I had fun at MoGameCon picking up fun games, too kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIfZkoSJirCIo7c

[@thegerm574]

It was nice to meet you in person John. I was the guy who made the short of what was your favorite flying game and showed you the Jag games I bought.

[@catholicactionbibleonlyist1813]

my old house is about 15 minutes south of where Long Island Retro Gaming Expo took place some of that stuff that my grandpa (mother side) worked on

[@TheIcePirate]

Oh look, John brought his 97th copy of super Mario world😂

[@redmist78]

I thought I'd start doing a drinking game when he buys a game I've seen him buy a hundred times before just take a shot.

[@JohnRiggs]

oh man, Kings of the Beach or Anticipation you'd get alcohol poisoning.

[@matthewdixon481]

@@JohnRiggs Super Dodge Ball must be getting up there in count as well .. Needed a label upgrade lol 😆

[@biglou1938]

Met you on Saturday, thanks for signing my games! Love this convention, it keeps getting busier every year. Cant wait for next year!

[@JohnRiggs]

hoping to return next year, too.

[@iwaspaidtoflywithyoubatman]

Went there Saturday, I got to shake your hand! That was my first retro gaming event and it was a blast!

[@exodous02]

Yes, conventions are not loud enough, you need a brass band to go alone with it.

[@KeithPhillips]

Saturday had an INSANE turnout; the place was PACKED!! 😳

[@toddburgess5056]

Oh wow, UN Squadron was one of my all time favorite games for the SNES, so jealous that you got that!

[@BennyBurrito]

I was there! Saturday was crazy packed. But I missed ya Riggs. Hope to catch you next time.

[@Roger-fs5yo]

I loved that cartoon.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Long Island and I'm in NY but didn't know! Man you made it out like a bandit. Thanks for sharing your adventures for us that can't go. Cool video John!👉😃👈

[@TransfatylvaniaFilms]

Hey look! Puppet K Rool and Robotnik! Awesome seeing you again! Glad I could make an appearance with those two!

[@Hellv1n]

Great video, nice pickups! Game On Expo in AZ was the same weekend, it was insanely packed as well. So much so they are moving it to March next year and changing to the larger north building. Will be nice to not be there again the dead ass middle of summer

[@JohnRiggs]

Yeah, I had to miss out on Game On because of this. Looking forward to Game On in spring, for sure.

[@gr8latino]

Someone needs to tell that puppet guy that he’s not supposed to move his mouth when the puppets talk 😂😂😂

[@jefflindquist6138]

Great video John. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this event !!!

[@Mike-B-Jackson]

9:13 - anyone else see that CIB Mega Man 5? Nice!

[@insaneasock3156]

Moved from LI to South Carolina...I miss the LI Retro Gaming Expo

[@xdereksmithx]

Really great episode, Riggs. The video editing is spot-on; great pacing, great content. Keep it up!

[@itsjustagamechannel]

Now that is one show I wish I didn’t have to miss! 😢

[@RussLyman]

looked a great time. I never been to this convention before. I'll have to see if I can make it next year. Pretty close to me. Man you got some great pick ups. That Duck Tales 2 is sweet. Plus all those awesome SNES games for the win

[@DaveControlLive]

I love Duck Tales 2. Was so excited when I finally picked up a copy!

[@JohnRiggs]

it helps that it's a legit good game, too, unlike other heavies like Wayne's World or Swamp Thing.

[@DaveControlLive]

Right?? I played it again immediately when I picked it up, and enjoyed it just as much. The next one on my list is Felix the Cat, which I'm hoping holds up.@@JohnRiggs

[@JohnRiggs]

Holds up very well. A little on the easy side, but great.

[@Depeeps1616]

I absolutely love Gaia. I rented so much growing up. Ended up buying a copy last year.

[@JenniferStratton-pz3op]

Awesome score! I just got back into collecting/playing NES about 6 months ago. Kinda sad to see NES games going for so much... knowing some prices are getting crazy expensive. Happy i got the first DuckTales, its still reasonable priced. But Duck Tales 2 is probably left in my memories.. Maybe someday I'll get lucky.. :) Thanks for sharing!

[@Tayra_Reberta]

Retro Game Cases does replacement labels as well if you want replacement labels. They are actually pretty good labels, I would like them to do replacement manuals as well. The cases that they have the manuals works well to protect the games in the case

[@drivethrujedi83]

I buy those Anchor chips a lot. They are amazingly good. I get them at Wegmans in Syracuse NY

[@thegerm574]

UN Squadron was awesome I got a copy free out of a free box next to the road 2 years ago.

[@darylbest7980]

The prices I gave John does not normally reflect what I normally sell my extra games for. I payed it forward to him and others for content they make for the community. That needs to be reflected .

[@jaxxonvideogameresale]

Great video 😊

[@n8ivegogo1]

I love Green Dinks, I never understood why Sun people call it “Swamp Water” ⁉️🤦‍♂️ Castlevania on the X6800 is soooo fun to play but my gawd is it HARD 😬 But I LOVE these Convention vids as I have yet to actually go to one lol Might try to make the next PRGE as it would only be a few hour drive!

[@justins4814]

My goodness those snes pickups are nuts!

[@tylerpemberton3134]

Soul of the samurai games are underated legends

[@thumbtacos4307]

For how consistent you are as a creator I’m surprised you haven’t tried live-streaming here on KZbin. Just a thought. Twitch is ok to.

[@michaeldemers2716]

Awww, snap Son. I have been looking for a Beach Hyperkin Supa Boy to go with my Super Gameboy 2. What a great find.

[@TurboSax]

Hell yeah, UN Squadron. I totally agree, best shooter on the SNES. The OVA is based on is pretty good too.

[@__tengu__]

ALWAYS buy The Ping Pong Club VHS's, I have quite the collection now. HEHEHEHE

[@CaptFwiffo]

I missed you by 30 min on Sunday. 😭😭Hope to catch you in Syracuse if I can go...🙏.

[@JohnRiggs]

lame! Yeah, I was there all day Friday and Saturday but had an afternoon flight Sunday so I could get back to work on Monday.

[@StusGameReviews]

It was great to see you John!

[@JohnRiggs]

always good to see you.

[@MrWrightWay]

That was quick!! I like it

[@JohnRiggs]

and still had to wait a day for the sponsor approval :)

[@darylbest7980]

I didn't expect out this fast. Lol

[@MrWrightWay]

@@JohnRiggs ha and knowing is half the battle.

[@TL....]

i had the nostalgia bug some years ago as well, filled shelves with sierra games, dos games, nintengo, sega master system, vhs movies, laserdiscs etc etc spent over $80,000 then realized whats the point when its all just sitting on shelves collecting dust

[@jimsoczka9668]

Raiden 3 Mikado Remix is awesome! I actually got it before we bought our switch at a late date.

[@galadriusthemighty]

Just wait till you see what you find at Free Play Florida. :D

[@ultramaximusreviews]

Looks like fun

[@thegerm574]

I was looking for a copy of Duck Tails 2 the vendor next to you had one CIB for $350

[@deriklarue8433]

Those are amazing pickups

[@treedeblue]

Pat the punk looks like a piece of work that guy! 😂

[@peacefusion]

This video should have x10 the views.

[@CarlDelinden]

Final Fantasy IV > FiFan VI !!!! I knew you were one who understood the truth of knowledge in this world!!!

Enjoy The LI Retro Expo/Convention John Riggs I’m Originally From Hewlett Harbor Nassau County Long Island New York A Good Gaming Spot Is Video Game Trading Post In That Area

[@mtshark7]

Nice deals John!

[@Gamechangermods]

good to see you!

[@JohnRiggs]

always!

[@HippieMumboJumbo]

Some day he will learn that its not called “Price charter.” Some day…

[@JohnRiggs]

but not today.

[@hardkoregamer1981]

Or any of the other games in the elite series?@John Riggs

[@redmist78]

I like those video game magnets but I didn't see who the vendor was.

[@JohnRiggs]

Canvas Quest! They have an etsy and show up at some conventions. www.etsy.com/shop/CanvasQuestArt

[@gregoriocruz4530]

I think Tengen made a better Ms Pac-Man for the NES. The Midway SNES version is the same as the NES Tengen, but looks nicer.

[@christian752]

Your in my? You might like a retro store in the city called 8Bit and up

[@julianf147]

You had a ghost buster cartridge for sale I’m interesting on buying from you….we met that sat I said you was tall in person

[@rubenmejia4881]

I can't believe I missed it. I so wanted to go! I was talking to Gary from Roxolid Productions, and he told me that he didn't get invited. I wanted to ask you who I have to talk to in order to get him over there?

[@JohnRiggs]

they may have a 'contact us' section on their site, but even just leaving polite comments on their social media requesting him be a guest can do wonders.

[@broncosbreaks]

Guess where the next episode of “open cart surgery” comes from

[@TimothySmiths]

No offense to the live band but that is obnoxious to have in an enclosed space like that during a convention.

[@JohnRiggs]

oddly enough, where it was makes sense as it's not too bad when you're shopping downstairs (Where most were)

[@NESbrownbearhugs]

Hope you didn't play over $250 for DuckTales 2. 😮😮😮

[@cherokeefit4248]

I noticed eBay has snes games at cheaper prices. Maybe inflation is making collectors sell games fast?

[@JohnRiggs]

Always about making deals.

[@timslauzis8589]

i have ping pong club!!!!!!!!!!

[@AJTComicsBrand]

overpriced usa cons.

[@lap456]

Ya 1 to don't like the 2DS. Oddy wean Nintendo fan boy bro got me an 3DS I did the samething i did with Wii he give me. Not being abull to return it it just sat in the box unussed out of site. I did the samething with a canon pirnter becuase my mom and dad cared more about ptoho pirnting then saving money on ink; wille was willing to safeace the ptoho pirnting to save money on ink since I don't use that option and they knew that before they got it for. Forexupll bro by the way got me that Wii konwing I whated an PS3 becuase he didn't care about Blu-ray.

[@Dessan01]

No way a racist comment, but there’s always one Chinese dude still waring a Covid mask, despite the fact it was their country nearly turned the rest of the world into a giant raccoon city 😂

[@hardkoregamer1981]

Have you ever played the 1984 space trading video game Elite that was written and developed by David Braben and Ian Bell that was originally published by Acornsoft for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron computers?@John Riggs

[@Brandon-qe8mi]

I went all 3 days and it was awesome, didn’t quite get the chance to say hello to you but I’ll definitely be there next year !
