Metal Jesus: Video Game Hunter

I often get asked how I find retro games in the wild. TheBIGJB helps me run around the Seattle area looking for classic games and I offer some advice as well.

[@michaeldarabasz7210]

Every episode is a very special episode.

[@GameHammerCG]

Oh man, that game gear in a zip storage case just sent me back to my childhood. I had that very case, and it was annoying as hell because I couldn't fit all my games in it, so they were always going missing.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@MrBeJeCa95 - Thanks! I think I'm going for a mix of Reviews and the Video Gamer Lifestyle with my channel. One thing is for sure, I'd like to have more of my friends on it! Thanks for the feedback!

[@kranibal]

Man... time flies!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@MAMECADE - Thanks! It's fun for me to take the video camera out of the Man Cave a bit... and I like including my fellow gamer friends on the channel as well.

[@wcnmvp3820]

Actually in GameStop, if you ask the clerk or cashier or whatever to see vintage games, they'll show you. Like they support the Atari 2600, NES, SNES, C64, and Sega Genesis.

[@wcnmvp3820]

They usually hide the more expensive NES, Sega Genesis, and Atari 2600 consoles and games in the service room. But they hide the Commodore 64 games, N64 console and games, and the SNES console and games out in plain sight. Even though it's hard to see them. They blend in quite well with GameStop's wallpaper. And I only know this because my older brother used to work there and I got to see all of them!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@paradisewaster - LOL Awesome questions: I have an older CRT TV in the Man Cave that I use for my early 80's consoles. The last time I went to Europe on a 6 country tour was in 2008, and I LOVED IT! As for the cheapest console, those are the common ones like the Atari 2600, or PS1, etc. Sometimes for as little as $5 at Pawn/Thrift shops.

[@gamingfun100]

I really enjoy watching your videos. It looks like you put a lot of time and effort into making the video so it actually feels like I'm watching a segment off a actual TV show or something. Keep up the great work!

[@MAMECADE]

Very cool concept. Your last two vids have been a pleasure and refreshing to watch. Like a spring shower of retro games. Thanks for the tour.

[@Superbad22]

Best content now best content over a decade ago. One of the best in the gaming community

[@MetalJesusRocks]

THis is an OLD video…and you found it! Thanks for watching. 😜

[@PcGaMeRgUy420]

Damn I was still in high school when u filmed this! Glad to see you’re still going strong after all these years

[@Dragao1010]

6:17, i am just blown away. just so many games, and the gameboys just brought a smile to my face

[@corgikun2579]

they spent more at McDonalds :'(

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@EvilSatanBabyFromHel - I literally finished uploading it 60 seconds ago!

[@albertwesker2283]

Damn dude Roadblasters for sega genesis. When he mentioned that I was thinking about how much I loved that game

[@volkte37]

Another top video MJR. Nice to see around US based stores, we don't have a lot of that in the UK. There are plenty of cheapy stores but most just focus on PS1-PS2 stuff.

[@outlawbitsgaming1784]

Oldie but goody my friend!

[@maul_360]

Love these old MJR videos. Just started following you about 4 months ago and love the videos. One question, where do you find video games at goodwill? Every time I go in, I never find not one game. Does goodwill sell games like this anymore in 2017?

[@Slot1Gamer]

MetalJesusRocks Can you please do more videos like this?

[@nothanksbro420]

RIP Joni :( Hope Josh stays strong

[@chrish6500]

U should revamp this series and go out and hunt again. Really interesting

[@BenjiJames]

Echo the Dolphin for $2.95!?!?!?!?! It sells for more than $700 here in Australia!! D:

[@bersey20]

+Benji James where in Australia are you shopping lol? I got it off ebay complete in box about 3 months ago for $60

[@akpokemon]

wtf

[@joshuapimm282]

I got it for 25 in box and Manuel inside on ebay

[@Dingalingis]

25 bucks with a man named Manuel inside? good deal.

[@thedoc5848]

@@joshuapimm282 tbf, a boxed game with a free Spanish waiter, 25 bucks is a damn good deal

[@riley.schmit]

MetalJesus is THE most helpful retro game resource I've encountered. Thanks, bro!

[@SuperGatorfan1]

Menacer you use with the shoulder light gun. Robocop versus The Terminator is actually a bad ass game. Very good video, lol I do the same things when I go out. The hunt itself is alot of fun, especially when you find a real gem. Kinda like a scavenger hunt. Peace bro, and happy gaming.

[@TheGebs24]

Awesome vid dude. Gotts love the thirft stores!!! Thanks for the share!!

[@JamesCardwell]

When I was a kid Ecco the Dolphin scared me...I'm not sure why. lol. MetalJesus, this video was awesome! Keep on pumping out the genuine entertainment! You deserve every subscriber and I know there are thousands to come!

[@duncanrathband5492]

Amen to Pilotwings! Amazing game!

[@Smittz]

5:50 Menacer definitely does NOT suck. It's one of the only light-gun games on the Genesis and it's the best one by far, lot's of people play and love Menacer. I know how much you like light-gun games too, if you find a working controller and TV, please give it a try!

[@zhbvenkhoReload]

I love Vintage Metal Jesus Rocks more than the current MJR

[@edsheeran1243]

I love all eras of MJR

[@Smug_Scrub_88]

me too

[@Chocoburger]

Six years later the 'current' MJR is now also vintage. Heh.

[@brementer]

I thought I was the only one the read Baldurs Gate II. I also recommend reading the first one, Planescape Torment and Pool of Radiance. Pool of Radiance came with the game and a Music CD. Nice quick reads.

[@marc10934]

I would love more of these.

[@justinreilly3107]

Cool throwback video, gotta go now, that quarter pounder with cheese is calling me 🤤

[@gerardvreeswijk840]

MJR: "So none of these things were on my list ... to buy." 👍

[@jss302]

I love that you live in my area I am familiar with all these places:)

[@stashmerkin9576]

Robocop vs. Terminator was awesome on the Sega! I hope you got a chance to play it MJ.

[@xdarkstar21x]

Sweet Vid! Make some more like this!

[@changospank1]

that goodwill was stocked with games.almos every game i find i have go in and clean and sometimes fix. they look like they were pooped out by cloverfield.

[@glowyrm]

Hey, is Josh the friend that you went over and played SSX on PS2 for the first time?

[@peterian588]

500th like lol classic episode remember watching it back in the day .

[@DiabeticDood]

I used to live in Kent! Most of my family still does.

[@sonykroket]

How do you know the games you buy aren't broken before you play them at home?

[@ther3dr00m]

PLEASE do more videos like this.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@storino03 - Thanks dude!

[@kenball1980]

meataljesusrocks i would love to see more of this type content on your channel

[@aljr357]

Baulders gate two is an ok book but the cleric quintet by R.A.Salvatore is a really good set of five books in the same vein

[@cheesystick1]

I hear you on that $5.00 price tag. What is so magical about that price? That was nice of your friend to give you those free games. Rock on.

[@uba754]

Really glad to see some Seattle area retro hunting. This place is some of the best and worst retro hunting in existence haha. Keep up the good work!

[@MILLERTlME]

the Uk has nothing like this

[@boombya123]

yep it sucks all the charity shops in my area suck ass and Craigslist UK also sucks ass

[@MILLERTlME]

I totally agree

[@itechscotland2163]

agreed - no awesome gaming expos....or any cool "yard sales"....nothing....just scalperville, aka ebay where everything old skool gaming is like 900x the price. sucks.

[@jmacher4048]

iTech Scotland why don't a bunch of you guys get together and start one? That's how a lot of them got started over here, just people who love gaming trying to get the community together

[@muchomusiclibre]

crapvile Europe has a law against anything. In fact, this comment is illegal there, don't read it!

[@danmar7673]

Josh look like Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.)!!!!!!! Very look!!!!!!! Awesome

[@dindglebeaver]

U'r the men !!!!!! metal jesus definitely ROCKSSS!!!!! keep sharing the magik peace :-P

[@ryantate64]

Awesome vid! Pilotwings is definitely a great pick up!

[@TheBigJB]

Video turned out great! Had a great time hanging with you, man! We'll have to do some more together! Maybe a hunt down here during Garage Sale season. Get your hunting gear on! ;)

[@TEEN1DOL]

What the hell? I visit pawn shops, Goodwill's, Thrift Stores, and all that jazz ALL THE TIME, and I NEVER find anything remotely as cool as a complete Dreamcast console, let alone a stack of assorted games in general lol. Los Angeles resident, here...

[@volvoguy804]

The terrible cupholder location of the old VWs.

[@redsox15harmon]

Dude you are the best but here is a suggestion on making your videos please, please make a video about everything you have from your dream cast to your mac;)

[@TheVideoGameHunter]

dude you should do more videos like this! ha awesome awesome

[@WOWMovieFacts]

No joke, Robocop vs Terminator is one of my favs on genesis

[@buuuba7022]

Metal Jesus is so kawaii when he found games he likes

[@shortbreadhead]

I didn't realise iron man was into pandas

[@thebrammerhammer23]

I wonder what happened to TheBigJB?

[@fjdcm61218]

u should try wunderlist, instead of dropox for listing wanted stuff.

[@SEEtheREPLAY]

4 months later. 1st post :)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

If it makes you feel better, it's Puerto Rican.

[@himortal7]

Jesus, what 7 years of technology does to game hunting. "I use google maps" brings out ten pages of print outs... 'And i use an ipod to figure out what I need" omggg

[@RetroGameBros]

Hey, we are from the Seattle area too. We are just starting off and it would be cool to get some advice from you, please respond asap.

[@saullima1587]

I’m a big metal jesus fan And now I know that his name is Jason! 😱

[@strocat25]

im sure you found out metal jesus... but... menacer is a genesis cart that only works with the "menacer" genesis light gun. :p cheers I cant believe I've been subbed to you for like 7-8 years now

[@BoneBaron]

OMG BG2 Shadows of Amn!!! I wana get the book but i can never find it...... i also cant find Icewind Dale........

[@AstorReinhardt]

fff....I'v been to every single one of those places (except the browser's books) and I'v never found anything like what you find. I will have to say that pawn shop is one of the best places to go, some of the prices are overpriced of course but the lesser known titles can usually be snagged for cheap.

[@knitkate]

I had Echo the Dolphin on the Game Gear when I was a kid. I could never get past the first level, because another dolphin wanted a fish to move out of my way. I couldn't figure out how to not eat the fish myself. That game was a big reason I took a break from gaming until I became an adult. Frustrating!

[@Daz555Daz]

25 bucks for a Game Gear and a load of games? Wow.

[@chewba2008]

Geez, that's an old one!

[@Jamesplayz]

I always called the game echo the dolphin .. Also that game is hard as hell

[@alexrohner1984]

my goodwill has nothing but cod ghosts on the ps3 and madden 04 on the gamecube

[@storino03]

Great video

[@JohntheGameCollector]

Ecco the Dolphin is fun, but it is quite challenging.

[@rockinfetus916]

So u like Shadows of ahm too, It's my favorite too.

[@_bring2light]

Bro I know its like 13 years later. but Ive been searching for a good deal on an Xbox X and I found it on Craigslist today LOL

[@TheUlleberg]

Classic!

[@toadsage]

Metal Jesus used to have pierced ears? Can't believe my eyes

[@mcstyle24]

I like your two ear ring, You wear them again

[@curtiswager6355]

[@oneminuteguitarlessons6732]

[@linushyper300]

[@new.wave.city.]

[@JimBob-vg2og]

Wow blast from the past 🤣

[@MetalJesusRocks]

One of my first game hunting videos I think... 😂

[@aljr357]

[@TheDVDGamer]

[@manlazy602]

[@hughlingard]

[@davesaviour9060]

[@thesilentseal]

[@kryyptyyk]

Seattle/Pacific Northwest is a rare land, of many sights and sounds. ;)

[@SadMonti]
