[@JohnRiggs]

Why I needed all those Ironsword kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJWxqK2AhJ59r9E

[@bobbydazzler-lt5ir]

Got all the wizards and warriors on nes. Got ironsword complete in box

[@MerchGuyMercH]

Yo! Vinnie the Pooh here 😂 So great meeting you brotha! Thanks so much for featuring my booth on the video. I passed by on Sunday a few times to grab a Genesis game, but I missed ya.. I’m gunna grab one online. If you do the shipping, I’d love to have ya sign it for me if ya can. Love the videos homie. Hope to cross paths again. Much love.

[@dansprenger7268]

I feel honored to say my booth was shown in the video!! Even my daughter is in the background of the preview shot!

[@JohnRiggs]

Great stuff at your booth, too!

[@282miguel]

It was so awesome meeting you. Thank you so much for signing my copy of Chew Chew Mimic!! It was an honor. The game is a blast and it’s my first NES home brew in my collection

[@enelan619]

Just want to thank you @JohnRiggs for being such a gracious guest at Cleveland Classic Gaming Convention. I had a great time meeting you and the Star Tropical air freshener is awesome!

[@scottg7660]

That little Nemo cabinet looks sick.

[@HarryToeface]

Freaking love ironsword...it's probably my favorite nes game... I miss owning an nes...I miss consoles in general..

[@EngineHeadCW]

It was so great seeing you there Saturday! You were the main reason for us being there. Thanks for putting my NanoCabs in the video, too! I really was going to come back and talk to you for a bit on Sunday, but we couldn't find any great deals and decided to call it early. I even tried talking people into getting rid of stuff they didn't want to take back with them, for cheap, and no one was budging. It was REALLY busy there Sunday. More busy than I thought it would be. And thank you for the Chew Chew Mimic!

[@Timmyblue-rf4es]

When I play video games, I like to share the wealth, not hog it. Reminds me of the employees at GameStop picking through all the good games first, then selling the leftovers..

[@JohnRiggs]

as you should!

[@earlthornton6885]

yea this is strange. sitting here trying to figure out the psychology of hoarding multiple copies of the same game. i'm guessing just reselling.

[@JohnRiggs]

@@earlthornton6885 You'll see in the Portland video after next weekend.

[@mattm7798]

Something about watching you tour these conventions is so relaxing. Thnx John!

[@Johnnygrafx]

I enjoyed bumping into you again good sir! It was a great convention! This vid is a very good sampling of it. Glad you had a good time and got your ironswords 😎

[@SykoXombie]

You're the only person I wanted to meet out of all the guests but I couldn't make it :/ Hopefully next time!! Always worth checking out our local music scene if you're in town!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@retrowildlands]

It was so cool to finally met you in person! Thanks for the conversation, thanks for a few laughs, and thanks for selling those air fresheners... Now my office smells like the old arcade down the street and I couldn't be happier. 😁

[@BigMcFlips]

Good meeting you. Glad I had 2 copies of Ironsword for you!

[@iluvtv2]

"I am the banner." I love John Riggs lol

[@EdsHead]

Good to see you again Mr. Riggs! Always a pleasure and super happy you got to attend my home convention. Funny to see the Sega Genesis II system I bought at 4:37 as a last minute deal right as the show was closing. It plays great and can't wait to add more games to the collection! Also, everyone should check out that indie game Where They Go for those interested in puzzle horror. (Demo is on Steam I believe???) It's really shaping up to be a fantastic game. It was a fantastic convention and I can't wait to attend next year!!!

[@motherchaos666]

Not me actually noticing Iron Sword in bins the longer I watched. LOL It was so wonderful meeting you and Michele in Pittsburgh!

[@lughnagh]

Macross Plus has one of my favorite exchanges: Yang: Skill has nothing to do with this. It's gonna take pure luck this time. Isamu: Luck is one of my skills. Also, in that English dub, Bryan Cranston voiced Isamu!

[@SquarePegs]

Great to see you this weekend, my friend! Excellent recap!

[@JohnRiggs]

Best booth buddies~!

[@TwistedIdentity]

*ahem* I bought one of the Ironswords >.> Also was super cool meeting you, sorry if I was a bit awkward I was beyond tired and super sore when I finally walked up to you. :P Hope to see ya again

[@GAMECLOSET]

“Trebek, I’ll take Iron Swords for $500!” I’m bet intrigued to see what you’re doing with those Iron Swords. Perhaps building the Iron NES Throne? 😁 Fun video and thanks again, John, for the Mendel Palace NES game! I’ll be checking it out in the next couple of days.

[@superdave3093]

Lol “I’ll take Swords for $500 Alec.” “That’s S Words!” 😂 one of the best SNL skits back in the day!!! 😁😁

[@garydodson6737]

Thanks for signing my NES sleeve!

[@nickprovence]

CGC was a great time this year. Pleasure meeting you there.

[@branscombe_]

hilarious, I just found a complete CIB Iron Sword for 10$ in mint condition at locale pawn shop

[@JohnRiggs]

Not that I'm better than any other youtuber at conventions (because I'm not) but I'll also point out that I bought all of these copies AFTER the doors were open to the public. No early-access shopping for me. I want people who bought tickets to get first picks.

[@JohnRiggs]

@@Lloyd_Kaufman Me.

[@Top10WizardReviews]

It's so considerate of you to buy things and then resell them at higher prices.

[@clevelandgamingclassic]

Glad you had a great time!

[@OkieOrganix]

When you show up looking for iron sword and just keep hearing how some guy was walking around earlier with 15 copies of it. 🤦‍♂️

[@JohnRiggs]

haha, well, as it turns out from the comments I apparently skipped a couple of them.

[@kageris6]

Don't hate! He needs them for the Fabio shrine he's making!

[@OkieOrganix]

@@kageris6 Waiting for that Full Size Fabio Back Tattoo

[@xxdeftones86xx]

You only had 35 years to find a copy…

[@looselycollected7505]

They made a 2600 Track and Field controller back in the 80s. I have one.

[@snbks4ever]

I mean it's really like candy meth.. 😂😂 this is true

[@leesarcade]

Keystone Kapers is my all time fav 2600 game!

[@retroraider5313]

Love your videos John, would love to see ya one day!

[@cecilsgames845]

I am still looking for that game in the wild. I want short order and eggsloode. Just don't wanna pay eBay prices

[@mycoolbeernuts6870]

John Riggs!!! Quest of the Ironsword! Only someone with a pure heart can wield the Ironsword. John? Pure Heart? Hummmmmm

[@kuruptein]

Another Riggs video..another Tuesday mowing

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

27:18 You glanced right over Ironsword. Bottom right of the top shelf...

[@RobotacularRoBob]

He missed another at 27:35

[@cinema_coyote]

Dude had his hand on a copy

[@JohnRiggs]

dammit, you're sure right! Oh well, I found plenty.

[@JohnRiggs]

@@RobotacularRoBob I sure did... lol

[@_Blackhercules_]

“If they dont have a playboy under this mattress” HAHAHAHA so damn funny! You the man Riggs, much love from the 509’

[@kid_scarlet]

17:39 Iron Sword kind of near the center of the screen near your hand. you were getting distracted quite a bit though ;)

[@chrisrie9499]

You missed 1 Ironsword at 17:39

[@joysticksnjukeboxes]

Checking under the mattress... 😂

[@mjdf122]

John Riggs back at another convention/expo

[@RobotacularRoBob]

Ironsword is definitely the best of the Wizards & Warriors games.

[@RetroRizer]

John Riggs finally in Cleveland, ya love to see it

[@JohnRiggs]

wish I could've hung out longer.

[@derockgaming9469]

Hey JohnRiggs, Sorry I missed you at the Cleveland Gaming Classic. I have enjoyed your content though. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

You should have bought that Dangaioh VHS it's a good giant Japanese robot anime.

[@JohnRiggs]

classic.

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

@@JohnRiggs 👍

[@JoelSinn-sd5fn]

Since around 2012, I have bought every decent priced copy of Rollerblade racer that I see. It was a dirt cheap game, and one that seemed to be unloved by the masses, so I just decided that I should give it some love. Anytime people come over, they are really confused why I have a shelf full of a game they have never heard of.

[@roberthornibrook6344]

Why? Guess if anything having them run on a bunch of Nes systems you'll have a symphony of Iron Swords lol.

[@stepsgaming]

Damn it no wonder I couldn’t get my copy of Iron Sword! You….! lol I wasn’t there I will be in Portland though! I’ll be at booth 753 for Give Kids the World Village

[@jonathannoble9465]

There’s 5 Ironswords at the McKays in Nashville if you’re up for a road trip

[@gamesnmoorer]

John you had me thinking that Ironsword was worth something.

[@JohnRiggs]

Nope, it's cheap. Just a fun project for PRGE.

[@Seattlesgames]

No way, Fabio's game haha ! Are you collecting my game? . lol See you at PRGE my friend !!! booth 603 brazilians will be at the building !

[@teamoptimus7069]

Awesome video, I'm still in the process of editing mine. It was also great meeting this past weekend.

[@Grind24hours]

I have friends -they're playing Nintendo! Great video, John!

[@jonnycoyote2782]

I’m glad I got to met you at the convention man I was the guy dressed as a realistic Mario and bought the Yeah Yeah Beebiss for Dreamcast off of you

[@JohnRiggs]

Very cool!

[@animemaster4861]

Some of those anime on VHS are pretty good. Got to agree x is great, and there's a huge fan of Macross it's nice to see Macross Plus getting some love usually it's a bit overlooked. One of my personal favorites. That copy of space warriors that's probably only the second one I've actually seen besides my copy, it's actually a really great movie

[@RecrutaZero78]

I saw you buying one of the Ironsword games lol😂

[@JRod-zr8qk]

Always love all your positive energy Riggs !! 🤜🤛👊🙌👍

[@datravman]

why?

[@therealjaystone2344]

This reminds me of Phoenix Resale own 14 copies of Wii Sports

[@JohnRiggs]

I probably did at one point as well. I think I still have, like, 7 copies of Job Simulator for PSVR lol

I can't believe it's not Butter!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice, didn’t know you were in my area! You going to TORG? I’ll be there VIP

[@JohnRiggs]

Not this year. Maybe next year?

I just assumed he was going to paste his face over Fabio. He likes to do things like that…

What's going to happen to all the IRONSWORDs? Please don't destroy them.

Cool Vid John 😎

Aww i was just here Saturday, i would have said hey

I was there all three days.

[@cubansupreme]

Gotta strike while the Iron (sword) is hot with buying all those Ironsword games.

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

This convention was awesome! What's your obsession with Iron Sword lol?😂 If it was me I'll need my grocery cart because of how much I'll buy. Thanks for sharing your adventures at the convention for us that can't go John!👉🏼🙂👈

[@Gerald1177]

Iron sword might have the cheesiest cover art ever. But it’s a great game. One of my favorites back in the day.

[@JLAvey]

VHS--- why? I'm more than old enough to remember renting video tapes and I don't get why anyone would want to bring back magnetic tape. DVDs replaced them relatively quickly for a reason. Now laserdisc, those can be put in frames and hung on the wall.

[@Matth-t3f]

Are u still in Cleveland area wish I would've known Id have came to that convention just to meet John

[@NESDwayne]

I don't understand why someone would buy multiple copies of a game. One of the reasons the prices of games keep going up. Save some for everyone else. 😢

[@jarredkrum9894]

Right

[@JohnRiggs]

This game isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

[@CosmicCosmo1]

You bringing your Iron Sword copies to Portland? That's one that was on my list to snag at the PRGE this year.

[@JohnRiggs]

welll... kinda you'll see.

[@7thangelad586]

Thought it might end with a Fabio tattoo.

[@eliv.1033]

So i assume you r a fan of fabio ..😂 I remember playing the game back in the day and i was like WTH is fabio doing on the cover art and also doing the commercial for it .😂

[@CommentDeletersStink]

He whacks off to fabio

[@AcTuaLlyClinTwalker85]

IRON SWORD IS MY FAVORITE GAME❤

[@metae.4256]

Wtf is he going to do with all those Ironsword copies? Set up a torture chamber? I mean, if he's going to do a Ironsword race or something, that might be interesting to see, but there's probably not enough masochists to actually do so.

[@matthewbarrios1028]

It bothered me so much when he you overlooked an IronSword copy @ 17:38

[@JohnRiggs]

oh man, there's a few times where it's literally right there but I didn't see it.
