That's a stunning collection of dedicated arcade cabs! But a JarJar Binks lifesize statue... that ruins everything

 

Lots of nice cabs, hardly a PCB collection though.

 

He said he owns over 1000 arcade PCB's (Including every capcom PCB)

 

And I think turning a very common cinema room into a room for pinball tables is awesome!

Although to be fair, none of the tables I've seen in the videos could be described as 'rare', but then again I wouldn't call them common. With pinball tables, rarity is not an indication of value.

For example, The Addams Family is a well sought after table that a lot of people want, holds a very strong price yet they made ~27,000 units, more than any other pinball table of the modern era. Compare that to something like Frankenstein, which has a production run of around 3,000 units, which makes it more rare but generally sells for far less.

It boils down to the fact that these are coin operated machines and were bought by operators to generate money. If the game was good fun and sucked in a lot of money, then operators would buy more of that table. Same goes with the opposite, if the table sucked and didn't generate much money, then no one bought them to operate and hence there are very low production numbers. Sometimes that rule doesn't apply, especially to the late 90's Williams games as even though they are regarded as some of the best games ever made, pinball was in a massive decline so not many were produced.

 

That Tetris is fake.
The question is, he knows it?
And how much has been paid for it?

 

Didn't know this one yet, I lol'd HARD! XD

It's nice to have internet and streaming video's these days, to worship the beauty of the world! (aka awesome game collection!)

 

How do you know its fake? He's a rich bastard so it could be real.

 

If I was that guy I'd also have an insane Star Wars collection displayed in a room that looks like a star destroyer bridge.

 

Unless he can prove that he owned it before 2006 (when bootlegs became possible, thanks to a cover scan on Tetris Collection for PS2), I would remain very sceptical.

 

Because i know the original one and exist some evidences and differences on the cover.
Money does not give you knowledge.

 

Does he show his collection of Nintendo consoles/handhelds in one of his videos?

 

no

 

nice stuff

 

Very very cool, love the look of the collection. On a side note, why do so many of you feel compelled to talk down his achievements? It's without a doubt a fantastic collection and he should be respected.

 

I guess that's because he does not come off as a humble person in all of his videos.

If you would have people speak well of you, then do not speak well of yourself.

I think he's just very proud of his collection and I'm not really sure how your meant to show off 100's of games/cabinets while trying to be the most humble person ever. It was just a quick video showing it off after all. Your all entitled to your opinions though I suppose

 

Have you seen his other videos? Watch the Ferrari, "this game sells for a million dollars", blabla. Don't get me wrong, I would never say his collection itself is not good - it's obviously amazing.

 

Since he claims he got his tetris years ago from a sega employee, I highly doubt it's fake...
