London Gaming Market - June 2024 & More

[@8BitBoyUK]

Set an lovely bits and pieces this time , buddy. Not actually done the london gaming markets. Bit of a shame because I know London really well but I just never get to go anymore since moving up North. To be fair , I probably would hate london now 😂

[@tootyuk]

Hahahahaha yeah once you are away i bet it will annoy the hell out of you, too many people!

[@ianrangers]

I love your vids Stu. Always calls a spade a spade. Still watching since 2013 😂

[@tootyuk]

Hahahaha thats me!

[@RETRORECLAIMER]

Great stuff stu. I agree with explaining how much things cost ..it's nice to compare, look back on and use as a guide when buying games 👍

[@tootyuk]

Exactly mate

[@SEGAZombie]

Always great to catch up with you and Daz, good to see Fob had ventured down south too I think the staggered entry worked really well this time round, it was good for you guys to have that continuity and consistent flow of buyers

[@tootyuk]

Yeah i agree defo less manic but still busy, you need to get yourself stalling out mate

[@retroimportgamer513]

Sounds like a good event Stu, I like the idea of staggered entry to give a steady flow of customers all day Not seen that Atari kids controller before, awesome find that Some nice Nintendo cardboard aswell Quite fancy one of those coloured console cases off Ali, i will buy one at some point when i stop buying other tat...lol👍

[@tootyuk]

Well the staggered entry will i think become standard for the "busy" events the next Brum one will defo use it i think! Ive been tempted many a time by the cases on ali express, i cant vouch for the build quality mind!

[@gaminggrandad10]

Great Video Tooty .was nice to meet you .ill see you at the next one in November if your going 👍👍

[@tootyuk]

Likewise, yes all things being equal ill be there

[@rodgyretro]

Great angle of the dangle... A cheeky load of pickups added Stu, nice one! Love that ps crystal case 😵‍💫

[@tootyuk]

Yeah tbh it was something different and truth be told with all the junk in here one of only a few places i could stand hahahaha!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Sounds like another fun time at London dude! 🤙🏻 Some great pickups again! What do you get for the man who has everything? 😂 An NTSC TMNT box and manual. I will keep my eyes open. Getting close on that N64 set dude. Didn’t know you were collecting for the DS as well. Looked like some fun titles there too. 🤙🏻

[@tootyuk]

Ah mate if you can keep you eyes peeled for me that would be awesome and im after a manual for dr jekyl mr hyde on the nes also ;)

[@PompeyGamesRoom]

Wow, great deal on the PlayStation cover, mate. I've seen those sell way more than that over the last few years, so great job. I will let you know if I get a copy of Southpark Rally mate, bidding on a lot of N64 bundles at the moment. Hope your keeping well.

[@tootyuk]

Yeah the cases were everywhere BITD you dont tend to see them too much now, yeah if you come across a box and manual (as i have the cart) or a CIB

[@steve36207]

That atari kids controller looks awesome... i think 🤣🤣 i always forgot it was called lylat wars toots buddy. Totally agree with you on the turtles cab bud

[@tootyuk]

Its a big ole telephone hahahaha

[@red7even52]

Yeah, landmaker definitely looks like a god sim from that cover, check out the Japanese PS1 cover they make it look like a chess game 😂and the arcade flyer at first glance makes it looks like a golf game 🤣 I think it was you that also pointed out that 'the Kickboxing' on the PCE is also Panza, seems like they had a different name for each system great stuff as always mate.

[@tootyuk]

Crazy isnt it, more so when its a bloody tetris/puzzle clone hahahaha! That IP has been chopped and changed more than any other i'd wager defo used and abused hahahaha

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

Seems like the staggered approach seemed to have worked, I take the staggered approach to life 😂 Glad to hear the market with well, Nice to hear the gaming granddad He's back on his feet and up and about it again

[@tootyuk]

Staggered FTW!

[@lggsretrofinds4461]

was cool to see u again mate

[@tootyuk]

Yes mate you too, hope you did well

[@lggsretrofinds4461]

@@tootyuk one was a error by her young son so passed that one off as a mistake second one i said i will let others now near me so everyone was watching out i was too busy to report them as by myself

[@VirajKathwadia]

Agreed, the staggered thing worked well, I think the market worked best this way as apposed to what we had back in March and November. It's overhwhelming and agree the day went quick. I spoke to one of the event organiser I think it will be in Russel Square next time. Yes like yourself I always do well at London. You should have prices, when you see no price it makes you think it's too expensive so people won't ask. I'll probs catch you at Milton Keynes gonna venture North, there is an event at Brighton and one in Bracknell but much small I'll be attending before that. James Pond 2...the GBA port is the one if we are talking handhelds :). TBH FFXII and most the FF games on the DS are very cheap, so you'll always win. As a DS version it's decent for what it is. Lunar Genesis is the worst Lunar game ever made, absolute garbage thats why it's cheap. :) Thanks for the shout out!

[@tootyuk]

Yeah ive got the booking form for Nov and its still Russell square. Oh cool yeah ill be a MK, still London to me hahahaha! well i cant speak to the handheld verisons the Miggy version is still the OG! ah yeah that explains it re the DS games

[@GenerationPixel]

I've heard a few lads say the staggered entry to the London Market was well received. I'm very much PC and not Mac, but at Uni in 1997 when we got those colourful iMacs in the design labs, they looked, and still look to be fair, very sexy. I've never even heard of Land Maker, but any PlayStation game fir a quid is a bargain any day of the week. Nice to see some tasty RPGs 😎👍

[@tootyuk]

Yeah it defo helps quell the masses, also means a steady flow of people and so the day doesnt drag (although in London its always busy) Yeah when i started in IT at 19 the marketing dept were all macs and they got a few of these in, defo a standout back in the late 90's!

[@mariotaz]

Nice!

[@tootyuk]

Cheers mate

[@DanielLane-lz3lj]

Nottingham gaming expo on the 20/21 of July

[@tootyuk]

Yeah i cant do that one sadly

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Huge fan of james pond, don't recall playing the gamegear version. Like that clear PlayStation case, very cool, I have a clear xbox. Nice nintendo cardboard, remember being disappointed with jurassic park, the other game you mentioned was way better. Shadow of the beast was a tech demo 💩. Know absolutely nothing about the ds mate, as always great pick ups.

[@tootyuk]

Well lets be honest robocod was its prime! What the first JP game on the snes? you wanted the MD platform version? i liked the adventure style of the snes one Hahahaha shadow of the beast what a game!

[@bettyhordeclinic6147]

hey monster much you got a copy nice going there pal need big bird myself lol Crystal playstation dont see them as much as you use too Best of the Best ? no, no, no that's Panza Kick Boxing played that to death on the Amiga and I have it on a few different ports, does play well on the Amiga. I really should jump on the DS bandwagon I just dont collect for it. Nice one take it easy Stu

[@tootyuk]

Cheers Bill, yeah the old case mods for the PS1's nearly as rare as the old nokia 3310 cases now hahahaha!

[@Champion2D]

I don't remember getting tmnt 3 from Blackpool. I know I beat you to a copy of Castlevania 3 though 😅. Nice adds Stu. Jurassic Park 2 in the snes is not one I see too often. It's on that Jurassic Park compilation that came out not too long ago. Shiren the Wanderer is about to come out with a new game. Bit of a low-key series that.

[@tootyuk]

Ah yes it was CV3! i knew it was a game that was the third of its kind hahahahaha! Yeah not a common one that JP for sure! Well for what i paid for the bundle mate it'll do for me!

[@Alsarcade]

Hi Stu, For all the years I’ve been collecting snes games I’ve never played or owned Jurassic park 2, you just don’t see it pop up. Drop zone one of my all time favourites on snes and only made it on pal region. Is there an Oxford gaming market coming up or have I missed it ?

[@tootyuk]

Hey Alex, yeah its not rare but a CIB one is slightly uncommon. Oxford has been and gone for this year mate, next one "close" to you would be MK i think in Sept

[@RetroEdUK]

Great to see you again. Glad it was a goodun for you. The guy with the incredible gameboy games is Viraj. Unsure if he has a YT channel but he does pop up on the podcasts. Cheers for the shout out mate 👍

[@tootyuk]

Hey Ed yes Viraj he is on YT but not making any content i found him on someone elses vid in the comments hahaha!

[@VirajKathwadia]

Haha, nice to know I got a growing fandom. XD.

[@pjmlfc05]

The last time I went London Gaming Market was last November. Was really shocking how packed it got and got kneed in the head whilst kneeling down to checking out Mega Drive games! I have heard the staggered system is better. Unsure as to the date of the next maket but hope to go and not get kneed in the head this time!

[@tootyuk]

Hahahaha London was hectic before the staggered entry, the next one is in Nov 10th mate still at the same place so far!

[@RetroRewind77]

That’s some lovely pick ups dude, oooo some sexy Atari and SNES. The best of the best I loved back in the day and completed it and so glad to finally get it boxed this year.

[@tootyuk]

Cheers elClinto, oh wow you completed on the snes? as i said i only ever played the Miggy version

[@RetroRewind77]

@@tootyuk funny enough I played it on the gameboy the other day and it’s not bad

[@tootyuk]

@@RetroRewind77 nice!

[@JimmyRetro]

Had no idea there is going to be a market at MK, might do that one! Do you know if there is going to be another Oxford one this year Stu?

[@tootyuk]

Neither did i Jimmy! well ive got the list of events and there is no oxford on there at the mo but the events stop at Nov (london) so perhaps one in dec would be nice!

[@TheRetroGodfather.]

Good to see you at the market again Stu, should be interesting to see what the new location for the market is like, hopefully its a bit bigger with more space 👍

[@tootyuk]

Likewise Dal, well it appears the one in Nov is still at the same place so far so we'll see if it changes!

[@DadLadsGaming]

I really enjoyed Panza Kick Boxing on the Amiga👌 Never tried it on the SNES but totally agree, it ain't karate😂

[@tootyuk]

It was too slow for me, i couldnt get on with it, also i remembered afterwards you could change your fighter but all they would do is swap the heads hahahaha it looked weird cycling through the fighters and seeing their heads change
