This video is a breath of fresh air from all the highly edited and SuPeR sToKeD "collectors" getting grails for pennies at swap meets. Just feels like a nice lil journey, no anxiety. Thanks!
That's what I'm going for! Thanks for the kind words!
Yeah I'm so sick of those kinds. Especially Retro Rick and Pixel Squad. So tired of the flippers. I see it as a regular gamers are missing out on these great deals on games that they just want to play and enjoy the game. But they never will because of flippers who buy everything up and sell it at a collector price.
Don’t get me started with all that obnoxious loud retro music where you can’t even hear what they’re saying. You’re awesome John keep it up! 🎉
"It's an accident I swear, I'm not trying to go to the pool." Lol, suuuuuuure buddy!
Walking around small towns talking about games? Inject that shit straight into my veins! Need more!
More to come my dude
good to know that Collector John is a fellow common loon
Just happened to stumble upon your channel, and it's a vibe. You seem like a chill person! Subbed
Same here
Thanks for watching homeslice
Looking forward to the inevitable bass fish off to see which is best. Comparing similar style cheap games could be a fun side series
I had the idea of ranking every fishing game for the PS1 but jfc there are like 50 of them
My goodness I love this channel, please please please keep it up
I will! Thanks for watching!
The scream in the car wash got me 😂
Best part for sure! Well that or the zoom in on dead or alive!!
A mystic loon call is the last thing you hear when your death involves a forest.
FF Tactics Advanced is such a blast of nostalgia. I played that game so much growing up and still have my original copy. I remember putting in the bs amount of grinding into getting all of my Ninja's the Double Sword ability.
Always appreciate your stuff man. Have a good one!
Appreciate you dude
Nice watch ! I liked the CRT gameplay footage addition to the pickups
Thanks for watching my dude!
Me before watching video: “Oh hey, it reminds me of that one little game store in downtown West Bend.”
Me after watching video: “OH MY GOD, IT IS THAT LITTLE GAME STORE IN DOWNTOWN WEST BEND”
My home town video store to this day still rents out NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 games etc
That's awesome, what town is that in?
And the ddr games are amazing,lol
Nice pickups! Especially that DoA! The 1st one had way more actual gameplay than all the other sequels combined, lol! Of course, you hit the Pool side button by "mistake" 😂! Great video and keep up the good work!
Lol they really wanted me to go to the pool. I feel like the first one was more fun tbh and I thought the Jet Ski riding was a lil disappointing. Oh well!
Crusin' your way into 2K subs man...Nice!
I didn't even realize til you mentioned it lol
Liking your channel man! I. From literally just over the border in IL, 20 mins from Kenosha! Im a truck driver in food service so im in Milwaukee every week so its cool to see someone so close to home! I actually made a delivery to this area one day and saw Respawn and stopped in for a bit, pretty cool store!
Your definition of heavy hitter games cracked me up lol, specially because it´s true for Xbox players .
Yup $15 OG Xbox games are all grails lol
I live in west bend and once I saw respawn in the thumbnail I clicked immediately, it's a really nice store and I bought some games over Easter weekend. They do have a second store in fon du lac but haven't been to that one yet. I'm glad you liked our little videogame store.
It was awesome! Thanks for watching!
Hell yeah! Was just checking the page the other day in case I'd missed an upload, always epic to see a new Collector John vid! Keep up the good work, hope to see you hunt around the Twin Cities metro someday!
Appreciate you! I'd love to do some game hunting in the cities
Action bass rules! Fish on!!
OL Johnny the collector is back! America , F**k yeah!!!!
Loving the Xbox 360 profile pic my dude
@@collectorjohn9538 thanks man ..I love Xbox, especially the Xbox 360..anyways with that being said I really enjoy your content and hope to see many more episodes in the future
Congratulations for the channel.
Very cool to see these games stores in the US.
Here in Brazil we don't have many games stores, I envy you in a good way 😂, because you have several stores and with great prices.👍
Hello, fellow Wisconsin collector here (Wisconsin Dells area). I just came across your channel. Great video. I've been to that store before. It's small, but a nice selection.
Nice! Love to see fellow Wisconsinites in the comments. Are there any game stores worth checking out in that area?
@@collectorjohn9538 unfortunately, not in my area. I have to commute to Madison to the couple of game stores there or to the Appleton area. Press Start Games and The Pad are excellent stores in that area. There's also a small store in Beaver Dam and in Mauston I like to stop at when I'm passing through.
Although I'm not an xbox collector I like the channel (although I know you collect other consoles xD), it's relaxing to watch and you feel identified as a collector... than the rest of the channels that find super cheap games or pay a lot of money and thus easily get them. A lot of success with the channel, in the meantime I've already subscribed xD
Hey thanks so much for watching, I'm glad the videos are relaxing for you because that's what I'm going for!
I went to this store for the first time back in fall 2022. It was fine. I picked up one game, but everything else was a bit overpriced, and their selection wasn't super grand. Their other location has a lot more stuff, and I picked up a LOT more there.
Btw, we are in Madison, WI and hit up game stores all the time. We actually just got back from a road trip through Indiana, Ohio, and parts of Kentucky. So many games. 😍
Sounds awesome! What are the game stores to check out in Madison? I need to make my way over there soon
@@collectorjohn9538 there aren't any good ones. That's why we travel so much.
The town I live in/ grew up in has a population of 900. Small towns have great things
I remember you could play a mad dash demo on the walmart xbox kiosk back in the day. the television was like up on the ceiling lmao and you had to crane ur neck to see. I obvs couldn't not play whilst mother shopped, but I prayed for her swift return cuz it still really hurt my neck teehee
Those kiosks hurt so bad bro
I remember,they stopped doing that alot of stores,my GameStop don't have that to much.
Good pickups! I live near the Wisconsin boarder in Illinois, you're giving me a ton of spots to check out man
RIP to your cars paint. Lol great video though, always love kicking back and watching your videos after a long day.
That's what I love to hear ❤️
I live over in Elkhorn about 45 minutes from Milwaukee. I’ll have to head up to West Bend and check this out!
Great Video John
Thank you!
The guy that does all those videos about the structures in New York City, you look like his long lost brother! It's a compliment by the way :)
Really appreciate the sarcasm.
God America has so many people, i live in a small town in Australia and it has 600 people not 30k lol.
Oh we have plenty of towns like that too, trust me lol
Fremont Ohio has a small video game store called C and C games and Bellevue Ohio has one named Level Up
Ah, you're in Wisconsin. I'm in West Allis!
Right on!
Hey! nice video 😊I just found your channel and love your content! am binge watching your videos haha. I love video game collecting and op shopping (thrift stores) so I am glad to have found you're channel! ❤ Hope you have a nice day/night!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@collectorjohn9538 No worries! thanks so much for making your videos! 😊
I still see games at the Sheboygan Goodwill, every now and again. Also, if you have Savers in the Milwaukee area, try them, I had some luck in Eau Claire
No Savers here but I love the one in Eau Claire
You would love Primal John, great little under rated game
Would love for you to visit Video Game Corner in Corinth, Mississippi!!
Definitely going to need more car wash horror intros!
Car washes are scary
DOA volleyball was amazing.
So this is where David Foster Wallace really went! 🤣🍻 Glad your channel came up in my feed - loved the vid. Sub'd!
Oh man you're right I do look like him in the thumbnail lol
@@collectorjohn9538 he's a legend and SO ARE YOU brotha!! lovin' the collecting hunts as a new collector myself.
The PS2 section was dope!
Yeah it was, I wanna go back with more $ 😭
that game store looks rad!
It was a cool store! Love your channel btw!
I would have bought the freekstyle on gba cuz my friend and loved playing it on ps2 back in the day. It would have made me a happy camper! Lol!
My wife and I will drive 2 hours to go to video game stores lol. There just aren't any where we live in south Texas. And for some reason all of the thrift stores mark things up 20% higher than eBay?
Another great video, dead or alive is like bootleg sims lol. Love it
Pretty sure I have bought games from Respawn at Midwest Gaming Classic. Cool pickups!
primal is great and has an awesome soundtrack
Love the editing of the video, felt like a cool little adventure. Also good sounds you used in video too. I found a copy of ghost in the shell one time for PS1, it was going for more than 130$+ at the time online. I saw it at the store for under $80, I was going to buy it but they never found the disc in the back 💀 that beach game I definitely played for the plot 😂
Thanks for watching duder ❤ bummer about Ghost in the Shell!
What a lune lol
$50 for silent hill 2 was honestly a steal
Not for the Xbox version unfortunately (plus I already have it)
So basically you got DOA Extreme 2 for research... 18:21
Indeed 👀
The Fishing Games 😂. Your whole channel gives me Original Xbox Reddit Vibes.
Honestly probably my favorite subreddit lol
@@collectorjohn9538 me too !!!
Good video! I’m also from the Milwaukee area and have been to that store! Would love to know what other stores in the area you like
Battlebox, every mega media XChange location, and Makes Cents are my favorite Milwaukee ones!
@@collectorjohn9538 sounds like we frequent the same spots! My man lol. Cool to see other Milwaukee based collectors out there!
Primal is a pretty decent PlayStation first party game! Give it a chance if you have your PS2 hooked up! I think it's included in PlayStation Plus too
Dude if you ever see Sparten Total Warrior again pick it up. It's a very underrated game. You will not be disappointed
Also, every single copy of chronicles of Riddick I've ever seen has looked that bad! Wtf happens to them lol
DoA is totally "dad walks in" the video game LOL
I agree with some other commenters, you passed on some Genesis bangers, mainly Ranger X
I sold my genesis a while ago because I just wasn't that passionate about it 😥 maybe someday I'll get back into it. I like the Dreamcast more
Still don’t have an OG Xbox, so no DOA Extreme 1 for this guy. Glad to know I have ability to acquire 2nd game on 360. PS2 has some great bad volleyball games. Glad to see a video, look forward to the gameplay from some other games on your adventures. Be well
I never played dead or alive beach volleyball 2.
Come thru to Eau Claire sometime! Tbh between gaming generations and the pawn store there’s some cool things to be found here
I was actually there a few weeks ago and I went to Gaming Gen! I love that chain, especially the one in Stevens Point
@@collectorjohn9538 I still need to hit that one up, I stop by Wausau all the time, the people at gaming gen know me by name so I probably go there too much 😭
Yo, I'm from the brew city as well! What are your favorite stores to go to around the city?
Battlebox, all of the mega media XChange locations, Makes Cents, half price books sometimes. I also love Gaming Generations around Wisconsin
Great pickups!
Thanks for watching!
You should go to universal collectibles In Menomonee falls.
I’m only here for the easy times
I appreciate you either way
@@collectorjohn9538 oh thanks man, just for that I’ll stick around for at least one hard time 👍
It really did cut to a commercial when you said to.
Sweet! got something to look forward to after work. Wish there was more game stores near me 😭
Dang, where are you located?
@@collectorjohn9538 south of Knoxville Tennessee. There is a 2nd and Charles a couple hours away. I'm going there this weekend. Trying to find full auto on the 360.
Subbed bro
Thanks for the sub my dude
is there any warranty if dvd game can't work
sick frames!!
Tank you
That freestyle gba is a unique racer, I would've definitely gone for that R type Third Lightning and Final Fantasy Tactics. Do you know how much they were asking for those 2 games? Cool video, nice to see og xbox still getting love.
Yes. But isn’t everything a vibe these days?
I have to ask how did you connect your 360 to the Dell CRT that's awesome
Hell yeah buddy, there's an OEM VGA cable you can buy for the 360
@@collectorjohn9538 Holy crap that's awesome I'm all over it
Dope video. Just curious do you know the name of the fight stick? That’d be cool to add to the collection.
It's the Street Fighter IV stick for the Xbox 360. I think it's made by Mad Catz. Thanks for watching!
Hes cute😮
This shit is a vibe.
Stop cursing its a sin dude
Wait what’s wrong with “greatest hits”games?
They’re not as valuable as the original copy plus many people think greatest hits cases are ugly
terrible compared to other collector vids bad editing and drags on way to long
Thanks bozo
Go watch some clown like retro rick then hahah
@@collectorjohn9538 no worries rat
The thrift store trick got you. You bought 3 garbage ps1 games for 9 bucks just becuase they were at a thrift store. If they were at a retail store you wouldnt have even considered buying them. I stopped buying garbage like that for this exact reason. The want to find something is so great you will buy junk. Do that a couple more times and you could have bought an actual good game instead.
