** DISCLAIMER: I was not paid to make this video & nobody is compensating me for talking about their store. The Seattle area rocks for retro gaming and I wanted to make sure visitors know about them ** - Hry
Here's a MAP showing all the retro gaming stores in the area : goo.gl/maps/enQeGCAc1cmU5XeK7 - If I missed one, let me know and I'll add it. Thanks for watching!
Hi MetalJesus, " cool going to
have to go game hunting sonetime ", :)
Theres a neat looking Pink and white Building off 99 in Lynwood called Game-Xplosion, Idk if you've been to that one yet.
can you do a retro gaming store hunt in paris?
haha remember when seattle was a great city, now its just trash and riots haha xD and sjw with blue hair xD time to move out from these crazy leftie areas. haha.
Double Jump Video Games. You should check them out. They also have a CZcams channel.
Love me my Uwajimaya. Fun tour vid! I like how you also cover a few locales along with the stores.
I need to do the same type of video for your side of the state. That would be pretty fun. Maybe stay a day or two in Lake Chelan, my old stomping grounds too.
Dang John Riggs. Great w see you here commenting on your buddy metal Jesus rock's. Aka Jason
Metal Jason Rock's!!!
Yes
Huh
@@MrAgilla what???
Dude you got every mark on point! Im actually the one that bought that pikachu gameboy color at pink gorilla that you showed haha.
I’m going on vacation to Seattle the first week of August, so this is perfect timing for me! Thanks MJR!
Have fun! 😎
Take me
Vacation to Seattle Lolol. Good luck
Dang, I love your travel videos! 🤘
It is so surreal seeing just how many retro gaming stores there are here in our home state. I will definitely be taking some time to check some of these places out!
I'm from Malaysia. Hopefully, once I'm fully vaccinated, I get to go to Seattle next year. Not only for the games, but for Seattle's rich alternative rock history, plus it's legendary coffee.
Skip the vax and come if you want.
Plus, all the strip clubs👌🏽
Hi fellow Malaysian
@@caligee7306 You are thinking of Portland
@@Livnglrg lmao you are totally right....haha looks like you know from experience eh? Haha🤝🏽
Great video and thanks for sharing some awesome stores!
You and I should do this for the Portland area!
@@MetalJesusRocks -- Not the OR side of Portland, that's a wasteland.
Do those stores sell on a budget?
🤣🤣🤣 just kidding
DoubleJump video games is a great store.
"we have 13 stores here"
me: no i'm not jealous at all,why would i be ?
lol man i just laughing about if you have car line ...... regional North Queensland Australia if you dont own a car you are screwed 1300 kilometres to the nearest retro gaming shop
always fun to have these virtual trips with metal jesus, from Pakistan so I'm always excited for such rides
Hey Jason - mad love for how you support local retail stores - they can certainly use all the help they can get!
I could spend a week in re-pc!
You visit Seattle dude, and I'll take ya on a tour 🤘
Really great overview of the stores love these visits... keep them coming 😬
I really like the fact that you vary your content. Every episode is something different!
Glad to see Game Over games expanding out of Texas. I live about 5 minutes from the Houston location.
love the channel, been watching for a while and you're one of the few channels thats free of drama and hot takes
just a passionate gamers talking about games
Awesome, gonna check some of these out that I didn't know about. Love retro gaming! There are 2 cool ones in downtown Renton too(I saw one on the map you made)! One is next door to the retro arcade.
I'm from Spokane, and in all honesty, these retro stores are the only reason I ever go to Seattle. We have NOTHING here in Spokane. Thank you for the video!
I mean, we have Game World. But that's about it
We have 0 gaming stores in my area! Time to travel around the world and visit Seattle!
Recently got into your channel after un-earthing my original PS2 from 2000 and started a collection of games again - love your channel and I’m learning a lot about other consoles and games I’ve never heard about 🔥 Rock on!
Damn I just left Seattle yesterday! Haha did get to check out the small Pink Gorilla and bought some stuff
These vids are so informative and so much fun to watch! Thanks MJR :)
Glad you like them!
Wow. Thanks for showing the Seattle video game stores. If I get to visit or tour there, I will look at these stores. I put it on my touring destination places.
Great tour. Enjoyed the game stores and extra stops. I live in Austin and was surprised about the Game Over location.
Federal Way Represent! If you're going to Federal Way, might as well keep going to Tacoma to Super Smash Games.
Super Smash, very cool place
Excellent info to keep! and thanks for posting the links/info in the description!
I was great meeting you a pink gorilla dude! I got a bit nervous but I’ve watched your videos for a couple of years now and they’re great!
Seattle has been a place I've always wanted to visit. Some of these places will be a must for me when I go. Thanks for the list and commentary!
Everytime you talk about Seattle. I cry. Tears of joy. You have definitely made it one of my MUST visit locations. Hopefully my fiancee and I can come up with the money to go up there for a few days.
This is so cool MJR!!! Thank you for sharing!
Love the game hunting vids! Next, we need another I hate u series vid!
Or even another Gamer Eats with DMP!
Great video! I'm originally from Tacoma, but have lived in LA the past decade -- so all these spots are new to me. We got some cool retro game stores out here like Game Dude, but it feels like there's far less in comparison to the Seattle-area. I'm planning on checking out the Pink Gorilla locations next time I visit family, and I'll certainly add these recommendations to that future excursion. Thanks! 👍🏿
Love seeing my favorite stores getting their much deserved attention! Thank you for supporting our community MJR!!!
Almost skipped over this video thought it looked uninteresting. Man, you never disappoint! I skipped over the “pick-up” videos for years too and then on a whim watched one and was hooked. I must’ve spent an afternoon binge watching them all! Anyway, I need to get my sticky buns up to Seattle! 👍 Video!
I have been struggling last year with myself and had a lot of free time being home from work to recover. I always kind of stayed a gamer but there were periods…
Found you on CZcams and you reignited my passion for gaming like I was a teenager again. Helped me a lot to find my mojo again. Thanks for your videos and hope to see many more to come . Greetings from the Netherlands
Cool video! Really nice to see how it's like in your hometown. Greetings from the Netherlands
Coming back to this list frequently. I'm so glad it's still here a year later
Another Castle and Pick Gorilla are some of my favorites as well! Cool video!
Thank you for this great video. I love these store tour videos. Stuff like this is why I remain a Patreon supporter.
Thanks Daniel! I appreciate the support. 🤘
Thank you for mentioning Al’s Music.
When I last visited Seattle, I accidentally discovered Al’s after visiting Pink Gorilla in the area. The workers were cool with me and it was awesome to learn one of them is from South San Francisco where I’m from.
I visited both Pink Gorilla Games stores. Both were great but especially liked the two workers at the International District because they were very friendly and let me see their recent PS2 trade-ins they got. I was PS2 hunting at the time.
Very satisfied with all three stores and would gladly visit again.
Awesome video man… love your travel videos. They really capture the look and feel of the places you go nicely. Makes we really wanna go over and visit…haha.
These types of videos are pretty fun to make. Glad you dig 'em! 🤘
I really need to get my butt to Seattle and visit these stores. Glad you are helping out game stores get recognition
Thank you for being a big figure in keeping retro alive. Been watching you for years. Ur always awesome man!
Thanks man, just moved from California to the Pugent Sound. Loving it here! Good to support our small business for gaming!
I'm so glad you went to Al's. So many memories there, makes me so happy they've stuck around.
I love the arcades! These all look like really good stores. That blue xbox was cool! I've never seen that before
Thanks for this video, Jason. I just moved to the north Seattle area about a month ago and I haven’t had a chance to explore game shops yet.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Excellent video. I wish there was a guide to video like this one but for music gear! Very useful idea for the locals
Another castle is my favorite store to go to.
Friendly staff and a store full of so much cool stuff.
Love it!
Hey Metal Jesus! Long time subscriber here, just wanted to say I love your channel, your videos are always awesome, and Rock on!!!
Thanks for the video MJ! I'm over in the Wenatchee valley, making a trip to the westside soon to visit pink gorilla for a SNES fix.
Another great video thank you for all the time and effort you put into making a high quality informative video together.I love the travel videos.
My first trip to Seattle was in 2015 as a solo trip for basically hiking, craft beer, vinyl, cds and games.
Loved Al's, Zions Gate, Sonic Boom, silver platters, Pink Gorilla and everyday music. What a great city for exploring. Can't wait to go back one day....Cheers from Tampa, Florida.
i loved it, please consider making more videos like this🙏
You guys have it so good up there! Miami is practically a gaming store desert, so I have to live vicariously through these videos!
Awesome episode!! I'm on a road trip next couple of days, in oak harbor now. Will stop at a few stores before I head back to tri cities.
Always love seeing a new video come up from this channel!
🙂 Awesome!! Felt like I just took a road trip to Seattle. Thanks for the tour. ❤ that one thru Phoenix, Arizona too.
Nearly 20 yrs ago when I lived in Seattle, my roommates and I used to go to Al's after a night on the Ave and buy random metal cassettes to play on the boombox when we got home. I remember one time we picked up a Grim Reaper tape, and were rocking out to See You in Hell the rest of the night. Love your channel, and will def check out some of these shops next time I'm up that way.
I'd love to see more videos like this from you, even if it's not entirely game related. I've always wanted to visit Seattle and I'm hoping to very soon after I beat cancer!
Just across this channel loving it i love watching people look at retro gaming from my era of gaming sega master system and mega drive and Snes
Much respect from Wales UK
Ah I just discovered your channel. Love your material and vibe!
Next time I'll consider these spots! What a day to be a hockey fan in Seattle aye bud?
Get ready to see a lot of hockey sweaters! Cheers from Canada.
Man your an awesome virtual tour guide for your city, I saw another comment about vacationing in Seattle, and I'm thinking that sounds awesome.
Love your videos and your collection! I’m growing mine myself. We have some retro gaming stores in CT but have to do some traveling some time!
What a coincidence, I'm on vacation in Seattle right now for a month. Perfect timing for this vid to drop! Lol
Metal Jesus you rock!
Your the man metal Jesus! My love for video games came back pretty much because of your early videos. I’m not a massive collector but I really appreciate retro games and consoles.
Man, i love that kind of videos where you take us on a ride through certain (gamestore)-areas.
Here in germany Retro Stores or just „normal“ Gamestores are so hard to find.
You are lucky if the big cities had even a single one.
The most stuff is stocked on ebay. 😁
Many Greetings from germany
Take care 👊🏼
My wife and I recently visited Seattle and based on your video went to the International district, ate at Uwajimaya and stopped at the Pink Gorilla and had a great time - so thanks for that. We also discovered there is too much to see in Seattle so we’re looking forward to our next trip…
I love your game hunting video's they are right up my street. Hope to visit Seattle someday.
That was really cool, thanks for taking us with you!
Love retro game stores. I luckily have a Game Xchange where I live, but I could always do with more.
Loved the video....very informative!
I tune into to this channel for the games...but damn the standard of production and editing in this video is fantastic.
Amazing video and amazing recommendations! Even though I live in Toronto, Seattle is definitely on my bucket list to visit! Grunge scene '90 's was the best and still my favorite! My childhood idol is buried there Bruce Lee and Brendon Lee! And now since I have start watching Jason's chanel, love and passion for video games is another reason to visit some stores! Hopefully next year...
Pretty awesome tour. You should have recommended food places with each shop!
Love these stores. We need you over here in London!
Thanks for the video! It was a lot of fun!
Y'all are so blessed with retro game stores in the Seattle area. The retro game stores in and near San Francisco had mostly vanished due to high rents ... but thankfully a few have started popping up recently. There's maybe just ... 6 or so ... within an hour radius of San Francisco. Sadly! And they're only really accessible by car, which is a bummer because SF is so wonderfully public transit heavy that many folks don't even own cars if they live in the city proper ... convenient for getting around SF, but not leaving it ...
Love these kinds of videos and really awesome to see all the stores around to visit, damn i'd have a field-day, every day!
Fantastic video, as someone who lives in PAL land but collects imported NTSC games I would be in heaven visiting somewhere like this! Vacation to Seattle in the future me thinks!
YES this is the content I enjoy most on your channel!
Feels so weird hearing a content creator say names of towns or places in general that you're actually familiar with lol thanks for sharing these, taking all of them into consideration :)
Another great video! Thanks, MJR!
The GPS portions of this video totally reminded me of Midnight Club: Los Angeles 😊.
Definitely want to go to Seattle and check out all these places! If I'm ever heading up there someday, I'll be sure to use this video as a reference point!
Lol just flew into Seattle for a vacation and this video comes out. I know what I’m doing today haha. Thank you!
Have fun! Looks like you just missed the sun and hot weather...but game hunting will still keep ya busy!
@@MetalJesusRocks LOL Texas and Washington traded weather for a while. We just had 3 weeks straight of rain in San Antonio, which is absolutely unheard of for July.
Grew up in Seattle area, and its so cool to see all these places I know! Didnt know our area was known for its retro game stores, or how lucky I am to be near them all!
Heck yeah, I'm definitely going to be making use of that map! Thanks for the great video!
When the border opens...and crossing it is easy...Im going to make a point to take a weekend and drive on down from Vancouver BC and hit all these places. Love retro stuff!
I’ll be in the area next month! I’m hoping to stop by a few of these places for sure!!
I grew up in the Tacoma, Seattle area in the late 80s and early to mid 90s. I miss the Pacific Northwest. A lot has changed since I left. Gonna plan a trip!
Nice trip video as always.
Loved this video MJR! I hope you get to come to England one day so we can go video game hunting!!
Awesome video! I'd love to see one on game stores in the Tacoma area! ;)
Wow that awesome and I love the part of seeing that little dog that was real nice surprise to see!!!!!!!
I'm glad you included Big Red's Retro Games on the map. It's the closest place for me since I live across the sound from Seattle. Tragically the original owner passed away. But the store is transitioning to new ownership, as of this post. So I hope it does well enough to stick around for a long time.
Otherwise, I've only been to Pink Gorilla, both locations. I have yet to see the others.
I was visiting some family up in anacortes late June, and made sure I was able to get down to pink gorilla. Wish I knew about some of these other stores, but I’m definitely checking these out next time I’m up there.
Thank you for finally giving Al’s some love!
I live two blocks away and go there all the time for records, video games, and art house/b-movies.
Also I know you collect vinyl. Have you been to Neptune Music (right below the Neptune Theater)? It’s like half a block from Pink Gorilla and it’s rad.
Good call on Al’s. Went there this weekend and picked up a wonderswan and Dark Arena for the gba. 🤘
I'll have to stop in some of them game stores when i go to Seattle for Pax West. Awesome video's as always!
