I live in the same area you hit. I never knew? I have a Star Wars edition 360 it makes R2-D2 sound when it comes on it is the color of R2-D2 the controller is C-3PO color
Use 91% alcohol to clean the games put it on the paper towel it evaporates right away after you use it and it works great for cleaning Sega Genesis games when they don't work
Would take me 2 years at every goodwill in my area going daily to find that much value. I'll never understand why some areas send their games/valuable goods to the online store immediately and some don't.
All I ever find is fifa ( I live in the uk btw). Probably because I don’t go nearly as often as I should do if I want good stuff. It’s probably taken by people not as lazy as me
Some additional Cleaning Tips I’ve leaned over the last 8 years: - Plastic razor blade tool from Amazon to remove stickers from cartridge...best thing ever - Goof Off from Home Depot will remove sticker residue and permanent marker and isn’t greasy (90%+ iso alcohol works well too) - Hair dryer on hot back and forth over stickers for minute or two to loosen the glue and remove stickers from labels without damaging them. This is where that plastic razor blade comes in handy as well once the sticker glue is loose. Label could come loose as well, but it will stick back down.
Man I was so happy for you when I saw No More Heroes 2, I found that a few months ago with Metroid Trilogy, that’s what for me hooked on game hunting. I also love finding plastic wrapped ones, just recently found the simpsons DS game sealed and a sealed PS2 Star Trek game.
Man, I wish our goodwills in Tucson had half of the stuff you find! Good finds my friend! I had a karate tiger game and the baseball and football ones. Not very good, but as a 10 year old at the time, I loved them.
I just wanted to say thank you! I love watching your videos every week and I have been a fan since January of 2020 lol I know I’m still new to your channel.
I think it’s funny you bought Travis Strikes Back on Switch episodes ago and then get No More Heroes 2 and have no idea they’re the same series lol. It’s newer though so easy to probably miss! Great video and mega finds!
ive been binging your videos the last couple days lol. kinda makes me sad that we lost all my childhood toys, but also makes me excited to try and find some of it again.
For me when i go to that type of stores i always check the disc Condition before i buy it. if its just little finger prints then that's easy to clean. if its scratches then its no go. That's what i do when use to buy me ps3 games at Gamestop until they stop carrying them.
I had the Ninja Gaiden Tiger handheld game. It spoke to you at the beginning: "You are entering the world of chaos, the end of your life draws near, hahahaha!"
Just found your channel and this video is blowing my mind. I seen the Mario Party 8 each time you dropped a game in your stack and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for you to get it. Then you do and the thing is SEALED!!!!!! WOW
Man, definitely jealous. All the goodwills around here send anything that's not sports-related to some seedy online auction site, great to see some goodwills are still putting this stuff out!
I had a whole box full of tiger handhelds when I was little I don't remember ever playing them for more than a couple minutes at a time. Once I got a game boy forget about it those tiger handhelds never saw the light of day again
Hey Retro Rick, you and other TH-camrs have inspired me to start a game collection of my own. Sure you may have seen a comment similar before, but I realized the fun of collecting games, and how cheap you can purchase games for!
You guys jammy that you got all this at a charity shop here in the UK we have: someone's Grammy dies so they drop of her musty clothes, a VHS copy of spice world cds of Michael flatleys River dance and tonnes of pottery ornaments that died of death in 80s!
The Tiger I remember growing up with I don't recall the name but it was based around ninjas. Lots of fun playing the with an old neighborhood friend of mine. Loved the Home Improvement, Goosebumps, and TNG board games. And always have to get Jaws.
Rick, living under a rock: "So I almost passed on this weird game I've never heard of called No More Heroes-" My dude, my guy, No More Heroes is practically a flagship franchise at this point. XD
Brutal Legend is for sure worth playing. Such a fun game, especially if you are into heavy metal music. All Star cast starring Ozzy Osbourne and Jack Black.
Rick! I have the same color Nintendo switch! I was so happy to get my Nintendo switch lite back in the summer of 2020 because of the pandemic!Every one was buying a Nintendo switch console.
Lucky. Yesterday, I walked into a Goodwill and asked one of the employees if they had any games in stock, he immediately said to go look online. He pretty much confirmed that any video games they get go straight to the online auction market and that's a nationwide policy, so I don't know how the one you went to actually has them stocked on shelves.
One handheld game I remember getting for Christmas in 1998 was The Lion King II: Simba's Pride Talking Electronic LCD Game. I still remember the background music that thing used to play. One day, I hope to find that game at a thrift store so I can play it again.
That Mario Party 8 is sweet! I found a sealed Hit and Run for the gamecube and Jak 3 for PS2 about a month ago and it was amazing! Sealed games are always cool to find.
No more heros is a really fun kinda hack and slash crude humor kinda game nd has an amazing story. It was made and wasn’t an immediate success but got a colt following recently. Great finds!
Glad to see you had company on your shopping trip....maybe he was a good luck charm! Sadly, while I grew up in the Tiger handheld era....never had any of them. Played a few of my friends', but none for me!
I never have a tiger handheld growing up, honestly I'm glad because I do not need another thing to collect. Lol! Btw super jealous that you found no more Hero 2! That game is hard to get ahold of with the case and I want it so badly.
@@retrorick Cool, so are you going for any other complete sets for any consoles? cause i know you have all the n64 games. right now im trying to get all of the ps2 greatest hits titles, if you have any on your ebay account please send me the link. :) keep the good work on your videos.
Wouldn't it be easier to order the 3.8mm and the 4.5mm security bits so that you can open the systems and carts and give them a proper cleaning? As for the N64 system you cleaned, you may have removed a lot of the gunk from the outside, but you could still see a ton of gunk and corrosion through the ventilation holes right below the cart slot. Also, keep in mind that the stickers on the game cases lowers the resale value. I know that you are trying to build up your funds, but I do recommend getting Goo Gone. It will remove the stickers from the game cases flawlessly and it has a citrus smell to it. Remember, you have to spend $$ to make $$.
I miss the Back To The Future ride. I was so sad when they got rid of it at Universal... When I was a kid, I remember having Tiger Electronic Football, Double Dragon, and Simon's Quest. They were the best we could do until we could finally get a Gameboy. It's always so awesome finding sealed games at the thrift, especially MARIO PARTY!!! No More Heros was another awesome one. Don't sleep on that Lego Star Wars Complete Saga on 360, I think GameStop is giving like $8 in trade for it currently. That last Goodwill was epic!!! Hope you had a good holiday bro.
That Universal Studios VHS is a cool find. We have one--not sure if the same one--but they're great pieces of history. Especially since, sadly, so many of the rides are now gone... Always nice to add some LEGO games to the collection. They're fantastic couch co-op playthroughs. Love me some Ratchet & Clank! If time permits, you should give No More Heroes a shot. They're pretty neat and fairly unique games.
When I saw No more hero’s 2 on the shelf I was like please get that game it’s worth 50 all day lol. Make sure u try it!! It’s a very good game so is the first one!! Very fun!!
Your pretty lucky with the finds! Up here in Canada lots of dealers are about looking for stuff. It's almost always a race and the thrift stores here have mostly caught on and look up the games then sell them for retail/ebay prices. Ugh.
I live in the u.k I love going to charity shops and love finding game bargains.. our lockdown ends today so I'll be going down tomorrow staight after work
I did the same thing about a week or so ago. Found a bunch of Xbox 360 games $2 each. Most weren't worth a lot, but they looked like someone's collection and were very clean. Ended up grabbing about 33 games. While digging through them there were several sports games. Most I left except one... a complete NCAA Football '14! Sold it within 24 hours for $120. Paid for the entire collection and still had money left over.
Rick, Brutal Legend is a must play. Jack Black does amazing as the main character, the music is Absolutely Awesome. Ozzy n Lemmy kilmister Motörhead are in it. Fun game . No heroes 2 is a hard to find game. Excellent score for sure excellent series.
Your choices of items to sell are very different than mine! I've been working this formula for about 15 years now and I'm at a point where I can sell dupes only and I'm good to go. BUT if that was me managing that pile you have, the remote, Buzzlightyear, that retron thing and the extra Kiwi Game Boy would be gone before Twilight Princess and that CIB King's Quest! But I've also gotten very fast to list things: I come home from hunting and immediately process everything: one pile to keep, one to sell. I clean then take pictures of everything while I'm already manipulating them. Then wait for the kids to go to sleep later in the evening, open a cold can of beer and list everyting while watching some TH-cam stuff! No death pile of stuff to list!

Awesome to see a farming game about time ❤
“He has way too many toys.”
As Rick grabs more games and frogger. 😂
100% My Thought lol
yep, my jaw dropped too
I live vicariously through Rick because all I ever find is Madden 06 for PS2 lol
Bahahaha
More then what I find at Goodwills lol
hahaha im glad im good for something
...or that dang Mary Kate and Ashley game for the Nintendo DS! I'll catch a glimpse of a complete DS game but it seems like it's always THAT one! ;)
All I ever find is fifa ( I live in the uk btw). Probably because I don’t go nearly as often as I should do if I want good stuff. It’s probably taken by people not as lazy as me
"Switch Heavy"😂😂...Love it.
shes hilarious
I don’t think this series will ever get old
This is now 2 years old 😏
I see Retro Rick, I click
👍🏽
Yup
Lol
haha thanks for watching Kevin!
@@MovieGuy0896 You my guy, movie guy
You will need to make a top ten great finds from this series as a recap. Great finds👍
Another solid video, Rick. Appreciate the grind you're on ... sorry you're inspiring so many of us to get out there and gobble up the games ourselves!

I need Mario Party 8 for my collection Nice Sealed Score
im hoping to make a decent profit on it when it sells on ebay!
@@retrorick yeah it should be a decent profit I need a complete copy of 8 I have 9 missing the manual and 10
@@rickeyrankin8457 I got a complete copy from my freind but I forgot to check the disc condition and its scratched af (but it still runs)
(Complete copy of 8)

FFX was one of my favorite game. Such a great storyline.
it really is so good!
Just found your channel and this video is blowing my mind. I seen the Mario Party 8 each time you dropped a game in your stack and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for you to get it. Then you do and the thing is SEALED!!!!!! WOW
Haha I felt the same way! Thanks for watching my friend
Man, definitely jealous. All the goodwills around here send anything that's not sports-related to some seedy online auction site, great to see some goodwills are still putting this stuff out!

The universal VHS is a hell of a find. So jealous. I hope you got it.
SO CUTE!! Oh hey, you brought a kid too!
Wow nice haul Rick, I can't believe how much some of those games are worth😍😮
Hey Retro Rick, you and other TH-camrs have inspired me to start a game collection of my own. Sure you may have seen a comment similar before, but I realized the fun of collecting games, and how cheap you can purchase games for!
The sealed Shawn White is actually from a Best Buy, that is the price tag they add to their 'Bargain Bin' games.
Thanks for sharing that! I thought it looked new and that label looked vaguely familiar...
That E.T. figure was actually the first doll my baby got. She loved it and carried it everywhere.
The only Tiger handheld I can remember having was the Batman Forever one
I had that one to
nice...i picked up a Batman one recently
Nice I actually just found one at a thrift store for $1.99
I had a street fighter one. So horrible 😆
I still can’t believe that goodwills are still out there pricing games at 2 bucks a piece. Great haul man!!!!
You guys jammy that you got all this at a charity shop here in the UK we have: someone's Grammy dies so they drop of her musty clothes, a VHS copy of spice world cds of Michael flatleys River dance and tonnes of pottery ornaments that died of death in 80s!
games at my local goodwill are 5 dollars, unfortunately
The Tiger I remember growing up with I don't recall the name but it was based around ninjas. Lots of fun playing the with an old neighborhood friend of mine.
Loved the Home Improvement, Goosebumps, and TNG board games. And always have to get Jaws.
I had that Home Improvement board game back in the days. It was a lot of fun. Brings back memories!
You got to try no more heros 2 it's really fun you'll be surprised by it Rick and brutal legend has Jack Black in it and it's pretty fun as well
ill give them a try...thanks for the recommendation!
@@retrorick never played brutal legend.... it's like tenacious D bottled up in a game
Dam it I want that Spider-Man 3!
Rick, living under a rock: "So I almost passed on this weird game I've never heard of called No More Heroes-"
My dude, my guy, No More Heroes is practically a flagship franchise at this point. XD
OMG I had that goosebumps board game as a kid! I'm going to have to look into getting it again! Haha love nostalgia
-Zach
I had a couple of Tiger Handhelds as a kid but the one I remember the most is Tiny Toons.
Brutal Legend is for sure worth playing. Such a fun game, especially if you are into heavy metal music. All Star cast starring Ozzy Osbourne and Jack Black.
What a haul! Anything sealed is exciting. Awesome job with the vid! 👍
Amazing Goodwill finds.
No one:
Me: *picks trough every game to find childhood ones*
you´re such a wholesome guy man I love your videos
Nice haul Rick. Congrats
Thanks for watching Rusty!
lol ! That home improvement!! Sometimes I don’t know why I “need” certain things I just do!!
I had two growing up. Marc and Ivan Stewart Off-road. Both were surprisingly fun.
Rick! I have the same color Nintendo switch! I was so happy to get my Nintendo switch lite back in the summer of 2020 because of the pandemic!Every one was buying a Nintendo switch console.
I remember having a Star Wars Tiger handheld growing up. Tiger handhelds were a lot of fun back in the day.
Your channel inspired me to pick up games where I left off. So I bought myself a wii and a 3ds. Thank you for the inspiration!

Brutal Legends is a fun game. It has the voice of Jack Black and the soundtrack is metal.
oh wow..thanks for the info!
lot of metal artist cameos as well
I had the Lion King handheld. My sister had the Little Mermaid one. So fun. Might need to check my parents attic for them at Christmas.. lol
Tiger handhelds were perfect Frisbee's to fly across the room and watch BANG! against the wall
That’s insane finding a sealed Mario Party game and for $2! Crazy. I unfortunately never had any tiger handhelds growing up :/ awesome video
I literally went through and like all your videos
I never have a tiger handheld growing up, honestly I'm glad because I do not need another thing to collect. Lol! Btw super jealous that you found no more Hero 2! That game is hard to get ahold of with the case and I want it so badly.
That kind of score puts the Good in Goodwill
When you try to buy a Home Improvement board game but the cashier says "I Don't think so, Tim."
never had a tiger, but I do remember playing a wheel of fortune tiger game at a barber shop.
ha i feel like i still see those all the time at goodwills
@@retrorick Cool, so are you going for any other complete sets for any consoles? cause i know you have all the n64 games. right now im trying to get all of the ps2 greatest hits titles, if you have any on your ebay account please send me the link. :) keep the good work on your videos.
My find this week, was a copy of "The Wizard" on VHS. Be on the Lookout!
That's a badass movie

That frogger game! ow yeah and I use the same tactic :'D let my kid play till she doesn't feel the need to wanna take it home
Hahaha it’s really a great approach
Rick brutal legends is a total hidden gem. If you like tenacious d you'll love brutal legends. And it has an insane soundtrack.
Yes! Brutal Legend is Awesome! Main character is voice by Jack Black, it's a great homage to Rock n Roll. Very underrated game.
The only handhelds like that that I had an history with were the happy meal McDonalds sonic games lol
oh yeah..i forgot about those!

Man those Sierra quest games were the best, police quest being my fav
Oh Brutal Legend is so much fun, you have to try it! The intro alone is worth it!
damn the mario party sealed! thats insane my dude.
wow so many awesome games, congrats
I watch these videos and get super excited then I go to my thrift store and they have like 2 games and they’re usually garbage anyway
Both no more heroes and Mario party were amazing pickups can’t believe you found those!

Your choices of items to sell are very different than mine! I've been working this formula for about 15 years now and I'm at a point where I can sell dupes only and I'm good to go. BUT if that was me managing that pile you have, the remote, Buzzlightyear, that retron thing and the extra Kiwi Game Boy would be gone before Twilight Princess and that CIB King's Quest! But I've also gotten very fast to list things: I come home from hunting and immediately process everything: one pile to keep, one to sell.

The only Tiger handheld I had growing up was Power Rangers and I loved it. Still have it in my collection
Cool. I found Cujo, Cat’s Eye’s, & Fire Starter in the past couple weeks. I’m gonna have to add them my collection.
Tiger electronics - the best handheld we owned in the 90’s. Wild West Showdown! I feel bad for how many batteries we killed on that game.
You have to try out No More Heroes. It’s probably my favorite series on the Wii. It has great humor and doesn’t take itself seriously at all.
