insane. would hate to be the one following this video

I think the trick will be the style of the video and how it’s produced because outside Pat’s insane collection, I think Lance is tough to beat. We should turn this into a March Madness bracket tournament. If anyone has their own game room videos, please post them as a user submission and let us know! I love these videos.

Very nice… I can’t wait to start filling my basement (when we get a house) with Arcade machines…

Impressive. Hope he isn’t moving anytime soon. That’s a lot of shit.

what? You don’t want to help me move? haha. Nah yeah I have also thought of this and will be hiring movers exclusively for the man cave if we ever decide to buy a bigger house hehe.

Good call on the movers. Your power strips / surge protectors must be sweating all that electricity. Again, nice video. Wish I was smart enough to make a MAME cabinet for my friends. Basements aren’t as common in Virginia Beach.

Jesus Christ, that is a sick game room.

amazing lance, just awesome. im curious about your electrical panel set up. please tell me you set up separate breakers for your arcade units. cause it would be very dangerous to plug these into an existing circuit in your house

We upgraded the panel when we moved in a few years ago. These don’t actually draw too much power honestly. I have 4 individual circuits going to arcade area but they are in the same panel as the rest of the house. Have plenty of juice to spare.

One of the most amazing collections I have seen! I also have a dev PS1 from my game testing days. Makes me want to bring out my retro game systems and games.

Where do you find display cabinets like that? Not even necessarily nintendo branded, but I would love to have one of those.

http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

Craigslist and ebay my friend. I found mine by doing an advanced search on ebay by searching for “nintendo display” then in advances options picking within 50 miles of my zip code.

Smoke ManMuscle

Awesome! Thanks for the advice!! I’ll be doing some searching now.

Thats one of the biggest game collections I’ve ever seen, I’ve already knew you had that amount of stuff because of a video you uploaded in christmas but it’s as impressive as before. I think your collection surpass Pat’s and James. Handsome Tom also has a great game collection, it would be good if he can post his video here.

I’m deeply jealous

thanks bro.

SPac316

Nice pad as usual, Ito!
Derrick Fiddle

Awesome. Were you self taught in working on these machines? Gonna share this vid on facebook also.

http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

yeah, I just dove into the hobby a few years ago and picked up the inner workings.etc.

Game room tour was excellent and then you went into your arcade room – awesome!

Nice collection, Lance! I always wanted one of those four player MAME machines. Also, the Ninja Gaiden stage 1-1 music playing in the middle of the tour set the mood nicely.

http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

Thanks Brent. I urge all to stay away from buying arcade machines, it’s an infectious disease. Once you get one you’ll want another. Mame machines are like a gateway drug. Youll find a game you really like in your mame machine and eventually you will start thinking oh how cool would it be to have the real machine…cue to 13 machines later.

I guess I am immune to this disease then, I love collecting my console games, but my MAME cab is all I need for the arcade side….. although I would like a Pin cab…..maybe a shooter cab too……. oh god…… *checks for a fever*

FANTASTIC COLLECTION!!! FYI… You guys need a steady cam. I nearly threw up a few times watching this video. As it stands I ended up with a headache from all the out of focus close-ups and rapid pans.

http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

That was done purposely actually. When I first shot this I was shooting it to do a direct ripoff of MTV cribs, wasn’t liking how it was turning out, with the rap music, and presentation, so I re-shot the standup shots but kept the b-roll, and added NES music. Don’t worry, it won’t be a trend.

Definitely bigger than mine. I have more of a gaming nook, since I still live with my parents.
Kilios01

I wanna come hang out, LOL
Todd33

i take it you are a trust fund baby?? lol how can you afford all this

http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

haha far from it. Was definitely a poor kid growing up. Nor am I rich now, I just save.

Lance, you truly are the Godfather of RWTV. Nice collection. Your poor wife must be a saint. When my son was born, my Game/Star Wars room magically transformed into a nursery and now The Boy’s room.

http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

I do see a missing wing or 2 in the gamerooms future as my son gets older…..unless I move.

I’d rather go to Ito’s Basement than to Dave and Busters! I would love for one arcade cabinet then there’s this mad scientist hooking boards up to his tube tv. With so many options, how does one figure out what game is getting played that day?

JoshuaBoudreaux

easy answer…..all of them!
http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

to be honest, I don’t get to play too many games these days. Been trying to squeeze in more time though.

hardcore gamer
Jazzem

This is absolute insanity Ito, kudos! I hope to have a collection 1/10 as awesome as this someday The number of NES games alone made my jaw drop!

http://twitter.com/itobandito Lance Cortez

Thanks Jazzem. Definitely have slowed down in adding stuff but every once in a while I will go on buying binges. As for the NES games, oh wait till you see Pats haha.

Brad

Brad

bloodandmetal

PacmanPhrog

Stick2zero

jumblejunkie
