[@MetalJesusRocks]

I had a great time hanging with you guys that day as well. And THANKS for the awesome copy of Necronomicon on the Sega Saturn! The John Petrucci soundtrack is killer. BTW: Great job on the b-roll for this video. Rock! \m/

[@potatotomato9756]

Hello MetalJesusRocks

[@NESComplex]

I love the editing and the quality of your b roll shots. Very solid video and I'm glad you picked up Sunset Riders. Cheers.

[@zcarver25]

Peter is the shit. Just rediscovered his channel

[@Mazinga]

America is really a paradise for collectors.

[@MoejiiOsmanTV]

thats very very true....we are very spoiled over here...im sure its harder in europe or asia with fake games but in america people dont throw away games , people keep games for years and years and years and then they just sell them on ebay and they get recycled all over the country year after year

[@TheClassicWorld]

Well, only in some parts of America (such as the places these KZbinrs are at). A true place for collecting would be Japan and Aussieland, naturally. But, America is still good as a whole for sure. I'm in the North of England and there's really only a few shops and not many good online places, either. Generally, it's more money than America and not as much retro stuff. But, still, places like England and Germany are great for games, as well.

[@JamieLikesGames]

West Coast is much better for retro games. East coast kinda blows

[@pdogg70]

Found copies of Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, and Super Mario RPG for 3 bucks a piece at a flea market :)

[@piplupfan77]

I always love videos like this, great to see another one from you, Pete!

[@samhain81]

Im very happy you took my suggestion and incorporated BGM to your videos now, makes them much more engrossing. Not even that loud either, but it makes all the difference

[@8bittops4gamersfacebookgro84]

Yea Pete showing Seattle and Pink Gorilla some love, I love that store

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Vanark looked pretty damn badass and I haven't seen it before. So I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for that one

[@KOOLGAMERPLAYER]

Having clips of the games you bought makes your videos so much better.

[@FidgetDaMidget]

A collage? How lovely,he's into cutting various materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric that are arranged and stuck to a backing to make a picture.

[@NotLegato]

jealous. the only game stores here are bloody gamestops, so naturally, i do all my shopping on uk ebay or some local auction site. needless to say, everything is like 80% more expensive. and as much more rare anyway.

[@TheClassicWorld]

I have a great local guy. I suggest you look for individual shop owners for games, and CEX if you have to (although if you keep checking eBay, some deals are insanely cheap). And I guess there will be some Facebook pages, too. I live in the North of England.

[@elsquibbs]

I'm not really into gaming anymore but I really enjoy these videos. Lots of memories.

[@Uristdorf]

@13:13 Holy living hell! I totally remember playing this game on an arcade machine in a Round Table pizza restaurant when I was a kid.. I spent so many quarters on it. Parents were probably not pleased. It was really fun.

[@deathkey4]

Yup. Pacman Arrangement, Digdug Arrangement and Galaga Arrangement all came on Namcomuseum for PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube.

[@MadPanicGaming]

Wow, looks like Seattle is a gold mine of retro games. Very cool. I wish I could get my hands on a copy of Sunset Riders.

[@Chub0933]

Pac-Man arrangement was actually on Namco Museum (2001) for the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube (Gamecube version from 2002), along with Galaga Arrangement, Dig Dug Arrangement, Pac-Attack, Pac-Mania and Pole Position II.

[@MusicIsEarth]

I like the short video game clips that you put in, it's a nice touch-up! Keep it up!

[@DARKNESSofD]

As a kid I had a hamster named HamTaro, and it looked really similar to the actual HamTaro as well. R.I.P little buddy!

[@dellguyman]

Pete, i want you to know that i extremely respect you. You work hard and do what you love, and nothing stands in your way. Dont ever let society tell you whats right or wrong...always do what you love no matter what you do, or what anybody says.

[@HectorGarfria]

Hamtaro on GB/GBC are sick as fuck. Can confirm.

[@parasitesundinism]

not for me

[@oliver24x]

I want retro game stores in Denmark!

[@evilbanjoman]

You know, if they don't have one where you live, and there's lots of gamers in the area, you might want to try and open one yourself. You'd get your store and own business. Very risky though.

[@oliver24x]

***** I would like to but i'm not old enough to open a store. :)

[@tomquertier1810]

Yeah, all the retro game stores are in America! None in Europe..... :( I've only found one in the UK

[@palmtreestudio7407]

oliver24x me too

[@OliverGrandt]

Impossible. Pete would never sell his games. Pete IS games! I hope he'll be back soon.

[@VysetheBattleMaster]

I’d love to go to LA to look through all those stores one day. I hear the cost of living is through the roof, but man does the west coast have some cool freaking shops.

[@JackysArtandGames]

Pacman Arrangement is on my gamecube disc of the Namco museum if you're interested

[@Harthstudios]

I'm kinda glad someone remembered the other Hamtaro game. Both were amazing imho.

[@joker37281]

He is going to a full time college. Metal Jesus Rocks told me through the comments on his iPad apps video.

[@superj2644]

I wanna say that Pac-Man arrangement is also on Namco Museum on the xbox, GCN and PS2

[@HelloComics]

Nice video, Pete. I love how you added gameplay footage for all of the games.

[@CambioJoe]

I live in the seattle area (Microsoft is here in Redmond) and I see games with those Microsoft employee purchase stickers on them everywhere.

[@meowskull]

Pacman arrangement is also on namco museum for gamecube. Actually picked it up for a buck 50 today at a thrift store. Glad I bought it now knowing that pacman arrangement is semi exclusive to the game.

[@Pandakids09]

Man founding stuff in person is always the best! We really don't have much retro gaming store over here so i have to look aroud flea markets and thrift shops since most of the retro gaming store we do have are way over priced worse then ebay

[@swanseawales1979]

Adverts at the end is an awesome idea, bet he makes tons of money by doing that

[@talksick508]

pete u inspired me man, im retro shopping tomorrow for snes and saturn thank u

[@Scottsquatch]

Ahh!! I have been looking for Vanark. The employee in the first store shot you should had some major bed head going on! lol

[@rekkasketch4659]

Sunset Riders is arcade nostalgia. Best part was that it was 4 players

[@skyblue11685]

Hey pete,the specific pac-man arrangement game that you mentioned in your video is also available in the namco museum collection for the ps2(the original version not the 50th anniversary version).Also,if you buy games that have missing game case artwork or a missing manual go to bre software. It is an online site/store that sell various video game related packaging(including manuals & game case artwork.). I have conducted business with them many times & have never had any problems with them.

[@SolidSnake684]

SO JELLY RIGHT NOW! I have never been to a store where it's wall to wall cartridges! My local record store has a bunch a classic games, but none that i want/don't have.

[@oldschoolsolarpower8077]

I nearly swooned when I saw that the second store you visited had a copy of Lords of Thunder... Where would one find Turbografx and Turbo CD consoles, games, and accessories for prices that would not require an organ transplant?

[@AlderDragon]

Nice Sunset Riders find. I got my cart only from a flea market for $2 when I was 13 years old... around 8 years ago.

[@SuperTyler109]

Hey Pete. I was watching your video and had a small tip for future videos. When you show the game cases to the camera, be mindful of the glare from the lights in the room. It is sometimes difficult to see the cover when the light is shining in the camera. Other than that, great video!

[@RE-LOOIE]

SO awesome, Pete. You've really sparked my interest for the PC Engine from this video alone. It'll be a while before I consider taking the plunge and purchasing an actual system, but when I do, I may need to ask you specifics about which console to purchase, how much I should pay, games to get, ect. Would eBay be my best bet to get a console and games for a reasonable price? I would also think Play-asia may be a good place to snag games? In any case, great video, glad you had fun at PAX man! :D

[@greencoman]

Awesome finds. I wished I lived in areas like that with awesome retro stores. Of late there have been a few that opened up but not any that have the extensive libraries that there is in Seattle. I hope you had fun at Pax Prime.

[@flareon64]

the pac man collection is fucking awesome. i replayed pacman arrangement so many times.

[@kongregatefan67]

OH you are so lucky to go to these game stores with retro games. in my area in australia the only shop that sells retro games games is a gametraders

[@DJIndy]

Sunset Riders is a really good game. I remember playing that with my brother all the time back in the day on the Super Nintendo. I was surprised to find it is such a valuable game now when I started looking for it again a few years ago. Great find.

[@bobopatchigglerrulez]

Yeah Pacman Arrangement is on the PS2 Namco Museum game, along with Galaga Arrangement and DigDug Arrangement, I highly recommend it for those versions of the games which are great

[@TrackerRoo]

Only have one game store locally that isn't a Gamestop, and it's fairly small. About an hour drive to the next nearest, little over 3 hours to get to the Mecca that is the Seattle area. Going to be taking a road trip soon though, really wanting to get more games.

[@jpatora]

Thanks for adding the game play videos.

[@MacLMokkit]

Hamtaro is epic I got it at an airport in Greece for the flight home years ago amazing game

[@NismoJoeB13]

Pacman Arrangement is also on the Namco Museum for the Gamecube. :)

[@SuperSaiyanGoku2012]

man i love places with old school games! Haha i get all excited when i go into one.

[@Transfixed]

Ohhh lucky! I remember seeing El Viento in a magazine back when it came out and i really wanted it :) Enjoy!

[@msgr33nday]

Man, I´d love to see video game stores like that where I´m from...compared to what we got in here, the first one seems huge...I´ve never seen a Sega Saturn game in my entire life...

[@bmaga123]

Awesome video Pete, I'm bummed I missed Pax prime again this year tickets sold old way faster then usual. I hope to go next year again :-)

[@mutehero7]

Hamtaro on the GBC rocks. I played it via emulator due to some high scores on GameFAQs, and I couldn't stop playing till I beat it.

[@KTILLA23]

Pete, you can actually get Pacman Arrangements one of the PS1 Namco museums and on any of the Namco museums on PS2, xbox, and Gamecube. And there is even an stand up arcade version that i have seen and played before.

[@TheLukieBoi1]

I've asked a few game collectors that same question but i never get an answer. It SEEMS like they all work job that pay fantastically or they've won the lottery.

[@danwood_uk]

Damn, wished I lived where you do, here we have a Game and Gamestation, the oldest games are maybe for the PS2 at most, and even then only a handful.

[@quickfreeze4]

Great find Pete, that Pac-man collection on the GBA is one of my favs. Great game.

[@fishliips]

omg Moto Toon was my jam as a kid. I forgot all about it! Must find a copy now...

[@Vault1982]

Sunset Riders is a fun side scroller. Good find! I no longer have the cart, but I have a rom of it. It's a classic.

[@CommanderLionheart]

oh man that Hamtaro game was the shit, one of my favorite gameboy games

[@JMrsh5]

lucky lucky, I moved to CA from WA where we currently have 1000000 Game Stops within spitting distance and an empty building where PlayNTrade once stood for 6 months; closest one is now three hours away if I want my, "old treasures fix" :(

[@electricadventures]

Wow some of those stores have an amazing amount of stock. You got some very decent titles. Wow so many PC Engine games in one place - well rescued! I managed to get a copy of Violent Soldier from Japan for a reasonable price, it just arrived today - video up later. I am collecting all the Megadrive/Genesis shoot em ups as well, that Task Force Harrier looks like a pretty decent title.

[@xFSUxBatman317]

Music added to the videos makes me pay attention to them more for some reason..

[@MistressIshbo]

I do remember the other videos from last year. You got some great stuff. n2o is awesome! I love odd games nobody plays! OH snap sunset riders! :DD Very nice pick-ups buddy! :D

[@PEDRORAMOS-co2ec]

SNES Sunset Riders is awesome, i have it complete bought it in Portugal back in the day and still play it today,

[@Sticky1254]

ham hams unite is a GREAT game, not even kidding.

[@NEDMStudios]

PacMan Arrangement is for Namco Museum for the PS2.

[@thepanayiotis1990]

Very solid Video Pete, need more video hunting videos :-)

[@MovieStarKitten]

I've played Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak before and remember it being really fun. Ha ha so I don't think it's weird that you picked up a Hamtaro game. :) I loved the layout of Al's too. That place was so awesome. Great video. Love the pickups!!!! Lots of shooter so I guess you are still on your shmup kick. :)

[@thequeenundisputed]

I love that your "we have Nintendo" shelf has only ps1 games.

[@ankr3w1]

i dont have any of those great game stores around where i live. just the bloodsucking vampire gamestop

[@bytex666]

Pokemon is designed for kids too, they're still awesome games for adults because of the amazing depth.

[@PressStartToContinueYT]

Great stuff Pete, Sunset Riders for around 50$ is a steal!

[@Frog_Puppet]

DO you have a copy of Grandia 3? i see 2 in the background, but i cant see 3.

[@mistajay6332]

Hamtaro is amazing, lol. Great times of my childhood.

[@SinHarvester]

I read this as "Game haunting at 6 different stores" imagine my surprise.

[@swinger2]

great video great channel great commentary keep it up man!

[@OldSkoolBrian]

Awesome Pickups Pete.. Quantum Redshift looks cool Im gonna keep an eye out for a copy.

[@mavf]

Nice to see gameplay of the games. Awsome video.

[@jrez8225]

N20: Nitrous Oxide is a sweet tunnel shooter for the PS. Nice graphics and an awesome rave style soundtrack.

[@deathlaser3000]

wish i still lived in seattle, these stores are the best!

[@joker37281]

His last Facebook and Twitter updates were on October 5th.

[@SynchroMax]

Actually, Pac-Man Arrangement is also available on PS2's Namco Museum.

[@XxblackrainstudioxX]

pete, i want you to post a set of videos of you trying to tackle the touhou games, you can play them online for free "i heard from a friend" and its the craziest over the top shmup you will ever play

[@OliverGrandt]

Thanks, man!! Was really worried there for a second.

[@jordy15322]

I have 2 retro game shops in my area the onlones for miles, but... Nobody trades anything in anymore so all of there good stock has been cleared out for ps1 ps2 and soon PSP, They get the odd good thing in now and then so I normally jump straight on that, on time bought a load of stuff and they where stood there like thanks for cleaning out the good stock again. Its good having a game shop so close and getting on wite the employers and manager in both

[@Peyre]

cool pickups pete. really like your taste of games.

[@MatFoxSimRacing]

In the UK retro game stores are really few and far between, eBay really is the place you have to search things out. The big difference I have found here compared to what you mention on your videos is that the games are much cheaper here on eBay than in the stores. I should really make more effort to seek out the retro game stores the next time I'm over in the US.

[@dmf89]

amazing, great editing!

[@TheCompletionist]

I never really had much time to go to a lot of the game stores even though we got in early on thursday. I really didn't want to cart my wife all over seattle and surrounding area to game stores, but we did stop into pink gorilla in the u district and al's video games. I didn't buy a lot for myself the only thing that interested me was symphony of the night black label but my wife found a ton of records she always wanted to own.

[@benjaminandrew123]

lmao look at that fuckin graveyard of guitars in that one store

[@dalechadwick621]

I've shopped at Al's Music and game.

[@jetliigor]

How many games do you own in all? Do you think you'll be collecting these games until you die? Do you ever plan on selling your entire collection?

[@Ninten70]

9:45 this game looks like Need for Speed meets Mario Kart! So many retro-games there Pete, All-Gen Gamers Reunited, Although HappyConsoleGamer didn't join the hunting. but good game hunting plus was there a Play N Trade around Washington?

[@szor1]

Sunset Riders is a great find boxed. Much better than the Genesis version. It's like Turtles in time vs Hyperstone heist.

[@Ghostblood1334]

They are compaired to Genesis games. Even if it's the game, the SNES version is always a few bucks or more higher for some reason.

[@MegaBeastout13]

OMG Pete is doing his own Gamechasing lol. Very Nice!
