Pat the NES Punk great interview pat. Really enjoyed hearing you guys talk about old PC stuff.

[@jeff97ish]

Pat: Get a HAIRCUT!!! jk rock on bro!

[@glenmarr6353]

Pat the NES Punk momI'm Mm

[@mikeprice2556]

pat/ thank you for the podcast's I have a quick question about the guidebooks. Will there be a option too buy both books in a pack when the SNES guidebook is released? I unfort. missed the boat on the first one.Hopefully you will consider this as an option , for your new channel subs/ or for people who have just recently become fans in 2019. Thanks for all you do!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks so much for having me on your podcast, Pat!! I had a great time talking old MS-DOS games :)

[@shaker9356]

I watch both your channels and the two of you have a really great rapport together. Also as far as CD-Keys for old big box games all the blizzard titles I've found in the wild have had valid keys.

[@zcxvasdfqwer1234]

You are a legend! Nice work always!

[@hethdavid]

I remember outpost, one of the first games I purchased with my own money as a child. I tried so hard to get that game to work correctly on my 486 DX2 computer >_< , never could get past a few turns before it crashes. I've kept most of the games I've bought through the years but that is one I don't have the box or discs for, I gave it away to a friend with a better computer but he couldn't get it to run either :)

[@TheShaund]

Really enjoyed this!

[@Lordlt82]

omg ms-dos lol dem were the days entering a command to play a game.

[@Leonsunshine]

HEY PAT! METAL JESUS! Good to see you guys!! Metal Jesus Always answer my messages and even listen to some of my recomendations, SUCH a cool dude!

[@MatthewMcGravey]

MJ was so chill during the whole interview........seems like the most "hangoutable" YT gamer for sure. Billy and Jay! Billy and Jay! next!!!!

[@JohnRiggs]

I love both these dudes.

[@odaddy47]

John Riggs: RIGG'd Games you too John

[@MetalJesusRocks]

RIGGS!!!!

[@shawnkintz9813]

John Riggs: RIGG'd Games Love me some John Riggs

[@davidw.798]

I love you, Riggs. 😘 Yer butt is sexy

[@Jliving8008]

This was an awesome POD cast. So much to think about. This was truly educational. Nice work you two.

[@mtfan]

Awesome podcast - love hearing the great stories from behind the scenes of so many people that I watch on a regular basis.

[@j_c_93]

this is the best one yet. metaljesus is incredibly well spoken, easygoing and has so much to say. thank you!

[@MVLGAMING]

What an awesome guest. Can't wait to see these forces collide. Should have Pat on a Metal Jesus NES guide video.

[@ptowndc]

one of your best interviews so far, looking forward to more. I listen all the tine on podbean while at work. keep up the great content and come back out to the east coast for a convention some time!

[@RezaREX]

Thanks for spending so much time on Sierra/PC...As a 32 year old with a PC since 5, this is right in my wheelhouse.

[@JordanVickers21]

So glad you brought Metal Jesus to the not so common podcast. He does one of the best video game channels on youtube. Very professional work.

[@MrJvog]

I did not think I would listen through the entire episode but this was a very interesting and great episode. It's nice seeing these two gents doing content together.

[@retrobsolete7491]

What a great podcast! Thanks for uploading the whole thing here Pat! I'm a PC game and hardware collector (and consoles too) and love hearing you and Jason talk about it.

[@gamingrelated5233]

I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Jason always comes across as this genuinely nice guy. He definitely was an inspiration for me to start a channel myself.

[@nescommando]

Großartiger Talk, hat Spaß gemacht zuzuhören. Thx guys, awesome talk! I've had a great time listening. Greetings from Germany!!!

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

I really like Jason as a person, he seems super genuine and has always been very nice when I've met him at expos. Also you were beyond nice when I met you at the Portland expo Pat. I like that you stick to your guns and don't shy away from telling the truth and sticking up for those who deserve it.

[@jamesgillre]

Love Metal jesus, such a calm friendly guy and great listener!

[@rexapis2125]

Nintenjam He has a great cat called Bagheera too..

[@MZRFaith]

@@rexapis2125 not anymore

[@arrya5372]

Pat, podcasting is DEFINITELY a great addition to your channel. Podcasting fits like a glove. You're a natural.

[@sean91499]

Duuude you guys should do more collab videos

[@MikeSandersonVideos]

Yeah I'm shocked Pat hasn't been in any MJR videos...

[@TheRealist871]

Pat's in SD and MJ is in...Washington? I believe.

[@supergeoff]

yes they should

[@kristina80ification]

As they talked about in the video, he and pat don't live close to each other, it would be hard for them to do videos together for that reason Doing an interview like this is much easier, because, despite what some of you might think, they were most likely not in the same room, they were probably talking to each other over skype or something similar.

[@supergeoff]

That wouldn't be a bad Idea ,I met Pat at SGC back in 2014 ,he seems pretty good to work with ,I can see Metal Jesus and Pat, Skype ,very similar how Pat contact Mike from Cinemassacre

[@SoftwareAgentsTV]

This guy is great. He has the best attitude and loves what he does.

[@nologinplease]

Enjoying these way more than I thought I would, good job Pat!

[@thebrammerhammer23]

I highly enjoyed this video. Love MJR so much. I've been with him since 85.000 subs. He introduced me to the Game Chasers. I had no problem sitting down for 2 hours listening to this podcast. I wonder which people he doesn't have on his channel anymore that he mentioned. The Big JB is the first one that comes to my mind. He was on the channel a lot for a few months but hasn't been back on for probably 2 years now. It makes me wonder.

[@JasonVectrex_187]

I like both of you guys, I'm glad to see a long podcast that's not chopped up and on patreon only :)

[@garrettmetalman5008]

Great podcast! I really enjoyed it. Reminds me of when I talk to some of my friends about games and how things used to be. I really felt present in your discussion because I've *been* to the places and situations you guys talked about. Thanks again!

[@TravisWebb]

Man listening to MJR talk about the 90's early 2000's tech in the Puget Sound always makes me happy. It was the best time.

[@joshuanorris5860]

This is one of the best episodes. (Upon watching it again) Get metal jesus on again! I want to keep in touch with these people through your podcast. Dont be afraid of having the same person back again, i think thats the best part. To get an update and see how they are doing. And also most of the small talk/introduction gets out of the way on the first episode :)

[@Jayce_Alexander]

Metal Jesus is one of the nicest guys on KZbin. Loved this podcast, Pat!

[@controlpadblues]

This is so insanely weird to hear Jason talk about NASCAR Racing (the first one)... I played it on a Compaq Presario - the game damn near changed my life as it got me into sim racing - and didn't have the issues he's referring to, but yeah, to hear Jason talk about it after I've watched his channel for a few years now is kinda crazy.

[@popfuntoplay]

I am loving these podcasts with other game tubers. I love it.

[@Davidmoire96]

Pat , you make great podcasts man, please keep doing them.

[@BADC0FFEE]

this was really interesting, hands down the best episode of the NSC Podcast so far.

[@BlutoNeee]

two game reviewers i been watching for many moons together very rad

[@itchyisvegeta]

Best thing to come out of DC Rebirth.... oh wait, wrong channel. Two of my favorite gaming youtube channels into one podcast. Very informative for someone who is about to try doing youtube gaming videos.

[@kerorogunsou78]

Two of my favorite youtubers talking for 2 hours? Heaven! Also, now I feel really bad about throwing away so many of my old PC games with boxes last year....

[@shaggy92279]

This is a great episode Pat! Probably because you two seem to have a good chemistry!

[@RetroGamingMuseum]

wow, this will be bookmarked for a late night listening tonight :)

[@brandons7634]

My favorite guest podcast... more please

[@Eazy_Bruh]

Dude this is awesome.....I can't believe MJR is on with the almighty Pat oh man this is gonna be a good one

[@ShaunRF]

Trying to think of who used to appear as a guest on MJR's channel who doesn't anymore. Will have to go back to some old videos the jog my memory.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Very interesting interview. You guys talk about the golden age of gaming for me. I would play Doom,Doom II, and Final Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake and Quake II on my dads 386 or other type of PC in the 90's. I'll be listening to more of these.

[@rbtrbj]

Pat, you've had some great guests recently like Gaming Historian, Mark from CGR, and now MJR. Great stuff!

[@JustinWright26]

Currently listening to a backlog of Not so common podcast while I work. Listening to this one was fun for while I was writing code for an iOS app, Pat talks about memory leaks and Samsung. Had to laugh for I experienced that issue in a past life as an Android developer. iOS IMHO is really not much better anymore. Anyways, very fun to hear a shout out for devs :)

[@powerfrenzy]

I would absolutely buy a PC Big Box book if Metal Jesus Rocks was involved. The old PC game boxes are what got me into gaming, and I know Metal Jesus has *quite* the collection..

[@D33GS]

Limited Run tried pre-orders for Skullgirls and they apparently got burned pretty badly on it if their twitter account is to be believed. They've been pretty talkative about their business model on twitter lately as well. They set a print amount with the publisher and the release agreement ends as soon as the agreed print amount is made. The rights to print more copies revert to the publisher after the run and they are allowed to print more later. If the publisher looks at the LRG release and sees the demand to print more that are within their rights to do so. It actually has happened at least once already with Soldner X2 on the Vita in which Play-Asia printed an additional 3,000 copies. While the Limited Run release of 3,800 (?) sold out in a weekend the Play-Asia release is still available months later despite being even more limited.

[@irondom]

Great show. You need to do this as often as possible.

[@RetailArchaeology]

I used to by tons of old PC games at KB toy store in the mall when I was a kid 😀

[@torloni13]

Hey, Pat!! Greetings from Brazil... you gotta do the podcast with Clint a.k.a Lazy Game Reviews!!

[@owenrock69]

Hell yeah I would love that...he is one of my favorites...also he isnt as well known but still an interesting guy is Ben from the Oddity Archive

[@djrun4kover]

lgr would be amazing

[@HeiligerGrimmnir]

Absolutely. That would be a great episode.

[@RahmatHidayat_]

And gaming historian too.

[@HeirloomMTGO]

man, now i remember doing those bootdisks for bad games to make them run, thanks

[@pizzamon795]

wow, just finished the whole thing, loved it, scrolled through the comments, MJR has left his mark all over in the replies. He's good about that. I asked him 1 question 1 time and he answered me, I was thrilled.

[@steamedauroraborealis8208]

I really enjoy these videos. One thing I would suggest, is if these are done over Skype, for instance, to include the Skype video along with the audio. Your channel of course, run it however you see fit, but I think a lot of people would enjoy that.

[@ash44433]

Damn! What a great podcast listen! Love both these guys!

[@expensivecardboard]

6 more years until metal Jesus rocks opens up his big box museum.

[@jimobrien84]

Great episode. I love both of your content

[@kckaine9570]

Pat I have no idea why you aren't more popular and somehow universally hated. Maybe it's because I don't have to get up every few minutes and adjust my volume because you're randomly screaming into the camera. Maybe it's because you are one of the most intelligent and thoughtful commentators I've heard of on youtube. Just keep doing what you do and don't let them change you, pat! I know you wont!

[@rexapis2125]

KC Kaine Pat is better without Ian..

[@emac8381]

A C64 video MJR, my ears pricked up then. Looking forward to that video. My first gaming system, must have Last Ninja 1 to 3, Bruce Lee, Wizball, Katakis, IK+ and Buggy boy...well at least one of them. Great memories.

[@emac8381]

I had the C64 cassette version can you talk about the loading music. The Ocean/Imagine loaders music were epic and deserve a little mention. The C64 music/sound in general needs a mention, it was superb.

[@parkerswaxmuseum3746]

I love the Not so Common interviews Pat! Its great to see these KZbin personalities in a different light. Also, it would be great to listen to an episode featuring Melvor, or Jordan from the Game Chaser's, over Billy or stupid Jay. :)

[@Ferntendo]

Metal jesus Is a cool dude. great video.

[@AlphaOmegaZen]

Great show guys! Give us some more!

[@大魔王クッパレトロゲーマー]

Woo! Two of my favorite KZbinrs!!!!

[@redroversk]

Oh boy, extremely rare games and extremely hidden gems!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

....in my pants ;)

[@MediocreTCG]

yessssssss! my 2 favorite people

[@Eazy_Bruh]

Benjamin Franklin same

[@jamiegwhite30]

Benjamin Franklin true that

[@rj5485]

You two are great! Great job guys!!!

[@mattcrowing]

Pat, do you remember Ollie's Bargain Outlets? That is where I picked up a copy of Space Quest IV and Revenge of the Arcade. Weird to think that in the early 2000's they couldn't give these older games away, huh?

[@ganiman]

OMG he said "The Incredible Machine" - played that a lot, what a fun game.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

One of many great Dynamix games we shipped. Loved that series!

[@elguero117]

ive been a sub of pat since 2007 and a sub of metal jesus rocks since 2013

[@jmlivez1664]

Laserdiscs are my favorite retro media of all time. So big and shiny. I enjoy collecting video games too.

[@wayneyg30]

Top guys, true ambassadors for the gaming community.

[@chilesuicmez]

og for sure, but for this date, retro gaming community, too broken too merge, hope that changes.

[@linkmaster6486]

wayneyg30 - I can consider Metal Jesus Rocks an ambassador to the gaming community but I dunno about pat though. Maybe if he cut down on the click bait titles I'll change my opinion about him but I know is he has respect for his fans unlike a couple of other channels out there that will insult you for the slightest thing in the comments section.

[@FatalPhenom]

Sebastian why do you say that?

[@joeyvlo]

This is a fantastic series!

[@dimihamuzu]

this podcast is nerdier than trekies having conversation in Klingon

[@grizzlywhisker]

yeah but that's what makes it good. :P

[@Joshnguy]

Awesome, one of your best yet love this in depth conversation. Need a Big Box PC video game tour video! just saying!

[@AvasLittleLife]

Really enjoyed this :)

[@kenball1980]

great interview. had to turn tv off and just run audio or risk burning your face into my plasma permanently. haha

[@CogSpartan]

i liked this entry, i like your youtube posted podcasts.

[@JacobLechnerCommTech]

Awesome interview, I collect big box pc games, only what I remember playing when I was young and series that I love today. Probably the best stuff in my game collection are the Big Box pc games. I pretty much have everything I want, the ones I'm missing and will still check online for are more rare and in demand games like Wolfenstein 3D and Battlespire.

[@DeckyStrikesBack]

Two of the best right here.

[@creativecatproductions]

Man, this was fascinating

[@jasong9492]

Just want to comment that I would LOVE to have a PC Big Box guide book. I'm so jealous of Jason for having worked at Sierra in the era of King's Quest games. I'd love to find at least BOXES for KQ 1 and KQ 2.

[@RagingDrew]

Dynamix were da bomb. So many great titles bought up here from Incredible Machine to Starsiege/Starsiege: Tribes.

[@tristanjohns5288]

Thanks again for an excellent interview/podcast. To the point of the pricing on the book and app; the pricing is fine I believe but I'm unfortunately not in the market for the app specifically and I would be happy to pick up the book (maybe even a signed version) once certain life obligations are met.

[@discoron77]

I remember trying to play Madden 97, which required Dos to work, and would shut down Windows. However, it would then not find a mouse driver, which was needed to play. I never did get it to work... but NHL 97 worked just fine!

[@mischkin3588]

this is a seriously good podcast

[@tahustvedt]

I finished Space Quest today. Turns out I'm much better at those games now at 42 than I was at 10. :P I learned english playing Police Quest as a kid.

[@grizzlywhisker]

i bought king's quest 7 right when it came out and i remember spending the whole day trying to get it to run on my windows 3.1 PC with tabworks... if you even remember tabworks... i was so baffled by the inclusion of both CD-ROM and 3.5 floppy required to install. i remember getting the game to work and it just crashing over and over. it was an interesting time for gaming, and man was i a wiz with DOS back then. if you were a kid who wanted to play computer games back then, you bet your ass you were gonna learn all those commands to load up your dad's copy of leisure suit larry! lol.

[@xmodsgaming]

Love the pod cast Pat.

[@Kage5868]

nice to listen to you guys

[@decadentia84]

Metal Jesus is the Man. You should try and get him again. He's great to listen to!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks so much!

[@decadentia84]

You practically have a voice for radio, honestly. I honestly am surprised I listened to all of it, normally my attention span to youtube videos is much shorter. ;) Good distraction from coding at work...and I'm literally coding Android as we speak. :P

[@beezle1976]

In regards to Great Giana Sisters, that one is particularly tricky because it was only on sale a very brief time. Nintendo had it removed from the stores due to it's similarity to SMB (which was a cash cow). Perhaps ironically decades later a sequel was made that was exclusive to the Nintendo DS (with further, multi platform sequels since).

[@gamewizardks]

Jason works hard and tries to give other KZbinrs a chance. He's doing it the right way.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks so much for saying so! :)

[@Slayer78]

The hate is strong in this one...

[@Slayer78]

You act as if Jason ran a scheme when in fact he was open about what he intended to use the money on. The pitch was shitty and came across bad, but it's not like he feigned cancer and asked people to pay for his chemo-therapy. Calm down, your heart will thank you later. ;)

[@gamewizardks]

@@Slayer78 - LOL Wut.

[@ItsaDogandGame]

I like you, Pat! If I was in your neck of the woods, I would have a beer with you

[@kingkold]

Metal Jesus power flows through this podcast.

[@MotoMechzorz]

yessss a Shivers reference! I love those games!

[@tdubs21]

This was a great podcast mjr and pat!

[@frod79]

and here I am just waiting for the Ian/DMP holiday special podcast crossover event

[@jasong9492]

I literally JUST picked up a copy of Shivers 2 from Savers a couple weeks ago! How cool!

[@pbailed8007]

I’m going to check your book out, you guys rock!! I think last semester I spent $380 on one textbook for school so 60 bucks seems like a deal to me

[@burningg06]

great podcast. more not so common podcast! make more!

[@franklinnash]

Great podcast dudes!

[@jakeborunda8125]

Great channel! very entertaining! I was wondering if you have ever considered doing an episode on NEO GEO ports and all of the various iterations on all of the different consoles, as well as comparing and contrasting them against one another?

[@sandplasma]

I played Shivers and Lighthouse but never knew they made Shivers 2!
