Great video🎉 im going for all rockstar games, almost got all gta ones
Thanks mate. Appreciate you taking the time to watch my video 👊🏻 good luck on the hunt.
It's always worth checking if they have the manual behind the counter. I've visited a few stores now that take all the manuals out of the boxes on the shelves.
Seems to vary by store.
I tried that too but no joy. Not to worry though. I still enjoyed driving about lol thanks for watching Robin. Have a great week 👊🏻
Some stores keep the manual behind the counter. Some do slip out onto the shop floor. Mine does this I just take the cases up and they check for me 👌🏻
Yeah man! I did ask. Thing with gta is as kids we would stick them on our wall so finding decent condition maps and manuals is tough. Which I obviously found out. But that’s the game hunt. I try to show what it’s like as a lot of TH-camrs paint the picture that there’s the perfect game hunt or it’s jackpots every day. It’s not
@@retrosmashtv yeah understandable I just bought GTA on ps1 from eBay really nice case and disc. Didn’t notice it only had one of the maps 😔
Must have put a few miles on the motor with this hunt m8! You're right though it doesn't always work out the way you expect. Makes you appreciate the games that are complete that little bit more though doesnt it.
Still its all good fun and really appreciate the effort you put in making this. Very cool with the way you incorporated the mission layout with the texts and the sat nav!
Cheers mate, it took a fair few hours to edit this one and get the idea it was a bit of a mission but I couldn’t get the sounds I wanted.
And yeah hunts do go like this but I’m already planning the next one lol. Yeah done a fair few miles, sat in a fair bit of traffic too but I had a good time so all good.
Thanks for the comment mate. Appreciate it as a lot of effort does go into the videos but I keep missing the mark somehow so wanted to do something bit different. Thanks for recognising mate. I mean that
Have a great week ahead 👊🏻
Your doing great, I love watching the latest video out buddy. The Mrs rolls her eyes whenever I say "ooh another Retro Smash episode to watch" 😂👍
Hey buddy great video shame couldn't get more but keep going 🤘🤘🤘
It’s how it is sometimes, I like to show the reality of game hunting as it’s not all I hit the retro jackpot every single week! Well not for me it’s not, glad you enjoyed it. It took hours to edit this one together
Wait so you stole a map and a manual?
I didn’t steal anything, I don’t even know why I said that because I didn’t even buy the copy without the manual and map. The one I bought was complete. It’s the part with the long pause at the beginning I didn’t end up buying so I didn’t need it
Great video mate!
Cheers mate ! Congrats on the 500 👊🏻
Nice condition liberty city stories! Can't all be winners, hopefully have some luck with vinted/eBay
Yeah man! I’ve got my eye on one on eBay but the sellers not responding. I will get it and than move onto finishing Tony hawks on the PlayStation
What about san Andreas on PS3 you got that?
That is one I need mate, £28 last time I looked and not in any of my locals so conveniently I left it off the list.
Yeah I didn't even know it was on PS3 until the other day...I'm trying to get it on the 360 but the one I want is a lot rarer as it's the one that comes in a Xbox one box not the standard 360 case
@@clizzle19 I also need those rare cases. But in no rush for that. It’s the posters I want because I’m gonna frame them so they can eventually form my game room which will be grand theft auto themed
Typical Dagenham, always missing cases 😂
I didn’t show it but I was pretty annoyed as I went there’s especially for China town wars. And the case was missing. There was also another that had the case missing too.
@@retrosmashtv it's a regular occurrence in that branch unfortunately
@@Wizbitsrandomgaming they said I could still buy the games without the cases 😂 shame because they had a decent selection but I won’t be going back in a hurry.
Do you have all the PS3 GTA games?
I’m missing San Andreas and GTA Complete Edition
@@retrosmashtv I've just got GTA IV, which I played briefly once and never again, I could never get into the GTA franchise.
@@YellsAtTheCloud-ir4ci I love GTA, San Andreas is in my top 5 of all time. But this is why love the gaming community. Everyone loves something different. Like Star Wars. I can’t stand it but lots of people love it. GTA 5 is a good one
@@retrosmashtv If I had to pick a GTA game, it would be Vice City, with the 1980's music, I would probably just stay in the car listening to the radio stations lol.
@@YellsAtTheCloud-ir4ci I do that too lol. But because I love drum and bass I listen to MSX on GTA 3 👊🏻
At least you got a couple mate. The problem with the GTA game is that people remove the posters for their own display purposes before trading them in.
At least they are very common games and you should be able to complete your collection soon 👍 Good luck with it buddy!
Yeah man, it’s why I need them posters so I can frame them. It’ll come. I’m in no rush. Should be completed by the end of the week or 2. Than I can focus on something else.
Stand more chance of winning the lottery than finding the map/poster in GTA games. I give up with that idea years ago, im content with just the manuals now. In my eyes its as good a CiB
100% agree but I’m like Indiana Jones, I’ll find the relics. Once it’s finished I’ll do a video showing my collection. It’ll all be complete with maps and manuals.
Amazing how hard it is to find these games complete especially with how well they sold.
Loved seeing the post it notes with the cheat codes on that last game!
Mate, if it’s not glaringly obvious and I really pride myself on this is that what you see on my channel is 100% real, it’s the truth. As video makers (I hate the word content creator / TH-camr) people do watch and are influenced by certain people. They watch certain videos of certain people and they think that everytime they go out they are going to get the perfect item. This is just not the case in most cases. I loved this hunt even though I was out all day, covered god knows how many miles and came away short even though I’d planned where I was going where the games were. It just ended not the way I’d hoped. I’m proud of this video and I hope it shows people that it’s not always Retro Jackpots, Perfect Game Hunts, Huge Hauls. It’s just not like that.
I’ve found so many with the cheats in, I keep them in there for the history of the game with any original receipts too.
I just need one more to complete the main games - than it’s the double, triple and gta 5 collectors - I’ll save for those.
Next up I’ll be doing the same but Tony Hawks!!
Appreciate your time Dan watching. I hope you enjoyed.
@@retrosmashtv very good video mate, editing was great and really enjoyed it!
Yes indeed not all hunts can be successful, and I think in the coming years it will only get harder to find games CIB as 95% of people, especially collectors aim for their games to be CIB, with CEX now doing with and w/o manuals on most of the retro games I wonder when this will stretch to PS2 games, even though it already does for the “rarities”.
Keep up the good work and I eagerly await the Tony Hawks hunt!
Find PS2 CIB and it good condition is becoming a Ball-ache
Yeah man, I tried to show all the game cases I opened looking luckily I only need vice city stories now. I am looking for additional posters of vice city, San Andrea’s so I can frame them. The eventual plan is a games room themed by GTA
Glad to see you walk away with something good in the end... worth the effort 🤘
I love a game hunt even if it doesn’t go to plan. It never goes to plan does it!
It was a long day. I was exhausted 4 different CEX and I’m gonna do it all again next weekend for another subset I need to finish Tony Hawks
Hello mate, I’ll be going to a store down my way tomorrow morning after work that has Vice City Stories, so I can let you know if if’s complete or at least has the manual so you could potentially order from the specific store 👍🏻
That would be awesome if you don’t mind. Not holding my Breathe on this final one.
If you are on Instagram drop me a message mate. I’ve got vouchers I can pay for it with. Just a few £260 in vouchers. Needs to have the map and the manual 😉
Haha no worries mate. I’ll send you pictures on insta. Heading there in a bit!
Haven't been into GTA for along time prefer the cowboy game I do agree the first two on the PlayStation 1 are better
Red dead redemption? I love GTA I’m currently playing through GTA 3, I do enjoy RDR but I’m a GTA fan boy
@@retrosmashtv Chris I Just went of GTA when they brought out Red dead redemption my friend hope you find all.
Unlucky pal. You win some and you loose some
Yep probably couldn’t have picked a harder sub set to try and get boxed and complete lol. But I don’t do thinks easy
@retrosmashtv vice city stories is last on my list for gta mate. I've literally just ordered san Andreas for the ps3 so got to start the hunt for a cib copy of stories. I'm like you it's got to be complete
Greetings Chris from across the water (Kent) 😜
Hey Shaun, yes yes mate. Just over that bridge for me mate. You know I got a ticket from Christmas when I went to blue water for that bridge.
Thanks for watching mate 👊🏻
@@retrosmashtv Sorry to hear about that ticket.Not sure if you are aware but there is a decent independent video games store in Herne Bay if you are ever down that way.Best wishes.
@@shaunrendall5970 I very rarely travel outside of Essex 😂 I love my county lol but if I’m ever down there with the famo I’ll check it out. I’m sure the family would love to head down to the beaches. Thanks for the recommendation mate 👊🏻
