    Joel from the Last Gamer YouTube channel has more than twice as many games as this man. He was the record holder before this guy when he only catalogued a portion of his collection, but doesn’t seem interested in going through the process again due to it being time consuming. https://youtu.be/Ox7En_cYAa8

    That’s a lot of games, almost as much as John Hancock’s collection.

    Cool story, but most of those are just common games. This just screams hoarder. I mean keeping cereal boxes, infinity/skylanders, and Barbie games…. Cmon guy. Again, cool story, but pretty lame.

  35. Alex Roberto on December 5, 2021 at 3:43 pm

    $1.6 million is the price of one unopened Super Mario nowadays.

  46. Brainlet Johnson on December 5, 2021 at 3:56 pm

    If the world ended and he was left in a underground bunker with all of these games he would have enough games to last a lifetime.

  47. Barbosa Sobrinho on December 5, 2021 at 3:59 pm

    I think he took the title from Last Gamer. Didn’t they get to have an argument?

  48. Sophie Crawshaw on December 5, 2021 at 4:00 pm
