In the early days, it was not as convenient for gamers to experience different games as it is today. Different games required different physical cartridges, so even saving game cartridges required a certain amount of space.

Modern gamers no longer have this worry because of the existence of digital games. However, switching back and forth between different games still takes time. So is there a way to quickly switch between games at any time?



The answer is yes. Recently, Ibrahim Al-Nasser, a gamer from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, did this. By connecting a display screen to 444 game consoles, he can experience video games from any era in the past few decades. And this special combination of devices has also created the Guinness World Record for "connecting the most game consoles on a TV."



From a common perspective, this Saudi guy seems to be doing "Versailles" in a new way. You know, no display device can connect so many devices. To achieve the goal, you have to plan the cables, layout, and use a lot of converter devices.



These 444 gaming devices are of course not of the same model. From the first game console Magnavox Odyssey released in 1972 to the most popular PS5 console today, you can witness the development history of game consoles in this special e-sports room. Without the "billions of dollars" in assets, this goal would obviously not be achieved.



After connecting 444 gaming devices to one monitor, this Saudi Arabian player can play games as easily as changing channels on TV. Just switch the connected host device to experience different game content. In order to facilitate operation, he has specially listed Excel tables for searching which device is connected to which host and what game is in it.





Looking at the various gaming devices piled up in the room but arranged neatly, it is hard not to be shocked from the bottom of your heart. Although the Guinness World Records did not report the family situation of this Saudi brother, it is obvious that his personal strength should not be underestimated to have so many devices and to be able to use a room to house them.



In recent years, Saudi Arabia has often been associated with e-sports and games. Needless to say, the ongoing Saudi E-sports World Cup is also very popular. The famous DOTA2 player "Yuki Yuki" once reached level 100004 in the 2022 Battle Pass. It is said that the real identity of this player is Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman.



Games may be one of the most effective ways to bring people closer together. No matter who you are in real life, you are just an ordinary player in the game. Considering the limited online speed of gaming devices, this Saudi man who regards connecting to the host as a collection hobby may be able to maintain this record for a long time in the future.

I wonder what you all have to say about this?
