I’m a employee at game junkies!! Thank you so much for the shoutout!! 🎉🎉❤

[@johnhancockretro]

You are most welcome.

[@cax1175]

I actually picked Adam Koralik up from the airport last Sunday and we got pizza. I'll be at MO Game Con!

[@tigmo55]

It was such a pleasure getting to meet you in person, John! As a lifelong NES fan, I was honestly overwhelmed by the amount of items available (especially the ultra rare/heavy hitters) and it was such a fun adventure going from vendor to vendor and just looking at so many cool items from our childhood man. Thanks for taking the time to chat with this crazy NES fan and I hope to see you again possibly this November! ;)

[@GameJunctionMedia]

Thanks so much John for the shoutout. Was so great seeing you again. We’ll be seeing you again later this year I think!

[@johnhancockretro]

It was nice to see you in person. See you soon!

[@wiredupretro]

I found my CDi at that Ohio Thrift Store you visited :) Congrats on the Gameline and the Vectrex carry case!

[@claudioserradell4886]

Thank you for sharing your experience at the CORGS in Columbus OH. I love collecting rare retro gaming systems and games, specially from Atari. That sealed Gameline accessory and Vectrex carrier are amazing 🤩

[@danestegman155]

Good video! You got some nice great finds! Never seen that Gameline product before! Nice!

[@sherekhangamedev]

Holy moly, John, amazing findings, true treasures to preserve! One more impressive than the last. Congrats, man! Those can't be in better hands. Btw, I love that 1980s shirt 😮 I need a 1982 😂 Thanks always for the amazing content and good vibes.

[@johnhancockretro]

You are most welcome ad glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Atari2600_Dude]

That sealed gameline in the box is awesome.

[@DougPlummer]

So nice to see my Vetrex, getting some love! ( 4:39 ) trying to get TORGs to let me setup again.

[@kbrsretrogameroom327]

Great score! Would love to get Tutahnkham cib in my own collection. The Intellivison has a special place in my heart, even though I was playing my older brother's 2600 beforehand, the first system I ever owned myself was the Intellivision. Even though I have most of the original games for it in my collection, that one still eludes me.

[@FishDS9]

Great finds John! Congrats on adding these to your collection!

[@michaeldemers2716]

Thanks for the video. I love it when I get to watch these things. Great community.

[@MVLGAMING]

The inside of the Vectrex carry bag was clean. And I like that it had lots of pockets for the cartridges! Someone should make an aftermarket case like that!

[@johnhancockretro]

They have before

[@kjhoskins]

Great stuff, John. I love seeing you visit these places. Hopefully one will happen near me one day. Thanks for the video.

[@chocolocojames213]

Talk about Vectrex, I saw a Japanese version of it in a retro store in Taiwan. It was really cool to see firsthand 😊😊😊

[@brendanroberts1310]

Indiana Hancock and the Holy gaming Grails.

[@asacanaday6384]

That Tutankhamun was nice, I almost bought it I am glad you scooped it before me.

[@Jarod_Schultz]

I recently saw another KZbinr open a similar Magnavox Odyssey case. It must have been the same convention.

[@juanmartinstehle5047]

A retro paradise !!! Thumbs up Mr. Hancock.

[@Gaming-Enthusiast]

Congratulations on the pic ups , love the vetrex bag

[@velvetaeon2774]

Hope you are having a great weekend 😊 0:52

[@theodorerelic2718]

Oh man...I was really surprised at how big CORGS has gotten. The last time I was able to go had to have been around 2011 or so, when they had it at a little place that is usually a tax service beside Game On at Great Southern; I had brought my nephew with me. This time I was able to go and it was huge by comparison. I was there doing a video for my own channel and after I did that, was able to enjoy myself and blow my budget :) I saw y'all at the tables. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself here. If I get to go to TORGS I'll have to bring a bigger budget :)

[@Evercade_Effect]

John, I love your passion and enthusiasm. Your video brightened my day. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMultiGunMan]

This is a great video. I like seeing footage form conventions.

[@itscomplicatedwatches]

Great video. That Gameline sure was an interesting piece!

[@mukeshgoolcharan6121]

Good stuff man looking for the next 😊

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I have been to Comic Con years ago and found some video games there. I haven't been to a retro gaming convention but it looks like it so much fun. Great video John.

[@johnhancockretro]

Thank you for dropping by!

[@PongbyAtari]

Looks like a lot of fun I wish my health was better I would have loved to have been there. Congrats on the pickups and thanks for sharing the experience via video.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Outstandingly awesome pick-ups good showing and cool video John!👉😃👈

[@johnhancockretro]

[@thegamingcorner4095]

Very nice stuff John.

[@leeroyrousseau]

White castle and retro games. Bam.

[@Beamerverleih2012]

Man, that sealed gameline 🥰 Great score

[@gamevhsheroband7516]

see you in November at TORG GAMING EXPO!

[@Beamerverleih2012]

i got the vectrex bag for 20€ while hunting. Also got intellivision tut ench complete for 20 euro. But I sold both few years ago

[@danbroughton4954]

I found that Nintendo chest at a yard sale just 2 weeks ago! Mines in no where near as good as condition as the one in the video.

[@Videogamelover58]

Awesome stuff!

[@michaeldemers2716]

Just made some orders for Athletic World and D Fuzed for Gameboy and Go-Sub and Intellivania for Intellivision. Probably picking up Digital versions of 2021: Moon Escape and Murtop on Switch soon.

[@ibapreppie]

I was there to, was a blast, sorry I missed ya

[@johnhancockretro]

No need to be sorry, it was busy. See you next year hopefully.

[@jeffm5056]

I'm so pissed at myself for missing CORGS this year. I'm in Cincinnati, and totally meant to go. Oh well, there's always TORGS in the fall.

[@michaeldemers2716]

I guess Gameline did it before the SEGA Channel. Wow, I never knew that.

[@xdereksmithx]

How can you be sure a sealed game is the original seal, in light of the many home sealing machines that are now sold? Seems like anybody could air seal their old games quite easily.

[@johnhancockretro]

Easy don’t buy sealed games lol. I personally have to see a game in person to check a seal, but agree it’s tougher to spot these days.

[@DreamcastQ]

Good times

[@redstratus97]

What is a Sega Pluto?

[@johnhancockretro]

Adam Koralik and his channel talk all about it

[@MrStrangermoon]

intresting to acting on rare games opening tutankomom game box like real tutankomon tomb lol. death star battle spectrum version ı know wonder which version better.

[@joellutz4235]

O-H!!

[@johnnyhartdawg6220]

There are only 4 retro consoles I care about Atari 2600 Colecovision Nintendo Super Nintendo

[@StusGameReviews]

Great video and looks like a great convention! BTW, have you tried Q*bert for the C64?

[@johnhancockretro]

Yes, it’s good. Much better than the dreadful vic 20 version haha
