Author Brett Weiss has written several highly respected books on the history of the video game industry, and unsurprisingly has managed to amass a pretty awesome collection of consoles and systems over the past few decades.
iretrogamer.com - a new YouTube venture from occasional Nintendo contributor Tyler Esposito - was lucky enough to take a tour of Weiss' "Room of Doom", which is packed to bursting point with amazing gaming gear. Weiss also gives a little info on how he got into writing about games, and names some of his favourite consoles and titles.
This is the first of a whole host of new videos from Esposito, so be sure to subscribe to his channel to keep yourself informed of future posts.

Wow, very cool collection he has. Something I noticed while watching the clips of Shinobi. As he was talking about simplicity of gameplay there's another factor that seems left out. It's a sort of uniform grace to how they play as well. A lot of modern games mimic the look of some of the classics but they forget about getting the feel down. That classy feel that made the old games feel right. A lot of times games look good but just don't feel like a lot of fun.
lot of folks here dont have a game room. thats why no ones posting. i can relate to the awesomeness of having one, so i shall comment.
An man-cave is not an room of games. It is an room of tools and carbine utilities as well. So I mean unless it also contains an gambling table or two, but seriously not an man-cave by the slightest.
I have an small area with all my stuff as well. I call it my peaceful corner. My area of solitude.
