My Game Collecting in 2025, gets off to an amazing start! And I visit Lees Games in Morecambe!

[@Snestastic]

Nice start to the year Paul. I've never seen anyone show DNA before. PS2 library is so huge. Amazes me how people still keep showing games I've not seen before. Can't beat getting a nice condition N64 game. I only need a handful of games for the console now. This year I'll be building a new snea collection. Can't wait 😃

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

The PS2 library just keeps giving! DNA just looked and sounded intriguing so it's been on my list to find for a while! But yeah, I was after something a little special or different but once I saw LoZ, I knew I was having it. Had to be done!

[@VirtuaFather]

Great video mate and thanks for heads up about Lees Games in Morecambe. I’m in Yorkshire but my kids are in Greater Manchester, so we will have to nip up for a day out in Morecombe now. Seaside and retro games…perfect day 👍🏻

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Good stuff mate, and Lees Games is great, plus there's a couple of other smaller games shops there (one in the market), and Lancaster is on 10 mins down the road too for a CEX! Thanks for watching mate!

[@samis6631]

Great haul and nice backstories m8 !

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Thanks mate, and thanks for watching!

[@adw147]

Always a pleasure to catch up pal

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

You too mate, more than likely, ill see you in the summer! 😃👍

[@LyonsGamezx]

Excellent video man! Nice pickups 😁

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Thanks mate! 👍

[@TheTriggerTrey]

Nice little collection that you got going on.

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Thanks mate 👍

[@Neoplasmic24]

Great video, Paul! And you introduced me to a game I had no knowledge of in this! DNA: Dark Native Apostle. Never even heard of it before, but it sounds really cool! Keep up the great work!

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Thanks mate! Yeah, DNA is an interesting one, though the number of people who know nothing about it, might suggest something in itself, but I'll give it a go! Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@theautisticwitcher64]

Nice mix of pick ups hoping to pick up some Nes games next week 😮

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Nice! Nothing like picking up some 8bit goodness! One thing I'd like to do this year is get a few more gameboy games if I can.. thanks for watching as always mate!

[@jonathanpearson72]

I’m lucky I live close to lees games and Andy the owner is an absolute star. Nice pickups 😊

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

A legend! It's such a tough business as well so to be around and have lasted so long is fantastic. Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@retroimportgamer513]

Got to agree it is strange how some games weren't changed to a "mega" prefix rather than a "super" on the Megadrive Lee's Games does look a good shop, have seen a few mention that👍

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Not sure if it's something to do with the original arcade games as lot of the early MD games with Super in the title were arcade ports, not sure, but never sounds right to me! Lees is great, always worth a trip! Thx for watching mate 👍

[@trebornewo3354]

Lee's Games is awesome. My local game shop. I visit about twice a year and spend hours browsing for bargains. He gives good trade-in prices, too.

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Brilliant isn't it, like you I could spend hours looking through all the games and retro cabinets! Thanks for watching 👍

[@RetroRewind77]

My mates always bangs on how good Lee’s games is and how well priced it is. I have the loose cart of Zelda and I’ve been trying to add it cib last few months so definitely one I will get this year.

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Well worth a trip! I'm always quite happy to just collect carts for the n64, but Zelda just feels like it's an essential for it and having boxed and complete just feels right!

[@RetroRewind77]

@ I sold a lot of my loose carts as just wanted cib only but kept a few of the ones I want to remind me

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

23:23 Rollcage supports the NeGcon. It's a very odd racing game, but I guess not as odd as Kirby Air Ride.

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Haha, it's (or was) pretty unique at the time, flawed but lots of fun! Stage 2 is just brilliant though, overlooked gem of a game! Thanks for watching mate!

[@JakeP.90]

Ready to rumble boxing Round 2 - great times had on that game! Agreed with Wrecstlemania, tactical marketing I guessbut Mega Wrestlemania sounds better to me. Zelda condition looks spot on too, I only have a few n64 boxes myself, and they do really look great in a collection

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Yeah very happy with that copy of Zelda! Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@AnotherNormalYorkshireman]

I love to see ps1 pick ups. Rollcage is excellent

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Yep, has it little annoying traits, but still really good!

[@AnotherNormalYorkshireman]

@pixelpaul_pxp it's ps4 "reboot" is OK too. Not as good as the originals but it's still a blast. It's called grip in case you didn't know

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Yeah, I have that! Got it really cheap last year and it's very very similar, really enjoyed it though!

[@retropursuit992]

paper mario the thousand year door has gone down to 50-60 quid due to the remake. pretty wild.

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

I'd not checked for a while, but that doesn't surprise me really, though a remake doesn't always have an effect but for that it sounds like it has a little!

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

I didn't know about Rat Attack's dramatic price climb. You updated my clock by four years. Congrats on Zelda. Did you guys have a special edition Ocarina of Time over there?

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

I don't think so but I know there was a different colour cart at some point, Gold like the Majoras Mask one, it was a pre order thing but I'm not sure it was in the uk...

[@S3lph131]

I must admit.. I never pay too much attention to sales.. I do have slight fomo on retro and switch imports.. I got a limited edition. Tokyo Clanpool.. which has already been stated as banned in EU/US even though the questionable content has been removed lol.. it's a first person dungeon crawler.. was concerned... it'd be hard to come by later and trying for all JRPGs..😅 Princess Maker 2.. a "tamogochi" style game never released physically.. where you are a ward for a princess and raise various stats as she grows up.. effects endings.. Lastly Pokémon crystal boxed and complete for my birthday.. £80 cheaper than CEX ATM and working save 🎉🐐🥳

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

True, sales aren't what they used to be, I guess that's partly down to spending all year, every year looking for gaming bargains, so when the sales do arrive, you've seen it all before, and cheaper! Tokyo Clanpool sounds interesting, will have to check out, intrigued as to why it's been banned? 😄 thanks for watching mate!

[@donaldmackerel]

I quite liked Gun Grave Gore, too. I've just bagged Gun Grave VR, but apparently, it's awful 😂 I've never heard of DNA - it's looks pretty cool.

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

Yeah, seen that GGG had a VR version too, not as cheap as the standard Ed is it? Not quite sure how it would work in vr, but let me know! DNA is an interesting one, but I like these games you don't see around often, always intrigue me! Thanks for watching mate!

[@donaldmackerel]

@pixelpaul_pxp I always pick up anything that looks interesting and is relatively cheap. I've been stung more often than not, but you occasionally find an absolute banger like that. The Dog Island, for example. The Dog Island. GOTY.

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

I'm starting to think you invested or developed Dog Island DM... 😆

[@donaldmackerel]

@pixelpaul_pxp that's slander, that is

[@pixelpaul_pxp]

😆
