I love PS1. Great recommendations.

Man, I love those 90's Game Informers. I wouldn't mind getting a few more of those to enjoy.

that game looks mint. i sold all my game informers last year to some oone on facebook

Nice bro

3:43 Devil sounds like Skunk (from Skunk Fu!)

I’m 42 issues away from having every issue, really hoping to find a good deal on Issue #1 one of these days but eBay has insane prices for it (the listings have been up for months and nobody is buying).

how is the valve holding up after 8 months?

I say good riddance to the magazine that Gamestop basically shoved down your throat every time you visited their store. I can’t believe it took this long to die.

didn't know game informer has been around since right after I was born. I have a ton of gamepro ,EGM magazines from the 90s and early 2000s but not really any game informer until the early 2010s from gamestop.

Ooooh, that MUSHA, I wonder if that's calling out to Captain Algebra. lol Kudos on the pickups, especially completing the Marvel NES subset, very nice. I was also checking for magazines and guidebooks, but yeah, it was tough to find any, especially that we didn't already have.

Just started collecting for snes, this is inspiring.

Congratulations on finally completing this collection. I've enjoyed watching you piece it together for awhile now.

When I saw the How To Use This Publication I immediately thought of GameGo! Issue 1. The Game Informer subscription was the only reason I ever bought GameStops power up card.

wow the end of an era. The writing is on the wall gamestop is next and then our hobby is going to get really weird in regards to physical gsmes. that first issue is awesome, would you ever get it graded

It kind of sucks it went under some abruptly. There really aren't any gaming mags anymore, at least for current games. Very fun to look over the first issue, thanks!

Damn rip game informer, I remember picking some up at Walden’s and borders when I was young

Good to see you at the con!

Man that Grail deal was so good, glad you were able to scoop it up. Those old buyer's guide would be fun to read through.

I've also been hunting Coro Pata for a long time, glad to see there's one less person out there competing with me 😅 great pickups, you had an awesome month!

i love finding those little clips of cheat codes or folded pieces of hand written cheat codes inside a game. that copy of musha is really nice. that dragon fighter and silver surfer are nice. the con was meh this year seemed Jr was way better imo i wish there was more collectors selling than a majority of tables being retail stores.

Wow that MUSHA is probably the best copy ever, that original owner extra detail is such a great bonus. Excellent grab, sir!

I sadly couldn't make it down this year to MoGameCon. :( Hopefully next year!

Wow that is the best find at vintage stock!

Why do you hate GTA?

Love the color combo with the red interior. Love to see the Greg fuel lines installed. White is such a classic color for German cars. I have a 1988 S4 Diamond Blue.

Really good

The only thing I don't like is that it's an automatic. Sticks are always better with a Porsche

I know how to fix it without changing the pcb!

Great. Thanks for the information.

i need to go to that convention in il. egm ealry ones are somhard to find . that game players looks so familiar i swear i remember seeing it on the shelf at schnucks.

I lovo promo stuff like that cigar cutter, thats a great find!

That Game Players magazine with the old school Mario 3D render will haunt my dreams and I love it. Happy you completed another subset. I enjoy watching those videos a lot.

I'm guessing you finished your Squaresoft subset on the PS1. That sleeve haul was an amazing deal!

Sweet pick ups. I still need to play Final Fantasy 1 and 2, I have Origins, just keep passing on the game.

Rygar poster is awesome! PlayStation cigar cutter is absolutely bizarre. Good video!

I always liked the US SNES better then the Europe one , we had N Converter for our US games , where you put the Converter in your console and had to put your US game in it and a EU game at the back of the Converter to work🎉

Hey is there a list showing every Japanese exclusive ps2 games because I wanna trying collecting every release but it’s hard to even find a definitive list of just Japanese exclusive games ;-; (also does Japan have the USA equivalent of greatest hits because that’s something I’d try to avoid)

i like ff 7, 8 and 9 eight has its flaws, but once you learn the junction suytem the game is fun imo you will like 9 its more like the snes fff games. you can still get gsme informer physical at game stop i was looking at one and they are flimsy and super cheap feeling

cheers, have you checked out Tom Pappas' new release? I haven't yet

FFIX is arguably the best FF game imo. Those Game Informers gave me tons of nostalgia feels. Most of the SNES game covers would magazines I’d like to flip through. Nice haul for a no. Travel month!

Honestly crazy you haven't played FFIX. It's not just easily one of the very best Final Fantasies, even rivalling VII, but also one of the best JRPGs ever made, and also one of my all time favorite games period. It's one of those 90's/00's JRPGs that demonstrate the best how big of a nose dive we've taken in AAA RPGs compared to then, in terms of charm, fun, soulfulness and actually imaginative fantasy settings. There's also tons of depth to it, with some insanely hard mini games (looking at you, skipping ropes) and tons of secrets. To be fair FF7 Rebirth managed to bring back some of that magic this year, and I was frankly taken aback because I wasn't expecting it to hit so hard.

FF9 is great. It's very much different and the music is 10/10

Nice to finally see the 928 getting the appreciation it truly deserves. A hand built superb quality car. Sure it requires some maintenance but when it's all done properly, it's a very solid car. Low mileage GTS's are reaching the 964/993 prices so they're not under appreciated anymore. Amazing, timeless classic. And 100% spot on about the wheels. Those are the best looking rims for the 928 by far. The GT wheels look really good too but those OEM 1987 wheels are not very nice. Cheers. And enjoy.

I love that setup man idk if you still have it but that is my dream crt setup and my goal is to build my crt dream setup this summer

its so dry here i dont even bother going hunting unless its a yard sale. i found that contra game at a game stop years ago and i was so excited and i got home and it was a gba bootleg. i returned it

nah even back then I would not have bought it but I did pick up a loose copy recently lol

Great breakdown, very appreciated. Looking to get myself a similar model next week so this was insightful

I like the "Tude" with this one. Fit's the 90's attitude era. I'd say its worth a rental to check out.

Sounds violent. My Grandma won't buy it for me if it's violent.

I actually enjoy the original Arcade version of this, good stuff as usual from SNK. I can’t imagine the Genesis port is any good however. The ad copy certainly doesn’t inspire me the way something like “Hey Punk! Are you Tuff E Nuff?” does
