Riyadh: Ibrahim Al-Nasser, a gaming enthusiast from Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh, has set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the most gaming consoles connected to a single television.
Al-Nasser managed to connect 444 different gaming devices to a single television screen using an innovative external adapter.
His collection includes a mix of modern and retro game consoles such as Xbox 360, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Neo Geo AES, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and others as well as the Magnavox Odyssey.
In addition, it has various accessories that are connected to the respective systems, including N64DD, Famicom Disc System, 32X, Dreamcast Karaoke Machine and SNES Satellaview.
In an interview with Guinness World Record, Al-Nasser said: “I have so many video game consoles. After a while, I realized that I had a big pile of game consoles that I couldn’t play.”

“TV connections are limited and if I want to play, I can either unplug the existing console or keep everything and add more switches and converters.”
“It includes hundreds of video game consoles, all of which are different. All consoles also require special setup and cable management,” he added.
To overcome these challenges, Al-Nasser developed a solution to manage a large number of consoles, including over 30 RCA switchers and over a dozen HDMI switchers.
He also created an Excel spreadsheet that serves as a guide for enabling certain toggles to access specific consoles.
Al-Nasser has expressed his fondness for the Sega Genesis as his absolute favorite system.
