Big thanks to Pixel Vault Games in Ontario California for all the help with what I needed to get my retro NES system going . Great place and good prices if you’re in the area .
There is a retro game store in the city of orange: ptrgames.com
The owner seems super nice!
How much was all that?
My fiancé just said wow he looks like he lost some weight looking good big guy
reminds me of that episode where they brought in an authentic NES into Pawn Stars and Rick went on telling the history of the piece.
That guy behind the counter seems like a real genuinely nice guy. That’s how you get return customers
He is a great guy. He has time for you and makes you feel good inside when chattting to him
Would love to stop by and spend some cash there!
Seems like such a great guy!!! Would love to be his customer!
@Mike Tiwaz ........its wilson from castaway....................................
He’s on camera on TH-cam. It wouldn’t be in his best interest to be anything but. This is free advertisement for his business.
Retro gaming nostalgia overload! It’s amazing how good they built these consoles. The fact that they still work decades after is mind-blowing. Me and my brother have an NES in our collection too. Have fun with your system and great video as always!
Can’t wait to get back into . Always loved the NES
I think the guy restores them, they probably did break at one point.
The consoles work too bad the battery in all the games are dying now and have been for years which means u can’t save ur games, however a quick solution is to remove the battery and install a new one for another 30 years
@@johng5710 Yup. The NES was not a very well built machine at all. That is why we had so much issues back in the day.
No it isn't amazing at all. Non living things don't wear out like humans and animals.
I'd like to see you make a series out of you playing the games. A flood of childhood memories came back to me as you were playing.
I'll never forget the Christmas I got my NES. My mom was a single parent, so we never had much money. Getting a Nintendo as a gift was pretty much out of the question as they were just too expensive. However, with some help from family and friends, my mom was able to get us a Nintendo that Christmas. Wow, what a surprise that was! This really brought back some great memories!
My mom told us years later, how we got atari, For christmas, I actually wanted to cry, She sold her wedding ring.
@@captainscentsible1811 dang! how did dad feel?
@@bobjohnson1096 no idea. Nvr asked him
@@captainscentsible1811 lol
I had a similar upbringing. single mom on a fixed income. it took me 3 years to convince her to get me one. We had a local chain of stores called Jamesway. there were two of them. one in the mall and one across town. The day I got my NES it was April '89 at the Jamesway in the mall. they were having a sale on it. meanwhile the Jamesway across town was burning down. i'll never forget that day. hooking it up to our ancient 1974 RCA TV. I hooked it up myself. bad connections, the picture was fuzzy, but it worked!
Makes me want to go back to the 80's...Now if You can just Find a Time Machine....
You and me both
Let me know if you find one, I miss the 80's myself. That was when cartoons were cartoons and awesome tv shows and of course playing nintendo with friends. Priceless.
Ah, yes, the wonderful 80's! 🥰
Great Scott!
Can I come too? The 21st century blows.
Nintendo, it's a cereal, wow!
Those of us over 40 just enjoyed a chuckle.
A few of us would get the reference
@@TheDailyWoo I sure did. You sure brought me back to my childhood in this video. Thanks for this.
Most Definitely!! I loved the 80's
Love Mario Bros cereal
I’m 35 and I still remember those cereals :)
As young as Adam’s heart is, he doesn’t seem to play games regularly , it’s interesting to see you appreciate these vintage games
You should 100% do some retro gaming playthoughs. I love this stuff
Blowing on those cartridges is a huge part of my youth too. So iconic!
Just Call Me Annie favorite game
G TV Graham Robinson 😉👍
Never blow into the cartridges! The water vapor from your breath helps make a better connection, but can ultimately damage the cartridge.
Greg's Game Room Thanks for the tip! 👍🙂
I thought it was the silliest thing and didn't want other kids blowing on my stuff for several reasons.
My parents were broke but we always had the essentials like roof over our heads and food on the table
My cousins didn't want to have anything to do with me but a select few became my friends.
So when my parents surprised me with a freaking NES (despite there being super nintendo and sega's at the time)
I was so happy I was crying. I believe I was 6 or 7 years.old.
Same with me. We got a nes when the super nes came out. I got a genesis when the 64 came out, we were always one generation behind and happy as hell to have it. I try to explain it to my son how lucky he is to have not one but 2 curent gen console's. He appreciates it but dosnt know the struggle. Lol.
@@OREGONGAMER503at least you had the real machines , in my country in the 90s most kids including me had "famiclones" or "nesclones" a booleg consols of NES , but we were happy .
@@osamaroum Where are you from? I know that places like Russia had the Dendy famiclones.
I am happy that you are living life the best way you can! I always get a smile on my face whem I watch your videos. Thank you Adam.
Adam definitely has a unique way of holding a controller😅, to each their own haha.
Yikes, I saw that too. Massive cringe
Agreed, I’m a thumbs person myself. But I guess if it works for you, then have at it. I was more distracted by the stretch on the screen. It was like watching the game through a fisheye lens. Needs to choose a 4:3 ratio.
triggered
@@TheRealMapleSyrup Right... :D Thumb on B at all times and rock it down onto A to jump when needed.
Something tells me adam never heard of the 21 frame rule. Well if a bus arrives at the terminal.ahh we get it. Haa yea you can get fined in 38 states for holding the controller like that
I'll never forget when my dad brought the Nintendo home for us one random day in 1985. I was only 7, but I knew we were poor, so this was a BIG deal for us. (My mom wasn't too happy he bought it, lol) We then proceeded to spend the next decade fighting with him over playing "next." LOL, my dad was a big kid... his favorite was probably Mike Tyson's Knock Out. Aside from Super Mario Bros, my favorite was Excitebike. I didn't really know what I was doing, but boy did I love designing the track :)
My dad loved playing Mario bro after retirement he would play for hours my mom always arguing with him spending too much time on video games. My story is the same as yours. Thank you.
@@ariaahmad4065 LOL, yeah... my mom would argue about that, too. It makes me smile to hear our similarities. Thanks for sharing! :)
Mike Tyson’s punch out is one of my favorites
@@TheDailyWoo Oops, Punch Out, not Knock out! Sorry, I'm old now... lol. Yeah, definitely one of my faves, too. It's where I learned the term TKO :)
@@TheDailyWoo get yourself a crt television the graphics will look a million times better than on a hd tv. I know it sounds redundant but those consoles were made with tube TVs in mind.
I enjoyed this from the nostalgia perspective as well as the "seeing the genuine excitement' in your face. stay safe and excellent
Absolutely should do more videos like this. Was so fun seeing you get excited playing Mario. Just put a huge smile on my face. This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours in a very long time. Just seeing and hearing that childhood enthusiasm and nostalgia coming out.
My goodness... when life was simpler as a child... I have fond memories of having competitions with my brothers alongside with my mom, who often times would beat us on Mario Bros. She had no idea what she was doing, but just pushing buttons and beginner's luck! Great memories!
This Takes Me Back To 89’ When My Parents Bought Me My First NES Good Old Childhood Days Opening Up That BOX On My Birthday The 8 Year Ole Me Enjoyed Every Moment 🙂 R.I.P. Pops I Will Never Forget This ❤️
James Ruffin Same for me. RIP to the both of them. Take care.
Billo1281 I Still Have My Mother (THANK GOD) And My POP Passed Away 27 Years Ago.. And I’m Sorry To Hear That Keep Your Head Up Take Care..
James Ruffin I just lost my dad last year and my mom in 2012. Anyways, cheers to their memories.
Really enjoyed this episode! I wouldn’t mind seeing some retro gaming from time to time. My wife and I are in our 40’s as well and relate to many of your references and childhood memories. Thank you for the quality entertainment! We would love a meet and greet if you ever pass through Chattanooga!!!!
Yes, more Nintendo vlogs please. This is the definition of nostalgia!
Nintendo has been around since the 1890's. They used to make hanafuda (Japanese flower) playing cards and their most popular set (drumroll) had Disney characters on them! The Famicom was kinda neat, the 2nd controller has a microphone and Zelda used it. There was a character in the game called "Pols Voice" who would be scared away if you yelled into the mic. Anyway, looking forward to more video game content from you. :D
Thanks for the info
I bought a Vintage Nintendo Love Tester from goodwill for $5.. Got like $200 for it on Ebay :)
Want more of this Adam... its nostalgic for sure... i say do it when your in the mood, so yiu don't burn out. Love the vids and take care.
I was reliving my childhood along with you, Adam. Certainly a blast from the past.
Adam it's so awesome you stopped by Pixel Vault. I've purchased all of my retro consoles from Mando!
Watching Adam reliving his childhood is so awesome! I was literally yelling at my phone...NO IT’S THE FIRST PIPE! NOOO YOU MISSED THE FLOWER!!! hahaha so much fun!
If the games got dirty and wouldn’t work I remember I’d take a q tip and dip in rubbing alcohol then wipe the inner cartridge. Games worked after that
Brian Ostrowski Good times.
Oh like the video showed? Brilliant
@@hodun8 yikes what a Debbie Downer
This video was so awesome. I grew up in the 80's and remember playing all those games. Please continue to make more videos like this. That store and owner were super cool.
You are about to go down a huuuuuuge rabbit hole!!! Its going to be great and I can't wait to follow you along this journey.
It would be cool to see you go back to the Pixel Vault and pick up some more stuff
This is one of the most wholesome vlog episodes I have seen in a long time! Please do more of this! As a gamer myself and in my 30's, this brings nothing but nostalgia.
You are killing it with your videos recently Adam. Energy is good and you seem happy. I always love the ones where you at least start at home, it feels like visiting a friends house! And to answer your question, sure I’d be down for some casual old school gaming content. Thank you so much for your videos!
I loved this video. It was a nice change of pace and very nostalgic. I'd watch more of these.
I guess we have lost adam for a long while now, nintendo is gonna take over LOL
When I was a kid my cousin had the original ATARI and when I would go to her house I would sit and play for hours on end. Loved Frogger!
Frogger made me a nervous wreck! Never could get him across a busy street.
So Fun Seeing U Go Through The Process Of Bying The Game Console To Playing It! Thanks For Sharing! Take Care & Have An Amazing Weekend!
You just combined my two favorite things in one video.. atw and gaming. And I couldn't be happier!
Contra was a fav of mine: Remember the way to get free extra lives? I do....
Enter: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A and Start.... Have fun Adam!
Konami code! I remember trying it on every Konami game but only working on some
wasnt it a,b,a,b select start??? My memory is a bit rusty so I may be wrong. Also I think that code was for super contra, but once again i could be wrong lol. Brings back memories for sure!!
We always played 2 player.....so I always say select start in my head.
Kelso Tater I do think it was select, start... now that I think of it.
Oh yes!
So much nostalgia. I wish there were stores like this around me. There used to be two retro video games stores nearby, but sadly both closed. The last one closed due to robberies, and also COVID complications. Now there are no more stores nearby that take or sell vintage games. :'(
Thanks for posting, brings back so many good memories as a kid growing up in the 80's!
That’s very cool to see Adam The Woo and Jerry James of Ontario History Vlogs together at Pixel Vault in Ontario, CA. I thought of Jerry at the beginning of this video because he has featured this store before and then what a surprise to see him in your vlog Adam. I highly recommend his channel for some cool history of the Inland Empire area of Southern California.
It made me happy just seeing how happy this made you. Enjoy, Adam!
I still have mine from the 80s. I totally could’ve sent it to you. No one has used it in years. Glad you have one now! 😁👍
I know someone who can use ur nitendo if you arent using it.If you want to send it to me let me know.😃👍👍✌✌Write me back and id send you the address if you want to get rid of it.
MJ Hunter Hey there! I think Adam has inspired me to start playing it again, but thanks for the message! Have a great day! 🙂
I love this throwback. Keep Having fun with it!
I’d love to see more game store videos and play throughs of various games, it’s satisfying to watch someone so happy playing them. I’ve been collecting retro games for around 12 years now. I love this stuff
I spent many hours playing Mario Brothers and Zelda in the 80’s! It was a Christmas gift from Santa for me and my Sister. I wish we kept it!
AWESOME!!!!! I keep hoping you would finally get a NES! And you've talked about Legendary Wings so many times I knew you'd be getting it! So happy for you buddy!
Was surprised to find it . Love that game
😎
I remember playing Nintendo for hours and hours in the mid-1980s. Awesome memories of when life was so much simpler, a lot more fun, with no bills to pay just playing games for hours on end.
I loved this! It was a great crossover episode of things I watch most on YT, The Woo and Retro Gaming vids (The Game Chasers, AVGN etc). I especially enjoyed watching you play and your reactions. More plz.
Great “SCORE” Adam!
Wish I lived closer to this store. What a nice owner too.
You should make more gaming content. This video was a fun surprise.
You're overhand player! Nostalgia is a powerful drug, I still play Nintendo to this day and love it
Watching you play was the best! Flood of memories from childhood of my friends and I playing with the same reactions.
Man, that is sweet! I totally get what your saying. You just like myself and thousands of others spent countless hours playing those. Thanks for the share Adam.
Two Thumbz
I literally sang “It’s a breakfast now” in my head right before you said, no not the breakfast cereal. 😂
Rochelle Horrocks did you sing it in tim tracker style
Me too
I love how much this guy clearly loves what he does! Super great customer service!
Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching!
Hey Woo. Get that Mega Man 5 for $27. Thats a hell of a deal. I haven't seen a Mega Man 5 for under $90.
What?! That's a crazy price! I bought it last winter at my local game store for $19. I must've just got lucky...wow
I can guarantee its gone by now.someone should call and ask.i bet it sold if he ships or sells online. That game ive seen it selling for 155$
@@captainscentsible1811 maybe complete with the box. Just the cartridge is not worth that much.
@@stoshbeast1 well 5 is certainly worth a bit more than 27 bucks lol
Absolutely! It goes for over $80.
The way you hold the controller is the most offensive thing I've ever seen.
Ikr. Just horrible.
hahahahahahahahahaha he was actually pulling it.
I have a former friend that did that! WTF!
Holding the controller like that was the 80s version of reverse camera control. It is very weird but many people do this.
Your the offensive one if you think about it. This generation of gamers main place for games back in the days use to be the arcades. And how are your right hand placed on thoose? Yeah exactly...
Besides he plays the game better than many holding the control "the right way"...
Omg. I needed this. I have never laughed so hard watching you play Super Mario bros . Your animation reminded me of when I was a kid playing this game. It was like I was watching myself play 35yrs ago. That was absolutely awesome Adam.
Bringing back the memories....thank you for the awesome video....
It’s funny how blowing on the games was just something we discovered, I don’t think anyone ever told us we just figured it out. 😂
It was the universal "fix all" for any cartridge style games 😁
@Chris Wallace It's not really a good idea to do this. Can put more wear on the connectors.
@@bigdawg8412 exactly blowing on the cartridge's can actually cause rust damage on the pin connectors so use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip thats the best way to clean nes games.
This was an instant thumbnail like.
If I was in Ontario (which I am, but Canada) this is a store I would visit and love. Amazingly friendly customer service and a true joy to watch. :) Thank you!
I kept all my systems, I still have an original nes, sega genesis, ps1, ps2, ps3, and a ps4 I really enjoyed this one, your excitement is infectious
Picture looks a bit wacky - just need to adjust the aspect ratio to 4:3. Enjoy the sweet memories!
Like a kid in a candy store. Birthday gift to himself bringing out the 11 year old Woo.
Great video and shop...childhood nostalgia!! Interesting way to hold the controller. I always used my thumb on A and B. We used to lose our tempers and chuck those controllers. They never broke. Indestructible!
I love this video! The cool thing and coincidence is that I just brought my NES out of the attic after 20 years and started playing with it 2 weeks ago. I am now learning piano using the Miracle that uses the NES that I got for Christmas in 1990. Thanks Adam!!!
I've never seen someone hold the controller like that..was it bugging anyone else???😂😂
People held it in several different ways back then. This is the "arcade" method and yes, it's awful. Adam needs an NES Advantage if he's gonna play like that.
No real Nintendo player would hold it like that.....
I saw a lot of kids in the late 80's hold their NES controllers like that. It's a lot more common than you think.
Yeah after I posted this I started thinking about his age and figured it must be because he grew up in the world of arcades...made alot of sense after looking at it that way
@@synical13 only thing is, he’s doing pretty good while holding it like that. He comes from arcade days.
I remember the Zelda NES game. It had a gold case unlike the typical gray. The neatest part was that it had a chip in it that allowed you to save your progress unlike the other NES games where you had to play the whole game in one sitting because you couldn't save.
Chip=small battery
It wasn't a chip, it was a calculator battery to keep the cartridge energized just enough to keep your progress.
Good memories, I got my NES for my 13th B-Day in 87. Still have it and the original box!!!
Wow I already love your channel but now you touched on something I also love, collecting and playing retro games. I've been to Pixel vault numerous times and love Armando such an awesome dude
Although the SNES is my favorite console of all time, I think the NES might have had the biggest impact on me and my love for video games. I had an Atari 2600 from 1983 to 1988/89, but the NES was a huge step in the evolution of video games. Super Mario Bros, the Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, Mega Man, etc. It was such a fantastic console, and it's too bad collectors have forced the over inflation of prices of retro games.
The tv picture looks odd because it’s on “pan and scan” or something similar. It’s stretching the edges of the picture to fill the screen. You can turn that setting off.
Yessir make a series of all the retro games you play.. it sure brings me back memories when I played Nintendo with my younger siblings..
Thanks for the nostalgia trip. I still have my Super Nintendo in the garage.
Adam the Woo, today was transformed into , Adam the KID. 😉
We couldn’t afford Nintendo when I was a kid; we had the Sears Atari system instead
Although about 8-10 years after it came out, my brother purchased one
This should've been pinned
The quality of those cartridges in that guy's store was astounding. I'm a collector, and it's hard to see quality that good and clean.
Your video was very enjoyable. I love how you don’t rush everything, and you bring us through the whole process with you. You are very pleasant to all the people you encounter which is very endearing to watch.
I thought you were going to show us HOW to hook the darn thing up to a TV, which is my issue with an SNES I have, but that’s my bad for misreading your title.
But I still enjoyed the vid!
I’ll take a look to see if you made another vid of how to hook it up.
God bless.
Adam. You lost weight bro! Looking good. Keep it up.
Beyond good.adam is doing great.he inspired me. To lose weight. But i was starving myself. I lost 20 lbs my 1st month. And i work out 2 hours a day. My mental health has been better . just from lifting weights. Very proud of adam.!!
It's crazy that we played Mario so much I still remember everything!!! Haven't played in 20 years. 😂
Me too
*Super Mario.
Great vlog Adam! Took me back to the day I got my Nintendo with that original box! Thanks for sharing.
Nothing makes my heart melt more than seeing a retro game store 😊😊😊
If you haven’t already, your tv is stretching the image to fit the game, there may be a setting to change it to the original 4:3 aspect ratio. I also saw that Pixel’s has Archon, great classic game! It’s like chess but you actually battle to win your moves.
Oh sweet! The original Legend of Zelda and Punch Out were my jam back in the day. I remember Top Gun and Duck Hunt dog made see red, lol.
Punch Out was my favorite. Fighting Tyson was like a white knuckle ride, just waiting for that one punch to knock you out.
Now these are the videos I want to see. Great one man!
What a gem of a shop, great find!
Isn’t it amazing that all the old stuff still works after 30+ years??? “Don’t make em like they used to” nothing like Nintendo 👊🏻 can’t wait for Epic Universe!
My Atari VCS still works. My original NES stopped in a couple of years, but then I did play it a lot more.
He bought a refurbished unit, trust me that most of them break at some point.
My husbands PS4 had the “light of death” they call it and better off buying a new one. Just like TVs and cars fragile as heck
This is so Cool and Fun! Was that Einstein's doppelganger?......
Nice! I need to make a drive up there some time. The store and guy is so chill, very down to earth
that was cool Adam seeing all that vintage stuff. and the Nintenodo console. Thanks for the video.
Used to have a Nintendo had that game you're playing the Mario Brothers love that game
I still have my old NES sitting on the shelf. Haven't played it in years though. Now you just need to buy a Playstation 5 so you can see how much video games have advanced since the NES days. They've certainly come a long way.
Not Interested in anything new . I’m weird
@@TheDailyWoo Your not weird Adam your a classic and love retro games please check out my favorite store in Huntington Beach ptrgames.com/ right off Beach Blvd the guy that owns it is super kind and nice and honest and fair prices. I bet he would let you video too. And its not far from you. My wife gets a ton of Nintendo games from him. I'm a Sega guy myself and old school Atari as well guess I am showing my age.Great video Adam the store I am talking about is at Retro Games Plus

I love how i just watched the whole video and when you started playing i was like go go go you got this!

Hi Adam, may have to bring Big The Foot inside so he doesn’t miss you! I’m thinking you might be in there a while 😊👍

I'm currently playing Mega Man 1-6 in order.
Watching this I remembered Christmas of 85 clear as day... pulling the console out, the styrofoam... still an amazing console today.
Thanks!
Loved this vlog. Absolute nostalgia overload
