Andrew is a rockin ass dude
[Coury] This was really, really great. I love that the same games were the ones that made the big imprints on us.
Andrew should have his own channel too, he is natural.. Thank you for doing this
I agree. I would totally subscribe to andrew.
Great episode, can't wait to see more Andrew. He's a natural behind thee camera.
Finally we get to see Andrew after hearing all these stories all these years :D
It took me 35yrs, but now I'm that kid ( at heart) with every game and console first. My nephew and his friends are always hanging around.
Raine Storm :D
***** ain't that the truth I just turned 49 Saturday July 18th
I am 33 and I really enjoy watching Johnny's show and also meeting "older" gamers as well. I actually got a chanxe to play phantasy star when I was 6. I had some great dad memories as well:) love my dad for them.
I always pictured Andrew as perpetually wearing sunglasses and sporting a denim jacket. I don't know what to believe anymore.....
RetroRoadshow Yeah i somehow thought that all the kids from johnny's neighborood were wearing that bandana he used to wear !!!!!
I think that no instruction booklets, the internet, all that stuff takes away a great part of the anticipation and immersion of games. Going on vacations back in those days, hoping to bring back a cool videogame, the rest of the vacation you would dissect the art, the box, the booklet, you don't really get that anymore.
RetroDeath Definitely, man. I've been guilty on on-line guides, and it cheapens it every time. Even the packaging back then gave each game more "weight."
RetroDeath Wow yeah i remember that excatly what u said so true.
Junior Sanchez Man its really sad when u put it like that todays gaming hehe, usually u play a full no problem game these days a couple of months after release with patch 17 and update 25 lol.
Michael Ammons
So did I, but back in the day instruction booklets most of the time had exclusive artwork and back stories you didn't get within the game. Obviously I didn't need to look up that A was jump and B was shoot.
RetroDeath Yeah and particularly japaese imports, we couldn't get a clue what was going on but the artwork was SO much better than what we had back home. I got the original megadrive and sonic in japanese, then dragon ball z games or final fantasy, the manuals were so fucking awesome, they had posters and stuff too.
Great stories guys! You're a bit older than I am, but I still grew up in a pre-Internet era when information and releases weren't so widespread. It was a lot of fun, great memories.
Awesome memories. I wish I were still in touch with my old friends.
1st and only TH-cam gaming channel I always come back too!
Good to see that Andrew is such a enjoyable friend. Love this episode and your channel is one of my few favorites in youtube. Keep with your good work jhonny!
I could literally watch HOURS of you two PLUS ROBMAN just tell stories growing up! Crazy, I am you're guys' age and I SWEAR! You're gaming experiences MIRROR my own and I'm all the way down in Florida! Just an awesome channel/episode!
This is my favorite episode ever! I love that you finally got Andrew on the show to talk about all the stories.
he's pretty cool
Love your show Johnny. It's great having someone that I can live my childhood through. I don't play games like I used to but I can never forget the amazing memories I had growing up in the 80's. I recently had a 4 hour road trip and watched your episodes for the whole trip. Your channel has become my go to show on TH-cam. Keep it going!
Wow, what a wonderful surprise to click on the latest Happy Console Gamer video and find myself being introduced to the legendary Andrew. Absolutely terrific video; it's great to rehear some of your best childhood gaming stories with Andrew there providing clarification. Lots of interesting tales, lots of laughs.
Also, at 15:27 - A Box of Irrelevance would be an awesome title for an RPG.
Such great stories! I share a lot of the same memories as you two. My friend down the street & I always competed over which games we had except he had Nintendo and I had Sega. So we always had sleep overs at each others houses playing new games.
Love the channel man. It puts me in a happy mood observing your passion for gaming and the gaming community.
Such an awesome video Johnny. A friend of mine and I share stories like these when he comes down when we play certain games. Thanks Johnny for getting the legendary Andrew on the show, I know this comment is late, but man what a treat to hear his side of things.
This is great you've mentioned these stories a lot before it's always fun to look back in the past and remember how gaming was back then. I live in France and somehow my experience was very similar to yours, except we were importing a lot more directly from japan. i think there was something special about growing up in the 80's and 90's that will never come back. You had to be there.
Great episode! I really enjoyed seeing the reunion. Im from your generation of gamers and it def took me back. Thanks!
That was awesome!! Glad to finally see you Andrew. Awesome stories haha I love it because it makes me think back to those days and how it all went down for me. I missed out on a lot of stuff but I really enjoyed what I had.
Im like 30 seconds into watching the video and I'm already pumped! If you've been watching Johnny Millennium says day one, the you know what's up!
Best youtube channel / perfect way to start the Sunday morning & week!
Awesome video! Looking forward to more of you two this week.
What a great reunion
great video! it was cool finally seeing Andrew, and yeah like everyone is saying, he is a natural in front of the Camera, would be cool if you guys had some pictures of both of you two were young hanging out together. love the memories, definitely reminds me of mine!
You have to be a certain age (our age) to appreciate the evolution of games like this.
SmoothEmJay Yes we were there when gaming started all the way to now, weve seen it all not a lot of people have and understands just how hard we fought for this.
I love these nostalgia videos so much. I'm starting to have nostalgia for my first gaming days recently and these types of videos really help bring out that positivity.
It's so awesome time finally see him here! I hope to see you two make more videos in the future, because your story time videos are always so much fun to listen to.
I remember getting Sega Genesis in the Christmas of 1991. It was the only present for me and my sister. I was 9 years old and it came with the original Sonic the Hedgehog and I remember being enthralled by it. Green Hill Zone music is forever a nodtalgic staple in my childhood memories.
nostalgic*
So awesome to finally "meet" Andrew. What a great guy. Looking forward to the next few episodes
Awesome episode! Very enjoyable and looking forward to more of these memories with you guys. :D
Such a great episode! Looking forward to more stories!
Really great episode and so emotional. Watching you two talking about your childhood, a was experiencing flash backs from my childhood. Thank you HappyConsoleGamer
I love your show and every episode is awesome, but this is one my favorites! You can see the passion between you guys.
Best show on TH-cam.
Man!!! This is just like me and my friend Daniel! He always had everything before me lol. It wasn't until later in life I actually started to catch up to his collection 😉 but this video brings all the nostalgia from the 80's 90's!
Thanks for the review guys. I loved hearing you talk about your first experience with these games. It really takes me back just hearing about it.
Fun video as always. Great to finally see you guys together, going down memory lane.
Excellent episode! Getting brand new games back then was certainly a different experience than it is now. I still pull out my C64 monitor to play retro games. For some reason, that thing is still crystal clear and the best way to play my Saturn games :)
This was a historic video and it's awesome to see Andrew finally. I can't wait for the other videos you guys put up. This reminds me of the good ole days of hard core gaming I had with friends on my block when having a system was a big deal.
God such a.great episode. Thanks for sharing. I could literally watch this all day.
Great video from the both of you, we were so lucky to be around in those days experiencing the evolving of video games, it was such an exciting time
Epic memories! Thanks for sharing!
That was great the 24 minutes flew by. Wish I had such good gaming experiences, and kept in touch with people I knew growing up.
Great to meet Andrew at long last, comes across very well on camera. You guys and your 'do you remember when' dialogue remind me of when me and a friend hook-up and talk about our childhood and gaming, etc. I guess a lot of people can connect with this also. Great show!
Haha i remember some of those stories from your previous videos ;D
I always enjoy watching your stuff
What an awesome episode, so great to hear these stories from someone else after all these years.
Fantastic stuff! Looking forward to the upcoming vids :)
Very nice and fun stories guys. Enjoyed the whole Video and looking forward for the next one
This is easily one of my favorite episodes of your show ever. Awesome stuff, really looking forward to the other ones!
This story really resembles my life also, i had a friend of mine that has the latest games and latest systems, and i always have to to go to his place so i could play the games that i did not have, and many of your story really nails what i went through on video games and so on.
That revolutionary moment you guys talk about with phantasy star was the same feeling we had when our family got Zelda OOT and an N64 for Xmas in 1998. It was unlike anything I had ever seen, such an amazing memory.
I used to use a C64 monitor to play NES back in the day it was excellent.
Groove Gamer Same, and I even used mine as a TV for a short while, hooking my VCR, and cable line up too it, and using the VCR as the tuner, plus the speakers on the thing where not 1/2 bad.
+Groove Gamer Then you took an arrow in the knee.
Awesome video. I had a Master System in 1987. I remember being blown away by Hang On and Thunderblade. I also loved a game called Lord Of The Sword that nobody seems to remember.
These are my favourite type of videos with old stories:)
This was a fun watch Johnny.
I love when you have guests over and just reminisce.
very nice memories and story!! I am sad not having grown up with games. I grew up in 60s and 70s
Great video. My friends and I experienced so many similar things growing up. Keep it up Johnny!
Lol, great video, not sure how I missed this one up until now, funny stuff!
Great episode! Really cool nostalgic goodness.
Its cool to finally see and hear Andrew for the first time. Looking forward to more gaming stories w/ Andrew!
Such a great episode. Johnny is at his best enthusiastically reminiscing
Now that was an excellent episode!!! Years of building Andrew up and he definitely did not disappoint. Fantastic stories guys, makes me nostalgic for my own childhood. :)
I really enjoyed this video! Wonderful stories!
What a fantastic episode! Really enjoyed hearing your stories from childhood. Andrew is very well spoken and great on camera too!
I love hearing great stories like this from fellow gamers! You always make me wish I was more into RPG's.....the last RPG I really super engrossed myself into was probably the first Suikoden.
Heh, awesome video! Can't wait for more videos with Andrew. Great to finally see him after hearing all the stories of him throughout the years.
I had a similar experience but with the Ps2, the jump from the Ps1 to the Ps2 was fenomenal. For us at least.
I was also on family vacation in Phoenix when I talked my dad into buying Final Fantasy at a local retailer. I spent the rest of the vacation poring over the manual and map... I couldn't wait to get home and play it.
I guess that rural Colorado was waaaaay behind you guys, because you're still telling the story of my damned life brother! :) Awesome channel, I'm sorry I am so late to the table . . .
It was cool hearing your old Phantasy Star stories. I actually just beat Phantasy Star II this morning. That was my first time playing a PS game so consider me a new fan, I guess. I can't wait to play the rest of them some day. Whenever I get around to buying a Master System, the first game on my wish list is the original Phantasy Star.
watching these memory videos really remind me of my childhood and it makes me want to go back to simpler times
Can't wait to see more videos to hear some of your guy's stories! Hopefully Robman can make an appearance in at least one of them!
This was such a delight! This episode was great :)
I totally agree that the manual, maps, etc that came with the games were a part of the experience. I remember getting Illusion of Gaia and just going nuts over the manual and chart it came with. So many RPGs back then had amazing art work and lore in the booklets that you just don't get anymore. Going online and reading up just isn't the same. It's one of the reasons I love the Genesis/SNES/PS1 era. Companies like Working Designs really nailed it with the packaging.
Lol I'm the same age so listening to your stories have a lot of similarities to me during the same years. I got my NES for Christmas 87, was playing Atari from 79/80 up until then, I thought I was a gamer but didn't realize just how insane I was for games until I got that NES. I never was much into Sega so to this day I have yet to play any of the Phantasy Stars, I really need to check them out soon. I tell you what though Final Fantasy & Dragon Warrior began me on the RPG's and once FFII & FFIII came out I was cemented into RPG's forever. The NES & SNES era was and will always be the best era. I look forward to many more video's, you guys tell great stories. Keep em coming.
Top vid thx as norm I've got old game mates who I still play games with for 30 years I know how ya it hits ya to meet them face to face
Video game memories are always the best memories. Its finally nice to put a face to the name johnny has referenced for quite a long time. The memories we have with video games as children for any self respecting gamer will always be some of the most important memories we'll have.
Man I remember those times when games blew my mind and I miss them. The mid to late 80's will always hold a special place in my heart. I was also blessed to be that guy who had everything first and that sort of fed my need to get everything now :)
Hehe I love hearing your Andrew stories XD and it's cool to finally see him, was wondering myself if he was ever going to make an appearance on your show
And I love hearing stories like that, brings back memories and things I remember from gaming back then..
Ahh how I miss the good old days with proper instruction manuals
Awesome video thanks for sharing.
Great show! I love it. I love it!
Absolutely great memories. Back in the mid to late eighties I mostly played on various computers as well. TI99 4/a, Atari 8-bit computer, Commodore 64, Apple IIe. Oh the memories.
Great episode guys! Love the nostalgia!
This was awesome, great episode guys
Awsome! Nice to see friends for life
I remember loving manuals a kid. I would read the story description, character bios, and just stare at the art. Getting a new game was a big deal. Like you said, it wasn't like we simply had a wall of games back then.
Different times indeed.
I love these episodes that are old stories. They make me remember the 80s and early 90s.
Loved watching this one! :)
One of my fav videos of yours. Andrew is great on the show!
This was great!! Can't believe we finally got to meet him lol!
Amazing. Finally! What an episode.
Great stories and great episode.
Hope you do more of these episodes! Good stuff! :-)
It's so true about manuals, they're actually one of my favorite things to collect for now for gen 2 and 3 games.
Okay, Johnny has stepped up his game big time the last few months!
I loved this episode!
The first thing my mom unpacked in 1987 was me from her womb in july of 87 so i missed a couple years of gaming but i bought them awhile back so my collection is pretty big!
Wow I never expected this
