[@mancman-bu4kz]

Loved this vid, subbed. Going binge watch with steak and a beer when my lads asleep, makes change finding good uk channel for gaming. I got all the minis and modded them play retro Sundays with lad, I only collect og xbox, 360, ps2 ps3 (3ds and psp) new consoles all digital mostly, recently bought evercade too

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Thanks for watching, glad your enjoying and sounds like an awesome binge! Glad to be here representing U.K. gaming!

As a 51 year old video game veteran and collector i know what you mean when you say its abit over whelming at these markets.A strategy ive developed over the years is to plan ahead,write down what your after,abit like a shopping list,yes allow yourself say one random game that gives you the (WOW)effect but try and stick to a budget for what you have to spend and of course try to get the games you want at best/lowest price.Great video keep them coming.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

That’s a really good way of doing it to be honest. I love a good list also haha. The game that gave me the wow factor this time was Castlevania for the megadrive, if that had been complete I would of snapped it up!

[@Marathon_Gaming]

Really refreshing watching your video the footage is great to see as I missed so much . Nice to see you were able to take your time with each stall and not get caught up in the moment like myself

[@DanTheGamesMan]

It was so hard to take my time and take everything in as it was so very overwhelming to thank you for saying you enjoyed it and I still think I missed so many pick ups and opportunities

[@PlanetHarriers1]

Cool vid, looks like you had an awesome day. I went to the Gaming Market in Norwich a couple of years ago, it's a bit of a shame they don't seem to go there anymore. That Capcom Generations for the PS1 is fantastic value, well worth picking up. Maximum Carnage is an OK side scroller. Fortunately I picked it up a few years ago, it was still a pricey one, but not as bad as it is now. I had to get it for the red cart. 😀 Some really nice pick ups there. Pilotwings looks in awesome condition. It's one I still need myself. Doorway to Dorkness is also well worth a trip to Doncaster, an absolutely stunning game shop with incredible stock.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it! I think they did the same games market in Norwich up until a few year ago then it got cancelled and never returned which is a real shame. Next time I see it I’ll definitely grab capcom generations. I think I’m gonna try maximum carnage out on my ever drive as I’m intrigued and love a good comic book game. Very happy with my copy of Pilotwings been after a decent boxed copy for a while and glad I waited for this one. Another trip to Doncaster is for sure on the cards this year as I’ve head so much about doorway to dorkness but doing that to in the same day I feel we would of rushed it and not given it the time it deserved.

Was that Adam the game boy I have seen 😂 great Video Dan

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Haha thanks such a good day wasn’t it!

[@dannyhtheretrogamingmaster9548]

Some superb pick ups there mate, I'd love to go to Doncaster gaming market but its a wee bit too far for me. London Gaming Market is just around the corner though. I had a Lynx a few years back but it wasn't boxed and I only had Batman Returns for it. The Mario Golf game @13:28 was the Japanese N64 version btw

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Ah thanks I wasn’t sure what that game was. It’s quite a long trip but worth the time. I’m hoping to maybe make it to London gaming market also but I’ll have to see l. I have a few Lynx games but always on the look out for more and hoping to get a console this year either boxed or loose!

[@SegaSentMe1]

Great video mate. If you ever see cracked double jewel case games, just pop in a charity shop, or a market stall and buy a cheap double cd and swap the case. Just make sure you match the amount of game discs, with the amount of cd discs.. I.e.. Two games discs get a two cd set, 4 game discs, then 4 Cd case. ..otherwise you won't have anywhere to put the discs, or worse it won't close properly.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

I have done this before with PS1 games I guess I just didn’t make the connection these would be the same for mega CD games but thanks for the tip!

[@SegaSentMe1]

@@DanTheGamesMan to be honest I have never done it with mega cd games. I'm sure they are the same. No worries

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@SegaSentMe1 thanks I’ll try and find one next time I’m in a charity shop and try it out

[@8BitBoyUK]

Nice one mate looks like you had a blast

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Oh it was awesome so hard to decide what to pick up I have some regrets of what I left behind but i also got some sweet bits for the collection and it was an awesome day!

[@Gwazz123]

Lots to take in but looks amazing

[@DanTheGamesMan]

The video doesn’t do it justice is was CRAZY!

[@mark266]

Nice video, we go to Birmingham Game Market. Defo worth picking up GameBoy WWF games. I picked up King Of The Ring off my friend in about 2014 boxed complete and in great condition for £5. He didn’t care that it was a rare GB game.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

How does Birmingham game market compare? They’re both on the list as I’m aiming for the complete wrestling game back library but I think by that point I was to tired to think wether it was a good deal or not lol

[@mark266]

@@DanTheGamesMan Birmingham games market is a lot smaller, but I would recommend early bird ticket. We queued up for 30 mins to get it. It got very cramped up and hot by 12. There’s a retro shop in Digbeth that had very rare and excellent condition GB games. The last wrestling gam I purchased was 2K14. The old school games are always the best. As you’re a huge SW fan if you’re not already defo worth going to Celebration at Excel in London.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@mark266 I was very tempted by the Star Wars celebration did the tickets not already sell out? I always try and get the early bird tickets as I normally need to travel back afterwards. I think with Birmingham games market if I go I’ll travel the Saturday and stay the night and have a day hunting Saturday

[@mark266]

@@DanTheGamesMan they did release more tickets a few weeks ago for various days. In London 2016 there was so much goodness. You’d love it for videos. There’s a fair few charity shops in Brum and independent retro shops. I spotted a lot of old PC games for £1 each last time.

[@djvoo19]

Great video. I did the same with 3D hockey, almost paid for it too 😅then saw it was not pal. Gutted

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Yeah that excitement of finding a game you need then finding it’s NTSC 🤦‍♂️

[@8bitH]

I can't believe I didn't see you Dan! Anyway, may I ask.. how do you film your footage while walking around? It's good!!

[@DanTheGamesMan]

It was very busy and loads of people there, I lost the 2 people I was there with a lot lol. I actually just use my phone I like to keep things simple

[@redsky316]

Thanks dude!

[@ps2manygames]

yes i did drop like £300 that day my friend but i got all 4 hack games in one go,so it was worth it lol

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Haha we collectors do crazy things don’t we!

[@HabibHabib-vz3jg]

Is it only retro games or current gen as well at this market I’m planning on going to the one next month to find a ps2 steelbook I’ve never been to a game market before so curious to know

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@HabibHabib-vz3jg I would say its definitely more retro than modern games but there is a bit of everything. There’s a good chance you’ll find your PS2 steelbook there, which one are you looking for?

[@marklola12]

the prices were ridiculous on alot of the things at these places and the price on the consoles...cheaper on ebay

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Yes the prices can be expensive, but it’s the best place to find the rarest of games you don’t find anywhere else

[@Collect-Retro]

The trouble is bud unless you’re on football wages, then it’s very difficult to pick everything up, let me kno when the next one of these are on and where to get tickets , I’d be appreciate, all the best to ya!

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Indeed it can be a very expensive hobby! I think this company does gaming markets all around the U.K. facebook.com/ReplayEvents They’ve also announced one for Birmingham and London.

[@Ga11onator]

Oh no, I live so close and I missed it! When is the next one I wonder 🤔

[@twig-e6431]

Dude. Super smash TV on the SNES = my favorite game of all-time! I've seen Maximum Carnage on SNES loose for like $30. Crazy how a boxed version could be so much. I wonder if Dan was *OVERWHELMED* Lmao. Glad you got to see Retro Ghetto. I still need to watch his video on his experience. I'm sure he was going boxed SNES game nutz! 😉

[@DanTheGamesMan]

I think it was pretty much the most expensive game I saw all day, have you played it at all! Ok then I’ll keep an eye out for smash Tv but this time on the snes! Ah man I couldn’t say it enough, so overwhelming lol, was good to meet Retro Ghetto, sadly it was in the car park just as we arrived so we didn’t get a chance to chat much but that dudes boxed snes collection is amazing!

[@twig-e6431]

@@DanTheGamesMan Maximum Carnage? Never owned it, but I rented it, I think at Planet Video when it was around. Great beatemup. I'm sure the Genesis version of Smash TV is really good too. Never played too many Genesis/Mega Drive growing up.
