RetroBreak Game Pickups #73 - London Gaming Market Nov 2023

[@ernestjanzen6809]

Easily one of the most relaxing channels for retro content. And so well put together your videos are! You're a gem, thank you.

[@RetroBreak]

Thank you :) glad you enjoy 😊

[@RetroDodo]

Great video and thank you very much for featuring our book!

[@RetroBreak]

My pleasure! Keep making awesome stuff and I’ll be here to share it 😁

[@hyperplayrpg]

Awesome video, Nick! So good to see you again, and thanks for supporting us again now, just as you have over all these years. Hilarious vid from 2018 lol! Thanks again, man 😊

[@RetroBreak]

Great to see you again! Next time we can record a new one and you can show off your new books too 😅

[@hyperplayrpg]

@@RetroBreak Aces! Good man. Actually I've literally just emailed the organisers to book for March 2024... Hope to see you there!

Loved this video, great pick ups. I was at the gaming market as well and mostly thought it was just horrendously busy. Maybe coming back after lunch was the thing to do!

[@RetroBreak]

It was too busy. I only managed to cope by leaving for an hour and coming back later once it died down a bit. They really need to hire a bigger venue or limit the tickets!

[@erneststackhouse1133]

Painter on the GBC is on my list to find & I didn't know about Monster Rancher Explorer for the GBC that game is now on my list to find as well, so thanks for that!!! My buddy had a Panasonic 3DO & we played mostly GEX & Road Rash. So great pick ups!! I'll need to find the book: A Hand Held History! Thanks for the Retro Break!

[@stephen_ne8406]

great video! Love your channel

[@mrpscorpio]

Great video Nick 😊 It was great meeting you at the show when you were purchasing the 3DO and a few other people said hello. The 3DO is something I was looking at picking up. Street Fighter is a great title to pick up , remember playing on my mates back in the day. Keep up the great content

[@RetroBreak]

It’s always great meeting people who watch the channel! Thanks for saying hi! I’m definitely looking to get street fighter, sounds like it’s a great version

[@atomiswave1971]

Pricecharts doesn't have any pal 3do games on there except the ones I added myself. Lemmings is decent and return fire is good. Bust a move, street fighter 2 if you have special 6 button controller. Samurai showdown, starblade. Nothing 3do exclusive is great. Starblade might be best version but tekken 5 ps2 has it hidden in there somewhere.

[@drewdaniels4138]

Excited for the 3DO follow up vid! I think it's such a cool concept even it never took off

[@RetroBreak]

It was definitely a nice idea to have a standardised console hardware, but I think technology was moving too fast back then for anything like that to work… it’s quite surprising no one has tried again. I can imagine a console with a standard spec working much better today

[@atomiswave1971]

The only games I boot up on 3DO are Road Rash and Return Fire these days. Return fire is a capture the flag type game where you have a map/terrain you kill all the enemies with 3 types of military equipment (Tank, helicopter, Armoured support vehicle). Once you cleared the area and acknowlege the flags position you take the jeep to collect it and bring it back base. I saw a Panasonic dealership playing it back in the day and they seemed to have a blast with it, so I bought it. Its good fun.

[@RetroBreak]

That sounds really cool! I’ll try and track it down :D

[@NCS07]

Mario rpg remake is really good, sure you’ll enjoy it once you can play it

[@piciufa]

I really love your channel! it's relaxing, informative and full of passion, it's my favorite retro channel! if I can make a small request... sometimes the background music is a little too loud and it is difficult to fully understand your words for non-native English speakers ☺

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks I’m glad you enjoy my videos :) I’ll make sure it’s quieter in the future, I rushed editing this one as I only had one evening to make it and without my headphones so it’s probably worse than usual 😅

[@piciufa]

@@RetroBreak 😆 can't wait for your next video!

[@DavidRobinson1978]

Missed the show as I was ill with an infection but hopefully going to the March one.

[@Shimmyhill]

Return fire and an extra pad and you have one of the best 2 player games ever!

[@WarioSaysSo]

1:18 - How many here did not know that console was a 3DO? Not judging BTW, just curious how many did not know prior to this video (?) Its reasy for an old timer who have been in the game (bad pun) for some decades.

[@RetroBreak]

I’d be curious too.. I was surprised a lot of people at the market didn’t know what it was!

[@WarioSaysSo]

@@RetroBreak Amen !!!! Good content my good sir.

[@bjornh1527]

3DO was probably the most successful of the "failed" 32-bit systems. Road Rash is supposed to be the definitive console version, so you´ve got a good start there. I remember a game called "Return Fire" getting good reviews back in the day. The port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo is good from what I´ve heard and features it´s own updated music. Lots of PC games were ported like Alone in the Dark, Mansion of Hidden Souls and the like if you enjoy the style of exploration adventures. Also the space strategy game Star Control 2.

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks for the recommendations! It definitely seems like the “best of the worst” from what I’ve seen so far! 😅

[@bjornh1527]

Still, it has a share of weird and excentric games not available on the more popular consoles! I think it can be a fun machine to explore if you have an open mind about it :D

[@BillB808]

Try out 'babel no tou' which I think on NES switch online they renamed 'mystery tower'. If you like Solomon then it's not the same, but will probably click for you.

[@allenantonio4389]

Oh Hell yeah!!

[@andipajeroking]

How can we find out when it's the next one?

[@RetroBreak]

It’s on 3 times a year in March, July and November :) I’ve started making a page on my website to show when everything is on - retrobreak.co.uk/gaming-markets/

[@jimijames6449]

It was very busy this time! Can’t believe i didn’t see you.

[@RetroBreak]

It was insanely busy this time… I was planning to do a tour video but it was impossible

[@shigshug8581]

Air Twister is like Space Harrier on steroids...

[@toodlebug500]

I recommend Captain Quazar for 3DO

[@RetroBreak]

What kind of game is it?

[@toodlebug500]

@@RetroBreak It's a humourous arcade style isometric shooting game. It was my favourite 3DO game as a kid.

[@EllieDe]

Great video! What do you think about Pokemon Demakes like SW&SH? Keep us the good work

[@RetroBreak]

I didn’t know they had demakes?

[@chuckd.68]

Definitely into cringy 90’s 3D gaming!!! I’m here for it!

[@BRAVOROBINSON]

The original need for speed for the 3do is very good.

[@RetroBreak]

That’s on my list :D

[@ArcadeCabNBud]

Being a father is much more fulfilling

[@RetroBreak]

Why would you write this?

[@YouTube-Grifter]

I agree... But so random!! 🤣

[@andipajeroking]

You ve bought a 3do, my god. It s so bad it s becoming good? 😂

[@RetroBreak]

More like I already own every good console so I just take what I can get at this point!
