This is the first video I’ve watched in this subject and I’ll think I’ll quit while I’m ahead. Absolutely brilliant stuff, well put together, thoughtful, shows gameplay and no sob stories in sight. Awesome stuff, subscribed!!
Yeah, this video is (obviously) a pisstake in general but especially with the continuing news of stuff getting delisted, sometimes permanently, emulation is the only reason we can play some things.
The tongue being firmly in cheek here was absolutely exquisite! Haha I've honestly missed all the hot air about TH-camrs making fuss over nothing but I think I get it now 😂
This was definitely brilliant. First vid of yours I’ve seen. Pulls out my TheC64, loads up a 40 year old game. Plugs in a modern USB SNES controller, and enjoys retro gaming bliss with all of the ambiance and none of the issues…all while snubbing my nose at anyone who complains otherwise. After playing that 40 year old Commodore game, I’ll load up a brand new one released this year because the Commodore 64 seems to never stop having brilliant games released for it!
Yeah, obviously I'm (mostly) joking in parts of this video, the time has passed now but it was a reaction to a massive pile of people posting earnest "The problem with the community" or whatever absolute bullcrap. Mostly their problem tended to be "Women exist" or "People who sell things like to get paid for them". But since you're new I'll point out I 100% agree with you, I constantly say there is no bad way to play games. I used a crappy emulation device when I was on RMC, I have an FPGA Master System in arms reach and I can see a real one from here. Using platform to gatekeep how someone plays Sonic is mad. If what you got is a TheC64, play some California Games and have fun!
@@Yesterzine Yeah I was being a bit snarky in my wording. TheC64 Maxi is great. I had all the real systems back in the 80s and 90s. Atari 800/XL/XE, TI-99/4A, Apple II, Apple IIgs, Commodore 64, Original Macintosh, Genuine IBM PC, Amiga 1000 and 500, Sega Genesis, Atari 1040ST, TRS-80. The secret was, I bought them all second hand after people “upgraded”. I was vintage computing and gaming before it was even a thing. Sadly never had a Speccy…they didn’t make it big this side of the pond. You know what’s really mad, I have a Nintendo Switch with 60+ games on it and it’s sat in the closet for 2 years unplayed. The Commodore and the GameBoy Colour are just much more fun and don’t require any updates, internet, agreements, load times, downloads, uploads, personal information, recharging, controller madness or any other nonsense 😁😁. Keep on going, love your snarky wit. Subscribed!!
I had a wonderful translucent blue PS2 controller back in the day...and my friend managed to drop it down the loft ladder. Had to make do with a third-party job for ages after that, which was NOT fun...although somehow it did manage to last me a good few years!
I'd like to think that there were a few people who had the foresight to purchase a few copies of some games back when they were new, to deal with this eventuality.
There is something to be said for Chinese multi carts/everdrives to increase the library of games available on your original hardware. If only to play those expensive games, gaming for the games and not a ridiculously over priced market.
I laughed, I smiled, I nodded and I thought to myself how happy I was to have no frame of reference to the people at the start whom I can only assume are wrong 'uns.
Yeah it happens even if you play all the time. There are certainly multiple times of me sat there with a game boy playing Kirby's Pinball Land while some modern epic slowly downloads 16gb of corridor texture updates.
Good problem analysis.😸👍🎶 Digital-Only releases have their pro and cons. But it is only a phase because: Human Evolution --》New interests --》New "Things we want" --》People say "We want to touch our objects of interests." --》Gaming Industry adapts its output --》They release a physical edition's game --》It is a good game and people are buying it. --》Someone says: "How do we preserve this masterpiece?" --》Digital Release after 6 years --》People are happy and Gaming Industry earns XP points for new wonderful games. --》Human Evolution. And the cycle is endless. Now, Gaming Companies aren't Divine Creatures. That is because: They don't listen consumers' interests --》People lose interests in "Gaming Hobby." --》Gaming Companies' workers lose their jobs. --》End of the Gaming Companies. They exist because there are people behind them; there aren't "Digital-Only Release" Humans or substitutes of Humans. Physical media is always existing in the future.
The games were better in every conceivable way outside of graphical fidelity, retro gaming is and always will be just fine. Especially with the modders/jailbreakers.
Can we talk about the community just buying games and not playing it’s so many retro games that probably never played any of the games they just got it for aesthetics destiny Famo I don’t have no confirm fax but I’m pretty sure she don’t play them games
Games today lack depth unless its a shitty impossible boss figtht but games like desert storm that sound of a nearby battle tank moving around and checking if you have a anti tank or 3 rpgs or c4 and smoke grenades and shitting you're self because your squad has none and no med paks to heal on hard mode yes and no ammo because you can hear enemies nearby
For a start that fake sega snes pad is rubbish - I bet the dpad jiggles when you shake it. Best go sell it to cex to pay for your drug habit because you aren't a real gamerTM. I mean. I approve. 8/10
What i have a problem with is when people buy brand new switch games when they go on sale ,then trade in ten games so they can buy one busted up twenty year old ps2 game . Claiming that they got such a good deal just to get views, when if fact they got fisted by the retro game store 😂
It's a damn good point, good enough I have to stop being sarcastic. With the right controller a modern retro game is bloody great. And of course most new games FOR things like the Master System work on emulators.
The retro game content is oversaturated on TH-cam , they go into a video game store with their smart phone , and record all the prices of all the games , publish misinformation and mislead all their viewers. After doing commentary and uploading it to TH-cam ,thinking that's what the viewers want .People who were born after 1984 ,have already played all the 8-bit and 16-bit systems ,it's getting boring and repeative .
With love to the people I know who do them, I do not "get" pickup videos. That said, I owned a Spectrum back in the day and the likes of RTS are constantly making videos on games I never heard of much less played. It is why I take a different angle though, assuming you've seen anything else on the channel it's based around the contemporary view of games from the magazines of the time which gives me a lot of freedom that "I picked up this copy of Road Rash in CeX" does not.
@@Yesterzine if you type in retro gaming in the TH-cam search, you are bombarded with retro collector's, game flippers and video game resellers, and Scalpers. These people don't even play their games, they buy them to put on the shelf. They are using video games as an investment. Hoping one day their collection will be worth something. What I've learned over the years is technology replaces technology, Dvd, replaced vhs, blu ray replaced dvd, and 4k blu ray replaced blue ray and HD dvd. If they wait too long their collections will be worthless. Soon all these disc based consoles will be phased out,and replaced with digital consoles making psysical games irrelevant.
Yeah I find new things through recommendations these days. I think physical games are already irrelevant sadly. Even with the PS5/XBS/Switch half the time the game isn't actually on the media anyway or is unplayable without that 60gb patch. And there's a special place in hell reserved for the inventor of "Code in a box".
Oh I'd say multiple of these apply to the computers. The video leads and them dying on you for a start. And there were certainly enough shit joysticks for the 8 and 16s.
@@Yesterzine Of course not. PII-PIII era parts are dirt cheap with the exception of a few things (like Voodoo cards, but you can find alternatives for peas, or even for free), and readily available. There's also DOSBox. Nothing is easier, than retrogaming on a computer tbh.
This is the first video I’ve watched in this subject and I’ll think I’ll quit while I’m ahead. Absolutely brilliant stuff, well put together, thoughtful, shows gameplay and no sob stories in sight. Awesome stuff, subscribed!!
It's certainly the only one I'm going to watch.
Very good points delivered in a "not so serious" way. Wonderfully made!
I'd thank you but I'm halfway through this licence agreement and I don't want to break my flow.
i am glad people who love retro gaming exist and make it accessible when companies won't
Yeah, this video is (obviously) a pisstake in general but especially with the continuing news of stuff getting delisted, sometimes permanently, emulation is the only reason we can play some things.
I play modern games so infrequently that I spend more times updating them than playing. Then I've run out to time to play.
I play them all the time but crap internet and the fact "Auto update" never works means all too often that's me as well.
The tongue being firmly in cheek here was absolutely exquisite! Haha I've honestly missed all the hot air about TH-camrs making fuss over nothing but I think I get it now 😂
I'll have you know this is a 100% serious video in which I mean every single word. Especially the 4 letter ones!
Brilliant stuff. Great to see the few steps modern games require to play, such a breeze
It's so seamless!
Amazing :) This deserves to be shared and watch everywhere!
They mildly annoyed me Sarah and this will not stand!
Well that was a joy from start to end!
I think the secret is never stop talking.
This was definitely brilliant. First vid of yours I’ve seen. Pulls out my TheC64, loads up a 40 year old game.

Very well done. And come on, you can get past that first level in BTTF3. I believe in you!
It never ends! You're all lying to me!
I had a wonderful translucent blue PS2 controller back in the day...and my friend managed to drop it down the loft ladder. Had to make do with a third-party job for ages after that, which was NOT fun...although somehow it did manage to last me a good few years!
Controllers I never touch because they're awful last a surprisingly long time I find.
Thank you RetroArch for removing all the problems!
Well, unless you bought one of those 2 dollar aliexpress controllers to use with it.
Brilliant little video mate and I particularly liked the bit with helicopter lol. Great message you're sending a cross as well 👍
That was from when I played Far Cry 6 on launch, the standing there incredulous as it rolls down the hill is entirely real :D
Helikopter Helikopter!
@@Yesterzine 🤣🤣🤣👌
I can't remember enjoying a video as much as this! thanks!
Note to self : Write all videos when you get mildly irritated by 3 video thumbnails somewhere around Sunday lunchtime.
Funny that one of the “complainers” you showed is Lady Decade, considered to be an actual problem in retro, along with Top Hat. Oh, the irony.
Yes, lucky coincidence that.
This is pure gold! Bravo! Thank you for this!
I'm a little worried it has more views than literally any Yesterzine proper inside 24 hours.
@@Yesterzine The magic of a trendy thumbnail? I get it, though - it's frustrating.
I chuckled many times to this, and its nice to encounter another member of the cant fix broken old stuff club
I broke an xbox one trying to fit a modchip and learned my lesson.
@@Yesterzine I feel you! I never recovered from bricking a motherboard after attempting a BIOS update in the late 90s
Very well done and exactly the right points to make!
I was cross :P
I'd like to think that there were a few people who had the foresight to purchase a few copies of some games back when they were new, to deal with this eventuality.
I've got some duplicates but mostly via luck.
There is something to be said for Chinese multi carts/everdrives to increase the library of games available on your original hardware.
If only to play those expensive games, gaming for the games and not a ridiculously over priced market.
Yep, and of course to play homebrew on real or real adjacent hardware.
Love this!
Thanks Dan :) I should write all videos in one hour long stream of being irritated clearly.
Very funny video. Loved the jab at the 360 D-Pad 😅
I'm glad someone got that. Awful thing.
After the sponsored content creators retro game division gained up to scold at me again for playing retro games, I really needed this video.
Stop having fun wrong!
I'll never scold you. I'll tickle your belly and tell you it's alright
I laughed, I smiled, I nodded and I thought to myself how happy I was to have no frame of reference to the people at the start whom I can only assume are wrong 'uns.
I genuinely don't know who 2 of them are tbh, but I'm told the videos are exactly the same as the one I *do* know about.
Reason I don’t play modern is as my 30-60 mins spare would be 10mins of game time after updates 😂
Yeah it happens even if you play all the time. There are certainly multiple times of me sat there with a game boy playing Kirby's Pinball Land while some modern epic slowly downloads 16gb of corridor texture updates.
Good stuff, Dudley! 😄
Thanks Cogs :)
That first two minutes was freakin hilarious lolololol
Ah the 2 minutes when I was MOST CROSS. :D
Ffs - cutscenes and cables - don't get me started! 🤣
On the plus side, the cutscene gave me the time to find the scart cable!
Good problem analysis.😸👍🎶

Its sad how some of these companies sell games at high prices and they give you third party controllers that dont even work.
You mean with the machines? Yeah, sometimes you get the MadCatz...
Honestly this is genius.
It's something certainly.
One of the best vids I have seen in a long time had to sub and look forward to more
Cannot promise this level of righteous anger all the time I'm afraid but welcome aboard!
I checked out your vid with stunt car racer as well love that you reviewed the reviews
This can’t be genuine without the requisite thumbnail
It's got a sad face and bold text, what more do you want!
Retro gaming was like chaa and i was like waa? Now i own a timeshare
A tale as old as time.
Ah I remember the days of third-party mega drive controllers!
That, amazingly, is actually a SNES controller in the video as well. I assume they wanted to sell to converts.
The biggest problem was covered at the beginning..
It's "retro gamers" themselves. Well a large group of them anyway.
Yeah, the rest of the video is basically a device to say that.
Well that and I really liked the "Installing a modern game" rant.
Everything you said was a 100% correct, Oh the joys of gaming
Even the aspect ratio bit? :D
The games were better in every conceivable way outside of graphical fidelity, retro gaming is and always will be just fine. Especially with the modders/jailbreakers.
I always think games are just games :) Well when I'm not making surprising long lived shitpost videos.
Brilliant! Thank you! 😊 👏
Always good to have a rant from time to time!
DooM is still fun. Mario. Shmups.
Everything is terrible.

I'm not sure I've ever known a boss fight make a game better.
Remember when you got 2 controllers when you bought a new console....... at least you get an HDMI cable these days - yes another one!!
Now you get 2 controllers with a system because they won't sell it to you without a forced bundle! The consumer wins again!
Ha! Loved it. I think you nailed it!
Real And Serious Problems!
Finally...a problem with Retro Gaming video that get's it all 100%, full guarantee, no-mistake right.
A million monkeys reviewing a million copies of Sonic and Knuckles would get there eventually.
For a start that fake sega snes pad is rubbish - I bet the dpad jiggles when you shake it.
Best go sell it to cex to pay for your drug habit because you aren't a real gamerTM.
I mean. I approve. 8/10
More than 73% so legally I cannot get upset with you.
Which is good because most of me jiggles when you shake it.
@@Yesterzine I'll jiggle your shakes in a minute!
Excellent, no need to watch those other people’s vids now 😊
I'm certainly not going to.
Jon Tron rip off
Wut?
now that is good
I hacked the video right off his PC you know.
Ha! Great stuff 😅
Thanks chap :)

These are great (but also boo). I too have not watched any of those other videos.
I wouldn't. I'd watch this one another 3 times instead.
I think these are the problems with retro !!!!!
I hope so because I'm not making this again.
Chef’s kiss
Assuming that's aimed at me and isn't an involuntary facial tic, thank you!
The reality is cruel : modern retro-inspired games are simply better.
*Laughs in Gravitar*
It's a damn good point, good enough I have to stop being sarcastic. With the right controller a modern retro game is bloody great.
And of course most new games FOR things like the Master System work on emulators.

But there weren't even any puns! Or at least I don't think so. One probably sneaked in.

Broadly speaking my friend, the problem is I get mildly annoyed and then spend the next 8 hours putting together a video about it.
Good game controller 😂😂
Exact real size.
