Actually people talk about Battle for Bikini Bottom all the time. It just got a remake this year lol

[@retrorick]

ha my bad! Thanks for watching

[@chrisward1500]

Rick: "Danny Phantom, idk its a newer Nickelodeon tv show" all early 2000s kids: 😖😖😖😖😖

[@gdilla4452]

I actually watched and loved that cartoon lol

[@retrorick]

hahaha im an old man i guess

[@retrorick]

@@gdilla4452 i need to check it out!

[@gdilla4452]

@@retrorick yes check it out and old??no lol I'm old 47 to be exact 😂😂😂just a big ol Toys R Us kid

[@chrisward1500]

@@retrorick lol no worries. It just made me realize how old of a show it is now. But its definitely worth watching if your able to keep in mind its a kids show from 2004. Its a classic from that era.

[@TheRealJamil]

Smackdown Here Comes The Pain. It’s still talked about among wrestling fans but not by video game collectors. Super underrated wrestling game that still holds up today.

[@retrorick]

nice pick! we actually recently sold that game

[@donovanbradford8231]

Was at the top of my list got a solid complete back in my collection.

[@kalloop5526]

This is literally my favourite thing to watch on KZbin, netflix, Amazon video etc. Pleasee keep em coming Rick!

[@nite_driver_7895]

Love it man! Doing this with dvds, games, etc for a living now!

[@calebkleven614]

I will forever defend Snoopy Vs. The Red Barron on ps2. That was the first game I had played ever I think at my uncles house and loved it. The graphics even hold up outstandingly well to this day. To play that game again was the whole reason I bought my ps2 in March of this year. Took me a few months to find it though. Pretty obscure game to find in the wild but it can easily be had for around $15.

[@gbccollin8700]

Once you’re done with the challenge you should take what you don’t already have and give the rest away as a patron giveaway

[@retrorick]

thats a good idea...thanks for the suggestion Collin!

[@franco714gunz9]

Love the content , keep it coming. One of my favorite games on the PlayStation 2 everyone should check out is Scarface , it starts off where the movie left off and you get to survive the ambush in the mansion and go after Sosa

[@KatelynJewel]

People don't talk about Battle For Bikini much? I hear about it all the time when it comes to licensed games. It's often praised as one of the best video games based on a TV series and it even got a remake that was released earlier this year.

[@retrorick]

ha i guess i dont hear people talk about it much...thanks for the info Katelyn!

[@matthewbraith0411]

They only think it's good because they played it when they were 5, as a video game it sucks.

[@grantt4532]

Psi ops Mindgate conspiracy was one of my top 5 PS2 games. Plus that intro song by Cold? BANGER

[@matthewmidigi4903]

Thanks again for brightening my Monday! The fact that people don’t talk about the Xenosaga trilogy for the PS2 is criminal.

[@BunnyRain946]

WALL-E for PS2 is actually much better than you would expect.

[@retrorick]

ha, would have never of guessed that!

[@Dynasty_VR]

My all time favorite PS2 game is Persona 3. Not exactly unknown but definitely deserves more love as one of the best JRPGs of all time.

[@fobiwancollecting5400]

One of my favorite series is a PlayStation series and that’s the Hot Shot golf games. Put a lot of time into 3 and Fore. Let’s give Hot Shots more love

[@gavinmorin]

2 of my most played PS2 games when I was younger were Disney Extreme Skate Adventure and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and I love them so much. I feel like nobody ever talks about either of them nearly as much as they should.

[@NoelleSmash]

Oh, Scooby Doo night of 100 frights is a solid Scooby themed platformer. Check it out for sure

[@retrorick]

i will...thanks Logan!

[@NoelleSmash]

@@retrorick yeah, it still looks and plays good today

[@DoYouNerd]

Ha ha ha--that Sneak King game was freaking hilarious--but so creepy in first person mode where you can hear the King breathing. Viewtiful Joe is fantastic. And I always push the Maximo games on PS2--they so need to revisit that franchise. Oh man, soooo love seeing those NES boxes--that is awesome! The artwork, for the boxes and then in the manuals, is so good and often lost to time.

[@retrorick]

Maximo is sooo good! So glad you mentioned it! Boxed games are my favorite...its a sickness

[@joshuacamps4990]

Thanks for the regular uploads👍

[@michal1713]

By far the best series on KZbin! Love it❤️

[@mkmclm1]

PS2 games you don't here enough about: Graphiti Kingdom, Magic Pengel, Disaster Report, Mr. Mosquito. Trog for NES is an awesome game! I played that for months. I love when the big Tyrannosaurus cut loose and chased the cavemen

[@Pointer243]

Yu-gi-oh duelist of the roses and beyond good and evil are some underrated games for the PlayStation 2

[@thatmudkipwholikescars]

100% agree on yugioh duelist of the roses.

[@retrorick]

ill check them out!

[@retrorick]

@@thatmudkipwholikescars thanks for the suggestions!

[@TimBrice7]

Love picking up boxed games especially on the cheap. It's the artwork, its the feeling in your hand and that nostalgia in your heart. I always thing man that's what I was looking at when I was 8 dreaming about what that game might be.

[@retrorick]

haha heck yes...i completely agree!

[@cheshiredon]

Wow. Super sweet find. I started picking up boxed NES I'm really nostalgic for, and that Kings Quest would have been an amazing find.

[@stashmerkin9576]

I loved the Katamari Damacy games on PS2! They're frantic action/puzzle games where you roll a ball around picking things up with a very cultural Japanese aesthetic.

[@swupetey05]

Victorious Boxers 2: Fighting Spirit is one I feel like doesn’t gets talked about. I hadn’t even heard of it until I ran across it on a thrift shelf.

[@retrorick]

never heard of it...ill check it out!

[@swupetey05]

@John Rodriguez Under $3 - like $2.92 or something like that. It was CIB

[@ZackMuffinMan]

My favorite PS2 game is Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. I have it on PS2 but it's also on the GameCube I'm pretty sure. Great game!

[@retrorick]

nice..i need to check it out!

[@skatespyx]

Man, I used to have several Game Xchanges near me but they unfortunately all went out of business. Some of my best finds were there... Great video as always Rick. Always looking forward to the next one.

[@tylerseese449]

Tony Hawk Underground and Battle for Bikini Bottom, so many hours of my childhood spent on those!

[@stevem7820]

This channel has made me check out my local thrift stores more regularly hoping find some gems. I never usually find anything, but i recently found a sealed metallica guitar hero for xb 360. Bought for $4, sold for $60. Thanks Rick!

[@hasibasim1]

Oh man Dark cloud 1 and 2 my favorite games from the ps2. I have been searching for them in the wild for so long just and can never find them.

[@retrorick]

i love the Dark Cloud games!

[@retro_lover9769]

A very underrated PS2 game that is the staple video game from my childhood is Red Faction. It is a FPS placed on Mars. It is very cheap and a ton of fun! Keep on hunting and the $10 game collection has gotten insane, I have been here since day one for it and I'm really impressed with how massive it is. Keep up the great work !

[@scubasteve5857]

My buddy Rick ALWAYS coming through when I need my fix! I had forgotten about TROG!!!!!!!!! Thanks man, the trips down memory lane are top notch

[@josephrizzo46]

PS2 game that I loved that I don't hear talked about too much, Zone of the Enders

[@retrorick]

never heard of it!

[@TobuscusSkylander]

I have it!

[@upsetfeet]

My favorite PS2 game is PaRappa the Rapper 2 and Tetris Worlds. Tetris worlds is common but nobody talks about it. I love it!

[@analogmoron3945]

I still cannot believe you built that whole game shelf with only $10. That’s so awesome

[@retrorick]

i know, its pretty wild!

[@jengelenm]

As being a big fan of the Worms games, Worm 3D and Worms 4: Mayhem are my favourite PS2 overlooked games. I was so suprised it still existed when i saw it in the shop back in the day! And they are very good and great co-op fun!

[@InkwellInvader]

Second sight is a severely underrated PS2 hidden gem. the game is a spy like shooter with horror elements and psychic powers. if you like f.e.a.r. then you'd like second sight

[@retrorick]

ive heard good thing about it!

[@paceeilers2253]

Rebel raiders: operation night hawk is kind of hidden gem. I love it.

[@retrorick]

nice...ill check it out Pace!

[@Casualgamingpoet]

That boxed stuff is real nice. I love when stores have good prices. It makes it so much easier to spend money. Ps2 gems would be Mark Echo's getting up. Pretty not as bad as you would think and really captures a lot of the tagging culture. One that I really like is Castle Shikgami 2. Fun shooter, that can be really tough.

[@mahmoudnadi9683]

My local goodwills dont sell video games in store anymore. They send them all to one location and sell them in lots on ebay. They literally take all the mario games on Wii and sell them in lots of 50, then other games are thrown into a massive lot.

[@DayTradingStrategiesNet]

Dynasty Warriors. Literally my entire childhood on the PS2

[@r.b.animalsandmovies4186]

I just sold Planet of the Apes vhs series for 50 dollars and I picked them all up for 2 dollars

[@retrorick]

oh wow..thats a killer flip!

[@r.b.animalsandmovies4186]

@@retrorick yep, I been looking out for game now to flip now, since I started watching your videos last week

[@Dtron2021]

Time Splitters 2 on the PS2 was one of my favs. Hot shots golf series was always fun. And Simpsons Road Rage

[@gamingnow6690]

Great video, you might need some more shelves for all those games soon.

[@d.r.807]

Im so glad you mentioned Viewtiful Joe! This may have to be the only time in 10 years I've heard someone mention it. Great game!

[@davidpallotti4502]

I've always been a complete in box kinda person. My dad always told me to take care of my stuff, which is probably why most of my N64 games from childhood still are complete lol. Even now, if I see people with collections of disc based games in a stack with no case I cringe, it hurts my heart. Cartridge games not in box isn't so bad.

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

Got my first big break today at the local flea market. Wasn't even going to buy anything. Guy had couple ps2 games at his stall and one gamecube case in the mix. Fifa 06. I was just kinda flipping through them idlely. I happened to open the gamecube case and there was a gameboy player disc in there. Sold it to me for $2! I'm still coming off that adrenalin high.

[@HoonAgain]

Great stuff!! Great boxed nes score!! Hey @Retro Rick you ever start another channel about buying n selling golf equipment let me know. Tons of money there that a lot of ppl have no clue about except serious golfers. Badass u had a golf scholarship in college. Golf is my favorite sport to play since my late teens. U can play it till ur 90!!

[@tonymiranda917]

I have a good question for you, I'm not sure if u have ever shared this before in any of ur videos but what is ur secret to removing stickers off of boxes or game cases? Especially those pesky goodwill stickers. I noticed price stickers on those NES boxes and I'm curious how u would remove them to sell on eBay.

[@retrorick]

its a process...maybe ill make a video on it!

[@homefry84]

I loved the twisted metal games on ps2, can't remember which numbers were on that system but went over to a friend's and meleed until I had to go home for dinner, good times

[@bushbanditsbushcraft2228]

My game store does this as well one time they had a bunch of n64 accessories all in the box n64 cleaning kit, expansion pack, controllers. It was crazy

[@therealbitwars]

Nobody enjoys Napoleon Dynamite on the first viewing. But then the quotes stick in your head and you can't resist it.

[@edfivedownunderplasticplanet]

PS2 Bloodrayne & Star wars Bounty Hunter loved them both. Epic haul there Rick. Cheers👍🏻🍻

[@Danewd98sChannelgaming]

I just recently picked up Rhythm Heaven at a local Retro game store for $20. Best deal I got in a retro game store since most of my stores keep up to date on pricing for loose and complete. Sad reality for me but was surprised to see that they never changed the price on Rhythm Heaven.

[@CincyGameHunting]

OMG, how were all those CIB NES games sooooo cheap? I have a feeling someone that was doing the pricing that day was just looking up the loose price and slapping it on the box. Amazing score Rick!!! One of my favorite PS2 games was Dragon Quest VIII. Not sure if its really a hidden gem, but it is an amazing game!!! Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open was a lot of fun too.

[@Mega-Matt21]

one game that is a must play on the ps2 is contra shattered soldier! I love how they incorporate alot of the bosses from the previous games and it has that 3d element added to bring contra to another level!

[@Beta464Original]

Ahh Game-X-Change, I love their pricing system. I've nabbed SO many CIB games for loose prices from them, the manager is holding a CIB Shin Megami Tensei IV for me, worth over $60, they're selling it for $22, can't beat it!

[@jeremytalkingeverything]

Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero and TER Three. To my knowledge these are the only two the brought over here. Still they are amazing racing games and were so much fun.

[@josiahs9559]

I actually have Tokyo Extreme Racer on the Dreamcast, lots of cool 90s era JDM cars!

[@dominiktatarka4810]

My absolute favourites that are not so well known are: 1. X-Men Legends 1 2. Dogs Life 3. Tim Burton Nightmares before christmas 4. Donald Duck Quack Attack 5. Looney Tunes Back in Action 😇🙏

[@mikeczelusniak2448]

A PS2 game that doesn't get talked about enough is X files it is amazing!!!

[@pauljennings8432]

That Golf game reminded me of the Simpsons episode when Marge buys Bart the golf game and it wasn't what he wanted, lol.

[@Derecuda]

Chu Chu Rocket on Dreamcast would be my initial pick for a hidden gem, although I'm sure I'll come up with something better. I've mentioned it before with the platformer question, but the Bonk games on TurboGrafx 16 are definitely hidden gems.

[@spitt0110]

I loved playing Time Splitters on PS2. But a game that I can never get sick of is Gauntlet Dark Legacy, and the Balders Gates Dark alliance 1 and 2.

[@patrickpaquin4652]

Taiko Drum Master is a super cool easy to pick up rythm game on the Ps2! Well known in Japan not that much in the west. I always brought it at family parties picked everyone's curiosity and every cousins, aunts and uncles played for at least one song!

[@sylveyawn7957]

I'm literally checking my sub box everyday now to see when you upload

[@GrumpyWolfTech]

I paid 10 for an OG xbox at goodwill, wish I still had my original but the goodwill one works and I modded it using coin ops which literally puts thousands of retro games on it, I love it! Also I got some of the other burger king games at goodwill, 1 of them was pretty fun.

[@ZefTillDeath8878]

Wow, I wish it was this easy. There are no thrift stores in MN that would let a boxed NES game on the shelf for anything under eBay prices.

[@retrorick]

oh man that stinks

[@jasonshouseoffunandvideoga7169]

Compete in box games are definitely the easy I like to go. Some of the games I've gone after I've gone cart only because of the amount of money. The artwork on a box will definitely get my attention. Other than nostalgia, it's the same reason I jumped down the vhs and laserdisc rabbit holes 🤣. Awesome job with the vid Rick! 👍

[@retrorick]

some prices on cib games are insane!

[@TECuber99]

I grew up on gamecube and Wii so I nevery really enjoyed the PS2 but I play games from it on my backwards compatible PS3. I mostly play the common stuff like God of War but I also enjoy Battlefront 1 and 2 and one of the lesser talked about star wars games, Jedi Outcast. Great game

[@BartShrimpson]

The Fairly OddParents Shadow Showdown was my all time favorite ps2 game, I was in the 3rd grade when my dad bought it for me. Very nostalgic for me!

[@TheMonsterkid1447]

Battle For Bikini Bottom was a favourite growing up. Other solid titles I don't hear about often are Star Wars Battlefront 2, Destroy All Humans, and a guilty pleasure of mine: early Harry Potter games (3 being my favourite).

[@Gunit-xd1ll]

Insane prices on those boxed NES, I'd buy them all day

[@seanb7036]

Shadow of Colossus is an amazing game and I don't usually hear anyone talk about it. The game is also fairly good priced at around $15.

[@retrorick]

such a great game...thanks for watching Sean!

[@retrobro61]

Loved all the Gran Turismo games. They are well designed and packed with content if you are in to racers.

[@theyo-kaiguy]

One PS1-PS2 Game series you should check out is the Suikoden games, A lot of people (at least from where I'm from) don't seem to know about the series and it definitely deserves a lot more recognition

[@dbarber1313]

The Mark of Kri! I've literally never heard anyone else talk about it lol Also, Peter Jackson's King Kong is super underrated

[@danimartinez3465]

I think manhunt is a pretty underrated ps2 game my favorite was manhunt 2 both are great games tho btw I’m super jealous you found a complete season of Danny phantom 😆 I wish I would’ve found that in my local goodwill

[@DannyGPro]

I had a VHS player and a separate VHS rewinder in my room, sick times as a kid lol

[@retrorick]

hahaha you were the man then!

[@TheFlippinDad]

I was a big fan of the NCAA Gamebreaker series. Most people don’t love sports games but I loved those

[@THISGUYISHIGH101]

I used to have that three stooges game on the advertisement. it was really fun back then!

[@jvyoutube1717]

Thanks for your time!:)

[@Beampit]

Labyrinth on VHS sells really well, and I find them all of the time. RIP David Bowie!

[@ifidie7]

I played Syphon Filter all the time. Don't know if the rest of the series holds up, but I loved playing the first one on my PS2. Cool NES finds.

[@dropchuck]

PS2 games to check out.... Spyro, Gran Turismo, and Twisted metal games don't get enough love.

[@Figures.Horror.Music.]

I didn't know Golf scholarships were a thing! Awesome.

[@chunksgames]

Wheel of fortune on PS3 is $12-$14. You wouldn’t think that would have any value, but it does.

[@Mischieff3k]

2 of my underrated PS2 games are Frequency and Amplitude. They were precursors to Guitar Hero.

[@jakedominguez952]

I don’t hear much about Goldeneye Rogue Agent for PS2 but that was a fun game. Pretty sweet story mode🤙🏼 The rail gun is hilariously fun to use.

[@8BitGlitch79]

Nice score on the boxed NES games. That is amazing!

[@oscarandrade1643]

Awesome video,Danny Phantom is a older show,early 2000’s 😅. The Tekken series,5 especially is a great PS2 game.The Crash racers are good too.

[@CanadianRetro]

Nice additions. Underrated games of mine are definitely the Deception series on ps1, trapt on ps2 and there are later ones as well. I love the series but few people know about them. They are not cheap generally.

[@kornelart3122]

Hi Rick ! Greetings from UK!

[@CodenameNovacaine]

Phantom Brave on the PS2 was an amazing game and there was a wii port as well. Awesome JRPG that holds value.

[@Retro_Pirate]

I really enjoyed Smuggler Run on the PlayStation 2.

[@retrorick]

love that game too Paul!

[@lestforce4810]

Underrated ps2 game has to be splashdown 2. One of my all time favorites.

[@joeyvlo]

4:50 Actually the song that plays during the intro credits is by Jack White and who doesnt love When In Rome's The Promise which plays during the outro credits.

[@texastoast7514]

Ghost Rider on PS2 is actually really fun, it's not based on the blockbuster film of the same name

[@joshuagordon604]

Dang I need to come visit that store, can’t find any boxed video games down here. Currently just have Battletoads cib and the cartridge freezes on me.nice finds. Keep it up man.

[@retrorick]

it doesnt happen very often but im pumped when it does!

[@SuperNicktendo]

Nice NES Haul! I sold my PS4 and a spare N64 with Resident Evil 4 for the PS2. Currently up $240. Was debating selling off some other stuff like my SNES mini and Top Loader NES, but I think I'll at least hold on to the Top Loader for now. It's just so quirky!

[@SuperNicktendo]

Also I used to find Xboxs for 5 dollars ALL THE TIME and flipped them for $50 each. Sometimes they would have games inside as well.

[@ajeethvellore4278]

Rygar is a fun one that I don't hear people talking about

[@retrorick]

ill check it out!!!
