Really glad to see these finding a home instead of getting trashed or handed to the unpredictable Goodwill gods! They look to be really well-kept so I wish you luck in finding a good storage solution. I know how hard that can be for big box games, ha.
I saw this an immediately thought they are in such a good freaking condition, I wish there were more people like this. And now I'll cringe more when I go searching around thrift stores for big box PC games.
I'm glad there are people out there who appreciate vintage games..most kids nowadays wouldn't recognize what they were..and a lot of these games would be forgotten if it weren't for people like you. My hats to you and your buddies, MetalJesusRocks
I recently came across an amazing find myself although not as massive as 600 games! Because of a connection at my job I got a box of 84 different games for several different systems! Atari 2600, 7800, Xbox, PSP, NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and an N64 Game shark that's a newer version than the one I've owned since back in the day. Best of all, this entire collection was COMPLETELY FREE. They've told me they'll likely have more games again some time soon and to check back, and since they know I'm a collector, they just gave me the entire set for free! It was amazing!
Before people accuse me of ripping the guy off, he was tired of people asking for only one or two games, he didn't want any more money - he just wanted them GONE. All of these games were days away from ending up donated to Goodwill after sitting for sale on Craigslist for a couple weeks.
You are one of the most kind CZcamsrs with one of the best communities. No toxic people, just a whole heap of people that have a commen interest! Love it❤️
Clint is gonna have a heart attack when he sees this. I can't believe he was asking such a low price! You must have put your foot through the bottom of the car trying to get there as fast as possible! Incredible. What actually surprises me the most is that someone didn't ruin the deal while you were on the way...
Carn. Well he clearly was desperate to get rid of the 600 physical games so he bundled them and sold them for a price no one could refuse. It be near impossible to sell those for there actual price.
Tiber Septim Yeah, a lot of people don't realize how difficult it is to actually sell big box pc games. They are rare, and expensive, and the people that do want them will usually pay pretty high, but big box pc games aren't that high in demand. It may be months before the game actually sells.
What really amazes me about this is that you guys can go on this quest to pick up games together and split the find. So many collectors around me are so cutthroat it's hard just to make friends with any others. Any post on Craigslist, LetGo or OfferUp and 10 people act like it's Black Friday at Walmart.
Aww man, I regret missing on this. I recognize that ad, that guy originally wanted $300 for the games a while ago, and I never bothered checking CL again for them because the listing disappeared so I assumed that it sold at that price. I'm kicking myself now because that lot had a few games I really wanted in it that are damned near impossible to find otherwise, and where he's at is a really short drive from me. At least the games went to someone who would enjoy them instead of a reseller though, so that's nice.
dude, i feel your pain, i live about 45 minutes south of Seattle, and i own a car, so for me there was no issue getting there, i just saw that listing too late, i should have gone on Wednesday to see the guy! but yea, at least they went to MJR and his crew, so they'll be well taken care of, but still....pisses me off Royaly dude!
Several people now have mentioned this is the second time the guy has posted this ad. Crazy! I think he responded to me because I was able to go get them same day and take the whole thing.
Yeah, I doubt many other people could have or would have taken the whole thing. I know that I would have needed to bring a truck or something and I'm not sure how many of the games I would even be able to keep in the house without storing the rest in the basement or something. I was actually considering e-mailing him about a few games in specific for that reason when I first saw the ad but decided against it since he was keen on selling the thing as one lot.
I live in Bremerton. I saw the ad on CL last week when I was on there posting something myself and thought I would check the games section. I saw that ad and thought MJR would love to have those, but I didn't really think I'd be able to get your attention to tell you about them. Glad they went to someone who will take care of them. If I had more room in my house I may have considered buying them, but man! I'd need an addition built on to my house to be able store that many games. I consider myself lucky to have enough room for my MAME cabinet in the garage. Good find dude!
My number one for nostalgia! Thanks for all the years! Much respect from London UK x p.s. How you don't have 1 million subscribers is a crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY CRAP!!!! You hear about a deal like this and expect the boxes to be crap but these were amazing condition! What a SCORE!!!! Great video MJR!!! Clearly a LOT of work went into this!
It certainly isn't ripping someone off if you pay what they're asking. You're under no obligation to do the research for him as to what his collection his worth.
No one ever said life was fare, if you undersell something due to your own lack of knowledge, the fault is your own. Just like buying something, folks need to educate themselves before selling. Furthermore, from the sounds of it, the guy knew the value of what he had but simply wanted his space back due to the games filling an entire room.
Rodney Jones: Except this is nearly the exact opposite. It isn't illegal and it isn't unethical to give exactly what they want for an item. Especially if they are a collector as well and can use Craigslist which means they can use Ebay and do a quick check on prices. The guy was fine with the deal, so why do you care? Don't get your nonsensical ideas of "ethics" involved here where they don't fit.
Epic Score! I remember playing and selling many of those at Software Etc back in the day. Daggerfall was amazing. I primarily focus on pre IBM PC in my own collection, but those are some killer games!
If you pay someone what they ask for something, and that person isn't ignorant of the value of what they are selling; it isn't thevory. As long as the person is of sound mind, it isn't thevory. What is thievory is someone like the guy who enountered my brother, I don't know how they struck up the conversation but, this guy took advantage of the fact my brother's mental faculties which were not that good already due to him having autism, but were made worse by the dementia he had developed along with ALS/Lue Garrig's Disease. I came home late from work one night to find my brother sitting in the living room, he seemed to be in a bit of an agitated state and when I asked why he was in the living room he said he didn't know why the guy wasn't back yet with his large soda. Just as I was telling my brother the guy who had promissed to return several hours earlier, I realized that my Xbox 360, all my Xbox 360 games, along with my Gamecube games were missing. Surprisingly, the guy didn't take my PS2 games, so I guess he didn't like PS2 games. All in all, I lost about 42 games and still haven't had the money to replace these game I lost 5 years ago. The fact a video game player would do this to another gamer shows how bad some people can be, so please don't wrongly accuse someone of being a thief when they clearly are not. Metal Jesus tried to get the guy on video, and wanted to get more background on the guy, and he even offered more money. The guy most likely tired of the fact he had a room full of videogames, and simply wanted to free up space in his home. The fact the guy didn't try to renagotiate the deal to raise the price when Metal Jesus and his friend went back for the second batch of games, shows the guy didn't feel like he was getting ripped off or taken advantage of.
Holy what the nuts... did he forget two 0's on his price or something? Seriously $7,500 would quite possibly still be a good price for that collection!! Well congratulations on the haul, I've said it before the best game finds happen in Washington, what an absolutely legendary and mythical find!
How is this guy selling the games at a rock bottom price any different then someone doing the same with a, car, sports memorabilia, comics, etc, that have taken over their garage or home? The guy said the games were taking over a room in his home, which I can believe given how many he had, and that he wanted all that space back. Most of us would have sold the games for a lot more, but if the guy works long hours and really wanted the free space right away; I can see why he priced them so low just to get them out of the house.
Games for a lifetime for 75$ O_O I have about a little above 300 games total that I spent thousands of dollars on, you got double that for 75$... bleach it is then...
Probably just I chose one you choose one. If either really wanted one that the other did they could surrender an extra 1 or 2 in return. It seems like the games he was really excited for were very different styles to hers so likely they didn't have too much crossover.
MJR is a passionate collector who will preserve them well. If MJR dies he will donate his games to John Hancock who will use them in his future museum. This is the best of places for all those precious gems due to preservation!
If any guy deserves this is MJ. he seems to preserve his games so well. Plus he seems like a nice guy. most of these games probably would of gone to waste in my garage.
Bruh............. The guy you got these from said he wanted to sell them and rebuy them on Steam instead.................... Dude much be rich AF :p lol
With the valve games, he can just add them to steam with the keys. No need for repurchase. I never purchased any of my halflifes on steam, i bought the retail copies. All of them on my steam. Not sure if that works with other steam games not owned by Valve.
I get a tear in my eye seeing these. Reminds me to much about when i was young and dumb.. In the 90's i sold my Amiga 1200 with a huge box of games next to nothing just to buy a 486-dx100 to play doom on.. (damn doom and the fact that Amiga could not do 3d.)
Just found this channel recently. I worked in a software/hardware distributor’s warehouse as a young’un back in the mid ‘90s and have vivid memories of most of those boxes. Ironically, I used an Amiga at the time. Clint of LGR fame must have pooped his pants when he saw all those glorious big-box editions.
American McGee's Alice, that's actually the nicer box to have with Alice holding the Vorpal Blade. Most sought after of three versions. there is another one with the ice staff instead and a third with the dice.
cartti i sell some of my games too. Im starting to have them on steam and is the better version. I only keep the exclusives for ps4. Also i sold my 3ds games and flashed the console with a 64gb. I have 55 games installed on it. The same with my ps3. I installed a cfw and use it as a ps1 with the entire catalog installed in it.
I saw this listing. My boyfriend was really interested in it, and shelton really isn't that far from bremerton. I said no due to the lack of space. I am over the moon it went to someone who appreciates games as much as we do. also seeing how many there actually were, I am more than grateful I said no I honestly don't think I'd want to try and find shelving for it.
you know not all guys are like that some are actually decent. besides that, he's got a huge collection it's just in tubs right now. we're also in transition of trying to find a place to live together. I'd love to let him have his game room collection once we're finally settled into a place and not struggling to pay bills but right now we would have had no where to store the games especially in a place where they wouldn't have gotten damaged. so, I'm honestly happy with the outcome of this. and My boyfriend isn't going anywhere in 10 years there have been bigger struggles than saying no to a giant game lot. I'm just happy they went to someone who truly appreciates them as much and not to someone who could just see dollar signs.
This is cool! I'll take this opportunity to express my wish for some more in-depth reviews. I know these take more time to make (and require, you know, playing the game, capturing footage, etc) but it'd be really interesting to hear you speak in detail about a game for several minutes, especially when considering all the knowledge and experience you've acquired over the decades. Sort of like the computer game version of what Game Sack does for console games.
Nothing but nothing beats Big Box PC games and simulations. The feeling I used to get, and still get, when I see them just surpasses any feeling I have for gaming now. This was truly the golden age of PC gaming. And we really did get our money's worth - not like the games of today where it's all apps and mini transactions crap. Everything about big box PC games was fantastic. From the beautiful artwork on the boxes themselves, to the in-depth instruction books [ which in many cases were more like novels]. Everything, in the vast majority of cases, was just wonderful. Again, compared to the games of today, and really, there is no comparison as far as I'm concerned. Big Box PC games wins hands down, every single time.
Love your videos MetalJesus! The big box artwork really sold the games for me as a kid because pc games didn't get much promotion on tv and I wasn't exposed to many trade magazines at the time.
Looks like there will need to be another game room tour and some more Ikea furniture shopping beforehand! So many games from my childhood. Too cool! So happy for both of you!!
What a find & what a deal. Glad they went to a collector that will love them and share instead of going into the trash. Glad the guy got what he was asking for.
You guys go lucky with this one imagine if he was trolling sometimes when it sounds to good to be true all the time and effort wasted 😭 this guy was legit
problem is the vast majority of his games arent on steam .. and the ones that are he will end up paying more buying the games again then what he sold his entire collection for.. i gurantee that guys gonna be kicking himself in the ass in a few years. honestly it doesnt make any sense.
Or maybe say to a mega collector something like "Did you know that you can get a cracked / pirated copy for free on the internet? You could just hand over your 1500+ PC game box collection for free because you can this shit for free... pretty please?"
Steam can ban you for no reason at all they banned me for no reason i lost my whole library. I never even played games online i'm a solo gamer. I had to fin dall my legal purchased games off torrentz with cracks.
11colavec Honestly why I'm afraid they bought stolen merch or something. The boxes alone looked way too mint to be legit. Hell as kids my sibs and I started PC gamers, and our boxes were ripped to shreds as soon as we were home, because the CDs all had their own plastic case witch saves space.
@@Openreality I wouldn't be so sure they're stolen. Some people make sure not to damage their things or are just gentle - all my N64 game boxes are still in near mint condition after all these years.
I would never be able to be a collector. I can’t deal with having so many boxes and games to find room for and keep dust free. Plus it will just rack up my anxiety just being around too much stuff. This was a great find though.
Hey MetalJesus , i'm so happy you got your hands on "i have no mouth and i must scream" , this is probably one of the darkest and hardest point and click in the history.. i'm so sad there is no remaster of this .... the box look so nice . i guess i need one now ...
You said this guy is a ex military? Man, I'm really worried about his mental condition. What he did is really not what a normal person would do, It's not like he doesn't know the value of these games, he collected them over so many years and kept them in really good condition, and he dumped them, there might be some problem in his life.
Alot of people since as far back as 2005 were throwing older 95/98 software and hardware in the dumpster. At 75 he did pretty good. I would have made a fuss at even accepting them without charging the seller instead of paying him anything.
Star Control 2 was/is my favorite game when i was a kid. Such a classic. I hope you got the map. It was kinda cool how they used the star map that came with it to make it hard for people back then to just download and play for free. If you didn't have the map to look up co-ordinates you couldn't login unless you got your game cracked. The cool part though was it helped you learn the star locations so you wouldn't always need a map to know where you were going over time. Sooo many hours spent immersed in that game. Great soundtrack, funny characters, interesting different paths the game could go depending how you spoke to certain alien races. The time limit made it hard to beat the first time through but with practice and walk-thru guides to download you could get efficient enough to do everything you wanted before having the final show down! There were also money cheats if you really just wanted to skip the initial farming planets for resources and have a greater range of movement early on. I would suggest playing it regularly first. SC3 was okay but still a bit of a let down compared to SC2. Damn I think that's the most I've ever posted on YT!
Congrats of the this amazing find. I couldn't think of anyone else that would appreciate it more! It is really great that you shared the spoils with Kinsey!
My god! Cyberia! That's so nostalgic! I remember playing it in 1996 when I made the jump from 16-bit gaming to PC. I was so impressed with it at the time!
Still own a lot of these games. Didn't keep the boxes. Just didn't have the storage. Eidos games such as Tomb Raider series had a unique shape. MechWarrior 3 had epic box art. I bought many of the legendary games in the bargain bins. Those were such great times. You really hit beyond the jackpot getting all these games.
Criagslist in my area be like "snes controller 50 bucks, i know what i have"
Lol right. GBA sp ags-101 parts or repair $40 dollars screen doesn't work. Don't lowball me.
"do you research" condition 2/10 $1000
360 core 180
Same here, terrible not even game lover
lmao I know what i have!!
Really glad to see these finding a home instead of getting trashed or handed to the unpredictable Goodwill gods!
They look to be really well-kept so I wish you luck in finding a good storage solution. I know how hard that can be for big box games, ha.
I saw this an immediately thought they are in such a good freaking condition, I wish there were more people like this. And now I'll cringe more when I go searching around thrift stores for big box PC games.
Lazy Game Reviews Did you came in your pants?
Like if you read it with the LAZY GAME REVIEWS voice
I know that one day I'm going to get a notification for the LGR/MJR crossover episode. Can't Wait :D
LGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR do a special with MJR !!
Looks like Metal Jesus and Kinsey found the real Steam sale! Congrats!
Matt B OLD SCHOOL FTW!
Except unlike Steam, they actually own all of those games now.
GOG*
This is comment of the year material!!
lol true but convinent

MetalJesusRocks you can't rip someone off if you pay them what they're asking 😀 Awesome finds, were any of the x-com games included?
You gave him what he asked for. His ad clearly states $75 FIRM
METAL JESUS ROCK FUCK YEAH!!!!! :D
MetalJesusRocks oh my god
You lucky guy! :) Amazing!
Thanks for sharing, MJ!

loool

You are one of the most kind CZcamsrs with one of the best communities. No toxic people, just a whole heap of people that have a commen interest! Love it❤️
Thanks for noticing. We stay positive on this channel, cuz games are supposed to be FUN!
MetalJesusRocks And they are ;)
John Flannigan Almost 100% sure that modern feminism is more about hating men than anything else.
+PianoSteve Absolutely, it's not about equality like it used to be. It's purely Marxist now.
Fox McCloud Too bad I am unmarried....
It's amazing how well preserved the games are, congrats on the find!
Im so jealous. Even though ive played most of them in the 90s I get that nostalgia feeling seeing those shiny box
Clint is gonna have a heart attack when he sees this. I can't believe he was asking such a low price!
You must have put your foot through the bottom of the car trying to get there as fast as possible! Incredible.
What actually surprises me the most is that someone didn't ruin the deal while you were on the way...

Oh I agree, but I'm pretty sure the "hand snapping off" territory would still be significantly higher than 15 cents a game haha.
Carn Yeah. If it were me, I would have done $125 at least.
What really amazes me about this is that you guys can go on this quest to pick up games together and split the find. So many collectors around me are so cutthroat it's hard just to make friends with any others. Any post on Craigslist, LetGo or OfferUp and 10 people act like it's Black Friday at Walmart.

i feel like 300 would have still been an insanely good deal
I'm loving the box art on those PC games. Absolutely gorgeous! That was one heck of a find.
My number one for nostalgia! Thanks for all the years! Much respect from London UK x
p.s. How you don't have 1 million subscribers is a crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Considering that a new game cost more than 75$ in Canada, getting 600 for the same amount is just CRAZY!
I don't know how you could split those without a fight
Paper rock scissors.
PoorBelfs hahaha definitely
Why is he giving her them?
HOLY CRAP!!!! You hear about a deal like this and expect the boxes to be crap but these were amazing condition! What a SCORE!!!! Great video MJR!!! Clearly a LOT of work went into this!
badGamr. You would also expect the games to be crap games that no one cares about like pong. But no a lot of the games where pretty amazing.
oh my goooooooooood.
Darryl Smith cats?
Darryl Smith rite
Darryl Smith alright thanks dude
PushingUpRoses whats good
I’d like to see your review of Noctropolis if you ever got to play it!
Amazing collection. I could look through the manuals of those old classics for weeks and not get tired of it.
this 600 pc games + old computer = life
It certainly isn't ripping someone off if you pay what they're asking. You're under no obligation to do the research for him as to what his collection his worth.
GoodOleJim and as it seems the guy who sold all this was collecting too. so he definitely knows about the prices. he doesn't seem to care.
GoodOleJim I think the guy just wanted a quick sale and did them to go to a nice home. Not ever everyone cares about worth and getting rich.
It's about ethics idiot. Lots of unethical things are legal, doesn't make any of them right.
No one ever said life was fare, if you undersell something due to your own lack of knowledge, the fault is your own. Just like buying something, folks need to educate themselves before selling.

Metal Jesus, luckiest gamer on You tube.
That is not a hidden gem but a hidden diamond.
All those games you showed at the end and I'm still drooling over the Full Throttle box you grabbed at 2:22
Good to see the Big Lebowski is doing well
Akillyeez The Dude.
Hey man 😂😂😂
Ya, his hair. He’s into rock and just one of those guys lol
LGR better watch out! MJR is catching up! LOL
can't wait for his react to this
Be careful, Clint might be out for your blood on this.
Hey Lee how's heaven
I wouldn't be surprised if he has most of these already, his game collection is sizable and he seems to hit up Goodwills etc. regularly.
Epic Score! I remember playing and selling many of those at Software Etc back in the day. Daggerfall was amazing. I primarily focus on pre IBM PC in my own collection, but those are some killer games!
Thief.
Is a great game series.
Do you even play games?

Social Media Meham did you even read the whole comment. He was making a joke.
My bad, my ADD kicked in.
Social Media Meham its all good. Sometimes i get like that too
This video should have been an hour long :(
Should do a long video showing all the games.
Holy what the nuts... did he forget two 0's on his price or something? Seriously $7,500 would quite possibly still be a good price for that collection!! Well congratulations on the haul, I've said it before the best game finds happen in Washington, what an absolutely legendary and mythical find!
VMR - Five Minute Reviews could be lying for the views...
Probably a lot more ! Specially if a lot are mint condition and or rare, much more
How is this guy selling the games at a rock bottom price any different then someone doing the same with a, car, sports memorabilia, comics, etc, that have taken over their garage or home? The guy said the games were taking over a room in his home, which I can believe given how many he had, and that he wanted all that space back. Most of us would have sold the games for a lot more, but if the guy works long hours and really wanted the free space right away; I can see why he priced them so low just to get them out of the house.
I said 5k easily, 7.5k probs around the mark
Games for a lifetime for 75$ O_O
I have about a little above 300 games total that I spent thousands of dollars on, you got double that for 75$... bleach it is then...
IIIRattleHeadIII Save some for me my dude.

You spelled Beer wrong bro. :D GAME ON!
@MisterDerpenhowser I'm sure 1 bottle should enough for us.
im wondering how you 2 manage to negotiate the split? i bet there would have been some fights :P
Probably just I chose one you choose one.
If either really wanted one that the other did they could surrender an extra 1 or 2 in return.
It seems like the games he was really excited for were very different styles to hers so likely they didn't have too much crossover.
What a deal! Congratulations :)
PLAYERINSIDE Anche voi avete una bella collezione di giochi! :D
"Best American deal in history"
Ciao ragazzi :) visto che acquisto ?! Che ne dite ci sarà anche qui in Italia la possibilità di trovare offerte così?
MJR is a passionate collector who will preserve them well. If MJR dies he will donate his games to John Hancock who will use them in his future museum. This is the best of places for all those precious gems due to preservation!
Remco Smits John hancock will never have to donate them when he dies because... well yeah ;)
If any guy deserves this is MJ. he seems to preserve his games so well. Plus he seems like a nice guy. most of these games probably would of gone to waste in my garage.
Oh boy has this comment aged well!
As soon as the JH museum goes live I’m flying to seattle to see it

when Jason wears sunglasses he looks like he means business!

He always means buisness when it comes to big box PC games
I miss the old PC big boxes the art work on them were fantastic.
One of the best channels on youtube, love watching your videos, ignore the idiots saying you ripped the guy off.
Bruh............. The guy you got these from said he wanted to sell them and rebuy them on Steam instead.................... Dude much be rich AF :p lol
SuperDan the dude is milatary so you know he getting them checks
Hmm I guess that does explain a lot!
With the valve games, he can just add them to steam with the keys. No need for repurchase. I never purchased any of my halflifes on steam, i bought the retail copies. All of them on my steam. Not sure if that works with other steam games not owned by Valve.
LOL "rebuy them on steam" wtf just DL them from piratebay, pay 3 times for the same game jesus :rolleyes:
couldn't you use more shitty teenage slang in your comment? *Bruh, yo comment so lit! U dank af dude!*
That's not a rip off, that's what you call the best find in the wild. He offered $75 for 600 games, that's it. No harm no foul. Good find you two.
SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I'm Happy to see all those awesome games go to a good home!
I always feel really sorry when people give up a collection like this. But for 75$? Once the regret kicks in this guy will have a meltdown.
I get a tear in my eye seeing these. Reminds me to much about when i was young and dumb..
In the 90's i sold my Amiga 1200 with a huge box of games next to nothing just to buy a 486-dx100 to play doom on..
(damn doom and the fact that Amiga could not do 3d.)
Just found this channel recently. I worked in a software/hardware distributor’s warehouse as a young’un back in the mid ‘90s and have vivid memories of most of those boxes. Ironically, I used an Amiga at the time.
Clint of LGR fame must have pooped his pants when he saw all those glorious big-box editions.
So glad this great collection went to you guys that will take care of them and appreciate them.
American McGee's Alice, that's actually the nicer box to have with Alice holding the Vorpal Blade. Most sought after of three versions. there is another one with the ice staff instead and a third with the dice.
Guitar on this video rips man!!! That dude is on fire.
That background music is by Ethan Meixsell. He's AMAZING! Kinda like Satriani, Vai and Yngwie all mixed together
pizzamon 79 +1 do you guys jam on utube?
I'll bet it was wife of seller saying it's either her or the big boxes leaving. :)
cartti if that was the case he should have chosen the games ;)
cartti, it's ironic because his wife is the one with the biggest box. Lol
Unorthodox savage
cartti i sell some of my games too. Im starting to have them on steam and is the better version. I only keep the exclusives for ps4. Also i sold my 3ds games and flashed the console with a 64gb. I have 55 games installed on it. The same with my ps3. I installed a cfw and use it as a ps1 with the entire catalog installed in it.
I think this is my most-fav Metal Jesus CZcams video of all time. It's just light-hearted and fun.
What I saw. One person breaking out from a hoarding problem while two others dwelve deeper in their hoarding problem ;)
Meanwhile in my city, I haven't find anything.
Ooooh nooo...
John Flannigan england isnt a city
GTA MODS AND SERIES. Perhaps somwhere there is a city called England.
Poops! I Did It Again. Metal Jesus Also didnt get this in his city either he had to travel a long way twice.
Tiber Septim, But worth it the long trip! :D
spent hours and hours blowing up criminals in g police on ps1 :) fun times another great series that could do with being revived
I saw this listing. My boyfriend was really interested in it, and shelton really isn't that far from bremerton. I said no due to the lack of space. I am over the moon it went to someone who appreciates games as much as we do. also seeing how many there actually were, I am more than grateful I said no I honestly don't think I'd want to try and find shelving for it.
you know not all guys are like that some are actually decent. besides that, he's got a huge collection it's just in tubs right now. we're also in transition of trying to find a place to live together. I'd love to let him have his game room collection once we're finally settled into a place and not struggling to pay bills but right now we would have had no where to store the games especially in a place where they wouldn't have gotten damaged. so, I'm honestly happy with the outcome of this. and My boyfriend isn't going anywhere in 10 years there have been bigger struggles than saying no to a giant game lot. I'm just happy they went to someone who truly appreciates them as much and not to someone who could just see dollar signs.
Annoying comment.
I'm glad you rescued them, they have good homes now. What a score! All those sim games..
I'm not really an old PC game guy but the covers/boxes of these old games have the best art ever
This is cool!
I'll take this opportunity to express my wish for some more in-depth reviews. I know these take more time to make (and require, you know, playing the game, capturing footage, etc) but it'd be really interesting to hear you speak in detail about a game for several minutes, especially when considering all the knowledge and experience you've acquired over the decades. Sort of like the computer game version of what Game Sack does for console games.
He is a collector, not a reviewer.
Sounds a lot like LGR - I recommend you head on over to his channel if you want actual reviews of PC games.
I also watch Pixelmusement for PC game reviews
Yellowblanka : yup, already subscribed to LGR! I guess I just want more! But thanks for the recommendation.
That guy definitely could have asked for more than $75.
According to other posts the same ad have been up for $300 but no one bought it thats why it was so low now..
its the price of having sex with ones wife....for him it was just a point of pride.
I threw a lot of my old gaming magazines away because nobody wanted them.
Christian Young
I still think he stole them and didn't want more than his offer. That makes the most sense to me.
Daggerfall brings back so many great memories. IMHO that was, and still is the best TES game. You could own a house, a ship, all kids of cool stuff!
fillibus11
Can't you do the same in Skyrim? I've only got Morrowind to compare to, and it sucked.
Nothing but nothing beats Big Box PC games and simulations. The feeling I used to get, and still get, when I see them just surpasses any feeling I have for gaming now. This was truly the golden age of PC gaming. And we really did get our money's worth - not like the games of today where it's all apps and mini transactions crap.
Everything about big box PC games was fantastic. From the beautiful artwork on the boxes themselves, to the in-depth instruction books [ which in many cases were more like novels]. Everything, in the vast majority of cases, was just wonderful. Again, compared to the games of today, and really, there is no comparison as far as I'm concerned. Big Box PC games wins hands down, every single time.
The condition of the boxes and games are simply pristine! MINDBLOWN!
this collection... was in.. my. back. YARD?!?
Daggerfall alone pays for that lot! Amaze balls!
I think the ad revenue does, lol.
Kacy DaGameNerd taking a break from videos? :(
*Great episode as always. This is becoming my favorite gaming channel by far.*
Love your videos MetalJesus! The big box artwork really sold the games for me as a kid because pc games didn't get much promotion on tv and I wasn't exposed to many trade magazines at the time.
Looks like there will need to be another game room tour and some more Ikea furniture shopping beforehand! So many games from my childhood. Too cool! So happy for both of you!!
that's a lucky get, at least they didn't get trashed, I hate those stories
Ross Robertson. Clearly the seller was a huge gamer and no way he would throw them out
Think of all those autoexec.bat and config.sys files that need to be configured! Good stuff!
Retro Game Players and a bunch of 2.5" boot disks
rip clint
A Name heh
What a find & what a deal. Glad they went to a collector that will love them and share instead of going into the trash. Glad the guy got what he was asking for.
This is easily the best lot of the year. Maybe even the decade. Absolutely amazing find.
You guys go lucky with this one imagine if he was trolling sometimes when it sounds to good to be true all the time and effort wasted 😭 this guy was legit
I feel like this could be a future strategy. Hey there mega collector you realize you can just get these on Steam riiiiiight?
problem is the vast majority of his games arent on steam .. and the ones that are he will end up paying more buying the games again then what he sold his entire collection for.. i gurantee that guys gonna be kicking himself in the ass in a few years. honestly it doesnt make any sense.
Or maybe say to a mega collector something like "Did you know that you can get a cracked / pirated copy for free on the internet? You could just hand over your 1500+ PC game box collection for free because you can this shit for free... pretty please?"
Steam can ban you for no reason at all they banned me for no reason i lost my whole library. I never even played games online i'm a solo gamer. I had to fin dall my legal purchased games off torrentz with cracks.
hi
"i don't want anymore money" - no one ever
the guy probably valued his time more than money and just wanted to get them gone for more space.

Honestly why I'm afraid they bought stolen merch or something. The boxes alone looked way too mint to be legit. Hell as kids my sibs and I started PC gamers, and our boxes were ripped to shreds as soon as we were home, because the CDs all had their own plastic case witch saves space.
@@Openreality I wouldn't be so sure they're stolen. Some people make sure not to damage their things or are just gentle - all my N64 game boxes are still in near mint condition after all these years.
2:15 Literally the first two games you pull are my two absolute favorite PC games from the 90s - unbelievable!
and they look EXACTLY like they did when I bought them 20 years ago from the store!
Holy crap, can you imagine being 13 and having all these games back in the 90s? OMG, I would never leave the house...
lazy game reviews just turned green!
I would never be able to be a collector. I can’t deal with having so many boxes and games to find room for and keep dust free. Plus it will just rack up my anxiety just being around too much stuff. This was a great find though.
OMG is that XIII IN BOX!!!!!
What an awesome haul!! Two round trips on the Ferry probably cost more than the lot itself!!
This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. You are soooo lucky. That's like $24,000 worth of games.
Who was waiting for half life to show up except for me?
same I seen that mint HL Opposing force box
made me hard af
Only in the US
Only in the Seattle area...
Metaljesuschasers? haha
Look! I'm a floating head!
What's wrong with these guys?
"Alrightttttttt"
Oil up and hit the gym with me.
Hey MetalJesus , i'm so happy you got your hands on "i have no mouth and i must scream" , this is probably one of the darkest and hardest point and click in the history.. i'm so sad there is no remaster of this .... the box look so nice . i guess i need one now ...
What a haul! I loved so many of those games growing up!
I would have felt bad and offered $100 for it at least.
Tom Franco
Yea, ok. It's easy to say that on youtube to feed your ego but in the situation, you would have payed the $75 and kept your mouth shut.
@@cadetrenew Not a fucking chance! That collection worth thousands of dollars, easily i would have forced him to take a rounded $100!
damn metal Jesus, you got Kinsley to split the booty!!!!!! Lucky guy.
Sorry for my language but holy fucking christ! That´s just insane.
This really is a classic. Love the adventure and so jealous of the pickup
janes fighters anthology was my favs growing up Awesome to see the janes series games again . And OUTPOST !!! lol . Amazing finds
4:40 Thank me later
Not sure what I should be looking at. lol
You said this guy is a ex military? Man, I'm really worried about his mental condition. What he did is really not what a normal person would do, It's not like he doesn't know the value of these games, he collected them over so many years and kept them in really good condition, and he dumped them, there might be some problem in his life.
I wish i had time to worry about other people
What you own owns you.
Alot of people since as far back as 2005 were throwing older 95/98 software and hardware in the dumpster. At 75 he did pretty good. I would have made a fuss at even accepting them without charging the seller instead of paying him anything.
You have completely invented this scenario
Kinzie you are beautiful!!
DaemonsGate in the bottom left corner or the stacks @ 9:20
Such a classic.
Star Control 2 was/is my favorite game when i was a kid. Such a classic. I hope you got the map. It was kinda cool how they used the star map that came with it to make it hard for people back then to just download and play for free. If you didn't have the map to look up co-ordinates you couldn't login unless you got your game cracked. The cool part though was it helped you learn the star locations so you wouldn't always need a map to know where you were going over time. Sooo many hours spent immersed in that game. Great soundtrack, funny characters, interesting different paths the game could go depending how you spoke to certain alien races. The time limit made it hard to beat the first time through but with practice and walk-thru guides to download you could get efficient enough to do everything you wanted before having the final show down! There were also money cheats if you really just wanted to skip the initial farming planets for resources and have a greater range of movement early on. I would suggest playing it regularly first. SC3 was okay but still a bit of a let down compared to SC2. Damn I think that's the most I've ever posted on YT!
Kinzie is so hot...
Congrats of the this amazing find. I couldn't think of anyone else that would appreciate it more! It is really great that you shared the spoils with Kinsey!
Even if some of the games in the collection aren't that great you gotta respect the artwork on those boxes. Great displays.
My god! Cyberia! That's so nostalgic! I remember playing it in 1996 when I made the jump from 16-bit gaming to PC. I was so impressed with it at the time!
Doutor Gori it was such a bad game though.
Still own a lot of these games. Didn't keep the boxes. Just didn't have the storage. Eidos games such as Tomb Raider series had a unique shape. MechWarrior 3 had epic box art. I bought many of the legendary games in the bargain bins. Those were such great times. You really hit beyond the jackpot getting all these games.
