In my video game lifetime I’ve owned Pong, Atari 2600, Nintendo (OG), Sega Genesis, Sony Playstation and Nintendo Wii. I’ve spent years of my life renting different systems, blowing on cartridges and blowing literally thousands of dollars in arcades.
But this dude… DAMN!
Ibrahim Al-Nasser from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, made history recently by connecting 444 video game consoles to one TV.
His video game setup – which ranges from the vintage Magnavox Odyssey to the latest PlayStation 5 Slim – earned him a Guinness World Record.
He was able to wire everything together with over 30 RCA switchers and 12 HDMI switchers– and somehow kept messy cables out of sight (another World Record worthy achievement if you ask me).
Speaking to the impressive cable management, Al-Nasser said, “I used all the tools available on the market, everything available, in order to organize the cables. Also, to have a set up… It’s not only to play, it’s like a museum. That’s why this set up and this record took too much time from me.”
The world record holder did admit that among all the machines he owns, he has a favorite, “For me, the best gaming console of all time, number one always, forever, Sega Genesis.”
Game On!
