Recent Game Pickups 31 - Game Trading Sites Compared

[@LGR]

That edition of Outcast is pretty freaking hard to come by, definitely the one I'm most envious of! Very cool pickups dude.

[@donellismusic]

A wild LGR appears!

[@theguyyoucantstand6222]

A cucumber.

[@rego023]

Get back to thrifting, LGR. No time for comments.

[@Barnacules]

OMG just rocking that shirt! na na na na na na na na BATKNIFE!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Barnacules Nerdgasm Thanks for the shirt! I wear it with Geek Pride

[@JakkiFN0rmus]

MJS Do you get to choose the ads? just got a full Skeletal Remains video! \m/\m/ af

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

I love those big manuals with the whole story in them. Those are the real collectables in my opinion and going to be useable 100 years from now if kept in good condition.

[@Interference22]

I flipping love Outcast! One of my absolute favourites of all time. If you can't get the boxed version to work, there's a re-release on Steam that works flawlessly. Absolutely amazing musical score, too.

[@cyde79]

Loving that beard! Also, really awesome pickups. Looking forward to the Ultima series review.

[@brennandye4475]

Very cool, man. I just discovered your channel about a month ago and I've been following closely ever since. Keep on finding gold, buddy!

[@The_RadicalOne]

Yes!!! I've been telling people about Airblade for years. It's like the hover boards from back to the future II

[@Gamesta100]

Yeah it's awesome. Still have it for my PS2 :-)

[@DanofWar101]

I heard of 99Gamers from you MJR a while ago and I've been adicted since! Added a lot of games to my collection with that website and they have a great community! Great pick up video as always and awesome Powerslave vinyl! Keep up the good work!

[@Lastseengaming]

I think its about time you make these 2 hours long and show everything, seriously would love it :)

[@lemaitrethemonk]

I dig all of your episodes. You are kind, passionate about games and knowledgeable. Keep making kick ass videos and I/we will be watching. Peace and God Bless.

[@NESRomancer]

Oh man I love that version of Hollywood Hi-Jinx. Loving the beard too!

[@djfresh826]

MetalJesus, Always Love your work on your Channel,, Very Informative. Here I thought I was the only odd one that was into the campaign mode for the Call of Duty Series, I did the same exact thing, I went into A Call of duty Frenzy and had to get all of them just to play the great campaign modes, it's amazing on the amount of work that the devs put into those games. I'm not much of a online multiplayer guy also. Keep up the great work, Please keep bringin these pick up videos.. thanks again!!

[@MrDesertdogg69]

Sweet pickups MJR.Talk about memories I remember experiencing those text adventures growing up I believe it was on the Commordore Vic-20 a game called Adventureland by Scott Adams.There was some other titles like Pirate's Cove and The Count.Also, remember playing the Infocom games like the Zork games,Hitchhiker's to the Galaxy.Witness & Leather Goddesses of Phobos.There was alot of other ones that I didn't get to play.And than later on they added graphics to the text adventures.Thanks for sharing.

[@GamerWho]

I LOVED the Nomad Soul. Any game featuring David Bowie is a must play.

[@ScottCrippen]

Always dig when you bring out the vinyl on these videos. I still need to make it over to Easy Street since they closed the Queen Anne locale.

[@7stringguitarplayer]

you look better with that goatee. nice video! first pick up video i watched from you. i thought it would be just you showing the game and moving on to the next one, but you actually talk about them unlike some people so its actually interesting.

[@Alfred6009]

Always great catching up with ya Metal Jesus! Don't forget to swing through Iowa on your tour to pick out some games from my collection! And visit the Worlds Largest Truckstop! I-80 Dude! Take Care! SEE YUH!

[@peristrojka]

No better way to start the weekend than with a new MJR video!

[@prophismusic]

Great video MJR, I really dig you mentioning Airblade. Never heard of it until now. I used to love Trick Style on the Dreamcast, It was like hoverboard/racing. . There was a hub-world zone where you could do tricks and stuff and i just stayed there. Always loved THPS (#2 Mostly) too so im gonna have to pickup Airblade.

[@ruskybigmusky3012]

Absolutely love all the Vinyl you scored! Awesome...Sweet games too!

[@MurrayNJ08]

Amazing pickups, just added some to the game room myself. Take care!

[@embracerodusk2537]

Love the videos man. That Elder Scrolls box is sweet, as well as Quake 2. Powerslave, easily my favorite Maiden album. The production on that for 1984 is insane.

[@normathome123]

Just started my game collection, I started with NES and Sega Megadrive (as it's known here in the uk). It was your videos and The Game Chasers who made me want to do it. So thanks for the inspiration and keep up the awesome videos.

[@bombaya85]

I too started bc of a friend of mine, he introduced me to these retro gamers channels, and then I was hooked. Got the Snes and the SMS to start with, came over a couple of PS1 with a ton of old faves, I`ll get the N64 as soon as I see one at a good price, and I`m already on the lookout for shelfs that`ll hold the tv/games/consoles. These guys are just a blast. Have fun collecting!

[@Hundeputzmunter]

Ian Patterson I started collecting for original xbox earlier this year, due in large part to MetalJesusRocks - went from zero to 110 games in 3 weeks :-P Just need somewhere to put em now!

[@tidus9896]

Powerslave is probably my 2nd favorite album of all time behind rust in peace. Awesome vid ;)

[@ValentinoLimon]

holy balls! that wizardry set it amazing. Great find MJR!

[@TheEasterEggHunter]

Love Point and Click Adventures, so the Longest Journey is on my hit list! Thanks Metal Jesus :)

[@JRSanchez93]

I just started getting into Call of Duty towards the end of last year. I'm really not a fan of on online multiplayer, but local multiplayer is great. I was surprised at how much detail is in Black Ops 2 and Ghosts is really great so far (I can't believe it's the black sheep of Call of Duty).I thought about buying all of the games as well but decided not to, MW3 is 5 dollars at gamestop and only reason I was going to buy it was because of the survival mode but right before I went I played the alien version on Ghosts and had a blast with it. I actually fell in love with the masks that I wound up buying one on ebay.

[@tacaskey4665]

great vid dude! nice find on the Alcatraz LP too... FYI: Yngwie Malmsteem was on the first album and left after that to do the Rising Force LP...

[@codyburtrum2604]

OUTCAST! I grew up on that game. It's been updated and re-released as Outcast: Second Contact, such a must play for anyone who loves RPGs!

[@commodoremax7995]

Great pickups. I used to play Xybots at the arcade and it had those twistable joystics for the turns and was fun to play. That was nice of him to give you a deal on the boxed PC games as well. I have Omikron on the Dreamcast and since I haven't played the PC version, I don't know if there are any major differences. When finding an item you've been looking for, the distance really sucks. I found one I've been looking for a long time for a great price of $9 but since the person selling it was in another country, the shipment was going to cost around $50. That sure was upsetting.

[@P0V3RTY09]

I used to have the first Wizardry game for the C-64 back in the day. If I remember correctly, it was a vector graphic based 3D adventure closely resembling the AD n D gameplay. My buddy and I would literally spend hours playing it and never even came close to finishing it LOL

[@rmgb-tv]

I recently got myself a silver EA Sports version of the Logitech Cordless Action Controller for the PS2, which I first learned about on this very channel. I have two of them now - awesome controllers that every PS2 fan should have.

[@giorgi3343]

great videos lately man keep up the good work

[@Peppiinait]

Man,I'd really like to see more of these games you picked up through this channel.Too bad you don't do that kinda stuff.

[@aerosmithgamer]

The CDi, while much maligned (in many cases, quite fairly) is still a lot of fun and there are definitely some great hidden gems on the system.

[@jokatech]

OMG. Memories of Ultima. I was getting into that many years ago before I drifted from PC gaming. I also remember Omnikron. So cool to see someone with that game. I had it briefly on home console for the Dreamcast I believe. Never got a chance to beat it or even get far. I had no Idea David Bowie was in it at the time.

[@JoshRioTeixeira]

Loving the goatee! You are officially more Jesus...and metal.

[@JustinCherriman]

Tetris CDi, best music and lovely animated backgrounds! Escape from CyberCity is also very good but hard. It uses scenes from Galaxy Express 999, and is also called Freedom Fighter, released originally as a rare laserdisc game.

[@manic_misfit9722]

Thanks for the alternatives to Amazon and Ebay. Definitely have to check out these two

[@SwashBuccaneer]

MetalJesusRocks AWESOME score on that Maiden album! UP THE IRONS! I so love your channel, dude. Games and METAL!

[@PapaKennMedia]

I... I need that Judas Priest vinyl. I have a great need and want for it. That thing's just GORGEOUS!

[@technoir1119]

Favorite Iron Maiden album MetalJesus? My top three: 1. Somewhere in Time 2. Seventh Son 3. Powerslave

[@MetalJesusRocks]

rb hws I'd have to go with: 1. Piece of Mind 2. Number of the Beast 3. Powerslave

[@flyingcumshot]

MetalJesusRocks For me it's: 1. Piece of Mind 2. Powerslave 3. Iron Maiden

[@aaronmorrison8050]

rb hws what about favorite songs me it would so far have to be 1.Hallowed be thy name 2.Number of the beast 3.Fear of the dark

[@technoir1119]

Aaron Morrison Too many to name honestly! But some of my favorites in no particular order: Sea of Madness Powerslave The Evil That Men Do Murders in the Rue Morgue Caught Somewhere in Tiime Stranger in a Strange Land 2 Minutes To Midnight Wasted Years I could go on and on. Love Maiden.

[@KjordsFjord]

Most of their albums are amazing, but for me these are probably my 3 favorites: 1. Powerslave 2. A Matter of Life and Death 3. Somewhere in Time

[@dfernand101]

The Lynx that takes me back, The Jaguar was meant to be the Porche of it's day but I think it was just too expensive and there weren't many games for it. Those Ultima 5 1/4 inch disks takes me back to the Dark Ages of PC computing where I came from and Commodore 64 computing also.

[@BlueOceanRoss]

that Outcast game looks sooo interesting! I never heard of it before. The graphics look really cool!!

[@QukopertTheSk8erBoi]

I remember playing Airblade on a demo disk on my ps2 back in the day, I have to go get myself a copy now.

[@beccacosmo]

The concept for Wizardry sounds awesome.

[@donellismusic]

Awesome video and great finds! And loving the Barnacules Nerdgasm shirt. BATKNIFE!

[@AstonWave007]

People like to hate on Call of Duty because it's popular. Hating on shit that's popular is the hipster thing to do now it seems.

[@iamacharliest]

Matthew Dolby Haha I agree. I think it's funny though because it's ironic to hate on the shit thats popular, when it has become popular to hate on that shit. xD

[@AstonWave007]

iamacharliest And the ironic thing is, that those people that hate on the game always wind up buying it and playing it.

[@AstonWave007]

***** Horseshit. Sledgehammer changed things up when they added the exosuits to the mix, and people STILL fucking complained. And people are complaining even now about Black Ops III and it isn't even out yet. People will hate anything that's popular.

[@BJSSJ5]

Matthew Dolby I always luv Call of Duty games cuz of there story even Ghost was ok im just not a fan of the online much more im sure most ppl could agree.

[@idkuwhat9876]

Matthew Dolby You're only a real gamer if you mention Call Of Duty all the time and how much you hate it. I agree, just stupid little people repeating what they see everyone else say.

[@bigsabsmokin]

Powerslave is my favorite Maiden album. I must have a copy of that vinyl!

[@heinrichkotula1585]

I have a question for you Jesus. Does the upscaler solve antialiasing and graphic PS2 issues occuring on LCD TV or it looks the same like when using component cable plugged directly to the TV? Is using the older CRT TV the only option to have that nice and smooth picture? Thank you :)

[@michaelwhite5641]

Very jealous of Elder Scrolls Arena! Also, thanks for reminding me of Longest Journey - I remember playing it, just couldn't recall the name, part of a series if I remember correctly

[@PSYmonSez1985]

Quake 2 is one of my favorite PC games and Quake 3: Arena is one of my favorite Dreamcast games. It has an amazing soundtrack that´s worth "damaging" your speakers with.

[@screendr4499]

Check out Chips challenge on the lynx. My dad used to let me play his lynx on long car journeys when I was a child. Very fond memory's of that and also California games :D

[@jrmann331]

I think those trading sites you mentioned are good for certain mid-level games that aren't too high in demand and have a decent supply are within reason to pickup, but games that are highly sought after are tremendously inflated as you had pointed out (Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda). Other online options like Ebay and Amazon have a larger number of buyers and sellers so I would argue for the games that more people are looking to pick up, Ebay and Amazon are much more competitive options that will more than likely drive the price down. If I listed a copy of Super Metroid on Ebay for 75-80 dollars it would never sell because other sellers are pricing and selling their copies around 40. Competition between sellers helps the consumer big time.

[@De5con]

I love going back and playing PC games that my PC, at the time, was to under-powered to play. These day's PC games are "so" forgiving to "low-spec PC's" but back in the day's you had to know your stuff...

[@polaris1966]

Great presentation! You have some spectacular stuff. :)

[@stashmerkin9576]

Bureaucracy is great! An original game written by Douglas Adams. Their adaptation of Hitchhikers Guide was top notch too!

[@spitt0110]

I admire your respect for the single player campaign for call of duty, I've only played the black ops II for wii, but I sadly only ever joked that it must be bad if folks only play the multiplayer, but considering everyone sells the previous copy to keep playing multiplayer, the prices for the previous cod game is pretty cheap and worth the few bucks for a decent FPS.

[@mediaglitch]

Man I see alot of this PC stuff out in the wild at garage sales for pennies. I wasent aware of the value. Ill have to pick this stuff up for PC collectors sense its not really my thing but they would make great gifts for people who do collect.

[@mrKozmoz]

The Wizardry games are pretty darn unforgiving, but holy hell are they fun to play. I remember when I got 8 way back when, and realized, you can roll a terrible party and not have fun, then roll a great party, and bam, fun. Same goes for Legend of Grimrock, brings back all that lovely old school pain.

[@SpartanLaser]

Nice vid! I've never really been a PC gamer due to PC gaming being expensive- but I've played a Dreamfall game for xbox. Now I know about the original

[@bulbinking]

I have a good condition copy of Phantasy Star Online I&II Plus for the gamecube with the manual intact. Which website would you suggest I sell it? I won it at auction for 75 bucks on ebay (and lucky me just 4 days later somebody won theirs for 67... But the first auction I lost and the guy shelled out like 80 bucks)

[@VGRetroQuest]

Rather than a cruddy site, you COULD use a Facebook group like the one we run. I don't want to shamelessly advertise, but I founded and run (with my team of admins) the group Retro Video Game Collectors - Buy, Sell, and Trade. I can honestly say that better deals and better people can't be found online.

[@MISHA4L]

Am I The Only One Who Thinks He Looks Better With A Beard.

[@damienwhite4712]

There's a game called Exhumed that was named PowerSlave for NA. It's a nod to that Iron Maiden album.

[@Adrian-yp7nb]

Those disks, lol, fond memories!!! Nice vid MJR!!! Cool ending, lol!!!

[@np02058]

Metal Jesus with a beard.... I knew it. You are Metal Jesus from the mirror universe. WHAT DID YOU DO TO METAL JESUS?

[@petera7745]

I think popular and rarer games are more expensive on 99 gamers because they get snatched up right away and so that only leaves the higher priced ones. Since the site is mostly for collectors I have found that rarities are very hard to find, because no one wants to sell their stuff like that

[@zombee38]

FYI Vai replaced Yngwie ....I would love that Alcatrazz LP ...great video MJR !

[@sglider]

Priest's 5 Souls songs were available in the deluxe edition of last summer's Redeemer of Souls album. Which, by the way, is a terrific album. They are still on the Souls tour, over seas at the moment. I think they are swinging back to the states for more dates this year. Saw them in October and Rob is sounding better than he has in about 10 years or more. I say catch them if you can!

[@juanf5391]

Quake II was my introduction into P.C gaming back when I was a kid in the 90s. I used to own it for the 360 as well as it came with Quake IV. Today I'm still looking to re-purchase Quake II for the 360 but can't find the disc by itself.

[@charliellorente]

Powerslave Kicks ass, I must have listened to that LP thousands of times since I was a teenager,wwoooooow, "WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER!!!!"

[@manuelcarvalho4199]

Where can i get psone clear cases . Got some old ones that need to be replaced. Do you know if yhe new cases are the same and the ones sony used if not are they out there. And lastly do you know if it effect the value of the game. Thanks have a great day

[@AtticusRh0des]

Escape from Cyber city is actually awesome, it in a way re tells the story from Galaxy express 999, and it even has Captain Harlock in it voiced by Scott McNeilson!

[@Narniak69]

If you get a CD-i, Burn Cycle is one of the very few must-have titles. It is one of the best Sci-Fi games ever made on any system.

[@thevinsalenga]

Hey you're wearing a Barnacules shirt! Nice!

[@SmolBug]

Hey metaljesus! So for the ultima pickup what was the console with those games? Thanks and keep up the good work

[@muscleToph1]

Seeing Outcast brings back great memories. gameplay looks so old haha

[@My2006Pony]

Hey Metal Jesus!! I was wondering where you shop for your vinyl records?

[@badbirdkc]

You know, facial hair usually makes most guys look older, but somehow Metal Jesus looks younger.

[@eyeofjustice1]

This "99Gamers" is something I always wished for. Just went on their website and there it says they're trying to make it available in more countries. I'm from Germany, so please let this happen - would be so great!

[@danielflorio4739]

Link between worlds is my favorite 3ds game, def pick it up.

[@kethdredd]

5 Souls are on the CD Deluxe Edition of Redeemer of Souls. The 5 souls EP are the songs that didn't make it on the LP version of Redeemer of Souls.

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

I remember Airblade! They had ads for it on gaming mags back in the early 2000s.

[@BossZnakemaster]

NinjaxShadowXx Yeah that game was allot of fun. I remember seeing that game and being such a huge fan of Back to the Future i had to get the game. Remember having allot of fun playing it, sadly i decided to sell my ps2 collection for next to nothing around 10 years ago. Still regret it. I only kept the most highly treasured ones.

[@MDiPietro16]

NinjaxShadowXx I remembered seeing it in Tips & Tricks magazine in the early 2000s and it looks awesome. But I remember being disappointed when I bought it and played it.

[@BossZnakemaster]

Its an "ok" game. Looking back now when seeing gameplay it wasn't worth full price by a longshot. I still had allot of fun with it, but in the end i got it because it because of the hoverboard and it ended up being fun for a while, but not nearly as addicting as trying to get a high score combo in Tony Hawk.

[@RaewCZ]

NinjaxShadowXx Played the demo all the time at my friends house :)

[@Maverickrolll]

Totally jealous of the Star Trek Elite Force complete in box. Great game. If you can keep your eye out MJ, Elite Forces 2 is extremely rare because it got pulled some store shelves during it's lifespan due to the publisher losing the rights to the IP. It is very hard to find in the wild, even the game in it's jewel case goes for quite a bit. You often see boxed copies of it go for $80+ easily.

[@Hijynx87]

Diggin the Barnacules shirt.

[@Call_MeJD]

I've been on *leaptrade* for the longest time. I was not aware of *99gamers*. I will definitely take a look at it. Thank you.

[@bigripper2048]

I remember playing Xybots in the arcade, i may need this now haha.

[@jay270486]

Mr Jesus, Strange question, but how hard it is (in America anyway) is it to find the Killzone HD collection on the PS3? I managed to grab myself a boxed (worn) copy of the trilogy for £20 (approx $40-45) but only ever seen it once here in the UK.

[@digitalexpressmedia]

its easy to find it here at on amazon and ebay for 10-20 bucks

[@theguyyoucantstand6222]

I'm from Switzerland and you all suck.

[@torgogorgo1888]

I wouldn't pay retail for call of duty games anymore, but I loved CoD4 and it's multiplayer and really really liked World at War. I want to grab a copy of that game again. Recently got a free collection of Ps2 games and it had the 3 call of duty's which I was quite happy about. I definitely have a soft spot for the series although I haven't bought a game beyond Black Ops.

[@SuperDargs]

Hey MetalJesus! I was just wondering how often you buy your games from local stores? I seem to find decent deals there which are much cheaper than a lot of sites on the internet...unless I am just looking in the wrong places online.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

SuperDargs I am lucky to live in the Seattle area where we have around 10 different retro video game stores... so I can find almost everything I would want locally.

[@ooPETERo]

i feel opeth's deliverance or watershed playing softly in the background would go well with this video.

[@loressi1913]

Airblade was easily one of my favourite games on the PS2!

[@tankyouverymuch1726]

Hey Metal Jesus! Please make that star trek episode some day. How awesome would it be if they remaster 25th anniversary or judgment rites? Thanks for all your time and energy over the years.

[@DonRR97]

The Longest Journey was fantastic. Bought it on steam a few months back:)

[@daneofurexistence]

Omikron! Weird game...but fun! It was also ported to the Dreamcast(which is how I played/own it since I was never a big PC guy). You can find David Bowie playing concerts in various bars and clubs in the game, and the songs are actually REALLY good. Btw...*ahem* HEAR THE RIME OF THE ANCIIIIENT MARINEEER!

[@daneofurexistence]

Jorge Alves My favorite was the "Naked Eyes" one(I have no idea what its called...) I'll have to check out that album!

[@daneofurexistence]

Jorge Alves Sweet! Now I can track it down and listen to it again! Thanks dude!

[@mvl71]

Oh man, Bureaucracy! Great game by the late Douglas Adams. Fantastic box + manual. Not jealous at all ;-)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

mvl71 I didn't realize the game was by Douglas Adams, the mastermind of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Definitely have to play the game now!

[@nephildevil]

Introducing COD in 2015 lol that's funny as if you've been living under a rock in a cave for years.

[@Lightspeedhalo]

That blooper at the end 😭

[@Connelly90]

Oh god! I forgot about Airblade! Such a great game. Many should-have-been-sleeping-for-school hours spent on that one.
