@@retrorick I just thought about this giveaway right now and checked back to see if I won... what are the odds that you awarded the PS5 less than an hour ago! Congrats Jeremy!
I would really love to enter the giveaway I really like the new ps5 got a chance to try it out and I enjoyed it so please i would take care of it in my home also for that question I’m 13 and I enjoy the Zelda games I grew up with a ps2 and I gotten into so many games but then I got a chance to play Ocarina of time and forever since I loved the Zelda series and I’ve gotten really into Nintendo and PlayStation so please consider the chance for giving away the ps5 if you want to if not I love PlayStation and Nintendo now I really want to play the games on the PS5 so please consider and also continue with the good work love all your videos super nostalgic keep up with the good work 👍.
The thrill of playing a game that I haven’t played in years just makes me smile. And watching my 6 year old son play the games I used to play as a kid just makes me happy
Nostalgia reminds me of simpler times. Makes me feel like a kid again... Even though I'm 39 and working 40 plus hours a week. It just feels good to enjoy the things of my past like it was yesterday. And luckily I can share that with my daughter who is only five. Hearing her say "sweep the leg" nearly brought a tear to my eye.
Good luck selling it. Wata and Heritage just had the poop hit the fan, don't see much trust in a Grading Company that grades there own games then re buys them at high prices to inflate the market so it cists more to grade that game. 😉
Who knows... maybe if Wata and Heritage go down from what they are doing, that might influence the rarity of a Wata rated game over time. Regardless, it's a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros 3!
i was going to mention this same thing. those prices are so high, but theres no telling for how long, and if these WATA rated games will crash id honestly try to sell it ASAP for what you can
The nostalgia is real for me. As a Mother of three and oldest born in 1980 and youngest in 1991, all your videos are a treat to watch and reminisce of consoles, games, heroes, figurines, board games that we’ve bought over the years. As a grandmother now of little gamers (granddaughters), it’s fun to find vintage items for them and my kids. As a reseller, your knowledge is invaluable and I appreciate your time. 100k is right around the corner. It should be 250k with all your quality videos!! Fan forever. Wishing much success!!
Nostalgia = that fuzzy feeling in your brain, heart and stomach when you see, touch or experience something from the past you smiled, laughed or shed a tear at. ✌
I still remember spending hours and rolls of quarters at the local arcade…and then Nintendo started a paradigm shift. The nostalgia is that I grew up in the era of video gaming and watched it progress through the years from new consoles to epic games. It’s amazing how my son equally enjoys the retro gaming as well as the new generation of amazing games. Hours of fun and a part of history. I was there.
I think what I'm drawn to most about nostalgia is the idea of continuing our childhood. There's no reason to stop doing things you love just because you get older. It connects you to your past. You remember your friends, your family, other things you did back then. It's a very unique feeling that nothing can beat. Gotta remember who you are
Nostalgia is just a reminder of my times when we weren’t so dependent on technology. Being able to grab a toy off the shelf and actually enjoy hours of creative thinking is something I could never give up!
Being a kid was so easy and so fun with absolutely no problems in life, and playing all these awesome old video games takes me back to a chill relaxing time and for that moment I have no worries or problems.
Being able to play and bring back memories. I love looking back at my old toys when my son is playing with them. It’s rewarding seeing him play with my old toys I enjoyed because they were passed down a generation!
🤔 PLOT TWIST: WATA knows who Rick is and noticed his almost 100k channel could potentially bring in more grading clients and gave him a goood grade. WATA you sly sly dawg 🧐
Nostalgia for me is remembering the simpler times and innocence of being a kid, as well as reliving childhood memories! I connect to video game and tv show nostalgia the most, it really just throws me back to so many happy memories!
Watch the last video of "Karl Jobst" about Wata and Heritage. I would consider selling as soon as possible before the prices drop again. The things you can do with that money for your family is worth more than having a nice collection piece. BTW I'm also a collector and dad and would sell it asap
Shadiest market. I’d be selling ASAP! The fact a 90s video game with no pop count to know how many others exist in that grade - is worth the same round about figure as an Amazing Fantasy 15 in NM condition, shows how dumb the video game market is. Not to mention, with games being such a new market, people could potential be sitting on 9.8 boxes of these games. Comics have been established for soo long, any huge book has basically been accounted for.
Yeah, I went to bed super-super-super late because I was watching that video last night and the connection that Karl Jobst put forth to the 1980s certified coin bubble, assuming he has all of his facts straight, was illuminating.
Came here to give this same advice after watching Karl's video. Dont want to see Rick get hit because that bubble is gonna burst soon now that things have had light shed upon them.
The nostalgia of games really just brings me back to such a simpler time. Late nights staying up with friends with no worries or a care in the world enjoying our favorite games and toys. I truly never grew up i guess
My brother referred me to your channel and (admittedly) it took me too long to check you out. Ever since I did, you've been a part of my daily routine. My wife and I watch you together and then go out hunting ourselves to see what we can find in our own area. We even get excited to see things you showcase on your videos. Nostalgia has been a massive part of our relationship especially in the last year and a half. Thank you for bringing us so much more nostalgia, great videos, great tips and tricks and much more. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed!!
Adulting can/is a grind. Nostalgia brings endless joy to me. It’s also a way to reconnect with what you couldn’t have had in the past, whether a toy, game, etc.
You have restored so many people’s youth, you’ve gotten myself and thousands of people reminiscing their childhood and keeping that young spirit alive, you’ve inspired so many to hold on to what’s most important. Your videos always make my day. Thank you.
The overwhelmingly positive feelings and memories that nostalgia brings back. Plus being a Graphic Designer, it’s fun to see and dig into what the visual design trends were.
For me, nostalgia is about remembering the good old times, when everything was so much easier, when we just want have fun. When we don't know how much bad things happens around us, happy ignorance. And also I get a lot of good feelings throughout the journey of nostalgia pursue, which is priceless. Keep up the good work! Big up from Hungary!
@@flosmi It's a massive market manipulation, WATA and Heritage Auctions are in it together to inflate prices and make quick money, this includes shill bidding. I'd be surprised if WATA is still around in 5 or 10 years, they'll go under as soon as that bubble bursts. Here's an interesting, very well done video by a guy who normally investigates speedrun records: th-cam.com/video/rvLFEh7V18A/w-d-xo.html It's a pitty that the journalists reporting on these insane prices didn't do their jobs when writing these articles.
Love the channel. I grew up in the 80s and 90s. Seeing your videos got me back into hunting and it turns out my kids love the retro life also. Who knew a 12 yr old would fall in love with the 80s. Love sitting there playing Contra with her making memories. Thanks!
I started the hunt to recollect my childhood games recently, all sealed - not for profits, just for nostalgic and/or sentimental purposes. I want to encapsulate the fond memories I had growing up. For instance, I remember when I was 8 years old and my dad and I entered into a local gameshop Donkey Konga competition. It was so much fun and I still cherish that memory till this day and that nostalgia was the fuel to search for Donkey Konga sealed. I've been doing this with all my childhood gaming-related memories. It's very nice to watch someone else hunting, albeit for different purposes, it makes me happy seeing others love the same media that I do. Huge congrats on the grade, spend the money wisely!
For me nostalgia like everyone is about the memories. My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was little, my younger sister and I had to share everything, and we weren't allowed to play our super Nintendo except for 2 hours on a Sunday whilst my dad was out. Super Nintendo and then our prized n64 hold so many wonderful memories for me, my sister and I loved Sundays when we would load golden eye or zelda ocarina of time ( never completed either even though I'm now 32). Movies are the things I love to collect, anything we used to watch as kids sharing a packet of biscuits on the sofa, home alone, matilda, disney ect and there was something truly magical about older films, dunno what, but something. Toys were better made and definitely more appreciated. Im so glad I'm a 90s child, we had the best tv shows, toys, music, snacks.... everything was great 👍
Best channel ever Rick! 80s and 90s were all about the family spending time together...watching Tv, playing board games or video games! Good times! Thanks for the PS5 opportunity!
the 80s and 90s were the best times to be a child, i'm nostalgic to not only video games and toys, but music and movies as well. Certainly wish we can just go back in time, at least to visit you know 😀😉
For me nostalgia probably originates from the ps2 me and my brothers had a kid. Sadly we got rid of it when I was starting to get old enough to play the games so all I remember are glimpses of happy moments from games I can’t all remember, I think one of the spongebob movie game lol. Since then I’ve been far more into gaming and collecting of various things from my childhood memories like sports cards, gaming memorabilia, and even toy cars… vroom vroom🏎
The nostalgia let’s me be a kid again and experience it with my daughter. When i hear her singing ninja turtles in her room I know I’m raising her right
90’s nostalgia is my ‘happy place’. So much of the toys/games you find and talk about brings me back. The best is when you mention something I had that forgot about, I love reliving the memory. Keep up the great videos.
RICK PLEASE!!!! Before deciding on what to do with your graded game watch: Exposing Fraud and Deception in the Retro Video Game Market!!! (TH-cam) I just saw it and my jaw dropped. Something big has got to happen soon.
Because of the "feel" of it, it just often has more heart and is more organic in its style. I feel like the world was in its so called "wild west stage" entertainment wise. And THE STYLES!!!! I like old anime like Genshi Shonen Ryu and Ginga Densetsu Weed, so I dont just like "western" media, but the " pulp-y" style of even older stuff. It really was a golden age for me growing up. : )
Its the memories man, thinking back to a simpler time when it was all about playing with my friends and family that are no longer with me. I find myself going back to certain games like clockwork to capture the nostalgia and relive a piece of the moment. Love the content as always Rick. You are gonna make me clean up my shelving too! How often do you have to dust?
As an adult with the heart of a child, it brings me great joy reminiscing about the past playing games on my ps2, listening to 80's pop songs, watching cartoons of the day. It let's me stay as a child stuck in a state of fun and no worries. Instead of collecting items of the past, I have been accumulating and keeping them. I don't think I will ever grow up. I am so glad to be subscribed to your channel and also to Tendo's. Keep up the great content
Finding these nostalgic items is almost like a time machine. It takes me back to great memories from my childhood. Thanks for the amazing content Rick!
Retro Rick, my son and I watch you all the time. You are such an inspiration to my son. So much so, that his current remodeled room is completely 80s and 90s themed. He is 9 and loves everything 80s and 90s too. Super cool for me because I was born in the early 80s and I get to enjoy all my childhood stuff with him. It's awesome to find someone who shares our passion for the older stuff and can help convince a 9 year old that older items, consoles and tech can still be as cool as it was when it was first made and even a current times. Thanks so much for your videos. Keep up the great work!
@@DrLevelUp Are you that naive and blind too see the truth..! Umm their is actually so much shit that you can look up or search; agenda 21 2030 is one thing you can search/look up
I decided to go back to the stuff I grew up with after watching your videos from the $10 game collection. I did spend more than $10, but my collection has got bigger and better with only good retro stuff I have always loved. Thank you.
I think the biggest reason I am connected to nostalgia in general is not really having much money growing up and just wanting a lot of things I never got. Also, going out and finding stuff in the wild has helped me get over some anxieties and even playing a lot of the old games or with the old toys and walking into my office seeing all of that old stuff just makes me smile and feel so good. My favorite retro properties are TMNT, 90s Marvel, SNES, N64, 90s movies. But after watching your channel I've come to remember a lot of stuff I forgot about like nickelodeon, and genesis stuff.
So glad I ran into your account a little over a year ago. Best part is definitely the deep memories that are unraveled that I had no idea I had. The instant flashbacks of certain items in your background makes these videos for me lol Everything else is just a plus! 🥲🙏🏽
My favorite thing about nostalgia is seeing people smile and have happy memories of more simpler times! I’m also an artist and I love the Art! I am soon trying to open my own retro store with my boyfriend. 💕💕💕 I love it all. Thanks for the videos!!!!
What connects me to retro is growing up playing games all night with my brother and being told to go to bed, because we had school the next day. Love the videos!!
The thing that I like the most about playing my favorite NES games is that it takes me back when I was a kid. Having my favorite cousin sleepover at my house and staying up late snacking and gaming. The best thing ever.
Every time I get off from work and get home just to sit back and watch your videos man, they really entertaining, informative, fun and nostalgic, this just made my day.
I was instantly drawn to this channel when I saw one of your old NES shows. I love going back down memory lane. Reminds me of waking up to Saturday morning cartoons, then I would ride my bike to BlockBuster Videos and rent a few games and eat Doritos and drink Dr. Pepper all night enjoying a childhood that can not be duplicated. Man, growing up in the 80’s from watching TramsFormers the 85’ movie, trying to beat Mike Tyson PunchOut, Back to the Future. Actually growing up during these times and experiencing all of these consoles from Atari,Nintendo,3DO,Sega,DreamCast, PlayStation and now looking back on these times are priceless. Thanks for sharing and your time that allows us to relive a portion of this amazing time in my like.
I just picked up R-Type Final for $4 at a pawn shop. I started hitting thrift stores and pawn shops after watching your videos and I've had some success. My collection has exploded recently. It makes you feel like a kid again every time you find something from from your past that you once enjoyed.
I wish I was able to keep all my old retro games from when I was younger but I was out of work and needed the money at the time so I sold them on ebay. Love your collection.
I began collecting old games because of your channel. Sadly not all games i want was found but still it inspire me to look and buy new games and preserve them as mint as possible. so when my child get older he will not experience what i had not done before. Keep & preserve because memories is all we have after many years will pass.
Nostalgia just brings up the highlights of our young adulthood/childhood. Retro gaming, videos, toys, etc. brings back some of the greatest memories of our lives

Hunting for toys and games from my childhood reminds me of the 190s brings back my amazing childhood. It’s like finding your lost memories in stores. I continue to hunt for the excitement and thrill of finding lost treasure 🤓
Love your collection! Retro collecting takes me back to a special time of my life. As a kid I used to love going to Toys 'R' Us and playing Super Mario World in store. My Mom used to get me a game when I got good grades. So retro collecting for me is literally my time machine to the best years of my life! Thanks for your videos and showing us your HUGE collection. I get to see things I don't own yet and things I do. Keep it going!!! 🔥🔥🔥😁✊🏼
I've been following the channel for awhile now. Having said that I know that SMB3 is one of your favorite things in the Game Room. I'm glad you got it graded and preserved so it can be in the Game Room a long long time. Keep up the good work on making awesome content.
Started watching when you began the 10 dollar game collection. The wife and I love the vids and are starting our own collection. Thanks for the motivation. Easy channel to watch.
What connects me to nostalgia? All of the stuff that reminds me of my child hood; such as video games, cartoons, shows, toys. It’s something that I enjoy going back to since it reminds me of simpler times. I grew up as a kid in 90s, and every time I see this channel, it allows me to remember simpler awesome times. One of my newest favorite channels on TH-cam for sure. Keep up the great work Rick!
I remember scrolling through TH-cam looking for new content and stumbled upon Retro Rick. I’m so glad I found this channel because it brings me back to the good ole days of gaming and pop culture past.

They're called Wata Scam now.
Going through my retro collection just takes me back to a time without bills, work, or responsibilities. Its a tiny escape from the day to day grind.
I've been watching your videos since about episode 15 of the 10$ game collection, and I really like your videos! Keep up the good work!
The thrill of playing a game that I haven’t played in years just makes me smile. And watching my 6 year old son play the games I used to play as a kid just makes me happy

People are stupid they knew that all along but diddnt want to believe it bc that would mean that their 15 lose n64 cardridges arent 50k dollar worth
Who knows... maybe if Wata and Heritage go down from what they are doing, that might influence the rarity of a Wata rated game over time. Regardless, it's a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros 3!
It's still a graded game but it just isn't worth the 17k.
i was going to mention this same thing.
those prices are so high, but theres no telling for how long, and if these WATA rated games will crash
id honestly try to sell it ASAP for what you can
He sold it for like 60k

The overwhelmingly positive feelings and memories that nostalgia brings back. Plus being a Graphic Designer, it’s fun to see and dig into what the visual design trends were.
I find the evolution and sometimes shuttle nods to old designs are amazing. I’m curious on your take on how companies switch back to old designs
@@IshoSan22 It all depends, but as long as it is created with heart and purpose (even if that’s just to look cool haha) I’m all for it.

“What connects me to nostalgia?”
I couldn't afford stuff as a kid, Now that I am rich I can buy what ever I want.
So go buy a PS5 😉
For me nostalgia like everyone is about the memories. My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was little, my younger sister and I had to share everything, and we weren't allowed to play our super Nintendo except for 2 hours on a Sunday whilst my dad was out. Super Nintendo and then our prized n64 hold so many wonderful memories for me, my sister and I loved Sundays when we would load golden eye or zelda ocarina of time ( never completed either even though I'm now 32). Movies are the things I love to collect, anything we used to watch as kids sharing a packet of biscuits on the sofa, home alone, matilda, disney ect and there was something truly magical about older films, dunno what, but something. Toys were better made and definitely more appreciated. Im so glad I'm a 90s child, we had the best tv shows, toys, music, snacks.... everything was great 👍
I'm 18 and I like older stuff
I'm 18 and I like older stuff
He'll yeah we did.
Best channel ever Rick! 80s and 90s were all about the family spending time together...watching Tv, playing board games or video games! Good times! Thanks for the PS5 opportunity!
the 80s and 90s were the best times to be a child, i'm nostalgic to not only video games and toys, but music and movies as well. Certainly wish we can just go back in time, at least to visit you know 😀😉
I definitely agree man, it was the shit! 😀
I wrote a whole paragraph on nostalgia and can’t even get a like from Rick :( 🤣f*ck him
@@joseguevara3269 OMG!! You made me laugh so loud 🤣🤣
@@BigGeorge389 It was indeed!! 😁
For me nostalgia probably originates from the ps2 me and my brothers had a kid. Sadly we got rid of it when I was starting to get old enough to play the games so all I remember are glimpses of happy moments from games I can’t all remember, I think one of the spongebob movie game lol. Since then I’ve been far more into gaming and collecting of various things from my childhood memories like sports cards, gaming memorabilia, and even toy cars… vroom vroom🏎
Honestly there’s nothing more satisfied about being at home and just watching retro ricks’s videos
My dad got me into retro gaming and watching you score old video games is pretty awesome. Now my dad and I have made this a little hobby of ours.
Definitely feel nostalgia for the games that I owned and ones that I never could afford, and I can now play!
The nostalgia let’s me be a kid again and experience it with my daughter. When i hear her singing ninja turtles in her room I know I’m raising her right
#WATA is like "scamming ain't easy but somebody's gotta do it."
why are they scamming?
90’s nostalgia is my ‘happy place’. So much of the toys/games you find and talk about brings me back. The best is when you mention something I had that forgot about, I love reliving the memory. Keep up the great videos.
RICK PLEASE!!!! Before deciding on what to do with your graded game watch: Exposing Fraud and Deception in the Retro Video Game Market!!! (TH-cam) I just saw it and my jaw dropped. Something big has got to happen soon.
Also RGT85 just posted about it!
Because of the "feel" of it, it just often has more heart and is more organic in its style. I feel like the world was in its so called "wild west stage" entertainment wise. And THE STYLES!!!! I like old anime like Genshi Shonen Ryu and Ginga Densetsu Weed, so I dont just like "western" media, but the " pulp-y" style of even older stuff. It really was a golden age for me growing up. : )
I would sell that before the Wata bubble burst. It's coming!!
BS
@@CS-rk6fu it is bs, its arbitrary as fuck grading plastic wrap on a game. the bubble will burst.
This guy saw it coming
@@CS-rk6fu what happened?
Dam this guy saw it coming... the pandemic inflated a plethora of items (e.g., houses, cars, vtg games, pokemon) just to name a few.
What connects me so strongly to tje nostalgia is my kids. Introducing them to all the stuff I loved and seeing tjeir joy is awesome.
Market Manipulation = Jim Halperin->Heritage Auction->Coin bubble->DenizKhan->WATA->Video Game bubble
You forgot the CGC comic long con game. Him and his heritage partner publicly owned 25% of NGC, parent of CGC.
Its the memories man, thinking back to a simpler time when it was all about playing with my friends and family that are no longer with me. I find myself going back to certain games like clockwork to capture the nostalgia and relive a piece of the moment. Love the content as always Rick. You are gonna make me clean up my shelving too!
How often do you have to dust?
I’ve been excited to see this grade !
As an adult with the heart of a child, it brings me great joy reminiscing about the past playing games on my ps2, listening to 80's pop songs, watching cartoons of the day. It let's me stay as a child stuck in a state of fun and no worries. Instead of collecting items of the past, I have been accumulating and keeping them. I don't think I will ever grow up. I am so glad to be subscribed to your channel and also to Tendo's. Keep up the great content
Ouch. Bad timing with the WATA/Heritage Auctions Scamming Scandal expose video by Karl Jobst. Bummer it wasn’t graded by VGA instead.
Yoooo let’s go!!! Hope you got a 9 or better!! 🙏🏽 🔥
Subscribed to your channel today when I was looking for new videos to watch. Really enjoyed the few that I watched.
@@Shaneathon yo thank you so much!! 🙏🏽
To remember is to live again , Nostalgia hit us cuz what we see in your channel remind us of our happy times with those games and toys.
Finding these nostalgic items is almost like a time machine. It takes me back to great memories from my childhood. Thanks for the amazing content Rick!
This guy: OMG a freaking 9.4 Wata!! Wow! $17K 🤩🤩
Karl Jobst: I’m about to end this man’s whole career…
Good. WATA graded games will come tumbling down to reality. KEK!
You do know by now that WATA and Heritage are connected and full of shit with their ratings and auctions, right?
in cahoots together. should all be jailed. maybe they will. FBI, IRS don't mess with them
Retro Rick, my son and I watch you all the time. You are such an inspiration to my son. So much so, that his current remodeled room is completely 80s and 90s themed. He is 9 and loves everything 80s and 90s too. Super cool for me because I was born in the early 80s and I get to enjoy all my childhood stuff with him. It's awesome to find someone who shares our passion for the older stuff and can help convince a 9 year old that older items, consoles and tech can still be as cool as it was when it was first made and even a current times. Thanks so much for your videos. Keep up the great work!
This economy is going to collapse come February 2022 so there is that to consider.....
Why?
@@DrLevelUp what you mean why; umm hello where have you been; everything is being done purposely and planned..!
@@slejandroaanchez2071 Can you provide documented proof of this?
@@slejandroaanchez2071 Still waiting on some credible proof. When you planning on coming through with that?
@@DrLevelUp Are you that naive and blind too see the truth..! Umm their is actually so much shit that you can look up or search; agenda 21 2030 is one thing you can search/look up
I decided to go back to the stuff I grew up with after watching your videos from the $10 game collection. I did spend more than $10, but my collection has got bigger and better with only good retro stuff I have always loved.
Thank you.
I think the biggest reason I am connected to nostalgia in general is not really having much money growing up and just wanting a lot of things I never got. Also, going out and finding stuff in the wild has helped me get over some anxieties and even playing a lot of the old games or with the old toys and walking into my office seeing all of that old stuff just makes me smile and feel so good. My favorite retro properties are TMNT, 90s Marvel, SNES, N64, 90s movies. But after watching your channel I've come to remember a lot of stuff I forgot about like nickelodeon, and genesis stuff.
So glad I ran into your account a little over a year ago. Best part is definitely the deep memories that are unraveled that I had no idea I had. The instant flashbacks of certain items in your background makes these videos for me lol
Everything else is just a plus! 🥲🙏🏽
My favorite thing about nostalgia is seeing people smile and have happy memories of more simpler times! I’m also an artist and I love the Art! I am soon trying to open my own retro store with my boyfriend. 💕💕💕 I love it all. Thanks for the videos!!!!
What connects me to retro is growing up playing games all night with my brother and being told to go to bed, because we had school the next day. Love the videos!!
The thing that I like the most about playing my favorite NES games is that it takes me back when I was a kid. Having my favorite cousin sleepover at my house and staying up late snacking and gaming. The best thing ever.
Its always nice to see our childhood memories pop up when seeing old toys and games we played
Every time I get off from work and get home just to sit back and watch your videos man, they really entertaining, informative, fun and nostalgic, this just made my day.
I was instantly drawn to this channel when I saw one of your old NES shows. I love going back down memory lane. Reminds me of waking up to Saturday morning cartoons, then I would ride my bike to BlockBuster Videos and rent a few games and eat Doritos and drink Dr. Pepper all night enjoying a childhood that can not be duplicated. Man, growing up in the 80’s from watching TramsFormers the 85’ movie, trying to beat Mike Tyson PunchOut, Back to the Future. Actually growing up during these times and experiencing all of these consoles from Atari,Nintendo,3DO,Sega,DreamCast, PlayStation and now looking back on these times are priceless. Thanks for sharing and your time that allows us to relive a portion of this amazing time in my like.
I just picked up R-Type Final for $4 at a pawn shop. I started hitting thrift stores and pawn shops after watching your videos and I've had some success. My collection has exploded recently. It makes you feel like a kid again every time you find something from from your past that you once enjoyed.
Love the videos and all the 80s and 90s booty. I love it when you add clips of the shows and games, really stands out.
I come from this nostalgic era and love re-visiting these days in your videos
Love the Old Games and toys takes me way back Thanks Man, I love sharing these things with my kids and they love the stories shared
I wish I was able to keep all my old retro games from when I was younger but I was out of work and needed the money at the time so I sold them on ebay. Love your collection.
It makes me feel happy to watch your videos to remember my childhood, it is also fun to find things in thrift stores that remind me of my childhood.
I began collecting old games because of your channel. Sadly not all games i want was found but still it inspire me to look and buy new games and preserve them as mint as possible. so when my child get older he will not experience what i had not done before. Keep & preserve because memories is all we have after many years will pass.
Nostalgia just brings up the highlights of our young adulthood/childhood. Retro gaming, videos, toys, etc. brings back some of the greatest memories of our lives

Nostalgia takes me to a happier place. Takes me to when I was a kid with no real worries, no responsibility and nothing but time on my side.
Hunting for toys and games from my childhood reminds me of the 190s brings back my amazing childhood. It’s like finding your lost memories in stores. I continue to hunt for the excitement and thrill of finding lost treasure 🤓
Love your collection! Retro collecting takes me back to a special time of my life. As a kid I used to love going to Toys 'R' Us and playing Super Mario World in store. My Mom used to get me a game when I got good grades. So retro collecting for me is literally my time machine to the best years of my life! Thanks for your videos and showing us your HUGE collection. I get to see things I don't own yet and things I do. Keep it going!!! 🔥🔥🔥😁✊🏼
Im mostly nostalgic about old Nintendo games. But I love watching you go through those stores and show those retro toys. TMNT reigns supreme for me.
Discovered your channel a few weeks ago from Seth Fowler. So much great nostalgia. Makes me wanna go out there and collect.
I've been following the channel for awhile now. Having said that I know that SMB3 is one of your favorite things in the Game Room. I'm glad you got it graded and preserved so it can be in the Game Room a long long time. Keep up the good work on making awesome content.
Started watching when you began the 10 dollar game collection. The wife and I love the vids and are starting our own collection. Thanks for the motivation. Easy channel to watch.
What connects me to nostalgia? All of the stuff that reminds me of my child hood; such as video games, cartoons, shows, toys. It’s something that I enjoy going back to since it reminds me of simpler times. I grew up as a kid in 90s, and every time I see this channel, it allows me to remember simpler awesome times. One of my newest favorite channels on TH-cam for sure. Keep up the great work Rick!
I remember scrolling through TH-cam looking for new content and stumbled upon Retro Rick. I’m so glad I found this channel because it brings me back to the good ole days of gaming and pop culture past. Rick does a wonderful job guiding viewers through thrift stores and beyond helping connect all viewers alike! Congrats on the upcoming 100k and hears to many more in the near future. Cheers!
Finding the nostalgic toy that brings me back to a specific time in my life is the goal. Every time I look at it or hold it will trigger beautiful memories of my youth .
Retro. Nostalgic. Iconic. You living the good life. I love this type of content. You got damn near everything I’ve had when I was younger plus more! Awesome!
What connects me to my nostalgia is playing retro games with my dad and the 90s and 80s movies just love the old stuff.
