My Paris Retro Game Pickups 2024! | Retro or Bust!

Here's the Paris game hunt pickups video I promised!
As you know, we went on a trip to Disneyland Paris last month & also ventured into the city to do a spot of sightseeing and retro game hunting along the fantastic Boulevard Voltaire! In this video I finally reveal what I picked up, the nightmare we had getting to France and what is up with my SNES?!

Love that Super Back to the Future II pickup. Nice haul AND you didn't pick up what you've got coming to you at PXB! Get stoked.

[@RetroOrBust]

Hmmm...I'm guessing it's not Chase HQ 2? 😉

[@ippybar5117]

Hi mate. Some nice pickups there. Super Back to the Future 2 ❤❤❤ I'm actually only 9 miles from Forgotten Worlds (it's in the middle of nowhere) so hopefully you can manage to get up at some point.

[@RetroOrBust]

9 miles? Nice! If I lived nearby, I'd never be away from the place! 😂

I remember as a kid playing games in the 80's and most of them were all brutally hard where as today ill play a game and most you can complete with only a rare few providing a challenge. There was nothing more frustrating then spending £25 (1980's money) on a game to find out you couldnt even get past the first level and there was little forewarning due to no internet and only limited magazine game reviews. Offenders were: Gremlins 2, Strider 2, Bart Vs The Space Mutants (That i can remember off top of head).

[@RetroOrBust]

There's also the games that when you were younger you'd be good at but suck at now. For example, I'd smash Batman the Movie on the C64 first time, every time but now I struggle getting past the carnival level! 😭 But yeah, I totally agree with Gremlins 2 & Space Mutants. Only ever seen up to level 2 on those!

@@RetroOrBust Batman on the Amiga i was terrible at, i could never get the diagonal grapple hook to work reliably so never got off that first level. I am sure with a gamepad it would be easier than a joystick .. joysticks werent designed for platform games.

[@RetroOrBust]

@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 yeah, I much prefer joypads now to joysticks. I don't know how I managed when I was younger as the first joypad I got was with my Mega Drive in 92! After that, I just used those pads on my Amiga. Much easier!

Never got along with Strider. I had Robocop 2 on the GX about a decade ago but sold it for £100 at the time Super BTTF's music is nothing short of perfect.

[@RetroOrBust]

I really need to put more time into Strider as I usually just get annoyed & switch it off after a couple of goes. We're going to Arcade Club on Sunday so if it's there, I'll give it some love, lol. £100 for Robocop?! I thought it was a £50 game at best even today! Yeah, BTTF's music is great, just wish you weren't confined to a Hover Board throughout the game!

[@SmoothEmJay]

@@RetroOrBust Yeah mate, was crazy. That and some sports game £100 each. Might have been silly to sell them in retrospect but, meh.
