Retro Pickups July '24

[@retroimportgamer513]

Pickups videos are my favourites mate so the more the merrier for me Lovely sleeves on those hmv films and always nice to add some VHS Really envious of the Vectrex pickups, I have Vyrzon but would love all the others, in particular Vector Patrol, just skint at the moment 🤣 The overlay makes the game for me, not the same without it, I'm going to get the universal one to use with games I haven't got one for. Excellent stuff Lee👍

[@Tetlee]

@@retroimportgamer513 I love a good pickups aswell, suppose it helps of you're likeminded about the stuff that is being shown. 100% agree about the overlays, they add so much. Tbh I'd happily do without the massive boxes, just games and overlays is all I care about. Think Vector Patrol is my favourite on Vectrex so far, closely followed by Vector Pilot. They'll be worth the wait👍

[@Pjvenom1985]

Nice video and pick ups Lee, fair play.🕹🌠🎬☘️

[@Tetlee]

@@Pjvenom1985 cheers Patrick, hope you had a nice weekend my friend 👍

[@allanmailer4540]

I personally like the pick up videos so keep them coming. I've got Henhouse on the TI, my copy isn't boxed but I can live with it. I didn't get much this month, just a few Amstrad tapes and some old 1980s computer magazines. I'll make up for it next month though as I feel a hardware purchase coming on 😊

[@Tetlee]

@@allanmailer4540 cheers Allan, I really enjoy doing them so they'll always continue even if there will be less stuff coming in now. Chuffed to get Henhouse, will be a while until I play it as my TI is away for a service at the moment. I won't what hardware you're picking up there?🙂👍

[@SEGAZombie]

I Love a pick ups video Chromaniods is a great little game as is jet set steamboat Willie it’s been a good month for the speccy and homebrew games Clash of the titans is an amazing film I own it on blu ray but I think I need to get that release as I love the box art Once I get some more retro funds I must pick up some of these homebrew Vectrex games Great video as always mate

[@Tetlee]

@@SEGAZombie yep good times for Speccy homebrew mate. Can't recommend Vector Patrol and Vector Pilot highly enough, they're incredible! Clash of the Titans is a timeless classic, love all the Harryhousan films, you don't get fantasy like that any more sadly, stop motion was so cool. Cheers Scott mate👍

[@simoneaustin8101]

Love your pickups videos! Some cool overlays there. Surely you must by now have all the Godzillas!!! 😂

[@Tetlee]

@@simoneaustin8101 hehe thanks Simone, not even a fraction of all the Godzilla's over his 70+ year reign, but I do have the main ones I wanted 😁

[@jogaminggirly1086]

I enjoy all your videos. Another great one 😊

[@Tetlee]

@@jogaminggirly1086 thanks Jo, that means allot🙂

[@ArttuTheCat]

JET SET STEAMBOAT WILLIE has an pawsome 🐾 looking game tape 😺👍🕹️. And that game box of HENHOUSE brings meow the retrospective vibes of the Atari 2600 games 😹😸😺👍🕹️.

[@Tetlee]

@@ArttuTheCat yes the Henhouse box does have the look of a 2600 game. Can't wait to play it but my TI99 is away being serviced. Cheers Arttu buddy 😸👍

[@caskstrengthgamer4985]

Haven't seen clash of the titans for ages but remember loving it

[@Tetlee]

@@caskstrengthgamer4985 absolutely amazing movie, still as brilliant today. Hope you're well Billy👍

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

I love a pick up video mate, always interesting to see what other people are chasing. Nice couple of speccy homebrew games, love the micky mouse box art. I've never watched the rats, recall enjoying the book. Nice to see some vectrex homebrew, I agree the overlays are really cool. Regarding Stacking your definitely improving 😂

[@Tetlee]

@@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533 hahaha yes! I was waiting for your feedback on my stacking skills😄 I'm working in it😁 Good to see there are still people that enjoy a good pickups, suppose it helps when it's stuff you have appreciation for yourself. Steamboat Willie is really good, think Sloanysoft might do another run so if I see them on facebook I'll tag you, well worth having and a bargain price aswell. Cheers Dave buddy.

[@nerdygeezer78]

Totally agree it is a good way to chat with your subscribers. Oooo I like that neon green cassette. I have that Clash of the Titans and I agree stop motion is great and aged a lot better than early CGI. Top vid pal 👍

[@Tetlee]

@@nerdygeezer78 big time, even when CGI is done well it still doesn't hold a candle to stop motion. Cheers Lee mate, hope you're coping with the heat ok🫡

[@RetroEdUK]

Have downloaded the A La Sala album for a listen. Not one I’m familiar with. Big Blue looks fab; enjoyed your gameplay vid on it. Clash of the Titans!!! Epic viewing for sure. Have a goodun mate.

[@Tetlee]

@@RetroEdUK hey nice one Ed, hope you enjoy it. Con Todo El Mundo is my favourite album of theirs but they're all great tbh Clash of the Titans is one of the greatest fantasy movies of all time, I so miss films like that today. Cheers mate👍

[@onaretrotip]

Some top notch Vectrex games there. Kristof's games are just unreal, and I love Big Blue too. Chris (Vector Republic) is such a nice guy, not sure if you spoke to him at Revival? He developed Big Blue and Frontier (whereas he's just publishing Vyrzon).

[@Tetlee]

Completely agree Pete, Kristof's games are just stunning! Will have to go back for the Arcadians one at some point. Don't think I met Chris, not sure but of course I didn't own a Vectrex then or I would've bought them from him there and then. I have Vyrzon, another classic. Cheers for watching mate.

[@onaretrotip]

@Tetlee You showed Vyrzon in the video, I was just pointing out he didn't develop that one.

[@Tetlee]

@onaretrotip ah, haha thats my memory for you, couldn't remember if I'd shown that one, thought I might have forgot(which wouldn't be unusual). Makes sense now mate.

[@onaretrotip]

@@Tetlee 😂

[@KingMikie1]

Great pickups pal, loving the vhs👍🤘 kruanagbin are brilliant pal... get yeself a plastic case for it😉✌️zillas damn cool✌️✌️

[@Tetlee]

@@KingMikie1 cheers Mikie, yep will do that as have plenty spare around. Thanks for the comment👍

[@steve36207]

I love a pickups vid lee buddy, its great to hear what people think and what memories they have 😊 i love that godzilla cover, we watched the new Kong and godzilla film on hols and i really enjoyed it bud

[@Tetlee]

Yeah me too Steve, good to hear from you mate, back from your hols? Hope you had a fab time. Cheers buddy🙂👍

[@steve36207]

@@Tetlee yes bud, got back on Sunday, bit heavier than when I went 🤣

[@Marathon_Gaming]

Steam boat willy cassette wow that’s cool mate

[@Tetlee]

@@Marathon_Gaming big time, cracking game aswell. Great stuff all round👍

[@jogaminggirly1086]

I love clash of the titans and sinbad I have them all. Great pickups.

[@Tetlee]

@@jogaminggirly1086 thanks Jo, I have my eye on the Harryhousan boxset. I need them all back in my collection👍

[@8BitBoyUK]

Nice one mate. And I used to absolutely love clash of the titans and sinbad as well.

[@Tetlee]

@@8BitBoyUK I would think everybody loved those films, who could not? Ray Harryhousan was a legend, CGI is never a substitute for stop motion effects. Cheers Oli👍

[@colincoxhybridgamer906]

Great video buddy. Clash of the titans immense what a film. Great speccy pick ups. Love the vectrex games. I picked one up recently there great. Ohh homebrew for it could you let me have the guys e mail. Cheers Col

[@Tetlee]

Hi Colin, if you check my latest vid and pause the screen at the outro I put the details up there of the site you need to visit and his details are there. Both Vector Patrol and Vector Pilot are absolutely outstanding games, you'll love 'em. Cheers for watching.

[@DadLadsGaming]

I'm not into figures or anything but who doesn't love Godzilla👌 I've got a few decent games for my Vectrex bug no overlays unfortunately....it definitely adds to the experience 👍

[@Tetlee]

@@DadLadsGaming I'll br honest I wasn't into figures either but always fancied a Showa era Godzilla someday(ideally '74), got my grail and became a bit hooked😄 thankfully I have a space limitation to keep that in check. The overlays really do add to the experience I feel on Vextrex, Vector Patrol is my favourite overlay so far, makes the game look incredible! Oh and thanks for watching and the sub🙂👍

[@Marathon_Gaming]

I don’t think I have ever heard of that ‘rats’

[@Tetlee]

@@Marathon_Gaming hood old classic 80's horror, always loved these types of films🙂

[@Marathon_Gaming]

@@Tetlee in going to check it out mate .

[@ewstargamer]

Great pick up video mate loving the vectrex games still need to pick them up myself

[@Tetlee]

Cheers Alex mate, some incredible homebrew out there for the Vectrex that's for sure. I need to get a multicart.

[@Marathon_Gaming]

I love your Godzilla figs 🐉

[@Tetlee]

@@Marathon_Gaming cheers Scott, I love them, XPlus make some awesome stuff.

[@Alsarcade]

Hi Lee Have you ever seen son of Kong and valley of the Gwange ? You got all the best vectrex games mate, I’ll send you that multi kart this week. Nice pick up video mate

[@Tetlee]

Hey cheers Alex. Yeah these are both incredible games, Vectrex heaven. Valley of Gwange yes but don't think I've seen that since the 80's, that was the one with the cowboys wasn't it? Great unique film. Son of Kong not sure I have 🤔 Will have to look that up, thanks for the recommends 👍

[@Gold2thGaming]

Better than drinking Electric Gerfaroo,The Weee Rats 👌ain’t been around but got tagged in something and seen this vid 👊🏻 Love a pick up,some very nice Vectrex stuff there fella and big up Gerfzilla

[@Tetlee]

[@stewsretroreviews]

Nice pickups Lee, I'm not buying much atm myself, but I do love those coloured speccy tapes mind 😀 Nice one mate 👍

[@Tetlee]

@@stewsretroreviews cheers Paul, I trying to buy less, definitely slowed down and should be less each Month if things go to plan🤔😬😁 Love a nice coloured Speccy cassette buddy, the loading screen background and matching jiffy bag were excellent attention to detail😎

[@stewsretroreviews]

@@Tetlee I'm back into running as I'm doing the Amsterdam half marathon in October, so I need to buy some more trainers lol So no, to buying games for a bit, got enough to keep the channel going anyway bud. Enjoy another hot day, its cooking here up north 😎 🌞 😆

[@Tetlee]

@@stewsretroreviews fair play to you Paul, I struggle to run after my dog when he's rolling in poop leave alone a Marathon. Vest of luck with that mate👍

[@Marathon_Gaming]

Glad your still enjoying that vectrex home brew

[@Tetlee]

@@Marathon_Gaming absolutely loving it mate, si impressive😎

[@shain6946]

Those Vectrex games are great. I’ve got Vector Pilot and Vector Patrol

[@Tetlee]

@@shain6946 those are my two favourites so far, can't imagine them being knocked off the top spot.

[@retrotap]

Wait there's a RATS film? The book (assuming it's based from it) is probably the first 'scary' book I read - I remember borrowing it off my Nan. My CoTT is (region 1) DVD, maybe I need to upgrade to Blu-Ray version.

[@Tetlee]

@@retrotap haha there sure was, remember it being pretty cheesy but right up my street, loved that type of 80's horror. Clash of the Titans well worth an upgrade mate👍 Cheers Richard🙂

[@retrotap]

@@Tetlee I've just remembered I've got the C64 Rats game. Not played it yet, I think it's a text adventure.

[@Tetlee]

@@retrotap interesting, I've rarely ever played text adventures. Mountains of Ket was the one I remember playing the most.
