how did you find the the stand for the CRT tv? I've been struggling find one for myself for a while now so my tv's just been sitting on the floor. Any advice on where i can look for one?
I bought it in the 1990s from an electronics store. Circuit City I think. Your best route is to search Craigslist, because nobody has made them for a long time. Or you can just make one on your own.
At first glance it doesn't seem much different from other people game rooms, but it's all the stuff going on behind the scenes that make this room amazing. The fact that every system is ready to play is unreal. Thanks for the video and well done on such a class room.
I don't think I've ever seen a game room as well-thought out and organized as this before, this is fucking incredible. You even have obscure stuff like the LJN VideoArt. The multiple TVs idea is brilliant separating the HDMI systems from the analog ones. It's truly incredible just how much stuff you crammed in here while still maintaining a clean look. But I can't resist giving a few suggestions: - Label the systems by name or an acronym instead of numbers on the switch boxes. Reduces the amount of memorization needed. (Ex. NES, 2600, TG-16, Saturn, etc.) I saw this when AVGN gave a tour of his game room. - If the LEDs work for you in the long run, try to have a single box for wiring for each side of the room. I don't know much about large LED control boxes, but you could probably think of some clever soldering solution. - Route the cables along the poles of the shelves to help achieve a cleaner look. Or use some kind of sheet the same color as the wall, but I think the first option is the most viable one. You easily earned yourself a new subscriber. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks for the comments. I'll just mention the numbers are listed by each console so there's no memorization. Also, I move systems around, so having numbers makes that easy. If I used acronyms, I would have to do a lot of peeling.
This is literally a video from heaven! Absolute dream setup. I can't even begin to tell you how much I would pay in order to have my brother and one of my friends hang out in this room for one weekend!
I wish i didn't give up collecting, i was off to an ok start with it. This was years ago now, but i did it because i pretty much had to, i needed the money and didn't have the space. I mean, yeah i could start over again, except that now everything is so much more expensive than it was before. So i just accept that i have what i do now. Newer consoles and a nice collection of newer games, with the exception of PC, which is loaded with classic games off steam and GOG and so on
For the LED lights, you could put them in a diffuser so the light isn't so blinding. It might work out better to diffuse them, the place them down towards the consoles and facing the wall on other parts.
I've always enjoyed your game room. I think it's awesome that you have a room dedicated to being able to actually play the games in your collection. Too many people just collect games, but they rarely ever play them. I've subbed your channel for many years now and I always enjoy your videos. I used to use a lot of switch boxes back in the day with my old Projection 51 Inch Big Screen TV. Those colored LED lights are a nice touch for the room. It can definitely help set the mood for certain games that you're playing. They would be good for horror games etc. I thought you might show your 4th wall with a broken part, or hole in the wall, and say "hey I've broken the 4th wall" lol. I love all of those Video game magazines that you have. Having the games separate from the playing area is a good idea. It allows you to have a game room and a library for you collection. Keep up the great work my friend.
Reminds me a lot of my setup although you're at 6x the scale of my setup. I'm juggling about 12 consoles, controllers, games and their A/V and power connections to a single tv. It's daunting but once it's setup and you have your source switching solution it's just 👌 My young kids understand my system numbering method so now they go in and play older games too. It makes me so happy and is the reason I've been keeping my consoles for the past 20 years. They also understand my consoles are 10 - 40 years old and treat them with great respect. I couldn't be happier watching a little kid today get so much joy out of playing Sonic Adventure on a Dreamcast or The Legend of Zelda on an actual NES. Kudos to you and your collection and practical management system! Love what you've done here.
Awesome you made this video because great to see those unique systems. Thanks ! 👌 4:40 totally understand you play now a lot on the Dreamcast.. amazing system it is.
Very impressive room. I tried something similar some time ago (with only like 15 systems lol) and had the same kind of signal loss you describe with the RF systems. Some of those consoles featured here are worth a lot of $$$, definitely a very beefy collection, and incredible set up
I've been a fan for a while, but I have to say, this is the best Gaming Setup I've seen It's all about being able to play at all times I started my project to get my systems ready during the pandemic😀 I have a lot less consoles, so it was a lot easier for me 👍

I think I’m my new house I’ll have a false wall behind some built in the wall shelves and then have a door behind the shelves and that’s where I’ll hide all the wires
@@HenryEAvery ha ha ha well unfortunately you can’t run all the old consoles on hdmi so you can’t do that but they do have these hdmi switches now that has like 4 inputs and one output with a little remote kinda like the white led remotes he had, and you plug up four consoles to it and change to 1-4 inputs and it only takes up one hdmi input on your tv. They need analogue ones like that so you can swap them with a remote and have like 100 inputs on them. I’m sure they make something like that surely to god cause we ain’t the only ones that have every console known to man
This the best solution I have seen, and a major achievement. So many retro gamers have things packed away or not connected. I personally have not achieved more than 4-5 consoles at the same time😥
really appreciate the editing/correcting. goes to show that you carefully review your videos before uploading unlike some channels that just rush their videos out just for easy views.
You sir have one amazing collection , i have come across your channel a few times before. The amount of wires of all those systems would drive me nuts. But i see you have your ways of setting them up. If your happy with your setup nothing else matters.Its what makes ya happy.
This was great. My son also started collecting systems a couple years ago and we had multiple switchers set up for the retro systems. He too spent a lot of time on Dream Cast and Genesis, this month he is more focused on the Atari 400. He plays more on the old systems than he does on the current gen. Sadly, some of the older systems cost more. I do enjoy helping him work on them when something goes wrong.
Thanks. This is my second channel and was only created a couple of months ago. The retro crowd isn't very big, so it's not easy to get large numbers to visit. A tour video sometimes will do the trick though!
I got all of my nintendo US/Japan and Xbox systems in the closet and I’m trying to do something like this. This setup is awesome and it gave me ideas for my setup.
To have all these system hooked up to your screens in the manner you have is simply amazing. It's one of the best ways to actually have everything usable without having to plug or unplug a singe single console/system. Wow!
Wow! You clearly spent a lot of time figuring out how to best organize all of this, because it definitely shows! Also, I agree about the lights - they're a bit overwhelming with how many there are (when the main room lights are off). Might be fun if you were having a party though haha
Everything is so clean and thought about trough and trough. I am plaining on setting up a little game room (I dont have that many consoles tough 😆) and you give some good ideas. I like the your "ready to play" setup and the fact that it is also a little museum. It changes from all those other streamers game room which are all flashy and all.... but don't have any soul ! Keep up the good work !
Take this to a whole new level with IR controlled input switch boxes, an Echo Dot and a Harmony Hub and you could control all of this by voice command.
The key to the LEDs is to have them diffused by some sort of frosty translucent material or to just have the diodes facing away from you like towards the wall. In this case id say it'd be worth it just just have the strips on the bottom of each shelf if you can to illuminate what you have. That way they can be cool accent lights and not blinding :)
This is really good organized! Thanks for showing your precious setup! This gives me inspiration for my systems. I love the idea to have every system ready to play. Fortunately I only have 17 systems so I don’t have to figure out anything complicated like yours.
This video blows my mind and I’m so jealous, maybe most of all of that ninja gaiden ending painting you have hanging above. One of the first games I ever beat as a kid and that game will always hold a special place for me. Sick setup man absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the comment. That scene on the Ninja Garden poster is actually from an early part of the game. I also beat the game back then, but it took me a LOT of trying.
You should do a video where you turn every single one of them on at the same time but you have the AV cables connected to your head, then your eyes start glowing white and the video shoots out of your mouth like a projector
Very impressive. Figuring out all the plugs must’ve been a battle. Love it. However the wired shelves the consoles are on makes me feel like I’m gaming in a kitchen behind a concession stand.
I do see those shelves in restaurants all the time, and I always point them out to my wife and say "hey, they are using gaming shelves for storing cans."
Very neat! You have gave me plenty of ideas to make my dream room a possibility :) it’s nice seeing that you can have everything hooked up at the same time, for I have wondered about that for years and years. Thanks for taking the time to put this Video together! Much appreciated.
I love these vids. I'm likely to get a new place here soon and have been looking at setup vids this past month. Your setup is definitely the one from which I'm going to take the most ideas. Great work!
A set of curtains or felt hung like curtains (with two pieces of cloth and a spot to pass cords through) with velcro on the back of the shelves could hide the cords and also still provide easy access! So cool to see all the love and hard work you've put into this setup.
Great collection 👌 I used to be a massive collector like this, but after moving home multiple times and having to haul my collection from address to address, I mostly coverted to digital copies of most games now. There are some great emulators out there aswell.
You’ve come a long way over the last few years. Your editing is tighter and you seem more comfortable in front of the camera. Always love new room tours.
This reminds me of my set apart from I've only got 12 consoles linked to my 2 TVs all ready to go and have been playing on several different consoles I always try run them all frequently I have been playing doom ps1 Duke nukem forever on ps3 watch dog legion on xbox one starfox on gamecube paper Mario on wiil and halo 2 on og xbox you have defo got OCD like me lol it puts my brain at ease lookin at your set up lol
Utter dreamland. I feel cold, biting shame for getting rid of my systems decades ago. I miss my Saturn, N64 and Panasonic 3DO most. For shame... Great museum and game room.
I was finding it hard to figure out what kind of shelving I could use for my room. But as soon as I was this I found what I was looking for. Looks great and I cant wait to build my setup next weekend
Great setup, nice and tidy with lots of space to breathe! I did the same but with WAY less consoles, because my gaming area is just a corner in the attic, and I only bought consoles I want to play. I crammed 13 consoles (M$, Nintendo, SEGA and SONY from 16-bit up to PS3/X360/WiiU) into a white 4x2 Kallax shelf unit, split every square space into 2 rectangular shelves which adds up to 16 shelves, turned 2 into drawers where all cables converge, the first has 5 frontal power buttons (main power button + 1 button for each of the 4 row/brand of consoles) plus frontal HDMi/LAN/USB/Power plug for convenience, and the other has auto HDMi switches inside and 2 frontal Bandridge SCART switches. Since all consoles are under the TV and close apart, there's no need for controller/power/video extensions, and every cable is nicely hidden along the back of the shelves. A huge CRT sits on top of the 4x2 Kallax, and the HDMi TV goes on top of a 2x2 Kallax shelf unit right next to the other. On this one, the top 2 squares are also split into 4 rectangular shelves for handhelds, a C64 and a Spectrum 48k (not connected, I use the frontal plugs in the drawers since these are hands on), and the bottom 2 squares have 2 white Lekman boxes for controllers storage. It's the best I could do to make a clean setup in the smallest space possible, I love how it turned out, but it took lots of years to decide what goes where and how to organize it all.
An awesome setup! Can tell an insane amount of work has went into this! One tip I would have is replace the LED strips with more modern Bluetooth ones. Won't have the remotes and you could adjust the brightness, would also recommend getting bulbs to match as dimming the lights when gaming or on special occasions is quite nice!
Very cool, especially the LED light display! I like the mini console setup as well! I'd be curious to see how the new HDMI switcher looks compared to what you have here now. I'll have to look through your channel to see if there is an updated tour video. 😃👍👍
Man, I hope you got good insurance and protection on all that. As well as having a reliable inspector, hvac people, etc to help ensure your house doesn’t catch fire. You can’t beat a collection like that
Very cool!!! I can’t wait to get mine started once my house is built. Im not going all out since im not a big fan of the super retro systems or odd ball ones, but Im going the movie/game route. I do plan to use my 30” HD CRT for my older 90s consoles and my 65” LG for my newer ones. I got started last year at previous home but we sold it.
I have my retro video game console collection configured, setup, and ready to play on my modern TV using the OSSC. No CRT space and I don't want to deal with the size and potential maintenance required. I am lazy! The thing is, I bought and configured a Mister FPGA. While I still own a ton of physical copies of games, I find that when I want to play, I go to the Mister. For anyone looking to play retro video games and not addicted to nostalgia, the Mister is likely the least expensive way to go if you are looking for CYCLE ACCURACY (slowdown where you expect slowdown, etc). Depending on your configuration, you can output hardware accurate refresh rates via analog for CRT gaming if you want it, or you can do HDMI output without the need of a scaler. Obviously, a Retro Pi is less expensive but also not as accurate as Mister. Really comes down to what itch a person is trying to scratch. If all a person wants is to play and don't care about hardware accuracy, the Retro Pi is great. Of course, if someone wants to play on real hardware on an old CRT or connected to their modern TV or whatever route they want to go, I applaud them in whatever way they want to play. I just find I would have been better off and had more money left over if I just went with a Mister out of the gate...

unnecessary!? NO!
This is the most necessary thing I've ever seen
I have over 120+ systems from Pong to Switch and seeing this setup is a neat idea.
stop hoarding, mental illness
The best gaming room on RUclips, very concise and straight to the point, no useless overkills.

- Label the systems by name or an acronym instead of numbers on the switch boxes. Reduces the amount of memorization needed. (Ex. NES, 2600, TG-16, Saturn, etc.) I saw this when AVGN gave a tour of his game room.
- If the LEDs work for you in the long run, try to have a single box for wiring for each side of the room. I don't know much about large LED control boxes, but you could probably think of some clever soldering solution.

The most impressive thing is that you are the only man with an Apple Pippin hooked up at all times.
LOL. I may have a game to play on it someday.
This man has a wall dedicated to the Vectrex and Virtual Boy... As far as I'm concerned, that alone is enough to call this the ultimate game room
This has to be the best setup I've seen. I really like the power bars with a switch for each system. Very nice.
Edit: Love Buddy the cat.
Very cool setup. Can't imagine how much work that was to design and build. Thanks for sharing.
I've seen all your room tours and this new one doesn't disappoint....great job mate and thanks for sharing.
A couple arcade machines might fit nicely in that closet. Even a pedestal with LaunchBox installed and a 50" screen could work.
Send it all over and I'll make it happen!
That's actually a good idea
I want to compliment you on this feat of imagination. Wow. Just amazing, I think that since you've done this, mankind is comforted.
I've been a fan for a while, but I have to say, this is the best Gaming Setup I've seen

I love these vids. I'm likely to get a new place here soon and have been looking at setup vids this past month. Your setup is definitely the one from which I'm going to take the most ideas. Great work!
I can’t get over how clean everything looks.
Those posters are perfect
98% of this setup could be replicated with a mid tier PC, and retroarch, but I love it regardless.
Surprised I got here - the algo is working. Subbed friend. Respect from Eastern Canada
That Mario music in the background brought me back to my childhood 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Truly phenomenal. Organized, neat & tidy. Intelligently implemented. Bravo dude, bravo. 🤘
Love & peace from Liverpool, England. 🙏
I never had a dreamcast as a kid. I bought one 6months ago and its now my fav console :)
Very cool gaming room. Congrats.
Man, this makes me so happy. I would be so proud to have a set up like this lol 😆
A set of curtains or felt hung like curtains (with two pieces of cloth and a spot to pass cords through) with velcro on the back of the shelves could hide the cords and also still provide easy access! So cool to see all the love and hard work you've put into this setup.
Badass setup man. Living the dream.
Great collection 👌
I used to be a massive collector like this, but after moving home multiple times and having to haul my collection from address to address, I mostly coverted to digital copies of most games now. There are some great emulators out there aswell.
The most impressive part of this video is the cable management. Wow!
this is the dream right here, respect
*Dude....this is Heaven*
You’ve come a long way over the last few years. Your editing is tighter and you seem more comfortable in front of the camera. Always love new room tours.
Thanks. I've had a lot of practice recently with the surge in videos.
nice setup, like how you have everything hooked up to certain tv’s and ready to play
Love the dedication! Thank you for sharing!
This reminds me of my set apart from I've only got 12 consoles linked to my 2 TVs all ready to go and have been playing on several different consoles I always try run them all frequently I have been playing doom ps1 Duke nukem forever on ps3 watch dog legion on xbox one starfox on gamecube paper Mario on wiil and halo 2 on og xbox you have defo got OCD like me lol it puts my brain at ease lookin at your set up lol
So organized. Nothing like the apartment that a Japanese collector called Fujita lives in.
Someone else mentioned Fujita. I will check them out.
This is really cool, nice job and inspiring a few ideas on organization
I think this is just really cool and awesome work! Thanks for sharing!
Greeting from Germany
Shoutout to Buddy, too :d
Utter dreamland. I feel cold, biting shame for getting rid of my systems decades ago. I miss my Saturn, N64 and Panasonic 3DO most. For shame... Great museum and game room.
I was finding it hard to figure out what kind of shelving I could use for my room. But as soon as I was this I found what I was looking for. Looks great and I cant wait to build my setup next weekend
This is how I want my man cave/retro room to look like one day.
Glad buddy is well loved.
Great setup, nice and tidy with lots of space to breathe!
I did the same but with WAY less consoles, because my gaming area is just a corner in the attic, and I only bought consoles I want to play. I crammed 13 consoles (M$, Nintendo, SEGA and SONY from 16-bit up to PS3/X360/WiiU) into a white 4x2 Kallax shelf unit, split every square space into 2 rectangular shelves which adds up to 16 shelves, turned 2 into drawers where all cables converge, the first has 5 frontal power buttons (main power button + 1 button for each of the 4 row/brand of consoles) plus frontal HDMi/LAN/USB/Power plug for convenience, and the other has auto HDMi switches inside and 2 frontal Bandridge SCART switches. Since all consoles are under the TV and close apart, there's no need for controller/power/video extensions, and every cable is nicely hidden along the back of the shelves. A huge CRT sits on top of the 4x2 Kallax, and the HDMi TV goes on top of a 2x2 Kallax shelf unit right next to the other. On this one, the top 2 squares are also split into 4 rectangular shelves for handhelds, a C64 and a Spectrum 48k (not connected, I use the frontal plugs in the drawers since these are hands on), and the bottom 2 squares have 2 white Lekman boxes for controllers storage. It's the best I could do to make a clean setup in the smallest space possible, I love how it turned out, but it took lots of years to decide what goes where and how to organize it all.
What a smart dude! Thanks for entertaining me with this haha!
An awesome setup! Can tell an insane amount of work has went into this! One tip I would have is replace the LED strips with more modern Bluetooth ones. Won't have the remotes and you could adjust the brightness, would also recommend getting bulbs to match as dimming the lights when gaming or on special occasions is quite nice!
I have that same JVC 32 inch. Awesome picture quality and yes, very heavy.
very unique room. i had the intellivision too, decades ago. it was fun
Very cool, especially the LED light display! I like the mini console setup as well! I'd be curious to see how the new HDMI switcher looks compared to what you have here now. I'll have to look through your channel to see if there is an updated tour video.
😃👍👍
Nice cat video! Ooh also nice retro consoles on the background 😁
That white Xbox 360 is amazing!! Always wanted to build an all white custom PC...
You have inspired me so much, I am a beginner on console collection and can’t wait to get to this level
Man, I hope you got good insurance and protection on all that. As well as having a reliable inspector, hvac people, etc to help ensure your house doesn’t catch fire. You can’t beat a collection like that
Very cool!!! I can’t wait to get mine started once my house is built. Im not going all out since im not a big fan of the super retro systems or odd ball ones, but Im going the movie/game route. I do plan to use my 30” HD CRT for my older 90s consoles and my 65” LG for my newer ones. I got started last year at previous home but we sold it.
I have my retro video game console collection configured, setup, and ready to play on my modern TV using the OSSC. No CRT space and I don't want to deal with the size and potential maintenance required. I am lazy!
The thing is, I bought and configured a Mister FPGA. While I still own a ton of physical copies of games, I find that when I want to play, I go to the Mister.
For anyone looking to play retro video games and not addicted to nostalgia, the Mister is likely the least expensive way to go if you are looking for CYCLE ACCURACY (slowdown where you expect slowdown, etc). Depending on your configuration, you can output hardware accurate refresh rates via analog for CRT gaming if you want it, or you can do HDMI output without the need of a scaler.
Obviously, a Retro Pi is less expensive but also not as accurate as Mister. Really comes down to what itch a person is trying to scratch. If all a person wants is to play and don't care about hardware accuracy, the Retro Pi is great.
Of course, if someone wants to play on real hardware on an old CRT or connected to their modern TV or whatever route they want to go, I applaud them in whatever way they want to play.
I just find I would have been better off and had more money left over if I just went with a Mister out of the gate...
You've got a great setup.
Awesome game room. I salute you sir. Well done 👍🏻
I love the cleanliness of the whole setup. That must have taken forever to plan and set up.
This is The Best Video Game Console Show Room of 2022 🏅🏆 Thank you for the tour and demo 💐
