good on you for invinting the little man to join us
He loves the camera. I'm surprised he didn't stay longer lol
Awesome video. I love seeing the collection. I wish I started collecting back in the day. Hahaha
Thanks! I still have my original NES and all the games. My Zelda is even in good condition and it's seen a LOT of action lol
great to see one of these videos without focusing on dollar value and instead the memories and stories
wish i couldve found games from my local rental store..only thing ive found so far is ex-rental VHS tapes from a grocery, and another rental store i never rented from but the building is still local to me
Thanks! Those are better than nothing. I forgot all about renting from the grocery stores. That's a cool memory.
Mine is Snow Brothers. Nice shelves
Thanks! I built them during the shutdown. I still need Snow Brothers. It's a fun game.
That’s a solid collection you got behind you. Impressive!
Thank you VERY much! That's 30+ years of fun on that wall there. And still going strong!!
That's cool 😎 and so is your VIDEO GAME 🎮 CHANNEL. Hope your channel is on the INTERNET for many years to come.
Thank you very much!
Dude. I like your game shelving. The game titles are flush with the edge.
I can't find anything like that. I think I'm going to have to make my own.
I have a lot of games (more or less like you)
All in boxes put away hoping to display them some day.
I'd appreciate any display tips. Thanks man... enjoyed the video and subscribed too.
Game on!
I have my cart games on a couple shelves I found online, they happen to be the right depths for NES carts. Only $75 or so each.
Mine is chip and dale 2, snow brothers, and bomberman 2
Snow Brothers has always ben on my short list. Wish I would've nabbed it when it was under $100 years ago.
Great Video.

Thank you! It was a fun one to make. Big surprise though I had to play video games and film it lol

This still amazes me that AI does this!?
I have this memory of my dad picking me up on a Friday night when I was in elementary school. We went and rented The Jetsons for NES and grabbed some Little Caesars. I thought I’d check out how much The Jetsons costs now, and it’s up there with Panic Restaurant in price!
Ah back in the day when Little Caesars was good lol. Rem how awesome crazy bread used to be? Now it's crap. But maybe bc the one by my house is strictly staffed by 16 yr olds. I def wished I'd picked up Jetson's when it was cheap. That's prob one I'll have to settle for a repro cart on day. I still check a garage sale here and there just hoping.
Awesome top 10 list! There are definitely some you have I would love to find someday. Here is my top 10 most expensive Nes games. I am happy to say I enjoy all 10 and none of them really suck. Lol.
10. Crystalis
9. Holy Diver Collectors Edition
8. River City Ransom
7. Power Blade
6. Dragon Warrior 2 (Cart and Box)
5. Dragon Warrior 3
4. Gargoyles Quest 2
3. Faria (All inserts, manual, map, cart, but no box)
2. Dragon Warrior 4
1. Bucky O’Hare
:)
Those are all good games. How is your list so much better than mine? lol Crystalis is one of my FAV games! I have a cheap repro of Holy Diver with a really cool label that I like a lot. I want to beat that so I can say I did. It gets hard after a while. Have you beat it?
@@backinthedaygamer I wasn’t saying my list was better. Haha. Just that I know you had said that some of the games on your list weren’t that fun but having played mine, I like all of them and think they are all fun. You gotta like rpgs though. Lol. I have played Holy Diver but haven’t beaten it. It is really challenging. I picked up that large Retrobit Box English translation they did a few years back. A few other games I could probably throw on the list but didn’t due to various factors are I have a Minty fresh copy of the Original Metroid. It has all inserts and the Box literally looks as if someone just unsealed it. My neighbor and I completed the entire series over the span of a year and a half and in celebration of doing so, I decided to get cib copies of the games I didn’t have that for which of course were the first 3. Surprisingly Metroid 2 on the Game Boy was the most expensive to get fully cib between the original and Super Metroid. I also have a realy nice cib copy of Final Fantasy 1 with all inserts and map cib. Finally, some oddities. I have a Final Fantasy 7 demake cib repro, a Final Fantasy 3 English translation cib repro, a Mother 1 English translation repro, and my Timewalk games copy of the english translated Sweet Home with the Blood Red cart. Love ghat game. I sort of stopped collecting for the Nes but watching your video has kind of inspired me to perhaps pick some things up for it here and there.
@@gametourny4ever627 Holy Diver is a lot of fun and not as hard as everyone led me to believe. Until whatever board I always get stuck on lol. I really want to beat Super Metroid. Sweet Home is one that I think I'll really like too. I just posted a vid today about 5 Top NES Games Under $20. All 5 are awesome games. If you're thinking about picking up some games...
You got a new subscriber, also keep inviting the little man to join us, hell even let him play those gems! Greetings from Iraq
I have a pretty solid collection, too. At 635 right now. :) About 50 to go. Awesome shirt! I think I'll look for one just like it! As to Dragon Warrior 2 ... it's a lot of grinding, isn't it? B/c you have to have your company pretty strong to get through the last bit of it.
635 NICE! I'm about 605 and climbing very slowly now. There's only about 10 games left I actually want, the rest I just need. I've pumped the breaks to stall it out and try to enjoy playing now. Thanks on the shirt. I have the poster hanging right over my game desk too. I just toss DW2 in here and there to grind foe a bit to get ready. The next cold rainy day I'll make a run at it.
This was a fun video!! And yeah, I’ve never heard of your favorite game. Lol. We need prices tho! How much are those games today and how much did you pay?! 😉👌🏾💜
Thanks. I didn't want to put prices bc I'll never sell them so it doesn't mater. They are all way too expensive so you're not going to run out and buy any of them anyways lol
Love the thumbnail! Exact face i made walking in on my naked grandmother 😅😅😅
LOL! That’s what I was going for.
Knock next time please, Jonathan. Strip Bridge can get pretty real.
I would also like to see a video of a close-up scan of your NES games. How do you have them organized? Alphabetically? By sport? (All baseball, basketball, soccer games together?)
I have them alphabetically based on Jeffery Wittenhagen's NES book. You know some of the games are actually categorized weird "A Nightmare On Elm Street...". During shut down in 2020 I built a shelf just the right size for an entire set. 5/6 of the way there.
😊 tasteful done. I dig it... Out of all those, I think I have Waynes World somehow, (forgot about it) Lol. After seeing the cool colors I want to revisit. And certainly wouldn't have paid more than few bucks years ago also. Great vid! Grab that air fryer !!!
Thanks! It’s crazy bc I’m seriously playing Wayne’s World right now. I think I’m at the end guy. Idk bc I haven’t beat it yet lol.
I bought Ghost Lion many years ago when it was sold in retail stores. It was an impulse buy and I only played it a few times so it's still complete in box in excellent condition. It also came with a mini poster with the box/cartridge art.
It’s a fun game to play through. Not too difficult and very different. The cover art on Ghost Lion is totally 80s crazy! I’d hand that poster on my wall lol
I found at pawn shop 3 yrs ago and dude put like 40$ or 60$ on it at a pawn shop used cartridge only and I'd never heard of it so I watched short game play on TH-cam right there and passed bc I'm not big fan of RPG games so I left it they couldn't sell any NES games at the time then I seen everything rare and obscure starting to rise in price so I went back to buy for flip solely and someone had same idea to buy up NES games so that's my stupid story of "Ghost Lion"
@@42calking53 I wish I had been the person to buy those when you left them lol
Nice group of carts there. I should do a response video as well.
Thanks! Oh man def do one!! It was fun to look them up bc I had no idea.
Beer and games. One more subscriber. Cheers!
Lol Thanks! I won’t let you down.
Wayne's World totally follows the movie. Especially that part where the instruments attack them. Party on lame! lol
Especially the part where the instruments attack them! lol
16:09 🤣🤣🤣
That's just how he rolls lol
Nice! Congrats on your NES collection. I`m grateful that I have what I have before prices got out of control.
Thanks! It’s my fav thing. It’s sad that I can only get excited about getting a new NES game 70 more times. I only get a new game like 6 times a year now. I feel like prices are slowly going down. Slowly lol
I stop collecting years ago. I`m happy with what I got. I stop at 525 carts. Of all those carts I play about 30 of them constantly lol. @@backinthedaygamer keep on keeping on brother!
@@Urrukai 525 is a huge collection. It gets hard to even find games you need after that. 30 games you play a lot sounds like a win to me.
When my friends come over for game night is when I bust out other NES titles as fun competition. And yes there`s title belts involved lol. I`m a toys r us kid...never really grew up lol. @@backinthedaygamer
@@Urrukai Man can I come over!? LOL I had the nephews over last week and hooked up NES, Genesis & SNES. They didn’t like it as much as I did though.
Holy crap this video did gang busters! I watched it on day 1 but I forgot to comment 🤭
Great list! I’m very tempted to do a ‘response video’ (do kids still say that?). I was wondering what you were using to determine the value of these games, so I’m glad you mentioned it in the other video (which is what reminded me to come back and comment on this one)
Anytime you don't comment I fear something may have happened to you lol. Please do a response video. I need more quality episodes to watch. Make it extra snarky.
@@backinthedaygamer Challenge accepted, keep an eye out 😉
@@AuthorativeMrM And I enjoyed it lol
Found Ninja Gaidan Trilogy for SNES for $3.99 at a Goodwill.
Snow Brothers for NES for $20 at Funcoland.
SCAT for NES for $5 at a Flea Market.
Harvest Moon Complete from a rental store for $20.
Chip and Dale 2, Buck O Hare, and Battletoads & Double Dragon for NES from a rental store for $6 each.
Wild Guns from an antique store for $4.
Man those are some scores! It’s funny how we can rem stuff like that for decades but I forgot what I had for breakfast lol. It’s not nearly as heavy as any of those scores but the 1st thing that comes to mind is when I got Monster In My Pocket for $4.99 5 years ago. I’m leaving that sticker on the cart forever.
Are you drinking a craft beer directly from the can? Love the video, but the crime against the hop is unforgivable.
Thanks! If I drink it out of the can my kid is less likely to spill it lol.
How many nes games you have these days? Hopefully you are coming back soon really enjoy your videos
Great video man, I'd like to do a response video someday haha, probably will never happen though. I look at the valuable but not good games as investments
Thanks! But you’d have to sell them then one day to be an investment. Do you ever see that happening? I know I don’t lol
@@backinthedaygamer just when I'm dead lol. My kids can take the money and run
@@jmac79ers Looking at it that way, I better buy more games lol
@@backinthedaygamer exactly. That's wisdom right there!
I picked up Hillsfar from my local Felpausch video rental store when they were going out of business. The manual is mint as they would cost extra to rent. So I bought it complete loose without box for I imagine 10 or $20. Still have it. I have played it, but having been sitting on it to sell.
It's higher than I've ever seen so now is the time. My wife actually got the manual w my game which was a surprise bc I don't collect manuals. But I'm glad to have it. That paper is worth more than actual paper currency lol
Hiya BITD Gamer!
I won't dive too far into my own collection, but one of my more valuable NES carts that I love because of who it came from goes to Sword Master.
My wife, who I've now been with for 17~ish years, gifted it to me along with the manual as an anniversary present back when we first started dating.
Out of all the games you presented? I'd have to say Zen is my favorite :] Classic unique Konami goodness!
Great top collection, dude! :D
Nice. So similar to Hillsfar for me. Sword Master is very high on my wish list. I’ve be played it many times and while not a fantastic to play title I like it a lot. Zen is a good one I need to spend more time playing. Quite the opposite is Swamp Thing lol
My boy! Been a while! But I’m here!
Oh man the NES Addict still watched TH-cam!? Are you at the gym watching on the treadmill? lol
@@backinthedaygamer nope at the oil change place lol!
Awesome stack of games. When i saw you had panic restaurant i gave you a one finger salute lol jk. So jealous. My most valuable is that unlicensed stinker action 52. Im afraid to play it again it gets really hot.
Panic R is pretty sweet and my crown jewel. I heard 52 isn’t good at all so don’t risk it lol
Loads of bangers! Fun idea for a video. My list would be completely different. I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. I only have a couple of these…and I do like Ducktales. 😂 That last one though is pretty fun! I have had to emulate it to play it at this point. Hoping that I find it at a yard sale for $5 this summer. 🍻5
Good luck I hope you find it for $5 too. If so I’ll give you $500 lol. I def want to see a response bud from you! Completely diff is what I want to see.
@@backinthedaygamer I finished up watching this video and then looked at my list. Only two the same. I was kinda surprised just like you with some of these values?! I think I will do one. It should be fun.
@@DrinkGameswithJosh go to price charting and sort from highest to low price. Scroll down until you see your games. It only took 5 min and was a lot of fun. You’d like that beer too.
cool video man
Great stack of titles bro! You actually have one I still need! But I can’t twist my arm enough to pay what they are asking for it now 😭 great video man
Thanks buddy! Is it Panic R? I don’t know if I would’ve picked it up if I hadn’t gotten the deal I did. Paying $1.99 for Swamp Thing was no big deal lol
if ppl get upset about u showing prices...... then ppl got issues. Nothing wrong with shlwing off what u have earned 💪
Like I said though half of these were Pennie’s in the dollar. I also didn’t do this to “show off”. It was fun looking them up since I had no clue. Accept I knew Panic R was #1.
Don't see the point in talking about money on games purchases. I bought most of my collection up to 2001 doesn't mean anything now. It's just a lot of patting yourself on the back.
@@atomiswave1971 the point is u can be proud of things u own and the value they are now vs when u got em. Nothing wrong with patting yourself on the back when u have earned it. Be proud of what u have with your hard EARNED money. People who got a problem with it got a problem within themselves
@@megadan2988 Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos don't make you tubes about the money they make. Because what they make is irrelevant to the rest of us. You can do it but it's pointless. You advocate it because people will see it and buy games collections as investments.
That’s what you call a sweatlord. No redeeming qualities having dork
Your heaviest hitter is Panic Restaurant, mine is Bubble Bobble Part 2. An honorable mention to a Saturn game I have that is even more expensive (copies sell for over $1,000 on Ebay), Mizubaku Daibouken, aka Liquid Kids. I also possess Duck Tales 2 and Chip N Dale 2, got them for $30 a pop from a long gone retro game shop in my area. Lone Ranger and Bucky O'Hare are also in my collection, both have shot up in value considerably, I got them for less than $20 each. I paid $20 for Bonk's Adventure NES, that is a steal (same long gone retro game shop as the Disney games, that same shop also got in a Little Samson cart, but the shop owner sold it on Ebay for $200). One I scored for free from an online buddy, Monster in My Pocket, $0! A real life buddy of mine had Dragon Warrior IV, I beat the thing back in the day, took me about a couple of weeks of going to his house, and playing it for a few hours each time while he watched, but I managed (I can still remember the short power outage that happened when I was beating the dragon bosses before I faced the last guy, I had to re-beat all of them again, THEN beat him after, UGH!). Of course I can't ask that friend if I could buy it from him these days, dude's in prison..... for life.
Seems Taito have 4 of the most expensive NES games:
Panic Restaurant
Bubble Bobble Part 2
Flintstones Surprise at Dinosaur Peak
Little Samson
Konami has some too, Capcom as well, but those 4 Taito games commando premium prices these days.
I sit at 351 NES games, but a nice chunk of them are Famicom games (you used to be able to score copies cheaper than their western counterparts, those online hidden gems guys are ruining that market too). Of course I am at 1,345 games in my collection (I am super picky about games I want, not after full sets for any console/handheld), but that is over several different consoles, and soon will add some more games to the collection. I only buy 3 times a year, but I only spend so much at a time, fit as many as I can within that amount, and build from there. I'd say I spend about $600 a year on retro games, but some games are too ridiculously priced for me to seriously want to buy them. Nothing is a blind buy though, emulation has helped me select what I want to own in my collection, and if it's affordable, I pick them up.
And no, I am not in the hobby to make money, I sell absolutely nothing. When I croak, then the games go back out to the market, that is unless I can figure out how to live forever, or come back as a ghost and play my games, and scare my family off from trying to sell them. Could be a tough venture.
Wow those are some great deals! Topo bad on missing Little Samson for $200. 351 is a huge NES set. Around there is when it starts to get hard to find games in the wild. Of coarse now it's almost always hard no matter how many you have. I've never thought about what will happen to my games when I'm gone. Hopefully they just stay on the shelf lol
@@backinthedaygamer Your kid will inherit them, hopefully the kiddo has the same passion in him for retro gaming as dear old dad.
@@Bloodreign1 He's even more addicted than me. He could beat the 1st level on Super Mario before he turned 3. I still can't believe it. He would play Mario Wonder all day if I let him. Just like Dad lol
That was a fun video, man I wish Panic Restaurant wasn't so ridiculous in price. Love that game but never had the pleasure of owning the actual cart.
Thanks! I’m not sure I’d have Panic R if I hadn’t got such a good deal. Even then I was asking myself “Am I really going to pay this much for a video game?”. LOL
Hey did you know there was a SNES version of Cool World.
I did not. Is it better? I have a rough time w this one so I hope so lol
@@backinthedaygamer the graphics are better
I just about shat myself with that D&D Hillsfar! Such a unique game as you said very much an unknown game even to this day
I need to bump that way up on my backlog. Maybe other people think it sux but I've always liked it. Super unique!
Panic restaurant more fun than zen intergalactic ninja? That means I gotta check out panic restaurant I’ve never played it
PR is a lot of fun. It's pretty easy but fun. The ice board slippin n sliddin is the toughest part. Zen is tough but fun.
It was fun to see Panic Restaurant on the list as that's the only one of them that I own a physical cartridge for.
A Friend of mine was moving and was looking to sell some of his things and I bought his NES, Super Famicom and the games.
One day last year the Internet went out in my area and I played through the whole game. I'm very fond of the game because of this.
Cool story. I really have fun with it. I had to force myself to put the controller down for capturing game footage. I like when you get the big spoon for the weapon.
Sweet collection!
Thank you very much!
If you have that many nes games you should do a video or series of videos going over your whole collection. If you haven’t already.
What I’ve wanted to do (for years) is my NES Quest. Starting from my 500th NES game on featuring 5 games per episode. How I got each game and a 1 min review of each. Would you watch that?
@@backinthedaygamer of course. I think a lot to people would.
@@themanboycave122 Thanks! I’ll tell the wife I have to do it now bc it’s been requested lol
Thumbnail looks like an Anthony Fantano soyjack
lol
Sweet list, Intergalactic Ninja is interesting. I have to say being a dad of slightly older kids than yours, I get a chuckle of the working dad struggles. I'm a almost out of the woods where they act like babies but, I see that cave on the horizon where they stop respecting me and think I'm stupid just for existing. 🤣🤣🤣 I love duck tales 2. I was into the comic book when I was younger so this just fits. I've never heard of Panic Restaurant, game looks fun. Have a good day!
Thanks! He’s a Momma’s boy but he loves the camera. I was lucky he felt like watching tv and only was around for a bit lol. Sometimes he sits to be in a video but I stopped planning that and just let it try and happen. Panic R is really fun so if you can find a way to play it do so. But don’t buy it unless you hit the lotto.
Panic restaurant is also my top price game. 2nd is Bonk’s adventure, Ducktales 2 and Rescue Rangers 2 and Action 52 runners up. I think I’m only at 400 and something.
Bubble Bobble 2 and Sno brothers, Mighty final fight and Turtles Fighters are some other runners up.
Got Panic Restaurant in 2011 for 300 Canadian. Bonk was the same. 300. Also got Bonk 3 with box for same price. Couldn’t justify paying more for a game so I missed out on getting Little Samson and Flintstones dinosaur peak when I had the opportunity to get for under 1000.
@@jimjilliker2890 Man you have some bangers there! I could've scored Little Samson a few years back for half of what it's going for now. It's actually a fun game. I'm happy w Panic Restaurant being my heavy hitter. For now lol
DUCKTALES 2 RULES😂
I respectfully disagree lol. I’ve def played worse but it’s just not for me.
Glad to see someone buys a game to play and not to try and make money off it ?
DWIV, very nice. Ghost Lion cover is THE NES cover I associate most with you and your nostalgic tastes. Is Casino Kid 2 as bad as the first one? I despise the first one... I only sub for the Angry Baby interruptions, FYI. Wayne's World is so bad--even the SNES version is awful.
I need a Ghost Lion shirt. I haven't played enough Casino Kid 2 to say but my educated guess is yes. The NES Wayne's World is diff and better than the SNES. Not great just better. Now that Angry Baby is obsessed w Mario Wonder there's less interruptions. Sorry lol
Hmmmm, response video, I suppose I need an editing program and an IPad. Maybe a more high tech camera is needed? I’ve often thought of making videos. Not sure how. Just completed my Wii U full set. I love complete sets . Example, All capcom games for NES I’m pretty sure I’ve completed. My main love is NES. I’m 40. Collected most cart by trimming horses and saving up. I was the only NES Farrier I know. After getting the children a Wii U, it’s easily become my 2nd favorite Nintendo console. I never went for the new stuff past cartridges but it’s an Overlooked gem.
For years I drug my feet on making videos then one day I finally just said "I'm doing it". Lots of people just use their phone and free software. Don't wait if you want to. I really enjoy it. Not as much as playing games, but making videos is still fun lol
Well done, I enjoyed your video :)
Thanks! This was a fun one to make.
Ive read that Bandit Kings of Ancient China is a rare cartridge that fetches a few hundred dollars. Koei's games typically hold their value due to limited cartridge production of the games since Koei knew how many to get Nintendo to manufacture. I also cite it as the second most difficult game for the NES (After Dragon quest 2).
I’ve also heard that about those Koei games. Being cited as difficult on the NES isn’t a great thing lol. I’m actually playing Dragon Warrior 2 now and it hasn’t been that difficult so far. I’m past halfway I’d guess so I’ll prepare for the difficulty to ramp up lol
@@backinthedaygamer Dragon Warrior 2 starts out at a similar difficulty as a typical RPG.
I know Im giving away a spoiler, but lets just say that once you get a ship, thats when the difficulty really starts to go up. Try doing the rest of the game without a map or a walkthrough.
@@scottythegreat1 I have the ship and that’s when I thought it got a lot more fun for sure. I never look anything up or use walkthroughs. I do have the map that came w it but other than original things that came w it back in the day, I use no help. So far I like it a lot. Already looking forward to 3 & 4 lol
Wow I never heard of Zen, looks cool.
Yes it is. I haven’t beat it though but I liked all I’ve played. It’s pretty tough.
Not sure if I've ever heard someone say they didn't like Duck Tales.
I just don’t. It has good graphics & sound. The pogo mechanic just ruins it for me.
I clicked because I thought you were Jim Cornette
lol
I never understand why nes collectors dont hard case there games?? its really odd i have a modest collection so it didnt cost me alot but just banging the carts around there near 40 years old now its time to dust free protect them maybe?
I have to have each game in a dust sleeve then the expensive ones get the protective cases also. I wish I had space to put each one in an aftermarket custom clamshell. That would be the ultimate goal.
@@backinthedaygamer each time you pulled a game off that stack it looks like it scrapes the label of the game under it ? oh man your a good guy change up a little in the area of preserve no drinking soda and picking up big money games wash up no drinks i even use rubber gloves on high dollar games but its your collection and its a great one good luck on the channel i just stumbled on it a few days ago love your content.
@@Earths1stgamer Thanks a lot! I’m def careful w my games but the way I figure it is that if they made it 30+ years, they’re tougher than we think lol. There’s a couple that I am really careful w for sure.
@@Earths1stgamer Thanks a lot I appreciate that! I promise I take good care of those games lol. I just picked up another 20 Nintendo branded dust sleeves today. For when I get 20 more games. Hopefully that's soon but i only have 70 left.
It really is a shame that Panic Restaurant hasn't been rereleased. It's an original IP there's no excuse as to why it couldn't have been brought to the Switch via the NES online, or the VC back in the day.
There's still time lol. Every time I play it I have more fun. Slipping on the ice board is really the only tough part. It's a game I'd like to NDR one day. I'm not really big on those but this is one of the few I'd like to.
I beat Dragon Warrior 2 today. Grind away and beat that game!
Nice. I fig I’m 75-80% through. Still having fun and not tired of grinding lol
@@backinthedaygamer Jamming rock and metal tunes helps with that!
Waynes World looks 10x better than the SNES version at least, heck wish I had the NES version now! No wonder it sells for way more too
It is so much better than the SNES version. It's still not great though lol.
I see the dragon warrior 2 box in the back ground lol.
I do not enjoy Duck Tales 2 near as much as the first one. My most valuable NES game might be the first Mega Man. I don't know because I have no intention of selling any of them.
2 doesn’t seem as good as the 1st either but as you heard I don’t care for either. And I didn’t know any of these other than Panic Restaurant bc I have no intention of selling either.
My most expensive NES game might be 20 bucks...
I just don't collect for the system.
Inching towards that finish line.
I've pretty much stopped getting games for anything but NES. I pick up GBA here and there bc they're cheap and often good. But that's just to substitute for not getting NES lol
I agree don't sell it.i liked u attitude 😊.
Thanks! And def don't sell them lol
Why are so many expensive games bad? It's ridiculous. Panic Restaurant would be fun to play, but I'm never paying what it goes for.
Bc nobody wants them so they are rare lol
I gotta agree with you on Ducktales (both 1 & 2). Maybe its because i didn’t grow up with the game, but playing the games for the first time well into my adulthood…i just didn’t get all the hype. They’re not bad, but I didn’t find the Ducktales games as fun as say, Rescue Rangers or Darkwing Duck.
Also, dude, I feel your pain on trying to record a goddamn video. I’ll try putting a movie or show on for my son so I can record in the other room…but he shadows me and follows me everywhere. If the wife is home I don’t even bother trying to record anything. I’d get more videos out if I had more time to myself but that only happens once in a blue moon. Oof
Exactly. They’re not bad but I don’t love them. Darkening Duck is a fun one though. I rage quit on the final boss lol.
I had to cut a bunch of scenes bc he was all over me and going nuts. I felt bad bc I wasn’t paying him enough attention. Usually he just loves to be on camera. We will watch the vids later so he knows what’s going on.
Challenge accepted.
YES!!!
Just so we're clear, youre not selling any of them right hahahahaha
Wow ducktales 2 is that expensive over in the USA!
To be clear I am NOT selling any of these games lol. How big is your NES collection? I suppose I should clarify your region. Bc you prob are working all the regions.
Well the UK pal set is around 250 a full PAL set which includes all of Europe is about 380 but some super expensive games in there like your mighty final fights panic restaurants etc! im just picking and choosing what i like and can score for a good price now across all regions PAL & NTSC@@backinthedaygamer
What?! No little samson?!!|?! LOL!
I’m waiting for you to get a deal on it in a trade and sell it to me for a good deal lol
ooohhhhhh, that makes sense! 🤣
Mmmmmmm. Inside the Five chicken and waffles
You can almost never go wrong w chic n waffles
AVGN got jacked dude.
Thanks LOL
kids get off the shed...............GET OFF THE SHED .........GET OF THE SHED
FLEXING WITHOUT FLEXING.... OMG!!!
LOL
Super funny photo bomb by your son
Painfully slow and drawn out
Ya but he seems like a really nice guy so i hung in there lol
Definitely not. I like to hear how someone got the game and there opinion on it. He is definitely passionate about his nes games
Ritalin prescription ran out, huh? I hate when that happens 😆
at least you are not telling people "you must buy this or you must buy that" but all of that you have there is just pile of useless plastic, and you are paying for that while 4000+ roms are like 250mb 🤣😂🤣
But staring at roms deciding what to play isn't quite as satisfying lol
@@backinthedaygamer no it's not, i've been there, not with roms though, but when i had hundreds of physical games, i would stare at them thinking what to play on whatever console or what to install on pc....after getting rid of all that and starting my own digital collection with my favorites and top games i started enjoying much more, i'm playing 100s of games every day just on double click, whatever comes to my mind i'm playing without thinking what to hook with what, cables missing, scratched cd or whatever...now it's just me, my big screen, and my wireless controller :)
You in michigan

Please don't yell at us at the start of the video
Why yell at the start man
Way too much talk, this is just too painful
So drawn out and slow, like, just get on with it!
