Imagine how much time it takes to choose a game on this system.
A Saudi video game collector, Ibrahim Al-Nasser from Riyadh, has set a new world record by connecting 444 gaming consoles to a single television. This incredible technical feat has been officially recognized by the Guinness World Records.
Al-Nasser's collection spans the entire history of the gaming industry, from the first home console, the Magnavox Odyssey, to popular systems like the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis), Sony PlayStation, and Nintendo 64. Additionally, he has gathered rare accessories, including the N64DD, Famicom Disk System, and SNES Satellaview.

To manage this complex setup, Al-Nasser has developed a unique method. He uses an Excel spreadsheet to help him determine which switch to use to display a specific console on the TV screen.
“I’ve accumulated so many consoles that I couldn't play them all due to the limited number of ports on the TV,” Al-Nasser told Guinness World Records representatives. “At that point, I decided to preserve everything and add more switches and converters.”
Ibrahim admitted that his favorite console is the Sega Genesis. However, the biggest challenge was creating a unified, neat, and organized system that integrates both modern and older consoles.
“Note that the cables are nearly invisible,” the record holder pointed out. “I used every available tool to organize the wires. This setup is not just for gaming; it’s a true museum.”
As a reminder, YouTuber Socket Science spent over a year developing a unique gaming laptop using components from desktop computers.
