Okay so if Ibrahim Al-Nasser had attempted this World Record in the USA or Europe he would have probably brought down the electricity grid but over in Saudi Arabia, the new home of the eSports Olympics there is no such power problem.
Video game collector Ibrahim has pretty much every console under the sun from his Magnavox Odyssey all the way up to a PlayStation 5 Slim. In between there are Super Nintendos, his favorite- the Sega Genesis, Ataris, and multiple of those plug-and-play joystick things your grandparents buy you as a gift because they know you like gaming.
Running off a spreadsheet and a huge number of AV switches all mapped out in Excel, at the press of a couple of buttons, the chosen console fires into life on the one screen.
It’s a crazy, crazy setup of 444 consoles alongside arcade machines and printable tables. The whole thing is like the best gaming museum of all time and I really need to hang out with this guy, if only to learn his ninja cable-management skills because pretty much none of them are on show here.
The value of such a games room is off the chart. Not only from a financial outlay but historically too, and the reward for such endeavors is a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for Most Gaming Consoles Connected To A Single TV – 444 making it well worth the effort.
I had a period of trying to connect all my retro consoles to a TV through a couple of old Extron AV switches but gave up as things got really complicated, really quickly, so I can fully appreciate what Ibrahim has managed to achieve here.
Now try doing it from one extension socket and make it look more like my games room. Not so cocky now are we?
