This is not just an expensive collection, it's one of the cleanest and coziest game rooms I've ever seen.
Great work
Thanks!
The rug really ties the room together
Haha! Perfect :)
I like how you showed your beginning stages because most people see where you’re at and think it’s un achievable but you showed your progression. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Absolutely epic collection. I’ve been a gamer my whole 42 years of life but I’ve only been collecting since 2017. You showed everyone with passion anything is possible
It’s really just a matter of accumulating things I liked over time-and it really added up. I’m glad so many people collect and enjoy this hobby these days. I see so many cool collections. Thanks!
It's mindblowing that you are a Dentist but have this hobby and extensive knowledge of electronics restoration. Your collection is probably the best I've seen. I mean, even TWO World Championships cartridges?? Just amazing.
Thanks! Lots of years of working on it so it really added up!
im in complete shock and awe this is amazing all the rare kiosks and the presentation and the cozyness its amazing 10/10
Thanks! I truly appreciate that :) Glad you enjoyed it.
This is not just a collection. You have a museum! Absolutely awesome!!!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
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 see all your awesome stuff in the High End group. Fascinating story about your Air Raid carts. I can say the same thing about dentists and hobbyist computer programmers-I once worked on a game project that was mainly done by me and another dentist :)
@@tcurtis49 thanks! I'm all about preserving the history as you are. I wish I could have kept my collection, but I'm happy with m,y small currated collection.
easily the best tour ive ever seen and ive watched maybe a thousand. everything is just so tastefully done
Thanks! That’s very kind!
my god im so envious of ur collection, the history that u have in your collection is truly insane, makes me wish i did better in school and life, you're truly a blessed man
Haha…well I know I have put together a lot of the stuff that made me happy growing up, so I am truly grateful for that :)
Finally, RUclips coming through with an amazing channel suggestion. I am floored by your determination and skills, not to mention your taste in the classics. Cheers!
I have no idea what made RUclips start recommending my channel but I’m glad it’s finding the right audience :) Thanks!
Everything about this is incredible. The attention to detail, the time it took to obtain, restore, display your collection is astounding. Even the filming, editing and footnotes were done well. Good job, Sir.
Thanks-that’s much appreciated :)
Just came across your channel yesterday, guess the algorithm knew what I would like. This is the most insane game collection I have seen on youtube. Simply mindblowing. It makes me wish I would have started seriously collecting 15 years ago, not 5. Your arcade restorations are also super interesting, I hope you keep showing them!
Thanks so much! No idea how the algorithm started featuring my content but I'm glad so many people can enjoy it with me. I am definitely way fortunate to have been in on the early years of collecting when the focus was more on keeping things from being thrown away than anything else :)
The VirtualBoy kiosk is super cool. I remember playing that in Sears every time I was able to go. I keep hoping one will pop up in good condition and for a decent price around me (although I don't see it happening in Italy while we're here!). Also, the boxed Game Gear is awesome. I had every accessory for it back in the day (even the TV cart) and had a blast. I wish my past self had kept all of my games and systems...but that's how it goes.
That kiosk is definitely one of my favorites. I wish I hadn’t gotten rid of some of my stuff as well, but I’ve been fortunate to find a lot of cool things over the years :)
This is simply amazing! Those road trips must be a ton of fun too
Love the road trips. That truck has served me well. My youngest son Graham went with me to pick up Race Drivin. We very nearly ran out of gas in Illinois when we had a huge stretch of interstate with no stations. Basically drifted into one on fumes. That was a long day…but the fun really begins after unloading and trying to get these games up and running again. Thanks for the kind comment!
This is an absolutely beautiful collection of gaming history!!!! Well done, sir. I also love your arcade restoration videos!
Thanks!
Unbelievable. Man, your channel is the bomb. The collection, the stories, your presentation, this is the real deal! This Chanel should get much more views in my opinion. I’m in love. Going to wait for more videos. Keep ‘‘em coming!
Thanks so much! I hope I can keep them fun and entertaining :)
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! (of which I'm guilty of)
If i lived by you i know where i'd be getting my teeth cleaned
Haha, thanks! There are definitely larger and more valuable collections out there but mine really reflects what memories I wanted to hang onto. I definitely have a dual hobby with the console games and the arcade games but it’s all great nostalgia for the 80’s :)
Bro this is probably one of the best collections I've seen! Congrats! Great collection!
Thanks, man. You've got some awesome stuff as well!
3 min sin and I'm in love. I want just a fraction of this. So jealous
The first sentence sounds like something someone would say to a prostitute.
Wow, what an inspiring collection! I'm super impressed, especially with all the restoration work you've had to do. I didn't see a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. That is my earliest memory of video gaming and think would fit perfectly in your collection.
It's not seen in the video but not only do I have a TI-99/4A, I have my own original TI-99/4A that I got new when I was in 4th grade so I could do programming in BASIC. I have some vintage computers here and there as I too have a lot of memories with those systems.
Awesome! That was my 1st little PC when I was 7 yrs old. Lol! Parsec was my jam on that. As I got older, I loved putting in what felt like hours upon hours of code to change the screen color from green to purple. 😂 wish I still had mine.
Nice video! A few things that caught my eye from your collection were Robotron (which would be the first game I'd play), The Police Quest game, Final Fantasy and I believe I spied a commodore 64. But the entire collection is awesome.
Loved those games, although I was more into Dragon Warrior on the NES. Definitely C64s in view-I did a ton of programming on them and we all traded cracked games back in the day. You can show us how to really play Robotron :)
Approaching 40 myself and slowly building my collection. 3:32 Love the duo red system. Thanks for sharing!
I have a whole video dedicated to the restoration of it. It was quite a journey from an open field to the middle of my basement! Good luck with your collection journey!
Would love to spend a full weekend in that arkade room! Amazing collection!
I really need to spend more time in there playing games myself. I’m always too busy moving to the next project. But we certainly love having people play them!
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!
Holy cow! I wish my orthodontist had an awesome arcade when I was 12 and had braces. Your collection rocks!
Me too! The office I went to only had Road and Track magazines…and thanks for the compliment!
Beyond how cool the entire collection is, its great to see them restored and preserved with so much care.
Thanks so much!
What an incredible collection! I was born in 1995 so most of this was before me. However, I respect the history of the entertainment medium I love so much. The N64 and Zelda: OOT is what started it all for me. Love that it's your favorite on the N64, just happens to be my favorite game of all time!
Thanks! Some of it predates me just barely but the cool thing is you have so much to find and explore from all eras of gaming, Glad you enjoyed it!
Incredible collection, layout and display!
One of my favorite parts of Nintendo Quest was seeing your rad game room! Awesome video!
Thanks! Hard to believe that was 10 years ago…seems like they were just here looking through everything :)
One of the best collection videos!
Awesome share!
I would happily pay to visit this museum
I’m hoping to visit the big video game museum in Texas someday. Would definitely dwarf mine :) Thanks!
Wow!…just incredible! Collection of a lifetime! 👌🏻
Thanks! It pretty much encapsulates my lifetime. Glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely love the carpet it really brings the nostalgic aesthetic of the room together
I get more comments on the carpet than anything else :) It was a bold decision at the time but I’m glad we did it. Especially in the arcade section.
When I was a teenager back in the early 80's I used to play the original Mario Brothers arcade game. I was able to get the score up to where the game would freeze because it didn't go any higher all 9's.
That game is on my kids’ wish list. There was a wide-body” version with a shorter than normal cabinet that was more common…I’ve been keeping my eyes out for one :)
Amazing restoration work.
Great nostalgia, watching this video there were so many moments where I was like "I remember that!" Thank you for preserving history. The store kiosk displays are super cool.
Thanks, Tom! We truly grew up in a fantastic era. I remember playing the Atari 2600 at your house--Ms. Pacman and Yars' Revenge come to mind.
This is absolutely insane! It sounds like we are right down the road from eachother as well.
Thanks! And yes, not too far away.
Wow! What an incredible collection! I enjoyed the whole video of you showing it off. I hope you get a nice display cabinet for all your big box PC games one day!
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 :)
I am like 5 mins in and this is already one of the best game rooms I've seen haha 😄 ❤
Very cool!
So clean. I see alot of nice collections that are just a mess and not organized. Some people have no idea how to make a place or collection look clean and professional. GG
It’s definitely hard to keep rearranging things to not look overwhelming or too cluttered. We had to do quite a bit more after getting the Sega display cabinet in my latest video. Right now I’m trying to figure out a way to get two more arcade games into the collection-they will be the subject of my next two videos more than likely. Thanks for watching and thanks for the compliment!
holy smokes. Awesome room.
Happy Birthday Todd Misty sent me!!!
One of my favorite places to visit and one of my favorite people. Love this, Tod!
And you are one of the collection's favorite people :) Thanks!
This was stunning!! Over the years, I have seen hundreds of various gamerooms across youtube, but this one HAS to be one of my favorites! I think it's the arcade carpet you put on...
Regardless of the impressive size, display and rarity of your collection, I think the thing that absolutely sold me on the video was your enthusiasm and small tidbits of information on each item you showed off! It really showed off your passion and care for your collection and it was a joy to watch. Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thanks for the nice comments! I am busy working on something new (to me) for the collection room and hope to get another video out by the end of the month. I’m glad you enjoyed this one.
@Tod's Video Games and More! Awesome! Looking forward to whatever it may be!
Incredible collection Mr. Tod!
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful collection and passion Tod. It insprires me to keep collecting the various video games, trading cards, and comics I love even with a family and one day having the space to display it even half as nicely as your collection.
I love seeing all collections big and small. It’s a great hobby and finding stuff that gives you joy is the whole point. Good luck on all your collecting endeavors!
Hands down the best collection! 🤘 Tod you definitely went above and beyond on the presentation!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Would definitely love to come and game again!
Amazing collection! Loved the Pac Man arcade machines. The C64, The original EQ and Vanguard boxes. Great job filming and narrating this collection!
Good eye! Did you happen to spot the WoW server blade in the video? It was the server I played on when the game launched.
This is an insanely cool collection. My gosh.
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing collection. Could actually be my favorite collection I have seen to date. Top 5 for sure
Thanks! Appreciate the positive comments :)
How big is this dudes house, seems as big as a small office building with so many different rooms of games and arcades. Pretty amazing✨
The overflow collection is at another site. My house can't handle it all :)
Good job buddy! The collection is truly awesome and you did this tour video perfectly 👌
Thanks! Thought I had already responded on here (and not just FB) but appreciate the good vibes.
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.
Much appreciated! I did indeed have an Atari Lynx back in the day but didn't use it very much. We got a Sega Nomad and played it quite a bit more. I'd like to get one again--I don't have one in my collection.
Absolutely in awe of your collection, your variety of kiosks is incredible! Congratulations on tour collection and youtube channel.
Thanks! Hope to have plenty of fun deep-diving into some of the cool stuff over time.
cool collections, I can say how much love you put in to your space
Def one of the best collections. Amazing man.
I love that you put down the old arcade carpeting. It's a nice touch!
Thanks! It is definitely eye-catching!
Happy Birthday Tom🎉 Misty sent me!! 😁
Really nice collection! So much nostalgia. That large gameboy is awesome.
Thanks! It’s certainly a really cool display item :)
That carpet just fits so well with the rest of the stuff! Great collection.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Todd! 🎂🦞🍬🍰🧁🍭🍬
A truly amazing collection! And I truly enjoyed the quality of the presentation. Great work!
That is an amazing collection! 👏
Now I know where I want to go for my whole vacation. LOL Love the video!
Haha. Thanks!
Amazing collection! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Wow the kiosk collection you have is amazing 🫨🍻👍
Misty sent me...happy belated birthday. This is an awesome collection. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely sick game room
Omg i ve played this snes kiosk in 1992 in LA, set up with mario cart. My brother and me spent the whole vacation in there.... 😂 That one time i was in USA. Greetings from germany.
Wow! That sounds like a fun vacation! Seems like we have a lot of viewers from Germany. Maybe I'll get over there someday :)
Impressive game collection and room 👍
So, you're saying dentistry is the profession to get into that will pay for this obsession? Got it! Joking aside, what a collection. Serious time, investment, repair, and setup of everything! Impressive doesn't even begin to describe this!
It definitely helps-I know a few dentists who are collectors and it can be an expensive hobby. I’m a bit cheap though-always looking for things that I find cool that others don’t. That used to work great but now everything seems to be desirable :)
The Nomad was indeed a wicked system! Cindy has great taste!
Thanks, I spent many happy hours playing it. Fun side note, I persuaded Tod to make the Sega wall in the game room.🙂
love this game room. Definitely my favorite on youtube.
Thanks!
Wow, just wow! Amazing collection (amazing doesn’t seem a strong enough word). I really enjoyed watching and I hit that subscribe button. Respect from the UK.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
this is insane! i love it !
Awesome Collection!!!!!
900th subscriber! It's so much fun seeing the fruits of your lifelong passion. Thanks for the tour!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've continued to expand and rearrange since this video. I have the Sega Cabinet video for part of the expansion and am about to add a video on a crazy Tron arcade restoration. Thanks for the sub--I'm nearing the 1,000 mark!
Amazing collection. The fact you had three stadium events at one time is crazy. Even more so 2 WTCs!? Unreal. My stadium events cart graded a 9.4 so I'm pretty sure we're number 1 and 2 in terms of grades from wata. Beautiful collection!
Thanks! Well, good stories on all that and probably ones I’ll make shorter videos on before too long :)
Happy Birthday Tod! Misty sent me.
That gameboy kiosk is incredible. Also enjoyed the c64 games. I recently got one myself but finding games has been hard.
For as many people who had c64 systems it is hard to find games. I still have my boxes but loaned all my 5 1/4” floppies to someone else way back in the day and never saw them again..
New to your channel, absolutely mind-blowing, epic is an understatement. 😊😊😊
Glad you liked it. For some reason my channel has become popular lately but mainly due to the arcade restorations. I have plenty of console gaming content to work with as well. That’s what happens when you keep accumulating stuff over the years while the wife looks the other way :)
Awesome stuff, Tod. I started collecting in '98 just to try and get as many NES games as I could. I had no idea it would end up being one of the best investments of my life. I passed up too many great things at killer prices because I already had them. Though I completed the NTSC set, I wish I would have stuck with it and expanded my collection like you before things became so crazy!
I'd certainly love to go back and just buy buy buy :) And I knew that some of the stuff I was buying was likely to be worth more in the future but I had no idea just how much. It's been crazy for sure!
What an incredible arcade ‼️ Happy birthday 🎂 Todd 🎉.
Misty sent me 🙃‼️
Incredible
Tempest! Man one of my favorites, Zaxon was another that I loved. Hard game.
I remember playing Tempest on the pool deck at a hotel a short distance away. As in jump out of the pool, put in a quarter, and play it with water dripping everywhere. It was great fun, though!
great taste.GORF....played my heart out on the commodoreC64 like there was no tommorow.cherish this since then
It's a great one!
dude this is insane!
Nice! I didn't know you had a RUclips channel, but I remember seeing some of this in the documentary 'Nintendo Quest' several years ago. You've gained a subscriber!
Haha. Yep, that was me. Cool experience for sure :) Thanks!
Amazing 👏👏👏👏
amazing! 😊👍
Your kids will never be allowed to say “im bored theres nothing to do”
No, they are not, And we had nearly all their birthday parties in the basement just ordering pizza and turning the games on :)
Coooooool ! I want to go there
Jeezus you got a sick collection.
that is an amazing collection!! 😲😲
Your collection is wild 😮😮😮
Cheers mate
Kudos to your camera person.
Camera person thanks you for your appreciation 😊
The lovely Cindy Curtis did an admirable job :) I used an iPad Pro for wide angle filming so her arms got tired of holding it out after a while.
Incredible collection!
Thanks!
Amazing ❤
It looks nice and organized , well done
Thanks!
