Gamestop be like : That'll be about 20 bucks.

Wonder how many times he bought a game thinking he didn't have it, but he did

Clearly you haven’t heard of the Last Gamer

Dude should SOOO create a video gaming museum!!!! at $5 a ticket...dude would be ROLLING in money for people to see stuff like that!

John Hancock is really cool but .. What about Joel the Last Gamer ? He has the wold record .. and a youtube show

pretty sure the last gamer has a bigger collection

Whoever dislikes this is a kid that doesn't have any games.

That game room never ceases to amaze me. Like looking in the ark of the covenant, only without the melting faces.

Is John Hancock his real name? Isnt that slang for a signature? Why do big guys tuck their shirts in? Doesn't it just accentuate the belly? Will these questions ever get answered? I'm hungry?

John Hancock is my Twin RU-vidr! I sometimes get messages on RU-vid from random people saying: You look the same, you look like twins!! :D

I feel like we had a VIS briefly when I was growing up. I remember, in the first home I lived in (early - mid 90s), my sister and I would play this Sesame Street video game on something connected to the TV, that wasn't a PS1 or anything. For the longest time, I had no clue what it was, and I've thought about it occasionally over the years.

I wonder if he has battletoads.

I saw that copy of Gateway to Apshai at 22:00. I had that on my Commodore 64. One of my favorite games, next to Jumpman.

Oh yeah, when i saw the instagram pictures i was waiting for a room video! The Immortal John Hancock, the happiest man on earth! Awesome video Barn!

love how he smiles when he talks about it all great collection

The farther they go back ......the more they time travel back in time lol 😂 omg i see the beginning of time ......well my beginning is Atari 2600 lol

John is a very smart guy to collect in a time that nobody cares about collecting. The same as a guy I know that created websites in the nineties and sold it years later for huge amount of money. I preferred drinking beer and smoking stuff. Too bad

While being an epic collection, I think I will stick to downloading my games :)

This is such an awesome collection. You should check out Last Gamer (Joel Hopkins) RU-vid channel. He got some awesome stuff.

You used every inch.... yeah that is kind of the thing when you get a massive collection. Its a sport to even get more into the same room.

I work for GameStop, I'll give you $23.57 cash or $31.29 trade-in.

Jerry i really loved this video, and i am a huge fan of john hancock. Glad to see you back on track man loving the content

You're right he's not a millionaire, he's a multi-millionaire because of that collection

BORING

HOARDER

I'm the only one who heard "The Immoral" John Hancock?

John Hancock how did get into video game collecting a long time ago let's see some video games i got into please

does he plan on collecting Sinclair Spectrum and Amstrad?

I have autism and all these charity's make me feel so happy it's so nice to see that people care

Still such an amazing collection 🙏

coleco was my first system still have it even though it died

How many consoles are there????more then 50???

I had the ColecoVision when I was a kid. I loved that thing, 1984 was the year.

THE IMMORTAL JOHN HANCOCK!

oKAY...OK....ok.....we need A: more cow bell & B: part 2-3-4-5-6-7 of this guys room....agreed?

I fell asleep with your videos playing and had this crazy dream. We went on a road trip with your wife while playing a genesis you had set up in your vehicle. It got me thinking of a retro gaming taxi service.

Well I did see what looks to be like a Commodore 128 and the old 1571 5 1/4 floppy drive. Does he have the good old Commodore 64 with the Commodore 1530 Datasette? Man those we so slow to load a game. Basically it took like 1/2 an hour or longer just to load a game [or find out if it didn't load correctly then you would have to star all over again]. They made piracy of games so easy back then, all you needed was a twin deck tape player and you were set. What I did see that he had a Boss Joystick, Those were great, It made playing "Elite" back in the 80's [the predecessor to Elite Dangerous] so much fun. Ahhh the 80's, they were great times as a kid.

This guy's wife must be a saint.

surprised jerry didnt know about the Odyssey, its the first commercial video game console ever.

what a sweet guy

Hard to take this interview serious when their guts are touching lol.

I think it looks very organized and clean, great video guys!!

Amezing mind blowing stuff and you got married for 15 years, wow well done.

I see intelivsion games!!!

Also john says the odyssey was a pong clone, odyssey and ralph baer basically invented pong and atari ripped them off, neil bushnell went to see the Odyssey and just made a better version that kept score and had better physics.

John is the nicest freaking guy in the world, really. He's a cool, considerate, knowledgeable and upbeat guy. He's got an epic collection as well!

0:35 - 0:37 ... WOAH DUDE!

Nice collection. I've been collecting for around 39 years now myself. Early on I made the decision to only collect the games I enjoy to play. I really only collect mint condition, complete games too. I was lucky enough to have bought about 90% of my collection (4,000ish games, 250+ systems) at the time when they were still being sold as new. I feel bad for collectors just starting up now. Especially with Nintendo games. The prices have gone nuts in the past 10 years.

I feel sorry for his wife.

Hes an awesome dude.

Wow....this is a trip back to the childhood for sure! Pitfall II for the Atari 2600 was amazing - so need to pick it up again someday. I played about demo'ing the Bally Astrocade from the 70's at Montgomery Ward - funkiest controllers ever! Oh yeah...so many memories in that room that I saw. Love it!

this is awesome!

"SEGAAAA.. doesn't sue RU-vidrs like Nintendo." @20:01 ROTF I died, my brother resuscitated me, and I died again.

Did people know they planned a new Conkers Bad Fur Day but someone ran over Conkers Nuts.

John, you really should have that Stadium Events in a safe deposit box, or at least some sort of water tight/fire resistant safe. As unlikely as it is, bad things happen. Even loose it is worth about 8-10 grand, it would be a huge loss in terms of just collectible rarity, to say nothing of the financial loss. (Cool Megaforce poster BTW)

John's such a cool guy. Already subbed to him. Great episode guys.

Odyssey 2, thats what I started with. That and the TI-92 keyboard thing though my older brothers enjoyed that more. Pick Ax Pete and the Rings quest. Good times on black and white TV's

John you're my inspiration to get a full Mega Drive/ Genesis collection. Only 2 Genesis games so far but at 33 MD's Long way to go roughly over 700 games.

You know what I want to see, it's an unboxing of all the sealed games and systems....

stuff like this is why i hate myself for getting rid of some of my games and systems. back in 2000. my buddy sold me his snes and 12 games for $40. it had super mario and the remake of the 3 mario games on nes. secret of manna. and a few others and earthbound. i had that for a long time and played the crap out of it. sold system and games but kept earthbound. a year later lost it at a friends house and never saw it again

Now do a room tour of Jason "DreamTR" Wilson's collection, that dude has a ton of rare prototypes and both NWC's

The Nintendo GameCube was 50% of my early childhood! 😂

Sweet collection! I live in NYC so there's no way I could ever have space for something like this :P ;)

intellivison shelf looks like our home as a kid. We had tons of intellivsion games between us and our cousins

Vectrex at 00:06:49 00:12:30 Magnavox Odyssey stealing IP??? LOL! Someone needs to read their VG history.

Jerry and john Riggs! Rocking the house.!

I really need to sell my N64 & PS2 Slim + their games already but I have no clue what forum or whatever to use, any suggestions?

MetalJesusRocks

Great video! always happy to see Mr. Hancock showing off stuff I've never seen. I really enjoyed every second of it.

What about the Panasonic 3DO FZ-10 does he have that.

Finally a real video, nobody's really shown his collection. Thumbs up:)

that's a huge collection! good work :)

I was wondering, has John ever been contacted by any preservation groups in regards to some of his rarer old pc games?

Such an amazing collection and a big fire hazard. Id have some good alarms. Id worry all the time. Awww he has a Sega Core System in blue box. I wonder if its the High Def Graphics model like my old one? I miss mine SO MUCH. Sold it and my SNES like new in box for $50 each so I could buy a AMD 486DX4-100 cpu around 1995.

My most remembered NES games were probably, Lifeforce, Dodgeball, and Marble Madness.

This just put my little collection of about 70 titles for each NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, N64, PS1 to shame. I'm always living in basement apartments and my stuff keeps getting damaged from environment VERY depressing. Any tips on keeping a room with the right conditions? What is the temp/ humidity of that room?

loved the "SEEEGAAAA doesntsueyoutuberslikeNintendo" part XD

14:35 - I worked at Spencer Gifts part-time in high school and college from 1981 until 1985. For a very brief period when I worked there (1982-ish, I think?) they actually sold the Odyssey 3000 as well as two other even more obscure consoles, whose names I've long forgotten. It played like an Atari 2600...if you shoved the joystick up your ass. All I remember about it is it had something like a Pac Man clone and something like a Bomberman clone, and that the graphics were all done in this weird shade of purple.

I'm curious if he has a copy of the illusive Atari 2600 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (video game) that was buried in the Alamogordo, New Mexico landfill... or anything they unearthed from the excavation

Damn, the Power Pad...bringing back memories for me Barn! My cousin passed away in a car accident in the mid-90's and one of the best memories was visiting his family and him in rural Texas. He had an NES and we played the Olympics game non-stop. The long jump was my jam!!

The one thing I was looking for in here was the NES Advantage joystick controller. I LOVED that controller. It was such a win for my disabled hands. I also saw 'Paperboy' and the Power Pad. Seeing the Power Pad was cool.

Didn't see it, but does John have any of those old Texas Instruments computers, the TI-99/4A that hooked up to your tv via coaxial? They had cartridges that you slid into a slot on the right hand side? That was my first computer when I was five. It was a hand-me-down from my dad (who worked for Atari) and my uncle (who worked at Texas Instruments). It was a fun system and led to my life as a gamer. I wish I still had my Commodore 64 as well. Great video, great work Barnacules!

My very first system was the N64, I saved forever but one day my mother and grandmother got so tired of me talking about it that they chipped in the last bit just to shut me up! Came ofc with Super Mario 64 and I don't remember if I got Mario Kart later or at the same time but man I played that thing sooo much. Still have it 20ish(?don't quote me?) something years later. Also the PS one (tiny one) it did me sooo good! Destruction derby RAW and Sled Storm. Best gaming memories ever! :)

so you recorded all the green screen stuff when are you going to use it :O ?

more videos with John hancock!!! and more gaming content!

commodore 1571 and I I have a 1581 that still works

Really impressive.I love it. Don't want to take anything away from your awesome collection.But my childhood discovery from this vid,was the Commodore stuff.

I actually found a vectrex this past yardsale sale season. I actually got pretty lucky because I was looking for a flea market that was advertised on the internet and me and my friend got lost and ended up in Connecticut we are from Massachusetts so we were about a thousand feet into Connecticut about to turn around and some guys driveway when we realized who is setting up a yard sale. We were the first customers of the day and the gentleman running the yard sale must have been 85 years old so I wasn't going to ask but something inside me told me to explore further. You'd be surprised how much asking helps out because he was not going to put the metric system out that day as he didn't think anybody would want it. So I asked and he went upstairs for about 10 minutes and came back and goes well this is all I have and he showed me with four games and offered to sell it to me for $5 before he could even finish this sentence I had my money out. So I snagged Avec checks with for games not even really realizing what I had in my possession at that point until later when I looked up the price and was floored. So I kept this system for about 3 days before throwing it on Craigslist just to see what I could get so in the end I ended up trading it for an ice blue and 64 console in the Box with Mario 64 boxed as well as Star Fox the big box box and a copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day loose and he also gave me $185 cash. So I feel I did not do too bad whatsoever on that sale. But it just goes to show you how fun yard sale and can really be you never know what you are going to run into out there in the wild. I found this completely by mistake. My other good find was at a local Goodwill down the street from my house. And they had a box of boxed Nintendo games listed at $10 a piece as well as a miracle piano in box for the original Nintendo. So it was $100 price tag on the Miracle piano and $10 a piece on a box of box Nintendo games there was about 25 in the box so I was looking at a $350 purchase which I could not do. So I went up to the lady and figured I would buy a few Nintendo games when I came across a game that had no price sticker on it I asked if this one also $10 and her being new replied to me oh the whole box is $10 not just that one game. So I snagged up the box quicker than you could even blink. Some notable games were a box copy of Mega Man 6 a box copy of gold cart Zelda as well as a box copy of contra and many more. The pricecharting value for this box was about $780 so I went to my local retro game store down the street from my house and sold it to them that day for about $325 and I got to keep the Mega Man the Contra and the Zelda for myself so for $10 I got $325 plus three great box games. So afterwards I went back to the Goodwill the miracle piano was still there and they were doing scratch tickets for my first purchase where you could scratch off and win prizes at the Goodwill. Well I wanted to talk price at day which was 50% off your next purchase so I use that card ended up getting the miracle piano for $50 boxed. So overall I spent $60 and after everything was said and done I had about $275 prophet the Mega Man 6 boxed Zelda boxed and the Contra boxed as well as the miracle piano in box and I only spent $60. So those two events with some of the best in my video game hunting career. Thank you for the constant inspiration John.

Jerry, I'd like to meet this guy hes cool. Also I'm looking for PS3 console, PS3 Game and Gun with Time Crisis 4. Thanks, -Mike

It's making me feel dirty watching a video of yours in which you are not wearing pajama pants Mr. Gasm. Also, I love Mr. Hancock's colabs with Metal Jesus :D

That green filter makes everything look like it has severe sun fading on the boxes. :P

Man, I use to use the Wii fit for hours, literally... :( Right now it is just sitting on my floor in my room, I don't even have a Wii in here. I just use it as a board to sit computers on. Dang, you feel old when you think back to the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis... dang...

Hey barnecules I've got Commodore 64 game disks that are 30 years old that still work like new. One of my favorite systems around. I love all the systems though. IMO they don't make games like they used to. Enjoy the channel and keep it up. Later
