I see a C64 there too. Good show. [:)]

I must admit I can?t identify all of those consoles. Sega Saturn? NeoGeo? Sega MegaCD? Anyone recognise them all?
From top to bottom, left to right...
1: NES, C64, Atari 7800 (could be a 2600, but doubtful)
2: ??? (PROBABLY a Coleco Adam...), Sega Master System, ??? (Intellivision I think)
3: Atari 400 / 800 (or a MSX??), Atari Jaguar, Mega Drive 2 + Mega CD 2
4: SNES, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Neo Geo
5: Xbox, Game Cube, ??? (Coleco?), ??? (Phillips CD-I?)
Damn, I should know this more...stupid home monitor...I'll try again tomorrow when I can see it better :)
The bottom right I think is the Neo Geo with the arcade cartridge format but I'm not sure, haven't seen one in years. Left of that I'm fairly certain is a Colecovision. The C64 is an old model, possibly even a VIC 20. The Atari at top right is definitely a 7800, the 2600 had a wood finish. Otherwise I'm in agreement with Gazunta. I'm gonna be like this in my old age - I can't bear to part with any of my consoles or games, even my poor Saturn with the busted controller.
Did anyone catch the Virtualboy in the Playstation cabinet? :D
I get the feeling this guy is more of a collector than a gamer, do you think he has actually played even close to half those games, let alone finished or enjoyed them? What scares me is the way he has SPECTRALLY ORGANISED his games into a rainbow fashion, he seems more enamoured with how they look on the shelf than as to how they play.
Why would anyone want a Jaguar or Virtual Boy?
It doesn't take a collector to organise games in such a fashion, just someone with obviously too much time on their hands who are also slightly pedantic and possibly obsessive compulsive.
And why can't have they finished all the games, play one per weekend, you'd finish around 52 per year. Add in that holiday time and weekday time if you're some sort of student and you'd probably be able to polish off a good 100 games a year easily. Hand helds you could also play while on the bus, being driven in a car and numerous other places.
Hey Daemin, I think collectors by their very nature are pedantic and obsessive compulsive people. Collectors tend to organise and display their collections in all sorts of festidious arrays, it's part and parcel of their hobby.
Sure it's possible he's played them, but do you really think he would do that? I'm not saying he doesn't enjoy playing games, but was pointing out that he probably enjoys collecting them more than he does playing them. I guess I see it that simply owning buckets and buckets of games is no indication to me of how much you enjoy playing them.
It?s quite reasonable to assume that he?s more of a collector then a player. I know several people with massive games collection, and many of their games they have only played briefly once or twice. It?s quite easy to build a big collection when your working ? years ago I had a flat mate that used to buy 2 or 3 Playstation games a week, just buying them impulsively on his way home from work. Sure was good living with someone like that!
So I assume this guy just loves collecting games, but probably rairly finishes a game.

He has [url="http://www.nescapades.com/stats.htm"]5,303 games[/url] [:0]
Also, you can see the list of consoles he has in his [url="http://www.nescapades.com/collections.htm"]collection here[/url].
Sometimes I think I'm more of a collector than a player. I at least 5 top Nintendo titles sitting there and I haven't even looked at them. I know if I begin, then I have to follow through and finish them and that will lead to me neglecting my girlfriend and thus my own needs.
As such, I find myself buying more and more multiplayer games, which is fine until I get beaten by someone who, until they met me, had never even held a controller in her life.
Makes me wonder what all those years of practice were for.
ok, that's awsome!
although you'd think if "Gibby" can afford all that then he could afford a bigger TV!
and wait a sec... are all those systems plugged into the one TV??? i used to get worried about running my nes and snes through the a single tv at the same time! cripes!
