If you're ever looking to revive NES games that don't work, you should be opening the cartridge. Using Brite Boy is fine, but you should clean it off after applying it, which you can't do properly unless your working just with the board. Also, 99% of the time, a white eraser on the pins (after opening the cartridge) is all you need to get a game working again.
Good luck Michael! It had been a while since this channel had a new video, so I was a bit worried. Happy to hear it will continue because I really enjoy seeing the video game store stuff!
very happy for Rick getting the game store but also sad that we sort of lost him on here, I miss the video content he was putting out on the main channel
I would open the cartridges ..I'm sure more can be repaired by internal cleaning(trace repair) and/or soldering with the help of a digital microscope. I do want to add that Im totally glad for your store. This hearkens to my youth going to game stores and the thrill of it all. Some suggestions: if I were y'all, I would get more into anime.. There still is a considerable market in anime. And a slushie machine would be cool. Also have y'all considered opening an arcade business? Combining your store and an arcade would be awesome.
Great as always Retro Rick. Always a good time tuning in to see what comes into the store. You never skip a beat. Looking forward to see how the new episodes look.
Yeah and he was totally Dissing riff by the stuff he was saying “having the right person” “take it to the next level” Rick sounds like a bratty teenager who’s mad at his friend and dissing him without actually dissing him. Something’s going on.
@@tittfestx3 actually I don’t think anything is wrong, but to build engagement on this video since he hasn’t posted in ages he purposely left out the information so people ask… smart
Root Beer simplified can fall into these two potential categories: *Sweet And *Rich For a “Sweet” kind of Root Beer, I go Barqs, for a “Rich” Root Beer I go IBC, and Mug is the good in-between! As far as the channel goes, TH-cam is so dang tough, and people often also judge saying “Get a real job!” I’ve done most kinds of labor, making signs, food delivery/industry, data entry, sales & marketing, grounds work, on and on, but NEVER have I worked as hard at any other job than running two successful TH-cam channels… it is insane & anything can change at any second. But as far as this channel goes, I sorta fell in love with Retro Rick being the personality behind such interesting content as the incredible game store… I’ll give it a chance, but I’m definitely shaky without Rick being at the helm of on-camera personality. Thanks so much for sharing all of this adventure!
Those cartridge games will likely do work just have trace damage that can easily be fixed. So don't give up on them yet. Also is it possible to get the bell active here since I lose track of when new editions drop?
Damn idk Rick … idk whatever happend to you & riff but just know we are going to miss riff edits but good luck 🍀🙏🏻 been a subscriber since day1 I’m always keep supporting this channel
Dads root beer has always been my favorite. Have a lot of memories with my grandpa while drinking one. The blue label and yellow lettering is what I always remember!
I like Barqs root beer 🍺 But then again, I think I’ve only tried like 4 different brands of root beer.. I’ve only had Barqs, MUG, A&W, and Stewart’s… all of the mainstream ones. As a kid/teen I recall having MUG root beer (with the bull dog on the can) in the fridge often. Also, Barqs, which I always found to be the most unique and refreshing. Love the taste of it! I haven’t had root beer in years though for some reason lol. Now I’m in the mood.. def gonna buy some and take a trip down memory lane. I drink wayyy too much soda though to be honest.. and my drug of choice is pepsi, not coke. It seems most people prefer coke, but I’ve always loved Pepsi wayyy more.. only time coke is on par with Pepsi is when it’s fountain coke, like at restaurants and fast food joints. I know that’s probably an unpopular opinion but fu€k it. Anyway, that concludes my essay on my love for sody pop. P.S. I hope everything is cool with Riff. He seems like a hell of a guy, and so do you Rick.. so I hope this new change in editor is just a mutual business decision and nothing personal. I’d hate to see it. I’m sure it’s nothing like that though.. it’s just been put in my head by reading comments of people speculating and making assumptions lol
If the labels and shells are in good enough condition I'd still keep the non working games especially if they are valuable because you never know when you'll have a working motherboard come in but the label and shell are trashed.
Glad you are getting some help with the channels. Love the content! Are you going to really rad weekend later this year? Got my tickets and room booked!
Michael dont screw it up! 😂

@4:48 took me down a nostalgia trip...lol. That is, I think, Johnny B Badd

Send those non working games to John Riggs for some "Open Cart Surgery".
Michael don’t screw the channel up
Seriously can’t wait to see how the channel evolves and hopefully grows bigger
Michael don't screw it up! Hahaha
Riff is funny, sad to lose him. Hopefully Michael does a good job.
So Riff is out?
@@JasonKnightWV Yes
Michael, you're gonna crush it! Good luck and we're excited to see what comes of the channels!

"Mike Tyson" is actually Johnny B. Badd
Was starting to think this channel was no more! Super excited for the future!! Keep it up!
Great as always Retro Rick. Always a good time tuning in to see what comes into the store. You never skip a beat. Looking forward to see how the new episodes look.
when the statue repair guy started talking, I felt safer
Mummys alive! have not thought about that show since the 90's pure hit of nestalga! :D
I wish we had a good retro shop like this in Colorado springs
Was this filmed in January? You referenced getting back to normal after Christmas sales...
Yeah dude, you can’t drop that news and not mention Riff.
Exciting stuff man! Love seeing some stuff taken out of your plate Rick. Excited to see what Michael will do!
So does this mean Michael is just managing the TH-cam pages and riff will still be the editor or is riff not doing the editing anymore?
With not mention of Riff at all one can assume they are not working together no more
Yeah and he was totally Dissing riff by the stuff he was saying “having the right person” “take it to the next level” Rick sounds like a bratty teenager who’s mad at his friend and dissing him without actually dissing him. Something’s going on.
@@tittfestx3 actually I don’t think anything is wrong, but to build engagement on this video since he hasn’t posted in ages he purposely left out the information so people ask… smart
I don’t believe riff edited these videos only for the main channel
Stewart's root beer is my favorite mass produced would be A&W.
I’m digging Dave’s theme song from maniac mansion in the background
Root Beer simplified can fall into these two potential categories:
*Sweet
And
*Rich
For a “Sweet” kind of Root Beer, I go Barqs, for a “Rich” Root Beer I go IBC, and Mug is the good in-between!
As far as the channel goes, TH-cam is so dang tough, and people often also judge saying “Get a real job!” I’ve done most kinds of labor, making signs, food delivery/industry, data entry, sales & marketing, grounds work, on and on, but NEVER have I worked as hard at any other job than running two successful TH-cam channels… it is insane & anything can change at any second.

**inserts picture of his own Wild Bill’s $35 refillable mug**
I like bargs root beer because bart was on the can when I was younger 😆
Dad’s Root Beer reference further proves that Rick is from Arkansas.
You need some IBC Cream Soda in that case.
you should keep all those defective NES cartridges and make some kind shop sign with them
It's never long enough rick!
3:22 editor Micheal puth that on the screen 😆
The root beer tier is as follows:
Pizza Root Beer - Mug
Root Beer Float Root Beer - A&W
Baseball Root Beer - IBC
Those cartridge games will likely do work just have trace damage that can easily be fixed. So don't give up on them yet. Also is it possible to get the bell active here since I lose track of when new editions drop?
Mummies alive!! Love'd that show.
I bet John Riggs could get another 8-10 of those working!
I think you are going to see a big spike in popularity with a professional editor like Michael taking the reins
The WWF figures is big business
I'm a huge disc golf fan. Once you start playing you just get hooked! Good luck with the channel and on the course!
Missed the video! Love the store content
Damn idk Rick … idk whatever happend to you & riff but just know we are going to miss riff edits but good luck 🍀🙏🏻 been a subscriber since day1 I’m always keep supporting this channel
Can’t wait to see more game store content!
I'm drinking from a wild bills mug right now lol
Michael don’t screw it up!
sounds like a job for John Riggs Open Cart Surgery
Michael don't screw it up! (Just playing, ya'll are blessed in this venture!!!)
I'm a barqs fan myself. Looking forward to seeing how new management handles the channel
NO MORE EDITOR RIFF??????
Michael, don’t screw it up!
If your using Brite boy you need to open it and clean. Bec it will leave residue higher on board and ruins it
Would be cool to send the Non-working carts to John Riggs for "Open Cart Surgery"
You need to open those up to clean them properly. Send me the 'dead' ones and I'll get them going
Michael don’t screw It up!
My absolute favorite root beer is from Sprecher. They sweeten it with honey. They also have the absolute best cherry cola.
I hope this doesnt cause a big mistake for the channel. Riffs editing shows how much eeiting does matter. Sad to find out Riff is leaving
Looks like a museum.
That was the rocks father
What do you want for the broken NES cartridges?
Send the carts to John Riggs for Open Cart Surgery!!
Do you sell online too?
I will miss Riff. Michael, don’t screw it up! ❤
Do you sell the broken ones? I’d love some good condition non-working games as wall art.
Dads root beer has always been my favorite. Have a lot of memories with my grandpa while drinking one. The blue label and yellow lettering is what I always remember!
Dad's is my favorite. Only see it at Piggley Wiggley here. 1:07
There’s no such a thing as a good root beer.
Do u remember ok soda? They had a 800 number for kids to call and listen to
Mummies Alive! Just watched the video from Secret Galaxy talking about the show.
henry weinharts is the brew of fancy beards
A&W ROOT BEER THE BEST BUT DADS ROOT BEER IS NEXT IN LINE !!!! YUMMY 🥳🥳🥳🥳
DBZ anything will sell probably. There's a huge amount of people nostalgic about it.
I like Barqs root beer 🍺 But then again, I think I’ve only tried like 4 different brands of root beer.. I’ve only had Barqs, MUG, A&W, and Stewart’s… all of the mainstream ones.

Virgil’s makes the best small batch Root Beer
Man, no more editor Riff??😢
Don’t have a favorite Root Beer but I like Pacifico beers !!!
Is riff fired or will he still editing?
If the labels and shells are in good enough condition I'd still keep the non working games especially if they are valuable because you never know when you'll have a working motherboard come in but the label and shell are trashed.
Everytime you walk through the shop I see something in the corner of the camera I desperately want to look at!
Michael dont screw it up!
Michael, don't f this up!
Glad you are getting some help with the channels. Love the content! Are you going to really rad weekend later this year? Got my tickets and room booked!
What about Riff?
Big Muddy Root Beer hands down!
good to see a upload on this channel
Editor Riff?
I looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this channel. I have a ton of retro stuff that I'm looking to get rid of if you're interested.
A&W or Mug is usually my root beer of choice.
Store looks great ! 🔥
It's May. Just recovered from Christmas? Yikes
Man Iove root beer, Bars,Dad's,Sassafras Root beer, but Good ol' A&W root beer for me is the best. Dog & Suds root beer is another great one
A&W root beer from the fast food joint
Crater Lake Rootbeer!
I'd send those non working games to John Riggs
What happen with Riff?
noooooo! what about Riffo?
I’ve never had root beer, it’s not a thing in Ireland, what does it taste like?
You should look at reaching out to John Riggs. See if he wants the broken games for his open cart surgery series.
Never had rootbeer :/ I love fresca but the fresca from mexico the real stuff ^=^
Things are changing... at Montgomery Wards
Stewart's Root Beer & Saranac makes a good root beer.
Bargs root beer fave for me
You got this mike
Michael don't screw it up! 😃 Would love seeing more walkthroughs of the store and what you have on the shelves.
