Hey guys! This was an emotional story to tell because of how close the Indiana Jones franchise was to my Dad and I. Any of you guys going to see Indy 5 this weekend? Hope you enjoyed the video. Now go make some memories! Until next time.
Hit me hard,in a good way at the end of the video when you talk about seeing your father in the poster,and the silly adventures we would have, still a little choked up actually. Your videos bring great joy to people everywhere.Dont stop anytime soon ,good times, OBI John
That ending was really touching. It hit me a bit when you were talking about the adventures you two would have. I can tell your dad was your hero and best friend. I'm so sorry that you lost him years ago. It's great that you have all these memories captured on film and in your mind. As for Indiana Jones, I have a confession to make. I've never seen an Indiana Jones movie in my life. I may do a binge this weekend and watch them all, but it's just a franchise I've never got around to watching. We will see if that changes this weekend. Great video as always Tyler and remember that you're dad is watching you. I'm sure he's proud of the man you've become.
Dude thanks so much for the thoughtful comment. Really means a lot. I definitely recommend watching the Indiana Jones films, especially the first three.
What a priceless trove of archived footage your father left you to build this content with. Very few people had the equipment, the knowledge, the interest and most importantly the foresight to document such great memories as extensively as he did. And with this archive you have the ability to tell the story of a really cool dad who loved his family and help us all relive our own memories in our own way in the process. You should be proud.
You describing the way you played with your dad... god I'm in tears. Even as a sixteen year old I just remember the way me and my dad would go out on walks in the spooky forest (what i called this small forest near an elementary school) and we'd play it like this weird fantasy Scooby-Doo adventure cause that was the kid I was. Or just how we played our copy of Lego Star Wars tell it broke and we had to buy a new one (I still own that broken copy). I love my dad... its weird cause I actually finally watched the Indy movies in the past two days. I finished Last Crusade an hour ago. I was three back then and I loved playing with him. I'm sixteen now and I love all the memories with him I still get to make. I watched Deadpool with this man, I use a story about him as an ice breaker (at the camp he met my mom he made a bunch of kids worship a toaster), he held me when I cried during the Last Of Us show recently. Thank you for putting this up, genuinely. What your doing is amazing.
Tyler, again and again youve been able to bring this grown man to tears because of how you open up about some touching and funny moments in your life youre definetly one of my favorite youtubers of all time i hope you never run out of things to make videos on and i hope one day to watch your children do the same types of videos youre doing now, that would be so amazing
Whenever I see your videos I get slightly jealous because my childhood was NES/SNES/GameBoy games all along, especially together with my cousin (we bonded a lot over video games) - but there's literally NO recording of those times, so it's all just memories in my head. However, I LOVE to see your videos because they remind me so much of those good times, how our granny gifted us so many video games and how often I played them while being on holiday at her place or on the weekends when we were visiting her. Until I got my own NES - and then later on my own SNES. So I'm really thankful for your channel, because it keeps those memories alive and whenever I have a bad day, your videos make me smile a lot. Whenever you talk about your dad, it's really touching, one can feel the love you hold for him and your family in general. And that's so beautiful. Thank you for showing us these videos. I (and probably a lot others here as well) appreciate them a lot. Take care
These home movies could focus around action figures, or films, or any host of things. One thing that always shines through is your Parents love for you that fuels every second of footage. This is by far one of my favorite channels on youtube as it really is a guide to loving and supporting your kids and showing interest in their hobbies. Great Job again Tyler!
Tyler, I share the same emotion. My dad and I were huge fans of the movie. My dad looked a lot like Indiana Jones to me and I forever correlate that movie franchise with him. I was born 1981 and he sadly passed in 1999. So I feel your heart on this one man ❤
Man, this one hits. Your Dad was an amazing dad. I wish I could say I had memories like this with my Dad, but he wasn't around much. So the one to make those memories was my mom. I remember she and I dressed up like Safari explorers to go see Last Crusade...our own little version of cosplay before that was a real thing. My mom and my uncle formed a mass majority of my fondest memories.
Man, you continue to just knock it out of the park with your videos. All aspects are top notch. Great job, Tyler. I know your dad is smiling that enduring grin seeing you doing what you do.
I know how you feel Tyler, I know I've told you before about my brother. But the connection to the games and your past and your dad. Is very similar to how I feel when I think about my youth with my brother. I remember watching cartoons and playing games, we use to take our Electrolux vacuum cleaner and hook the hose to the out side, drop super bouncy balls down and turn it on. It was a like a home made cannon lol
Tyler the last part of the video hit me. Losing my dad almost two years ago I always remember playing Zelda with my dad and him renting Mario 2 for me. Like you when I think of those games I can see my dad in 1989. Got my nes for Xmas in 88. Memories like that hold so much to your heart. Keep up the good work
My heart goes out to you Rob. I'm sorry for your loss, but happy for you with those beautiful memories, and thank you for sharing them with us. Your father lives on just little bit in all of us as a result.
Hey Tyler, just wanted to say thanks for sharing your story of this game and the relationship you had with your dad. We are lucky to share the footage of you and your family together during happy times. Your dad was a great man and to be able to have the common love of gaming together and to have filmed it is very special. It reminds me of the time i have with my 8 year old daughter when we play games together and have that same bond. Keep up the good work. Big love from Ireland.
Please tell me why by the end of your videos, I'm completely bawling my eyes out. You have taught me one very important thing in life. Value your family, you never know how much time you have with them
03:41 HOLY RANDOM NOSTALGIA. We had those TMNT hard plastic plates when I was a wee lad too. Brings back great memories. Also, another great video. Thank you so much for continuing to share your amazing family with us.
You know what Tyler, I know now that when I'm watching you appreciate your memories with your family, I remember to appreciate how incredible and wonderful my own life has been, so thanks a lot for that🤔😉 I think we all appreciate it.
I love your stories about your family and just hearing about old classic games from you. I hope you'll be doing this for a long time to come. We all love ya man and this video hit me hard in the feels.
I really enjoy watching your videos I'm glad you have video tape of your dad. My dad's been gone for over 20 years and I miss him terribly. I only have pictures to look at. But I'm grateful I have those. I was 21 years old in 1990 just recently married. All the games that you show on your channel brings back a lot of memories. Now I play my PS5 when I have time. Keep doing the videos I enjoy them
The end of your video Tyler hit me really deep, your dad was such a great human being, thank you Tyler for sharing these videos, I love your story and your entire family. I send you a big huge hug from Argentina. When I watch your videos, I can stop thinking about my beautiful childhood as yours, playing with my brothers and family, and my favorites consoles I owned. Sega Genesis & Sega Dreamcast
Bro, you have me and the whole world in love With your dad, your dad is such an icon I wish I had a dad like you. I tried to be a dad like your dad. Because i'd never had a dad like that, you're so lucky. I hope my kids feel the same way one day
Your dad is such a legend, I am grateful youtube has connected me to your channel. Did you have the entire NES COLLECTION? I remember my Step Dad buying me a gaming console every year, I got the Gameboy, Nes, Snes, N64, SEGA SATURN. etc growing up in the 80s and 90s where the best generation. Kids now days won't ever experience the blowing into a Nintendo Entertainment Cartridge a couple of times just to get it working.. Tyler thanks for providing us with all this content, It truly is a trip down memory lane. And I think youtube should Archive your footage or Nintendo should add it into a Museum of Retro gaming history. Your dad seemed like a wonderful gentleman. I'd have given anything to have parents like yours....
I've been binge watching your videos because I love hearing about your gaming memories and your bond with your dad. It brings back so many of my memories growing up with video games in the 90's. Thank you.
I… enjoy learning about the 80’s from your discussions. I’m grateful your dad recorded it all…thank you Tyler for sharing these memories with us…I’m sure he’s proud of you, mate❤ I um saw one of the comments before this video I thought he was in the present but alas my shock and sadness. Loosing anyone in your family, human or animal, is hard 😢
Keep em coming. Being from Amityville myself, your family reminds me of my family without all the criminal and sociopathic elements, lol. Thank God, my parents were upstanding people. And we also moved to Texas when I was 10. But we went back all the time! So seeing your videos brings me back big time to going back every holiday and to stay on the sailboat we kept in NY so we could spend summers at the beaches of the south shore, mainly Ceder Beach and Fire Island which your family may have gone to also??? Your father was a very special man. You can tell he could feel your joy, and it made him the happiest when he made that happen.
Your reaction to "Indiana Jones 😔" is priceless and how many people I think reacted to The Dial of Destiny. "One ticket for... Indiana Jones 😔" but I really loved this video. And those stories of adventures with your dad are really touching. 😊
You're so lucky to have this video footage of you and you're family in the early nintendo holiday seasons when it first came out ! I'd give my entire video game collection of 1000's to have a video like this it's just awesome! ❤
Classic. I have 2 similar memories. When I was 6 or 7, for Christmas, my mom’s friend (who had absolutely no obligation to buy gifts for my huge family when she had two kids of her own) gave me a Lego set. My response… “You gave me the same one last year!” got lots of laughs. A few years later, my uncle who lived in Hawaii and rarely made visits to NY but knew I played piano and was into music, got me the hottest CD at the time, Boys II Men. I was clearly not excited, so my uncle took me to the mall to exchange it.
Had to hold the tears with those final thoughts. Beautiful memories are the greatest treasure we will keep forever in our hearts. God bless you and your family, Tyler. It's always a blast traveling to the past with you.
We need your intro back! “Watch it buddy!” Please bring back 😂. I remember my step dad getting this game and for the longest time I hated it. When I finally figured out how to play it a few years later, I can’t say I liked it much better lol but it isn’t too bad.
I had a similar reaction with an action figure. I wanted a Heman figure so bad and my grandfather showed up with what he thought was a Heman figure. It was a knockoff figure from a line called Sun Warriors or something like that. Of course in my little 4-5 year old mind I was disappointed and solemnly blurted out, "This isn't Heman". My grandfather wasn't insulted at all, he thought he had gotten Heman, so he doubled his efforts and went back out on another day. Then one day while at home he showed up at the house and surprised me with Battle Armor Heman! I was beyond excited. We were a rather low income family so getting gifts was a rarity, so I was floored when my grandfather did that. Now 40 years later, Battle Armor Heman has joined many other plastic heroes in the great beyond, but I still have my Sun Warrior figure my grandfather thought was Heman all those years ago! He passed back in 94 and my daughter passed at the age of 11 in 2019. I now sit back with a smile on my face and picture him and her in Heaven doing all the things he used to do with me. He was honestly my father figure, and now my daughter gets to enjoy his company like I did. Thanks Tyler for sharing your awesome memory!
I loved Captain America and the Avengers in the Arcades, so when I learned there was an SNES port, I begged my Mom to put on it Layaway for me. Months go by, I save my allowance, I get it home....and everything just felt off. When you knocked enemies down, they received invincibility frames...but you didn't. The music was botched, it was nigh impossible to play without cheesing through it, I was heartbroken. Then I go to my buddy Andrew's house, and he has the Genesis port, and that's when I learned that SOMETIMES Genesis did do it better.
The first Indiana Jones game I played was Greatest Adventures on SNES and both Emperor's Tomb and Lego Indiana Jones on PS2. I remember picking out Emperor's Tomb for my 12th birthday
I’m really enjoying your videos! Reminds me so much of my childhood in the 80’s! It’s videos like yours that have gotten me wanting to collect again ESPECIALLY Sega!
I remember my 3rd grade teacher introduced me to Indiana Jones by letting me borrow her copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark for a weekend. I also remember watching it with my dad. Such a good memory.
Wow. very touching video not a dry eye in the house. ToD was also my fave, the year it came out I was 8 and my mom and I took a trip by bus to visit my Grandpa in Texas. The environment there really fueled my ToD fantasies; I thought I was in another country! I remember we crossed the border and my mom surprised me with a leather bullwhip. I used it so much it began to come undone by the time we returned to Illinois. During that trip we went to a wedding where not only did I wear the whip on my belt but my Gramps loaned me his grey Stetson hat. It was a bit too big but I didn't care, I had a blast imagining my short fat brown self as this tall, muscular charming hero. That was probably the single best summer I've ever had.
That's some awesome memories with your dad! I played a quite a bit of the arcade version of Temple of Doom. I would say the NES version is a very loose adaptation of the arcade counterpart.
I believe it was my 10th birthday, in early '92, and I got an SNES. I remember when I unwrapped two gifts (games) my dad telling me "Those have to be back at the video store in three days." Good stuff. Love these videos, man.
When I was a kid I ask my dad for the Simpsons arcade game, and he bought me "Bart vs the space mutants" for the NES (Famicom-clon system)... I was super mean to my dad, I did not know English at the time, and beating up the first level was something that took me months of playing, the joy to finalize the game was one of the biggest achievements of my childhood. I was lucky to have my dad.
I didn't have bawling my eyes out at the end on my bingo card 😭 Temple of Doom was my personal fave of the series. It was the first of the trilogy I saw as a young lad.
Hi Tyler! The first three Indiana Jones' movies are in my top 5 movie trilogies of all time! Now, as for this game, never played it. (I'm an older game, too.) Honest kid reactions are priceless.
I remember loving the Indian Jones arcade game. I would play it every time we went to Opry Land because they had it in the arcades withing the park. I also remember finally getting the NES game and being really disappointed that it wasn't really that much like the arcade game, but I loved Temple of Doom and really wanted to love the NES game. I played it enough to where I really did end up liking the NES game a lot once my expectations of it being exactly like the arcade game where gone. I really liked it as it's own thing. But it was really kind of awkward and difficult.
I got my NES in 1989 when I was 10. I had been bugging my parents for a couple of years and had a Commodore Vic20. I remember opening it Xmas morning and I had one game apart from the bundle Mario/Duck Hunt wrapped under the tree. I opened it and it was Golgo 13:Top Secret Episode' and I believe my reaction must've been very similar to yours. I remember my mom going 'well, there were so many games at the store and this one looked really neat and full of explosions you would like!' I of course thanked her and gave her a big kiss. And Golgo 13 surprised me..sex scenes my 10 year old brain could not handle...multiple game modes as the levels progressed. Hard as hell. Man I love that game now that I think of it
I grew up with a single mother so any video game that my mom would get me for Christmas or my birthday I would smile. My mom knew what I like back in 1999 Pokémon and WWF lol 😂
Love your videos man!!! What a great way to start my day with some coffee and a ham and cheese croissant! Your video’s always get me in a calming and relaxed mood and make me so happy.
I miss my dad all the time, it's especially hard on father's day and his birthday. We had some good times but he was an alcoholic and died when I was 16. For all his faults he was still my dad. Damn we all gotta go at some point and leave behind the people we love and this video although fun made me think about the time I spend with my daughter now.
This made me laugh because I just recently brought up a story to my parents that I remembered. When I turned 6 (1997) we had my birthday at Jokers (basically a Chuck E. Cheese) I had all my friends around me opening presents and I opened the gift from my parents and it was Aladdin for the SNES…. Which I already had at home. I was like “I have this game…” and as a 6 year old in front of my friends I was not happy 🤣
Loved Indiana Jones as a kid, grandpa showed us raiders when I was 5, loved watching movies with him now I can bring my son to the fifth instalment. I know my grandpa will be watch with us from heaven.
I’m 43 years of age and I lost my father 2 years ago. There is not 1 day that I don’t think of him, my dad was a lot like your dad. I know we will see them again, but not yet.
I LOVED your reaction Tyler! 😂 I experienced the same thing when my older brother(10 years older than me) got me 720 on NES for my bday and my response was “What is it? 🤨” after everyone laughed my brother was like “It’s a skateboard game” 😂 Yeah that game wasn’t very good, it’s really the only game I’ve ever completely quit due to frustrating difficulty. I even had friends ask “can I play it?” I said “you can, but it isn’t any good.” I appreciated my brother with the effort and the thought because he knew how much I loved video games. 😊 Honest question, has your daughter ever had a reaction like the one in this Video Tyler?? 😊 I’m super curious.
This reminds you of getting FIFA 2002 instead of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on GC from Japan right after Christmas in 2001. You sent it back and got the Sonic one eventually.
I didn't play the NES game too much but I did like the movie and I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan. I especially like the first film. Once again thanks for the sharing the good memories Tyler, cheers man
Just discovered your channel. I love how you weave all of your home movies when you were a kid in these videos. Also, your parents must've been rich (or you were an only child). I had a lot of toys and a handful of video games. Yet, we had no video camera to capture Christmas and birthdays, just a Polaroid camera.
This happened to me on my 8 year birthday, my cousin who loved football gave me 10 yard fight….I not even like football 🏈 so it was more for him to play on my NES… but he did it out of the goodness of his heart 😊
Hey guys! This was an emotional story to tell because of how close the Indiana Jones franchise was to my Dad and I. Any of you guys going to see Indy 5 this weekend? Hope you enjoyed the video. Now go make some memories! Until next time.
Tyler I know it's hard man I just lost my mom last month and every time I see a show that she used to watch I break down, Life is so short
Truly is man. Enjoy every moment. So sorry for your loss!
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
No wonder this scene was cut from the opening credits lol 😅
AMEN 🙏🏿 GOING THIS AFTERNOON
Your dad calling you and your cousins the "nintendo boys" was the most dad thing ever. What a legend.

technically speaking Indian jones is the live-action version of scourge mcduck lol. I heard the Indiana movies were inspired by old DuckTales comics
Ok more of the story from your famous excitement screech WOW 🙏🏽your dad would be looking and smiling down on you guys 🙏🏽
So happy you shared this. Games are more than just playing the game, but also experiencing them with your friends & family.

I love that your mom laughed instead of getting angry or irritated with you!
You're so lucky to have this video footage of you and you're family in the early nintendo holiday seasons when it first came out ! I'd give my entire video game collection of 1000's to have a video like this it's just awesome! ❤
Classic. I have 2 similar memories. When I was 6 or 7, for Christmas, my mom’s friend (who had absolutely no obligation to buy gifts for my huge family when she had two kids of her own) gave me a Lego set. My response… “You gave me the same one last year!” got lots of laughs. A few years later, my uncle who lived in Hawaii and rarely made visits to NY but knew I played piano and was into music, got me the hottest CD at the time, Boys II Men. I was clearly not excited, so my uncle took me to the mall to exchange it.
Had to hold the tears with those final thoughts. Beautiful memories are the greatest treasure we will keep forever in our hearts. God bless you and your family, Tyler. It's always a blast traveling to the past with you.
I totally agree playing any NES game is a nightmare I bought arcade machines instead
We need your intro back! “Watch it buddy!” Please bring back 😂. I remember my step dad getting this game and for the longest time I hated it. When I finally figured out how to play it a few years later, I can’t say I liked it much better lol but it isn’t too bad.
I had a similar reaction with an action figure. I wanted a Heman figure so bad and my grandfather showed up with what he thought was a Heman figure. It was a knockoff figure from a line called Sun Warriors or something like that. Of course in my little 4-5 year old mind I was disappointed and solemnly blurted out, "This isn't Heman". My grandfather wasn't insulted at all, he thought he had gotten Heman, so he doubled his efforts and went back out on another day. Then one day while at home he showed up at the house and surprised me with Battle Armor Heman! I was beyond excited. We were a rather low income family so getting gifts was a rarity, so I was floored when my grandfather did that. Now 40 years later, Battle Armor Heman has joined many other plastic heroes in the great beyond, but I still have my Sun Warrior figure my grandfather thought was Heman all those years ago! He passed back in 94 and my daughter passed at the age of 11 in 2019. I now sit back with a smile on my face and picture him and her in Heaven doing all the things he used to do with me. He was honestly my father figure, and now my daughter gets to enjoy his company like I did. Thanks Tyler for sharing your awesome memory!
💐 🕊️ 🙏🏽 ♥️
Hehe you said Rarity
Dude ur channel is SO unique, God Bless you and your family. Not another channel like this, love the content brother.
I loved Captain America and the Avengers in the Arcades, so when I learned there was an SNES port, I begged my Mom to put on it Layaway for me.
Months go by, I save my allowance, I get it home....and everything just felt off. When you knocked enemies down, they received invincibility frames...but you didn't. The music was botched, it was nigh impossible to play without cheesing through it, I was heartbroken.
Then I go to my buddy Andrew's house, and he has the Genesis port, and that's when I learned that SOMETIMES Genesis did do it better.
OH man - I actually had the same experience with this game - Need to make a video on this for sure
@@MyRetroLife That was my nightmare for sure. But man, I reached the end of the video, and it made me tear up. Your Dad was clearly an awesome Dad.
You think that was bad, try renting the NES version which was a completely different and crappier game. 😅
I get sooooo excited when I see your thumbnail on my page 🙌👏. Such a underrated channel .One of the best gaming channels on TH-cam. 🏆
Got me tearing up your dad was a beautiful soul you were a lucky boy no doubt brother you take care and many blessings buddy.
The first Indiana Jones game I played was Greatest Adventures on SNES and both Emperor's Tomb and Lego Indiana Jones on PS2. I remember picking out Emperor's Tomb for my 12th birthday
I’m really enjoying your videos! Reminds me so much of my childhood in the 80’s! It’s videos like yours that have gotten me wanting to collect again ESPECIALLY Sega!
Thanks for sharing Tyler. Your dad was a really special person. You are lucky to of had him as a father.
Those memories of your dad are very special. I think a lot of us can relate.😊 I got a bit teary eyed at the end there.
I saw "Festers Quest" on the screen and it brought me back man... that game BROKE ME
I remember my 3rd grade teacher introduced me to Indiana Jones by letting me borrow her copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark for a weekend. I also remember watching it with my dad. Such a good memory.
Wow. very touching video not a dry eye in the house. ToD was also my fave, the year it came out I was 8 and my mom and I took a trip by bus to visit my Grandpa in Texas. The environment there really fueled my ToD fantasies; I thought I was in another country! I remember we crossed the border and my mom surprised me with a leather bullwhip. I used it so much it began to come undone by the time we returned to Illinois. During that trip we went to a wedding where not only did I wear the whip on my belt but my Gramps loaned me his grey Stetson hat. It was a bit too big but I didn't care, I had a blast imagining my short fat brown self as this tall, muscular charming hero. That was probably the single best summer I've ever had.
This is one of the best channels on TH-cam. Thanks again Tyler!
That's some awesome memories with your dad! I played a quite a bit of the arcade version of Temple of Doom. I would say the NES version is a very loose adaptation of the arcade counterpart.
I believe it was my 10th birthday, in early '92, and I got an SNES. I remember when I unwrapped two gifts (games) my dad telling me "Those have to be back at the video store in three days."
Good stuff. Love these videos, man.
Thanks Chris!
When I was a kid I ask my dad for the Simpsons arcade game, and he bought me "Bart vs the space mutants" for the NES (Famicom-clon system)... I was super mean to my dad, I did not know English at the time, and beating up the first level was something that took me months of playing, the joy to finalize the game was one of the biggest achievements of my childhood. I was lucky to have my dad.
I got Disney's Tarzan for the PS1 and remember being disappointed putting on a brave face, then i actually tried the game i ended up loving it.
Man, that speech near the end was incredibly touching.
Oh, is that Bubble Bobble at 7:47? I rented it once and had lots of fun with it!
I didn't have bawling my eyes out at the end on my bingo card 😭 Temple of Doom was my personal fave of the series. It was the first of the trilogy I saw as a young lad.
I bet at that moment when you opened up indy..i bet mikey and Manny were thinking "if he don't want it we'll take it!!". Lol😅
Hi Tyler! The first three Indiana Jones' movies are in my top 5 movie trilogies of all time! Now, as for this game, never played it. (I'm an older game, too.) Honest kid reactions are priceless.
Sweet and wholesome ending to your Indiana Jones story, your channel rocks! Good vibes all around!
I remember loving the Indian Jones arcade game. I would play it every time we went to Opry Land because they had it in the arcades withing the park. I also remember finally getting the NES game and being really disappointed that it wasn't really that much like the arcade game, but I loved Temple of Doom and really wanted to love the NES game. I played it enough to where I really did end up liking the NES game a lot once my expectations of it being exactly like the arcade game where gone. I really liked it as it's own thing. But it was really kind of awkward and difficult.
❤ I really enjoying watching these. When we were younger it really was a better time in our lives things are not the same anymore
I got my NES in 1989 when I was 10. I had been bugging my parents for a couple of years and had a Commodore Vic20. I remember opening it Xmas morning and I had one game apart from the bundle Mario/Duck Hunt wrapped under the tree. I opened it and it was Golgo 13:Top Secret Episode' and I believe my reaction must've been very similar to yours. I remember my mom going 'well, there were so many games at the store and this one looked really neat and full of explosions you would like!' I of course thanked her and gave her a big kiss. And Golgo 13 surprised me..sex scenes my 10 year old brain could not handle...multiple game modes as the levels progressed. Hard as hell. Man I love that game now that I think of it
I grew up with a single mother so any video game that my mom would get me for Christmas or my birthday I would smile. My mom knew what I like back in 1999 Pokémon and WWF lol 😂
Love your videos man!!! What a great way to start my day with some coffee and a ham and cheese croissant! Your video’s always get me in a calming and relaxed mood and make me so happy.
Amazing video 👏 ❤ thanks Tyler. Also loved your reaction opening it lolol
great episode bro. Almost 100k
Bro I know it’s crazy! Thanks 🙏 Glad you enjoyed this one
Made me tear up dude, Im sure you know just how lucky you was having such a loving mom and dad, I love your videos…..thanks. 😊
I miss my dad all the time, it's especially hard on father's day and his birthday. We had some good times but he was an alcoholic and died when I was 16. For all his faults he was still my dad. Damn we all gotta go at some point and leave behind the people we love and this video although fun made me think about the time I spend with my daughter now.
What a great video. Your memories about your dad and family are so cool.
Amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome family adventures!
I remember in early mid 90s still playing ducktales even though my family had a super nes thats how good that game is.
This made me laugh because I just recently brought up a story to my parents that I remembered. When I turned 6 (1997) we had my birthday at Jokers (basically a Chuck E. Cheese) I had all my friends around me opening presents and I opened the gift from my parents and it was Aladdin for the SNES…. Which I already had at home. I was like “I have this game…” and as a 6 year old in front of my friends I was not happy 🤣
Loved Indiana Jones as a kid, grandpa showed us raiders when I was 5, loved watching movies with him now I can bring my son to the fifth instalment. I know my grandpa will be watch with us from heaven.
Best channel keep ‘em coming Tyler
This may be my favorite video of yours. Loved it.
11:43 if it wasnt for the music i 😢......... wouldnt be teary eyed. well played 🥲
*monotone* Indiana Jones. 😂😂 I love the reaction. Great video 👊🏼
💔💔💔💔💔 what a story. I can't imagine how hard it would have been losing your dad so young, when he gave you a perfect childhood.
Okeydokey Dr Tyler!
Great video mate. Great Great memories and a wonderful family ❤🫶
I’m 43 years of age and I lost my father 2 years ago. There is not 1 day that I don’t think of him, my dad was a lot like your dad. I know we will see them again, but not yet.
I LOVED your reaction Tyler! 😂 I experienced the same thing when my older brother(10 years older than me) got me 720 on NES for my bday and my response was “What is it? 🤨” after everyone laughed my brother was like “It’s a skateboard game” 😂 Yeah that game wasn’t very good, it’s really the only game I’ve ever completely quit due to frustrating difficulty. I even had friends ask “can I play it?” I said “you can, but it isn’t any good.” I appreciated my brother with the effort and the thought because he knew how much I loved video games. 😊
Honest question, has your daughter ever had a reaction like the one in this Video Tyler?? 😊 I’m super curious.
Have you ever driven by your old neighborhood? I bet it brings back amazing memories. Thank you for sharing your Dad with us. (& Mom too!)
The most underrated game channel on TH-cam.
Hey, Tyler, this was very touching and a really great story!
I remember renting from the video store Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for the nes. I had a lot of fun with that one as a kid.
Actually a beautiful story bro.
Thank you for sharing your personal memories with this community.
(This one got me)
This reminds you of getting FIFA 2002 instead of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on GC from Japan right after Christmas in 2001. You sent it back and got the Sonic one eventually.
Thanks for sharing all these great memories with us all, these are priceless
I didn't play the NES game too much but I did like the movie and I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan. I especially like the first film. Once again thanks for the sharing the good memories Tyler, cheers man
Just discovered your channel. I love how you weave all of your home movies when you were a kid in these videos. Also, your parents must've been rich (or you were an only child). I had a lot of toys and a handful of video games. Yet, we had no video camera to capture Christmas and birthdays, just a Polaroid camera.
This happened to me on my 8 year birthday, my cousin who loved football gave me 10 yard fight….I not even like football 🏈 so it was more for him to play on my NES… but he did it out of the goodness of his heart 😊
This channel is so pure
