A Texan has collected over 20,000 games, including many rarities. However, many games, he reveals, he has not even played. There are also games in his collection that were never officially available for purchase.
Who is it about? Antonio Monteiro is an American from Texas. The special thing: He owns the largest game collection in the world.
How many games does he have? Currently, he has 20,139 games (as of March 29, 2019). It took him eight days to count his entire collection. By now, he likely has a few more games.
Where can you view the collection? The official YouTube channel of the Guinness World Records interviewed the owner and made a video. We have embedded the official video for you here (in English):
What can be seen in the video? In the video, the owner takes the viewers through his large collection. He also shows a few rarities that are worth more than 700 dollars each today.
Has he played all the games? In another video on YouTube, he reveals that he has not played all the games: many games are still unopened and in their original packaging. Because at heart, he is primarily a collector and not a hardcore gamer.
Many rare games, but his highlight is an ancient game
Monteiro also has an absolute favorite in his collection. It is Castlevania IV. The game was released by Konami in 1991 for the Super NES.
Are there special games? One special game in his collection is Max Basic Rifle Marksmanship Program. It is a game that was developed exclusively for the US military by Nintendo and was never intended for the public.
