Video Game Hunting in LAS VEGAS! + PICKUPS! (PC, PS1, PSP, Atari & more!)

[@odinsplaygrounds]

Damn, the $1 collection in front is amazing. Regardless how common the games are. You barely ever see any retro games below $5.

Have a store here in Colorado with 2 dollar Bluerays, xbox one , 360 and psp games

[@chrissheppard342]

@@pumpkinpie7591 Those games you mentioned are not retro just a bit old now 🤣

[@V8chump]

If you paused it and zoomed in, the MASSIVE majority of those games were old terrible sports games… literally have to give those damn things away. The store probably bought a bulk collection that had a ton of them

[@JagGentlemann]

I love the fact that Robert Englund signed a Power Glove.

[@austindolan7182]

yeah, look at that, beat his high score.

[@Bl913]

Fun fact they weren't sure If Nintendo would pursue legal action If they used the actual Power Glove In Freddys Dead. They decided to do it regardless and Nintendo never had a problem with it. Freddy even holds it up and says "now I'm playing with power!"

I live in Vegas and follow Retro City Games’ page on FB, and saw their $1 sidewalk sale last Thanksgiving weekend. Crazy to think that if I had went at the right time, I could’ve met MJR. Was planning to go last Saturday afternoon. Great vid as always, fun to see all the local stores I’ve frequented talked about so highly. Also thanks for the tip on AGP possibly liquidizing next year, may make for some great pick ups.

[@fathan16]

Retro city games is the coolest store in Vegas. They are less of a professional place and more of a personal place. Which is exactly what I like to see in a game store. The wii play games store is very corporate feeling.

[@NobodyUR]

Is it like those garage sale type stores where they just toss stuff into a box might be huge steals might be junk Love those stores lol.

[@LVPB]

I absolutely love that store and have built most of my retro collection from that store I have over 2500 games now I stopped there at least three times a month absolutely fabulous collection

[@BoboBreez]

Wii play games has an excellent selection though. I was finally able to find a playstation gun con there when I went two weeks ago

[@handrewmillan4293]

The MJR channel is simply a win for everyone. He travels makes some extra income and enjoys his life out collecting. We are all watching and learning. And the mom n pop shops are getting exposure they may have never have had without his reach. MJR is nothing short of a legend. Rock on Brother, love from Tampa 🌴🙏🤘🤘

Nothing better on a Saturday morning than a cup of coffee and a road trip with Metal Jesus.

[@chrismyers7794]

I love your gaming videos, but these travel vlogs you do are truly quality. Better than some of the people that only make travel vlogs honestly. Especially going to cool places I've been to like Vegas or even cooler places I want to eventually visit like Japan! Keep up the good work man!

[@TheHoaxShow]

This is such a coincidence I just finished binge-watching your playlist of your game hunting travels living vicariously through them wishing I could travel

[@babyfudge]

A Gamers Paradise is one of my favourite places to go to in Vegas. Sad to hear that the owner might liquidate the store if he’s unable to find a buyer😢 I hope it stays open because that store is freakin’ awesome!!

[@rplane]

I always love these traveling video game hunting videos. Hopefully we continue to see more of them. I live vicariously through you in that regard. :D Thanks MJR!

[@anonymousjones6218]

I've been a fan of the retro gaming scene for years, and I subscribe to just about all of the most popular retro games channels, but I still get excited when I see a new Metal Jesus Rocks video has been posted! Here's hoping you're still posting videos well into the 2050s - and beyond!

[@bizzyb1464]

The little shuffle at 0:48 is awesome. Haha

[@oblivieon1567]

Hey! That's where I live! We do have a surprising amount of retro games here. We also have 2 Zia Records, which I'm actually heading to today! There's also Wii Play Games which I haven't been to in a while. Your room was amazing! Palazzo is a beautiful hotel. Thanks for covering the Pinball Hall of Fame, that's really a gem and we almost lost it when they moved into their new location. They did a fundraiser to complete construction and keep it open, that would have been a huge loss. Another weird thing people don't talk about much is we do have a swap meet called Broad Acres in North Las Vegas, that place is a super fun time!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I meant to hit up a few Zia Record locations, but ran out of time. Next visit for sure.

[@BrD4GOD]

Love this video. The amount of handhelds was crazy!!! I've never heard of those before. Thanks a lot for this awesome video! 📹 🎥

I live in Vegas and frequent both retro city game stores. I couldn't agree more with your assessment. The first store has the more rare stuff. Both stores are awesome and the owner is really nice.

Love your videos! Recently got into speedrunning and I want to do more og stuff like PS1 & PS2. Seeing your hidden gems videos helps me find games that I would never thought of getting or knew existed otherwise!

[@TheMultiGunMan]

MJR you need to have a show on the travel channel or something! These videos are so good!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks! These are fun videos to make.

[@Level1Sword]

I guess I just don't understand when collectors get tired of their collections. I can understand not wanting to collect anymore, but why liquidate everything and split up something you worked on for so long?

[@NobodyUR]

I'll guess your younger. I can tell you first hand you know that feeling you get when you get something new..when your older you'll probably get that same feeling when you get rid of stuff lol. Now I still have collections I have no plans on selling yet but. Assuming that will come someday top

[@eng3d]

Some of them are not collectors but buyers, for example people that buy a game and play it, or people that only buy it.

[@thomasbell8122]

It's pretty common to lose interest in things, and if you've found something else you're passionate in and need money for it, it's pretty tempting to liquidate the old hobby. I've done this a few times in the past and have regretted it every single time. The old hobby always comes calling.

These videos are great love seeing the travelling and searching for retro games. I stayed at the Golden Nugget of Fremont back in 2013,had the best time. Like the BTTF reference as well

[@BiotchProductions]

I used to live out in Vegas back in 2015. The Pinball Hall of Fame used to be in a small building on Tropicana, east of the Las Vegas Blvd strip. I love how the handicapped parking spaces looked like a wheelchair popping a wheelie while on fire. So glad that they moved to such an amazing location where they can truly show their Legendary collection!

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

My jaw was dropped to the floor for the entire duration of the “A Gamers Paradise”. I cannot believe that store, if someone described it to me I wouldn’t have believed them until they showed me a video lol!! Absolutely breathtaking. I cannot believe he’ll piece off the inventory if someone doesn’t purchase the store. Insane. But we in America are headed for tough times and he could be making a wise choice. We won’t have a lot of spare cash for retro games in the coming years…

Hi Jason, thanks for sharing these video game hunting trips with us, I really like them. To be honest with you, I'm a bit jealous of the retro gaming scene in the US. Back in Montréal, Canada, it's very difficult to find retro gaming stuff. We have a few stores, pawn shops and flea markets and that about it. My wife think that your wife is very patient during these trips...

definitely miss vegas! I was visiting my aunt who lived there about a decade ago, and on the way we'd happened to pass by the PHOF's original location, so I definitely had to make sure I stopped by there at least once while I was visiting.... haven't been to the new location but the original one was definitely jam-packed with a good mix of new stuff, the classics, and damn near any pinball game you can think of, it was wild!! maybe someday i'll be able to take the wife to the new location so crossing my fingers! there was a game store near it's old location although IDK if its still there now.

Better to get outta the game room and do it like this. it's like a band touring the states, hope you can visit all 50 states and game hunt, that would be a nice bucket list item.
