That pistol in the first game is called a Wellrod, it's a real weapon.

[@retrogamingmad]

Is it really? Wow didn't know that thank you. Appreciate your comment

[@HawkHooves]

​@retrogamingmad one of the worlds, if not the world's first suppressed (silent) pistols. Made by the British for secret operations in WW2

[@SirDankleberry]

​@@HawkHoovesThe 1895 Nagant revolver could be silenced.

[@quitefranklyjosh]

@@SirDankleberry Yes, but the Wellrod was 100% self contained and purpose built to be a suppressed weapon 100% of the time. It's not the same as slapping a "suppresser/silencer" on the end of a revolver. The open chamber (where the cartridges are loaded) still allows for gas (from the round being fired) to escape even when suppressed. Meaning it made for a VERY poor discrete weapon.

[@quandrixtwincaster5738]

Wow. Finally a KZbin video of games I've "never seen before" that actually delivers. I was a huge PS2 guy and I hadn't even seen the cases for one of these games before.

[@retrogamingmad]

Cheers. The PS2 is still a great console. I look for games that I've never seen before and try and experience them for the first time. Hopefully I'll find some more.

[@Heffy_Boi]

Always love testing my knowledge on massive libraries such as the PS2's. 2 out of 5 games I hadn't heard of or seen until you brought them to my attention is rather impressive so good on ya!

[@zgaf5jah]

I miss 2008 , 2009 , the best time of my life . My PS2 , at home alone all afternoon , I could play whatever I wanted . The sixth generation is absolutely amazing.

[@retrogamingmad]

sounds like heaven

[@daddiodizzle8990]

Cold Winter... 15 point rendering. After the first level, they unlock the dismembering mechanic. Offline split screen with bots. Highly customizable...Supply Crafting. Worth the view just for a reminder of my good old days, offline, in a cabin in the woods.

[@joshuameraz5391]

I have Cold Winter. It's one of my favorite PS2 shooters. One day I was showing a friend my collection and he had never heard of it. It's definitely a hidden gem.

[@retrogamingmad]

I hope so. Not played it yet but plan to. Cheers

[@retrogamingmad]

I had no idea that the PlayStation 2 would get so much love on this video. Thanks fellas

[@insanecow11]

Cold Winter is really good in my opinion, I've always considered it to be a hidden gem. It's definitely worth a further look. It just kind of got lost in the shuffle of game releases I suppose. I remember liking Hidden Invasion even though I knew it was crap haha

[@paluxyl.8682]

Scaler looks a little like Gex Gecko, the Gex games was my favorite 3d jump and runs on the PS1.

[@starforce1310]

Your voice is so relaxing, you need more subscribers

[@retrogamingmad]

Thank you😀

[@adrielstout6844]

I heard of the last two games but never played them and I've seen them when I was a teen back in the PS2 era.

[@waynechadwick362]

Coldwinter is a hidden gem it is a banger 👌

[@GenerationPixel]

Scaler and Cold Winter, I've got both of those. I've played a bit of Scaler, it's a decent Ratchet and Clank clone. Cold Winter is sitting on the backlog. I'd love to visit Doorway to Dorkness, but living in Glasgow, it's a bit of a trek 😂 Nice to see a fellow old boy PS2 fan on KZbin 😎👍

[@retrogamingmad]

Shame you aren't closer because Doorway 2 Dorkness is an amazing place. Thanks for you kind comment. Keep gaming 👍

[@paxhumana2015]

@@retrogamingmad , are Scaler and Doorway to Darkness available in the NTSB-U region as well?

[@retrogamingmad]

@@paxhumana2015 I've no idea tbh mate.

Hi new viewer here. Could you raise the volume of your voice more in the next video? Great video.

[@retrogamingmad]

ill do my best

[@KaliU-ix2kf]

Great game ❤ Masterpiece

[@Mountain_DewdX7]

This is insane - I got recommended this video and thought I recognized you 😅 I've spoken to you before a few times in that now closed local games store. Crazy! Anyway good to see the vids done well, I'll sub to see more 👍

[@retrogamingmad]

Hi mate how's it going? Small world. Are you talking Andys shop? Shame that went. Are you still buying games? If so have you been to Doorway 2 Dorkness in Doncaster? An amazing place for gaming. Thanks for the sub, appreciate it. Loads more to come.

[@Mountain_DewdX7]

@@retrogamingmad yep that's the one. I know right, crazy! And yeah I still buy games, mainly across PlayStation. I haven't been before but I've seen videos of it, looks like a great little shop. Do you collect a bit of everything still or are you trying to do another purge lol.

[@retrogamingmad]

@@Mountain_DewdX7 Xbox 360, PS2 and og Xbox nowadays. Oh and some new stuff.

[@jainee4507]

I'm surprised to have not known about Scaler. It doesnt even look like a budget game. I'll add it to my PS2 backlog.

[@retrogamingmad]

it's a good game mixed from lots of games imo. I really like it. It's not quite as polished as same Spyro , but still good. Also available on the Gamecube I've recently discovered. 👍

[@ertlexpress]

Holy crap Scaler!, For the longest time I thought it was some strange fever dream I had when I was 5.

[@TestamentFromTheForest]

I managed to run WWII Soldier on a PS2 emulator at stable 60FPS by overclocking my virtual PS2’s CPU by 300%. Now I can call it playable :) Got interested in these games after watching your video. By the way, the latter is made by the same devs behind SAS/GSG9/GIGN Anti-Terror Force. Nice retro gaming content, btw. Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your videos and listening to your stories.

[@retrogamingmad]

Thanks very much. I'm always on the look out for games I've not seen before. As an older gamer I tend to think that I've seen them all, but there's always a surprise in the works and it's nearly always enjoyable. Thanks for you comment

[@user-uw7rs4ww9h]

actually had that first game in my collection fortunately it wouldn't load.anyway subbed

[@petergare4766]

Coldwinter was great! The online multiplayer with the headset was fun. It felt like the spiritual successor to Goldeneye.

[@retrogamingmad]

looking forwards to playing it

[@Blingchachink]

COld Winter!

[@InsanityPrevails]

Surprisingly interesting video as you're right, I really hadn't heard of any of these!

[@Urine666Deity]

I just found a gem of a channel lol i wish you had talked more about McDonalds

[@retrogamingmad]

Thanks. McDonalds seems to feature in most of my videos lol

[@Jakthearab]

Love your channel

appreciate the comment , thank you

Good video and I subscribe

[@retrogamingmad]

Thanks fella😀

[@wrestlingcawsmore6159]

Yes I heard of cold winter I bought it and I also found out a friend of mine bought a copy too around the same time

[@zgaf5jah]

Cold winter has a sick gore , shooting enemies is absolutely satisfying, you can almost feel the impact of the bullets . Poor plot , but good action game

[@wrestlingcawsmore6159]

@@zgaf5jah yeah but when his partner died That sucked I kinda like her then she gets killed

[@danielmclaughlin2190]

knew scaler, thats about it, cool wee video!

[@retrogamingmad]

Cheers fella

[@user-jx7dr5yc9l]

Thank you

[@Skelentor]

Coldwinter is a pretty good game, its actually probably one of the better FPS games on the console. You should give it a shot if you have the time.

[@retrogamingmad]

Have plans to thanks

[@jaygooese4242]

I heard of Scaler as a kid

[@RPKGameVids]

I think there's probably a delay in the controls because you're playing a standard definition console on a HD lcd tv. If you play it on a CRT you should notice an improvement in the controls.

[@retrogamingmad]

you may be right there

[@TheJoaomaik]

Combat Elite WWII Paratroopers , and Urban Chaos ;)

[@nogginplopisback]

almost right until you got to scaler, what a weird ass game

[@kreevisful]

Dude, you seem like a dope person! Thanks for your entertaining video! I just *SUBSCRIBED* and *BELL* notification your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@retrogamingmad]

thank you very much. Apprecaite your comment. Top man

[@rayg8792]

Seen them all before ps2 but i havnt tryied scaler

[@gazzaboy84]

I bought Cold winter back when Game station stores where still open and you used be able to get 4 games for £20 😊

[@andrewlodge8065]

I owned 3 of these games, WW2 soldier, Cold Winter and Scaler. I might have traded them but they're most likely in a box at the bottom of my wardrobe

[@neppy-chan9297]

Scaler is pretty derivative, but has decent controls, fun for Platformer fans. Never heard of any of the others, but Stolen and Cold Winter look like they might be alright.

[@retrogamingmad]

I quite like scaler.. I also have it on the game cube which would be great to make a comparison. Seems like a mixture of many games for me.

[@julskechap]

You sound like a character from the Royle family show❤

[@retrogamingmad]

I do?

[@fourwingsweepa1705]

I own all 5 of them and they are all pretty common here in Australia

[@barryklinedinst6233]

If you enjoy playing them thats all that matters

[@retrogamingmad]

couldn't agree more fella thanks

[@GentielioGaming]

Stolen made it to Game magazines i believe. These sort of cheap games made it to certain warehouses but not to actual game stores where people just know what they want. I did buy Knight Rider 1 and 2 for the PS2 for nostalgia reasons.

[@quitefranklyjosh]

I owned coldwinter once upon a time.

[@retrogamingmad]

Did you finish it?

[@christopherrobinmarriott7218]

The mission briefing screen/chapter prologue from the first game WW2 shooter looks almost EXACTLY like the mission briefing screen from another obscure ps2 game about WW2 called ‘Combat elite:paratrooper’… like I’m pretty sure one game just stole from the other hahaha

[@marklawson5542]

I used to have Cold Winter, I enjoyed it at the time. If you don't want these games? Let me know, I'll buy them from you!

[@retrogamingmad]

Thanks for the offer appreciate it, but I'm a collector.

[@KesorodaBlk]

Well for one thing, The first two games look like fake games you'd see someone playing in an episode of Law & Order in the background.😅

[@KesorodaBlk]

I've heard of Scaler and Stolen, but not the other three. However, I've never played any of these.

[@krischurch3763]

Scaler is the only one i had played

[@benowen170]

Scaler's a great 3D platformer, it's a shame it released so late into the PS2's lifespan, i think that's why it flew under the radar.

[@retrogamingmad]

It's on the Gamecube as well. I've yet to play it on that platform, but I think yo are right, late to the party. edit, just looked it up, came out 2004

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

Scaler was a low profile release. First I heard of it, was Seanbaby refusing to review it for EGM because it was too good.

[@TheBigChoomah]

I'm 10 seconds on and am hooked already.

[@flouserschird]

Eggggggsactlt m8. I feel the same way about McDonald’s

[@retrogamingmad]

Lol. Nasty place that serves not bad breakfast. Rest is cardboard lol

[@michaelbullen3104]

Just the name WWII Soldier lmao it’s indicative of a crap game, it’s almost got a layer of irony over it because people these days have sadly relegated ww2 soldiers to just “video game characters”

[@retrogamingmad]

Very true fella. I like to look for games that I haven't seen on any channel and that one fitted the bill. Doubt I'll ever play it properly which is a shame really.

[@superubly]

grandpa done stole my you tube lol

[@retrogamingmad]

lol

[@geoffreychauvin1474]

I haven't heard of ww2 soldier or cold winter but I know the other three. Stolen I remember catching my eye bc it looked like tomb raider

[@Noobsaibot21]

I recall seeing Stolen on the shelves a number of times when working in Virgin Megastores. Launched around the time of Aeon Flux... is mania the right word? Don't think so. Anyway, It was a bit of a cash grab or hoping to get some of that audience (but with large tits on the cover). Cold Winter was a regular on the shelves and heard it's supposed to be decent too.

[@sikliztailbunch]

Your video is a bit too low on volume. Not a big deal but when i forget, the next video I watch is too loud

[@retrogamingmad]

Hi. When you say its a little low on volume do you mean the video as a general or my voice compared to the background sounds? Its difficult balancing it all out and I've changed my mic today to see if that helps. Thanks for your comment

[@sikliztailbunch]

It´s the entire video. When i turn it up, your voice is fine. @@retrogamingmad
