- I have a problem. I went to a gaming convention and came home $200 lighter, but I got a lot of really fun games and accessories.

Bro it truly is insane how weird game prices are for these older games. Like that Crash pack is a steal but then any good condition GameCube game forces you to take out your 401k. Rlly entertaining vid
Thank you :) and yep some of the prices are nuts. Luckily a lot of the games I want are in the €30 or below bracket, I won't be paying hundreds from one game lol
1:03 I actually owned the same Crash pack! Twin sanity was a game I got completely stuck on for some reason I could never complete as a kid
I'm the exact same, I've never beaten it. I think I got stuck on the ice area boss
Hey, glad you're happy with the pickups. One thing I would say though is... if you're looking to do it long term... not getting copies with manuals might become a regret. It did for me and I ended up flipping hundreds of my retro games which weren't CiB. I only buy CiB now, because I like having the complete package and they have a lot more value when sold on later.
Thanks for the tip. I could regret it but I genuinely just want a small curated collection of games that I love and would want to show my kids whenever I have them (if they're into gaming of course). Almost like a time capsule
I've never really cared about condition etc because I only ever want cheap games. If I were say buying Paper Mario TTYD then I would make sure I get a good copy. Thanks for watching
We're on the same boat. Spending money for nostalgia lol great video
Let's sink this ship together lol. Thanks for watching :) which game do you want to see a video on first?
Man I really need to get that LotR game on gba, I know you told me about it before and it’ll definitely be right up my alley. Also Diddy kong racing is a great pickup, that’s another one I loved back in the day and need to get back in my collection.
I'm on the hunt for the LotR GBA games. Thanks for watching Bicen 👍
I used to collect then I got tired of spend so much money on old games that I can emulate on my PC for free
I feel that, while I did cut back on the spend, I haven't stopped totally. Got more retro games than I could possibly complete in my life. So it's nice to divert a regular chunk of my spending money into other hobbies while I take a back seat on retro.
Yeah I get that, my main goal is to build a curated collection of games I really like rather than just collect for collections sake
I play golf (which is quite expensive) so I have to balance my spending money into modern gaming, retro gaming & golf - it gets expensive fast lol
@@RETRObutionofficial Ya, almost certainly. Great sport choice.
Great sport but I'm terrrrrible at it lol. Only been playing 2 years but Jesus Christ it's impossible 😂
