[@RetroMoments]

Thanks for the shoutout! :D And wow, I did not expect you to find that. Incredible! I was happily paying 5000 yen when I found it in the store. Anyway, very enjoyable episode here! Keep up the good work my friend! :)

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

You are very welcome👍 Have to give props where they are due. If it wasnt for that video of yours this game would not be in my memory banks. Thanks man.

[@MadPanicGaming]

Amazing find dude, a loose cart of that game can easily go for up to 10,000 depending on where you find it. Definitely the find of the day, week, month, and most likely year.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks man! That statement holds a lot of weight especially coming from the retro gaming goodness master himself. What is one of your best finds over the years?

[@PastoKage]

No Way! What a deal!!!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Pasto Kage thanks im still in shock 🤯

[@bjornh1527]

Now THAT is a find! Great that you don´t tease about it in the thumbnail, I was almost as surprised as you. It´s a very nice plattformer, I´ll probably never own it but at least I have it on Wii Virtual Console. Fun level design and I love the soothing music, excellent game!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Bjorn im glad you agree with me. Im loving this game so far it really is a good one.

[@bjornh1527]

Happy it found a good home! Overall an impressive amount of quality games for a Book Off by the way. Several cool Konami carts.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks mate im glad you agree with me.

[@markg155]

Great find and great video. Thank you for sharing your content with us.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks Mark G! And its always a pleasure to have you in the premiere chat my man.

[@smileycop]

Congratulations!!! Great find. Please keep these challenges up! I love seeing what’s in the cheap bins!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thank you! Will do! Whats one of your best finds from the junk bins?

[@smileycop]

@@ScruffyLookinRGB Gotcha Force for the GC and and mighty final fight for the NES at Value village! I work close to one so, almost every day at lunch, I do a walkthrough looking for games and consoles.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Scott wow those look to be really amazing finds. Fantastic thanks for sharing.

[@JRThree]

Great video! Very cool to see FDS games in the discount section. Can’t wait to get back to Japan next year.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks John R! I was pleasantly supprised to see these FDS games as well. What are some of your favorite FDS games?

[@xraymind]

Every time I am here, I go up to the 5th floor for the AYCE Shabu Shabu (1:15) lunch after shopping at this Book Off.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

That sounds like a nice system you got there👍Its always a good time for Shabu Shabu😯

[@ryoma0045]

Great challenge dude. Lots of awesome games to pick from, glad you found what you did! Your luck is amazing!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thank you Ryoma! I hope this luck continues id love to find a gem like this in each episode. Do you have another diamond in the rough story to share?

[@ryoma0045]

I hope so too dude! I've been pretty lucky before from finding a Virtual Boy and all but 3 games for it in the newspaper to random retro consoles at car boot sales. Best probably though was getting Steel Battalion complete in box with the expansion game for about £30 as the person had no idea what it was. Not even sure how I came to find this chap but ended up driving over to his house in the next town over, stayed to watch a football game and then went home. Was a very weird experience 🤣

[@life_motived_corey]

I loved the n64 bomberman best ever

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Bomberman is one of my favorites too

[@life_motived_corey]

@@ScruffyLookinRGB i love pumping up the red bomb and running lol. Playstation tried but failed at making another bomber man. So n64 will be my best

[@RetroSho]

Shout out to Scruffy! I saw those FDS games! 👀👀👀 I just started playing Pro Wrestling very seriously now. What an amazing game I never had the chance to play fully when I was a youngin. Nazo no Kabe is actually Breakout! by Atari. Konami did their own version of it. Bubble Bobble was a great pick up as well! Surprised it's so darn cheap over there. Great video as usual brother! I really need to start studying Japanese...

[@RetroSho]

HOLY CRAP JUST GOT TO THE FIND OF THE MONTH HAHA

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Im still in shock my self maybe the find of the year

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Oh so you are deep into the pro wrestling very cool it is the only FDS that I have that is complete. Wow i didnt know that was break out very cool love the art on it. Ive never seen bubble bobble go for so cheap so I had to snag it. Thanks for the kind words Sho. Good luck on you Japanese studies once you get hiragana and katakana down you start learning words much faster.

[@RetroSho]

@@ScruffyLookinRGB Hey, you also got that Akumajou Densetsu as well! It's a lucky year for ya!

[@RetroSho]

@@ScruffyLookinRGB Awesome awesome, can't wait when it comes to Japanese. I hope to at least have some basics down enough to travel to Japan once all of this COVID business finally goes away. And yeah totally Breakout -- the original ROM file is actually named as such in Nintendo's database, lol. Bubble Bobble can be somewhat expensive that I've seen but goes for cheap as part of lots! It prolly was very cheap due to having no cover or wax sleeve. 😀😱

[@Evercade_Effect]

Finally cought you live! Good finds and great stuff!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks for coming glad you could make it!

[@Bristecom]

Haha, I approve of the delousing.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

I appreciate that 😂🤣😂

[@gf-zi5hr]

Easily the find of the year, I haven't had that much success in that book off. I recommend going to the one in Otsuka, next to the station. Can't wait till I go back to Japan and go through my yamanote video game run. Are you open to some requests? Do you have an e-mail for those?

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks! I will check out the book ofo at otsuka station next time thanks for the tip. What is one of your best finds?

[@raikoh05]

I still need to get that kunio kun collection on ps4 (I still need a switch too)

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Ha ha another retro gamer like me. Way too many great games to collect what a time for game collecting🙌

[@Bloodreign1]

Yeah, that Doremi Fantasy for 510 yen is an absolute steal. Best I ever did was find an NES Cowboy Kid cart only locally for $5. That game goes for far, far more online, even at the time I found that copy and bought it.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Never heard of that one before. That is an amazing find. Me after looking at ebay prices🤯

[@Bloodreign1]

@@ScruffyLookinRGB Yeah it's pretty expensive, I think it's not as expensive in it's Japanese form, Western Kids for the Famicom.

[@dazrael5658]

Ah Ikebukuro, or Stinkybukuro as my mate calls it. It always seems to smell of rotten eggs in that part of town even though I do love it there. ¥500 fact: That Book Off used to be an HMV many moons ago.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Stinkybukuro indeed i find many places around town where that random smell of sewage or garbage lingers for it unsuspecting victims muhahahahaha 👺

[@OOOAAAIII]

The Sigma game is Maka Maka, seems to be absolutely horrible :-)

[@OOOAAAIII]

Oh, and the Do Re Mi Fantasy is actually a fantastic deal, great find!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Thanks for the name and the warning it was driving me crazy. And ill stay clear next time.
