I Spent $10,000 Recollecting my Childhood at a Game Convention...

[@JShadow6661]

Man my first n64 console was that 2 controller bundle. Was poor but my parents got it for me. Good times.

All us poor kids definitely remember that :)

I don't know how KZbin recommended this to me, as I don't watch anything gaming-related, but I'm glad it did. Watching you shop for N64s took me back to when my parents gifted me the n64 at Christmas. Similar to your story, but my parents made it seem like I didn't receive a gift that year. Everyone opened presents and I was left there without a gift. My parents told me “we were saving your one and only for last” I remember tearing up as I opened it and caught a glimpse of the System on the box. Thank you

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

As a true 90's kid I can't tell you how much nostalgia this video was for me when i saw the N64 and Gameboy Color, hit me right in the feels and almost made me shed a tear remembering all of the great memories I had with my brother and friends. I can safely say, I lived in the best era to be a child and I didn't even know it at the time. Side note, I have no idea how Ocarina of time isn't on your top 10 my guy, my odd listing on my top10 would be jetforce gemini.

in the "feels" . thats what separates the 80's from the 90's we dont use the word "feels" like that. Nintendo 64 was after super nintendo and the original Nintendo which were better well when Nintendo was the top seller or top Dog then SEga Genesis came

[@c.c.541]

When I was in primary school, my father bought me a Gameboy Pocket and a Famicom. To this day, I still remeber the smell of the video games section of the mall where we used to buy the game cartridges. I still remember the jittery feeling while I was looking at boxes upon boxes of games, imagining what they could possibly look like. It all feels so magical when you're a kid. I still play video games but it seems like the most of the magic is no longer there.

[@CapnK023]

As a kid we opened all of our presents on Christmas morning but no N64. Then my parents saw a letter on the mantle. Turned out to be a scavenger hunt from Santa. We found an N64 at the end and had a memorable Christmas.

as someone who was born in 99 and grew up into the 2000s i really wish i grew up in the 90s looked like the best damn era

[@ikki-gaming8933]

@@pvrplefrank1155 Early 90's was a fascinating time for sure, mid 90's until 1999 was okay, the only good thing about that time were actually video games and some underground music. I enjoyed the 00's a lot, you had the best of two worlds: you could still game a SNES or N64 on the couch with a friend, but you also could play any retro game you wanted on emulators, there was also online multiplayer and internet with access to tons of movies in different languages.

Rainy El Niño storm night. My parents say they need to go to target. We drive over, me in the back seat. Listening to Fleetwood Mac on the radio. We run out of the car into the rain, and slick parking lot. Parents take the shopping cart, and I run straight to the video game display and demo cases. I discover Mario 64… it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen or played. I’m 35 now and think about it all the time.

[@Paisles]

Similar story here. Im about to turn 30. Nothing is more nostalgic to me than the memories of sitting in front of the game cases checking out all the new games and admiring the artwork of the cases / boxes 😭

[@OmegaIvanovic117]

December 1996, I was 5 years old. My dad and uncle said they got us(My brother and I) something “nice”. I was not expecting anything big because we didn’t had a lot money back then. They show me the box N64 and Mario Kart, I couldn’t sleep that night. It was impossible for me to close my eyes other than blink from time to time. What a wonderful memory

My first gaming device was the Atari ST520. I call it a device because not sure it can be called a console. However, my fondest memories and gaming joy was spent on Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. I came from a poor background, so having these consoles meant so much to me. My Super Nintendo bundle was the Super Mario World, and my second game was the European version of contra called Super Probotector. To me, it will never be contra.

[@jinjowatts]

Love the channel man. Is your goal to have at least one of every game/console or do you cycle them out pretty frequently?

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

I’m not really a completionist with much. I don’t want every game/console, but right now it’s been a lot of fun collecting all the Nintendo handhelds and Pokémon items. My collection is full of stuff that’s meaningful, I think is cool, or I enjoy playing. Sometimes I’ll look at a piece that I haven’t thought about in a long time and decide to let it go. But the collection grows faster than it shrinks for sure 😂

[@blackcat-dh8gq]

I was reminiscing watching this. I was a kid when NES came out. I spent my childhood playing SNES. I remember reading a magazine behind the Christmas tree drooling over the forthcoming N64. My friends would come over and play N64 all night. I remember seeing it for the first time on demo at Toys R Us. I feel sad for those that missed these things and more.

Grew up with N64. Vividly remember having a jungle green one at a very very young age. Didn't know what happened to it but whatever we had a grey one passed down from my uncle and it lasted until 2013ish after years of play/abuse. Got a grey one and it's still running like a champ. Last year I scored a jungle green on eBay and will cherish it forever

I remember being a young kid and thinking about what I'd ask for if a genie granted me 3 wishes. I can't remember all the wishes, but I do remember that one of them would have been, when I turn on the water faucet at my home, instead of water, NES games would come pouring out. I've remembered that as a point illustrating that I have no idea what I really want and how, even if I could be granted my heart's desire, it probably wouldn't do much for my long-term happiness.. Seeing this, though, I guess I would be king of the nerds at these gaming conventions if I'd have gotten that wish.

The issue i always have with conventions like this, is there's often a lot of people selling the same thing, assuming we're not talking about super rare stuff, so it feels like trying to find the best price/best deal is hard as by the time you've looked all around and figured out that "yep, that first guy had the best price" you go back to find he's already sold it. I guess it's a "me problem" but it just makes these sort of things difficult for me.
