The Game Chasers Ep 54 - Redneck Restoration

[@RobbieWebster]

Probably my 3rd or 4th time watching through the series. This episode is great. I love the emotional attachment and nostalgia. I think a lot of us can identify with that. To be honest, I don’t really play games or collect them anymore (I’m into movies & comics), but I still love seeing this stuff. Reminds me of the good old days.

[@TheGameChasers]

KZbin is being crap today. Took forever to upload this and process it, and it STILL isn't in HD yet. It would help us out a lot if you shared this episode out in social media because I know people will be missing it in their sub box. Thank you for your awesome support!! Also follow us on Twitter to stay up to date on our release schedule.

Fuck a apartment you need a house lol with all that cool games

2022 Annual "Rewatch every video" from The Game Chasers from the start of the channel to now. Thank you reliving an amazing past.

[@SpaceHamsterGames]

Those cabinets are looking dope!

[@w1ntermode]

Woah, Jeff you're here?

[@xylofiso5915]

+SpaceHamster That they are, happy to see some of the other colors remained after the paint remover was applied.

[@TheGameChasers]

+SpaceHamster Thanks dude! I'm very happy how they turned out.

[@williamburgoon1834]

+SpaceHamster wow crazy how good the paint came off and they got lucky they saw the logo

[@Lotus-Son]

To be honest the "power of suggestion" trick was a golden piece of advice most of us overlooked. It took billy 50 episodes to be comfortable to share something subtle but infinitely helpful to collectors. That's stuff most negotiators never like to share about their dealings, beyond just swap meets.

[@Night-Jester]

Most cerebral assassins do not share their secrets. Luckily Billy was caught slipping and now we all know. Well 8 years ago that is.

[@foxhound34]

Billy's transformation into Terl from Battlefield Earth is nearly complete

[@Hijynx87]

+Derek Bamford lmao!

[@zombiejlt1]

Still LOLing to this day...

[@Untouchaable]

13:46 haha. Very fun episode. Those KB Toys cabinets brought back some good memories. Game manuals build up my anticipation on the trip back home, I also brought them to school.

[@zachbrierley776]

It still baffles me that you guys don't have more subscribers! You can't get much better quality content than this.

[@Irraptured]

2 years later from your comment and this is STILL the case! They should have at least 1 mil. I've been watching this show for the first time starting 2 weeks ago and I'm addicted. The fact that they are only at 120k subs while other people go viral from stupid crap is just not cool.

[@Irraptured]

I'm back a little over a year later on my second rewatch of the series (this makes 3 now) and they STILL deserve way more subscribers. 132k at the time of this comment. They need at least a mil for all the effort and great vids they've put out.

[@ShinobiToyz]

@@Irraptured even Wood got to 1M... I don't see no reason why this shouldn't

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Man I woulda bought that knockoff all in one system you fuckers passed on at 9:22 those things are amusing as hell

[@MoejiiOsmanTV]

dood plz tell me ur going to be at too many games - ide like to get my NES signed by you

[@NintendoHodge]

Those cabinets look amazing. Glad you were able to clean them off without too much damage to them underneath. Cannot wait to see the finished product all setup in all of your game rooms.

[@TNVGAMING]

Even though the N64 logo got messed up, fortunately the logo is simple enough that you should be able to repaint it with some painter's tape and spray paint, or a sticker. =D Glad everything worked out for you guys!

[@JB-tl7lk]

I don't know why I got so excited when that black paint started coming off..

[@8-BitEric]

[@PeteSkerritt]

I totally get where Chris is coming from. Collecting games for me has been as much about reconnecting with my past as it has been about having a library of games to play. There is something to be said for the feelings and memories that come rushing back when you find a game that you haven't played in years. It's pretty impactful.

[@TheClassicWorld]

I think you will find like 80% of hardcore retro gamers/collectors agree with you. It's typically considered a given or 'pro tip' to collect what you know/remember. I 100% agree with you, and Chris is doing the right thing, there. Need to buy what you remember/want to play. Don't just buy 500 games for no reason. Going into 2019 I have so many ideas and so many things to get back into it, and, of course, a long list of video games I really need to get back!

[@eriknystroem]

This is probably my favourite episode of The Game Chasers. I keep coming back to it now and then. I hope Chris will be in more episodes in the future.

[@retrogamelord3763]

Never in my life have I seen that many games at a thrift store... Wait... Never in my life have I seen anything but ps2 sports titles at a thrift store!

[@rolltideroll8458]

My local thrift store doesn't have any video games lmao

[@thatvideogamesshow]

That PlayStation stand... Such a find man!

[@Viper0hr]

That's awesome. They honestly came out way better than I would have expected looking at them front the start. Congratulations.

[@frelisseK]

I hope chris gets one of these cabs, for a good price. He helped alot and he clearly looks like he has an emotional attachment

[@namephanan]

i love going back and watching these older videos. great PSA on history lol

[@RGT85]

Haha love the cliffhanger ending! Those cabinets are amazing finds.

[@ninjasec]

oh hey its RGT85

[@thecursedgamer476]

I love when someone finds a part of what they remember having good times playing. I am finding games here that make me so glad to get to enjoy them again. Great show and those display cases are Sweet!

[@TheGameBench]

I loved reading the game manuals as a kid too. Except I didn't take them to school, I took them to church. And the cabinets turned out awesome!

[@RetroPowerUp]

So happy to see that the black paint came off rather well! I'm sure you'll be able to touch them up just fine!

Good work cleaning up those cabinets and scoring some nice games guys. As always a fun and entertaining video. Thanks for sharing!

[@omegamay9771]

nice job all of you guys and everyone else behind the scenes. the UK thanks you. Ive sadly been unemployed for 8 months and thanks to you guys you have uplifted me and gave me so much joy from watching all your videos in my sad time. thanks so much

[@richardfigueroa4775]

so glad they're making episodes again my favorite KZbin show

[@Zentinalphayze]

6:33 Oil up and Play Lost Levels with me.

[@donny4182]

All things considered those display turned out amazing!!!

[@michaelgeorgiou4730]

Yes finally, hello from Cyprus. Can't wait to see an update room/collection tour from both of you guys.

[@TheGameChasers]

+Michael Georgiou Hello, Michael from Cyprus

[@mtshark7]

Awesome episode guys! That's cool you were able to refurbish those two K.B. Toys cabinets.

[@thebrammerhammer23]

Who knew watching people remove paint could be so much fun!

[@666stevedave]

Another great episode. Chris was awesome in this one.

[@TheGameChasers]

+Steve Dave F chris

[@mediaglitch]

Great editing guys as always. Thanks for putting in all the work for us.

[@thacase]

Watching on the morning of my wedding . Thanks for posting .... Calming the nerves . Keep Up the great work

[@sprung5062]

this is opne of my fav episodes from yall watched it tons of times

[@JohnCaseyWhite]

Good episode. Probably the most likeable that Chris has been in this series yet. Of course the HD version finally showed up after I finished watching it in 360p. Guess I'll just have to watch it again tomorrow! Thanks Billy and Jay for the great show.

[@interghost]

Another good episode guys thanks. Shame the blue paint started to peal off, but you did a good job in the end there. Cool stuff ;)

[@MrBonesHPS]

those shelfs are bad ass, chris did good at helping u guys clean them off,, great ep!

[@GloKat]

It's hella rad to see Chris make out like that. Dude is underrated as heck.

[@Dongled]

I literally LOLed when Jay said "you want to go tomorrow?!" Totally stealing the head nod tactic when I go to cons and haggle, thank you, Billy! I was all smiles watching as the paint came off after you guys tried that instant remover. Great stuff. It doesn't have to always be about finding super rare games. Sometimes it's cool to just see you guys go out and strike commons. That's the way game chasing go.

[@talleyrandxlll7037]

This cabinet cleaning was a montage straight from Samurai Cop. Looks effing amazing.

[@TheGamingShelf]

I was having a really bad morning and was in a terrible mood. Then I saw this in my sub feed and laughed like crazy. Thanks for making my day better, fellas :)

[@PeterHope2]

Aww man that history lesson part had me crying aha 👍🏻 I do love. Good ramble 😆

[@Wingspan_5]

Those cabinets look amazing!

[@BossZnakemaster]

Great episode. Finding games that you had when you were young is extra special. Started collecting my favorites ( which i had sold over the years ) much due to inspiration from your show. I agree with Jay about Mission Impossible. I have it for PS1 and ive enjoyed it very much.

[@mosenpai8216]

Great show and a great series. Started watching from episode 1 this past Wednesday, got hooked and watched the rest of the series including the minichode episodes, finished up watching the latest episode on Sunday. Now what the hell am I supposed to do for the rest of the day! Can't wait for the next episode, getting some serious withdrawal symptoms! Keep up the great work guys!

[@ArcadeChan]

Man, KB Toys...I remember those time in the mall. Very good memories. 😊👍

[@jerps93]

those KB toys cabinets are sick. I would love something like that in my gameroom. Great episode guys.

[@Dylan-en2fd]

I'm so glad those cabinets came out soo good even though there some bits missing still there gona look just amazing in your game rooms

[@ThePewLife]

Im glad Chris is getting some more games finally. One episode should be collection videos

[@icemanluke]

If that's from the old run down mall in Grand Prairie then I also bought tons of games out of those cabinets!! Pretty cool stuff and I love all things the Game Chasers!!

[@anthonybessel1086]

Those KB Toys cases are awesome. I was a little skeptical once the pressure washer came out but honestly they turned out great. A very cool piece of history. Congrats on the find.

[@shellymiller1370]

oh wow that was so cool! Those cabinets are awesome! Way to go guys!

[@Sauciflash]

I'm beginning to enjoy the random surprise of finding your new uploads on my feed.

[@thebosshow]

the goo gone never stood a chance . now that's a piece of history to collect . those cabinets look GREAT

[@DRNicholasJones]

Great episode guys as usual, These cabinets are awesome and its great you could save them from possible being thrown away or lost forever. and I agree collecting these games is about reconnecting with your past and reliving those memories. keep making videos ive loved the show from day one. thank you billy and jay and everyone involved with show.

[@resdog01]

You guys have really been killing it with these last two episodes. Love it. Keep up the awesome work!

[@LiverpoolRetroGamer]

Haven't seen an episode in about a year and I check in to see Billy rocking the Battlefield Earth look so hard

[@arcaderkid8449]

Dude, that "Burst Man Theme" is definitely worth listening to. Especially for the occasion of picking up a book store shelve. Definitely worth it.

[@joker7739]

Thank god you guys finally put up a new episode. I've watched and re-watched everything on your you tube channel and final bosses site. Good shit fellas, can't wait for more to come.

[@solidjunkernaut7567]

Billy is so greasy. Just seeing him makes me need a shower.

[@cutnrun22]

Billy's like the viking of game chasing 😀 great episode guys. For me, its one, if not the best show on youtube. Always look forward to it, thankyou!! 👍

[@ryanamberger]

Hoping to see Chris get the extra N64 cabinet at a decent price. Seemed like he really helped and gets some good vibes from them.

[@SeGa32xXx1]

I get what you mean, it's like doing this stuff snapped him out of his permanent drunken haze for a moment and reminded him that life CAN be fun again.

[@Dange19]

Another fantastic episode lads... Well done and those cabinets look sick!!!!

[@hiphopdmt2167]

Billy wearing that OG season 1 jacket. Billy you're a Legend.

[@DubiousGamingOnline]

Those display cases are looking pretty nice after that power wash. Such a cool find.

[@HeathenDeluxe]

Billy with the Paul Wall goatee hair dye!

[@Petitephysiquebarre]

great restoration job boys! nothing ventured nothing gained they cleaned up great.

[@ryang239]

Man I'm such a big fan thanks for your guys hard work! and killing it with those manuals!

[@MRGRetroEric]

Beautiful cabinets! Great episode!

[@travisj.1938]

Totally agree NBA jam is an absolute classic one of my all time most nostalgic games espec on Genesis that along with Mortal Kombat.

[@A553N]

cant believe i missed this in my sub box ! fuck ya my fav online show is BACK again . LOVE YA GAME CHASERS FUCKIN CHODES

[@ZachClay]

Mission Impossible is a legit fun N64 game. LOVED playing that.

[@RetiredMegatron]

I freaking love this show! very cool episode guys. Chris seems like a cool dude, it was kind of touching to see him find stuff.

[@SoulStorm360]

20:50 i can not hear this song without thinking of Jay hulking up making the stroke face, damn you season 3 DVD

[@leebumble]

Wow, those cabinets look great lads.

[@benoit1335]

cool to see a new game collector start his collection!

[@wesbrister4097]

Bro wear and tear on the truck plus storage. Chris deserved a cabinet

[@cannonballkid]

Saw this in my sub box and I knew I had to watch it.

[@heroesamurai]

[@TheeDogma]

[@james21113]

@The Game Chasers. I love those cabinets and jealous as can be

[@The7thLevelReviews]

Fun episode. Will watch it again with my son when I get home from work. XD

[@loco_Fox]

Work starts at 9, I'm here at 8... How will I pass the time? Oh hell yeah! Got myself some tea, now gonna enjoy my morning with this episode

[@Phil_YouTube]

Great episode guys! The cabinets look great! :)

[@crom19701]

Chris that was amazing job cleaning those cabinets. Great episode, Billy you need to hook Chris up with one of the cabinets.

[@megamarsonic]

Billy's constantly changing beard styles remind me of '99-early 2000's Chris Jericho.

[@PhantomExdeath]

Montage with 80's music? YES PERFECT

[@RyanFiereck11]

I know I'm catching up late. But it is like watching Billy go through cell transformations. Each time turning into more of a character.

[@j1ggy1979]

Guys... this show is awesome! Just discovered it today. I know it's far, but feel free to come out to Edmonton, Alberta if you ever decide to come back to Canada. Lots of retro game stores out here. I once got my hands on a Nintendo Control Deck Test Cartridge but sadly sold it for $$.

[@sdzero]

Thanks to you guys setting up the convention Retropalooza last year, I managed to get one of the games I've been looking for quite awhile. That game was Swat Kats for the snes. We spent hours over our grandmother's apartment playing that game because we only rented it for 2 nights from Blockbuster. So we had to beat the game within that time frame. We managed to beat it in 24 hours total...that includes an over night pause session while went to sleep. Fun times. There's only two more retro games I'm looking for and that's The Adventures of Batman & Robin/ Final Fight Guy both for the snes. Maybe you guys will be fortunate enough to find copies of them. They're really cool games. Awesome video as always doods!

[@TheGameChasers]

+sdzero That's what it's all about, man!

[@sardaomalandraj]

New episode? ME HAPPY!

[@Jex2112]

At the flea market I could see on one of the tables something very interesting… so I went back and zoomed in. And I recognised something from my past, and it really surprised me, so much in fact that I couldn’t help myself but yell out at the top of my voice… dThats muwah Pleystaytion!

[@georgecanquickscope2511]

I get sooooo hyped when I see a new episode, just as much as an AVGN episode, and that's an achievement!

[@MunkyD87]

Awesome find on the display cases. Weird thing is I came across one of those exact Nintendo 64 display cases in an antique store today, one day after you post this. Kinda weird

[@verygreedy100]

I've been a casual collector since the 90's.....Fantastic job guys....I had always subscribed to AVGN and Pat & Ian, but I just binge watched like every damn one of your episodes this week after work every day. You got a new sub now for sure. Keep it going. BTW I need a Little Samson. Billy had me in tears laughing so hard when he did the whole Star Wars dialogue in the cantina....."He doesn't like you....I don't like you EITHER...." lol....My wife thought I was nuts laughing my ass off. (That must've been like 20 eps ago. Anyhow.... Bravo Chodes!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Amazing results 😎👍

[@krono5el]

all the strike games and Red Zone on Genesis are incredible
