I remember going to rent "Rise Of The Robots" back in the day and the guy behind the counter wouldn't rent it to me, he told me to pick another game, he didn't want to ruin my weekend 🤣 one game was all you were getting as a kid and that dude had my back, what a legend
I remember renting Rise Of The Robots from Happy Shopper. I put it in for 10 minutes…..we wasn’t impressed it went back same day and I believe we rented something else like for like.
I remember when they had stacks of them on display in the shop near me. Was like brickwork lol. It didn’t take long to realise why they had so many on show.
My first YT comment ever! Love the channel! Thanks mate, from the USA 😊 Gynoug is a legendary shmup, also just came out digitally on current platforms (Switch & PS at least I think). I think you’ll really enjoy it!
Thanks DASH! appreciate that, and honored to receive you first comment! Ahhhh man, I'm glad you like Gynoug I'm really looking forward to it, I'll be playing through it once I finish another Mega Drive shmup... Phelios. I'm not sure anyone knows how to pronounce it 😅
This is the tidiest I've ever seen vintage gamer 😂 nice to see Nick has put a real effort into reorganization, looks a lot better for it! Great tour mate, highly recommend you check out Retro Games HQ in Swindon though, it rivals if not betters Vintage Gamer imo 🙂
The shop is looking great. I was there a few months back with Eddie and it was what I would call organised chaos lol. I think being able to find stuff better is really going to help Nick’s sales. Gynoug is a belter of a game and you’ve got that at a good price I’d say. It definitely one of the better shooters that got released on PAL. Entertaining as always mate, take it easy.
Thanks Dylan, yeah definitely.... I personally enjoy digging through the stock but I completely understand not everyone does or has the time to. Yeah a few have said how good Gynoug is.... delighted I picked it up based on all the feedback. Thanks man 👊🏻
Wicked to see another video on this great shop. Was there yesterday just as Nick opened and found he had a leak in the shop gutted. Love this place and Nick is the man
Ahhh yes! I think this was one of my things that I said when you last did a video on this shop? For them to get it organised! Looks so much better now and easier to take it all in! Such a good shop. Still got to comment on your wicked games room tour! I banged on about almost every week, you put it out and I’m yet to see it 😂. That’s the way it is sometimes! 😂
Yeah it definitely helps Glover, I personally love digging through the stock, but I understand that's not for everyone. 😅🤣 hope you enjoy the tour when you get to watch it man 👊🏻
Nick is a Legend always done me great deals at events! Never been to the shop. Always herd it was a right mixed bag of treasures but crazy with over stock but looks like Nick and his team have got it all organised now so might have to come up for a visit. Great video Callum as always mate!
Game hunting heaven, I could honestly spend all day in here looking through every title, definitely take a trip if you can mate. Thanks for watching Dan 👊🏻
Thanks Skyway, yeah it is awesome! Nice one mate... the general consensus has been that it's a good game, I'm really looking forward to giving it a go! Nice one Skyway! 👊🏻
I was the first person in the store on opening day yesterday as I couldn't wait for them to be back open. I picked up loadsss myself tooo. Absolutely love this store and your right Nick is an absolute legend. Was wondering if maybe I'd see either yourself or Gemma (gebs24) in there? Haha now I know you got special privileges 🤣
@@RetroGhetto I picked up so much stuff, few of the bigger titles were sonic and knuckles MD, Dizzy MD, Toki MD, Home alone MD, then I also raided the bargain bin for loads of stuff , Saturn, master system, PS1 etc - probably came home with about 25 games. Your video makes me already wanna go back 🤣 .
Think Nick needs more stock 😅 That FIFA 96 brings back some memories, I had that on the SNES and the original on the megadrive. I think it's Ronald de Boer on the front with McAteer. Another great vid mate 👍
I was there Sunday just after you, I'm lucky enough to call Nick and Sean friends, was also there today, also the best gaming shop in UK in my opinion too.
It is Danny, definitely pay it a visit if you are ever in the area mate. Yeah Gynoug is one I have see a few times myself, but thisbtime the box art really pulled me in, if like me you enjoy 16 bit shmups, it's got to be worth a go! Thanks for watching man 👊🏻
vintage gamer looks such an awesome shop I love how all the space has been crammed with retro goodness, Jade loves the Taz games on the Megadrive its good to see you putting some focus on the the BEST 16 Bit console😂 Guy - Nog is how I pronounce Gynoug, dude Gynoug is one of my fav shooters covered it loads on the tubes a few years back its just so different to the shooters of the time rather than space its more gothic horror and mythological so right up your street mate, Gynoug was one of the first games I played on the mega drive bitd so holds a special place great video as always bro🧟♂
Thanks Scott, appreciate you taking the time to watch. Yeah it's a great shop to visit. If your ever in the Brum area let me know and we'll hunt together man 👊🏻
@@RetroGhetto the Ngage and all Ngage games. Mint box for fire red gameboy. Mega drive accessories. Then a load of low end mega drive, game cube, genesis for the collection. Awesome
If anyone wants to see some fantastic painted Mega Drive cover art, look at D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun. Absolutely gorgeous photorealistic dungeon crawling painting on the cover. Made me buy it when I was 13-13 in the retro games shop back in the day. Also the game is brilliant and very underrated. Used to be insanely cheap, is probably still affordable. No game has more hand crafted dungeons than this game, it’s got almost 40, and like 30+ are SECRET dungeons.
I was going to mention Cursed Mountain, but you found out what the game was. I actually have an extra copy of that game. Anyway, I got some pickups myself this week: - Death's Door Limited Edition (Switch) - Robotic Notes (Switch) - Severed Steel (Switch) - RICO (Switch) - Doki Doki Literature Club (Switch) - Mario & Sonic Olympic Games (Switch) - Cloudpunk (Switch) - Dusk (Switch) - Chameleon Twist 2 (N64) - Goldeneye Sonic Edition (N64) - Fortune Street (Wii)
Tanks Shaun, I understand that they run faster, but honestly... I ahvent really ever explored NTSC versions, my collection is driven by nostalgia, and PAL is what I grew up on.... in essence, its all I've ever known. Thanks for watching man, appreciate it 👊🏻
wish we had more of these types of shops in Belgium, every main stream video gameshop is dying or has already closed , and the retro stores are to far away for most
That's a shame I'm hoping to visit Belgium next year! This is why we have to support our local, privately owned game stores where we can! Thank you for taking the time to watch, appreciate it 👍
@@MugenLord_inNeonLights me and a mate are looking into maybe starting a shop in the region of "Roeselare" because all the game mania's are gone, and not a single retro shop except games en co in Oostend. So its a decent market here
Mate - apologies if I'm preaching to the Choir. But if you want to get better at bullet-hell shmups - get yourself an arcade stick. They're a must have, they'll make your experience 100% better than playing with a controller. A mid-priced one is a good enough start, something like a Mayflash F300. It will work on loads of consoles: 360/PS3/PS4/XboxOne/Switch and you can easily upgrade it it with a decent Sanwa stick and buttons later.
It's funny being fril the Midlands myself I never considered it the north. But yeah there are lots of great shops in and around the Birmingham area if you get the chance to visit. Thanks for watching Mithril 👊🏻
Nice few pickups Not been down to Nick s yet Might pop in the new year after prepare the wallet can’t visit a retro game shop with out spending £200-£300 More CeX lotto Think I speak for everybody cal when I say we need you back to 2 video s a week maybe 3 if you’ve got the time 😂

My first YT comment ever! Love the channel! Thanks mate, from the USA 😊
Gynoug is a legendary shmup, also just came out digitally on current platforms (Switch & PS at least I think). I think you’ll really enjoy it!
Also: nooooo idea how to pronounce it either

Love these pickup videos! Really interesting to get perspective on retro gaming collecting in the UK. Do you collect any NTSC stuff?
Thanks PG, glad you enjoy them man. No mate I try and stick to just PAL helps limit my buying haha. Thanks for watching man 👊🏻

@@fitzyclio93 🤣🤣🤣

Nice Pickups buddy....Dont sapose you could link where u get your snes protectors can u...mine look hell of alot thicker and dont look as good...
