that. I've been gaming for over 30 years and I can count on one hand how many games/systems I've given away or sold. I have kept everything. In fact, we had to move to a bigger house 6 years ago to accomodate my expanding obsession. LOL Guess what? This house is full.....now you know why I want to put on an expansion. LOL

Re: Insane videogame collection (with pics)

Wow, thats totally crazy. I think it is some one basement, they just remodeled the ceiling to hanging tile and it looks like there is more space behind the shelves too. Also, i bet most of those games are still in their orignal shrink wrap. They look too shiny even from a flash of a digi cam or direct source lighting to have even been opened.

I used to keep all my SNES boxes of everything that i bought but when you only own one room of a house, you tend to want as much space as you can get T_T. I still keep my system boxes of the systems i still have. Kudos to the guy who has the collection ^_~

Re: Insane videogame collection (with pics)

I dunno, the floor is also old school, department store style tiling. I still stand by my theory that it's a pre-owned game shop, but I am not denying that I could be completely wrong. As for games that I save, I only save the ones that I play often. If I check my memory card info and I haven't played a game in a year I figure that it's probably better to sell it and buy a newer game with the money. Nothing wrong with collecting games though, who knows how much they'll be worth in a few years.

Re: Insane videogame collection (with pics)

Well I collect them to play them and to hopefully play them with all of my grandchildren. I want to start them on some Pong, move up to some Atari, then maybe on to the NES, etc etc etc and then finally to whatever new gen system is out. Give them an appreciation for what has been created through the years.

That's a pretty sweet idea. Behold grandparents of the future.

My gram will play Tetris and Kirby's Avalanche with me (and she'll win!!), she is also a huge fan of the LoLo and Adventure Island series. She bought Final Fantasy VIII and tried that out but she just couldn't get the hang of it, well she is 88 after all. I hope that when I'm that old I'll still be gaming.

Where there's a will, there's a way!! I hope you will be gaming for a long long time. One thing gaming did for me and my family was brought us closer together, opened lines of communication, and given us lots and LOTS of laughs! i.e My husband was "dual wielding" his +1 forks with his salad tonight in the restuarant!

On the 5th pic down you can see an xbox 360 controller

Probably is a warehouse of sorts, there are quite a few posters and promotional banners and such...
