The TOP 5 ITEMS in My GAME COLLECTION

[@bananonymouslastname5693]

I love the idea of opening a sealed classic in advanced age and just having a personal moment. I'm notorious among my friends for opening many of my sealed games on a rainy day and having fun with them, but I may just save a couple for a few years down the road.

[@pancakesupremacy77]

I love how you guys come so close to our past with games, loved ones and getting through the eighties and nineties. I hope you guys keep doing what you do because you are a huge asset to KZbin for me.

[@RobbieWebster]

My family was pretty poor growing up. McDonalds was a huge treat. I mean we literally went a half dozen times my entire childhood. My brother and I used to love looking at the toy display and picking which one we hoped to get. Great memories :)

[@jeffm5056]

Someone needs to make a cologne of new video game cartridge smell. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I would always take in a deep whiff of that new video game smell when I brought a new game home. I still remember it to this day. I’d wear it with pride.

[@ourshit5725]

Alright Gabbo

[@JohnRiggs]

Great idea for a video! I'mma steal it for a future video idea.

[@TheGameChasers]

Only if I can do a ranking video!

[@Black01Dragon]

It really was a great video to watch as all us collectors can relate to those items that are close to our hearts. Would love to see you do one John!

[@16BitPete]

Not if i steal it first lol

[@silentundersea]

I see Billy keeps his game room at a *nice* 69 degrees

[@deusprogrammer_thekingofspace]

I had Flintsones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak when I was a kid. My little cousin gave me a bunch of NES games when I gave them a Sega CD after I got a Playstation. One of them was Flintstones. That being said...I gave them a Sega CD with both Lunar games, Popful Mail, and Time Gal...and now I absolutely regret both giving up those games and not knowing what happened to Flintstones. I think my dad threw it out after I left home.

[@thepillversusthespringhill9080]

Your dad was totally a gamer! If he was into flight sims, he was likely a pretty hard-core gamer at that.

[@OdinSpack]

A refreshing take on a collection video, the things that are most valuable to you. I really enjoyed this Top 5! Since you asked, I'll share two of mine. I have a sticker-sealed SMB3 that I found at a thrift store about 10 years back, the store employees tampered with it but nevertheless still sealed. I still picked it up because SMB3 is one of my favourite games of all-time and I can't wait for the day when I open that box up and play that copy for the first time. The other is this drawstring bag my fiancee made for me. It's embroidered with the logo of another favourite of mine, an obscure NES game "The Adventures of Rad Gravity". I can't imagine any official merch ever being made for that game, so it's cool to have something from it that I can display.

[@Grindhead_Jim]

I am all about having stories and memories attached to every item in my collection, if at all possible. Just a great nostalgia/smile factory!

[@jdcooks9929]

I absolutely LOVE these videos of your collection, ITS EPIC. On a previous video of your Game Room you showed us a Paramount display with a Star Trek sign in it. I was in love and needed one as I am trying to re-create a Video Rental store feel as part of my Game Room. Needless to say I found 2 one similar to yours that I now have holding a Beverly Hills Cop sign, and another older model Paramount display sign now holding "The Naked Gun, From The FIles Of Police Squad". Had to thank you for the idea. A tip for you if you have not done it yet, these displays hold 2 40w bulbs that I replaced with 2 LED 40w daylight bulbs, they use less electricity do not get hot, and the signs light up 100% better. Love the video, hope for more. Cant wait for Corona to be over so I can come to a Retropalooza to meet you and Jay want a photo with you guys to put in my Game Room. Oh they Kay Bee Shelve is amazing, the Super Mario 3 Mcdonalds display OMG no words 😍 Thanks Again!!!

[@belter321123]

That mark is still on your camera. Driving me nuts trying to clean my phone screen then I remembered you had issues 😂

[@hypersonic1337]

Ok I thought it was just me or Billy had a mole on his cheek now lmao

[@Lazer_steak]

I couldn't stop looking at it haha

[@Lostboyash33]

I literally thought it was on my tv, even went up to it to remove it haha

[@BlackMesaSecurity]

Holy Shit I kept trying to reach up and scrape whatever that was off my damn laptop screen. Drove me crazy till I realized it wasnt my screen.

[@KFXG]

I honestly don't even notice the mark.

[@IrieIslandGaming]

I remember watching the episode where you found the Flintstones game!

[@n0isyturtle]

Respect when you said you keep your games out of the boxes so you can get to them. Someone who actually appreciates the games for what they are and not just the value they represent.

[@jmac79ers]

Nice topic for a video, great top 5! Dunno what my other 4 are, but my #1 has got to be my childhood nes. It's the only console that I kept through all the years. My mom worked a retail job, supporting my brother and I by herself. We had rented an nes a couple times and I had absolutely fallen in love with it. Because we were not well off, I never expected to ever have my own. I was so surprised the day she came in the door and couldn't even wait to show me what she got me for my 8th bday. An action set. It's all yellow and I threw out the box 20 years ago, but the thing works like a tank and I love it.

Zelda A link to the past is my childhood. Never will forget when i get out and it rain in the game in the beggining.

[@FiveToedSloth]

I want that Happy Meal display more than I could ever say!

[@WegnerTheDeftones]

Right off the bat. I had the spring Mario when I was a kid! Thank you for bringing up that memory for me. I remember leaving little circle marks all over the back window from launching that thing 😂. Thanks again guys! Now back to the rest of the episode.

[@crobinson2624]

Super jelly of the Super Mario 3 display. I begged my mom to go to McDonald’s every morning to get all the Mario 3 toys. I actually have two Super Mario Happy Meal toy displays of toys that came out within the last few years.

[@ThisIsPete]

So happy to see the Atari ST getting some love. It's a super important part of my childhood, and like you, my Dad used it a lot for flight simulators, particularly Flight Simulator II that you show there and the military flight sims like Falcon and MicroProse's stuff. He also used it a lot for MIDI music making up until very recently -- it actually took quite a while for MIDI on the PC to catch up to the ST to a degree that he was satisfied leaving behind old faithful pieces of software like Steinberg Pro-24, early versions of Cubase and Notator (now Logic)! The Amiga may have been technologically superior for many games (particularly anything involving scrolling and sprites etc) but the Atari ST was no slouch -- and it was an incredibly distinctive piece of kit. And as I, my Dad and my brother all wrote for an Atari magazine here in the UK back when it was current, it will always be an incredibly important, nostalgic part of my collection that I still love playing with today. Indeed, it makes up a goodly proportion of my own KZbin channel!

[@ghostisblack]

I absolutely LOVE, that you said one day youll open that gremlins. I think sealed collecting is so dumb, but I also have sealed games that have been on my shelf a long time. Though, they are sealed because I just havent wanted to play them yet or they just dont need to be unsealed. I get you have differing reasons though as youve alraedy played it and own it open.

[@tonk82]

That Flintstones man... i clearly remember i watched that video when i discovered your channel and was marathoning your videos. It was the last video you had released at the time. So many years ago.. but i still get chills when i remember it. The thrill of the hunt guys, thats what it is

[@chrismeulen8108]

The FlinTstones* there is a letter T in the middle.......

[@tonk82]

@@chrismeulen8108 My mistake. I'm spanish so i know the spanish name mainly. Now that you pointed that to me, i will not make the same mistake again.

[@grandolddrummer]

Currently wearing a Link to the Past t-shirt. I love that game so much.

[@datassetteuser356]

Very nice video and a nice insight into your collection. Thanks for sharing!

[@daanhamstra]

One of my favorite games in my collection is street fighter 2 turbo. Not a rare or valueable game by any means, but this is one of the earliest video game memories I have of the 16-bit era. I remember going to a toy store and they had a street fighter arcade cabinet. I immediatly fell in love with the graphics and gameplay as an 9 year old kid. Later I got a snes for christmas and not much later was my b-day. I went to the store and forgot the name of the game I played on the arcade... So I checked every box art and checked the back of the box to see the gameplay.. and finally found street fighter 2 turbo. Good memories!

[@zerodohc]

I have a soft spot for A link to the past as well. I used to have dreams about that game. I had to look up the release date because I had to wait until Christmas to get it and the super nintendo and link to the past released early in 92. So it was a long wait as a kid. Anyways a few years ago I picked up a near mint complete in box copy where the original owner had took a razor blade and cut a flap to get the game out from the outside wrapper. The smell you are talking about is still there.

[@zoiddanorthcore1052]

Great pic ups of your collection. That no1 is also my all time favourite game. Same thing like no2, I found Little Samson Pal years ago for about 20 euro. And also get a sealed NES game, Bill Barkers Trickshooting, but I opened it. Great Top 5 Friday. Greetings from germany

[@drewbustank]

Really cool to see the authenticity and genuine expression of your passion for collecting! Felt like we all get to know you on a more personal level in a way, more than just following the channel.

[@RafaelMartinez-tt8mo]

Thank you for sharing that with us..you brought me back to my childhood when my parents could not afford any of this, and how disappointed I was. However now that I could you gave me the same feelings of hope and happiness you get showing us your collection and why they mean something to you.

[@mattyfinz]

I'm glad the Atari ST is on your list, because one of my favorite moments of the show, is when you wrote, composed, and performed the Atari ST song in one of the episodes. I'll sing it randomly at least once every two weeks.

[@TheGameChasers]

God I hate that song

[@sei161]

The dinosaur peak episode is still one of my favorites. It brings me back to browsing at funcoland as a kid

[@tonyolsson4376]

Am a huge Super Nintendo fan ever since the console was released. The crown jewel in my collection is actually a replica. But it is a mint complete HAGANE with black background color of the box artwork, instead of the green one. Love that game. A Link to the Past is still number 1 though.

[@JLuv81]

Awesome video Billy! Love that Super Mario 3 McDonald's display. Throw back for sure!!!

[@Ralkila]

I love how real you are guys, keep it like that.

[@crazyhandgrows6432]

For those curious like I was. A quick google search revealed a Gremlins 2 SNES sealed mint went for $285 US ducats in 01/2019.

[@crazyhandgrows6432]

Also a graded 9.0 (wata) went for $1.5K US on 12/20/2020. Wow

[@kingorion88]

You got a good dill on that silled Grimlins.

[@MrBergste]

A sealed copy of Link to the Past?!?! That's badass as hell! One of my all time favorite games from my childhood for sure.

[@BlueCheeseWheeze]

Still have my Luigi happy meal toy from that set. Unfortunately my dad ran over the koopa back in the day so I don't have it anymore.

[@verygreedy100]

Love old PC Big Box. Your McDonald's stuff is neat. Flintstones has more rarity than Samson and may crack $1500 soon. Mine is minty like yours. My best two items I found in the wild that I love....Metal Storm $5. Star Fox Competition Super Weekend...$25.

[@mad9936]

orb @ 5:07 bottom right? billy are u sure nothing youve ever bought is haunted??

[@TheGameChasers]

No I'm not sure

[@RetroWolf_YT]

Dude that Super Mario Bros McDonald's display is freaking awesome! No idea that McDonald's had a SMB3 run! Also man having a sealed copy of A Link to the Past is amazing and you should definitely open up one day man that will be super nostalgic!! On a side note skillshare is a great service so I am glad to see them sponsoring you!

[@TheGameChasers]

That would be cool!

[@Pretparry]

As far as i'm concerned, a sealed link to the past is the holy grail. congrats my good sir.

[@wojiaobill]

Dude I totally feel you on the sealed games thing. I recently got a sealed copy of Shining Wisdom for the Saturn -- not a rare or even particularly popular game, but having the chance to open a sealed game from more than two decades ago... man, what a great feeling!

[@amnesiac-original]

You've got a plus for Atari. Atari is magic

[@grundelitch4613]

Me and my Grandparents used to go ever Sunday after church I remember the Mario 3 Display big time. Had a few of the toys. I most remember when the had the Dick Tracy Peal Off cups and my sister pulled one out of the trash can it was a $100 winner. The good ole days.

[@steph4559]

Such a badass collection. I wish We could look at everything one day, a whole tour lol

[@TheGameChasers]

Much appreciated!

I love the Atari ST, I remember borrowing one from school to learn how to record midi keyboards, my mate brought round some games like Robocop and Space Harrier. Sorry to hear about the disk rot situation.

[@hauntedspaceship4175]

Thanks for always making fun videos Billy, a nice little escape on my lunch break.

[@Trusteft]

For some reason this video never appeared in my sub list. Oh well, youtube is...youtube. Great video man, I felt nostalgic just by watching it and I felt like giving you a hug. I don't know, weird. I have some top items in my game collection, I won't get into details because...I have no idea. They are two portable game systems, one is a game & watch and one is a third party one, lcd screen and all. Both from the 80s. The rest are a couple of early mid 90s PC games. Also a couple of Atari ST games (ST being the first computer I ever bought back in 1987). One of those games I looked for (a legit copy) over 30 years to find and only a couple of years ago I managed to find a copy. That is over 30 years of looking in stores, private listings, ebay, etc.. Not many people know the game, those who do tend to love it. As with the other items it is not something that would sell for much (rarity doesn't mean people are willing to pay much for it). But even if it was expensive, I just don't see me selling it ever. Well, perhaps for a billion euros/dollars. Not less than that though. 30 PLUS YEARS. NOT A SINGLE LISTING/sighting. Anyway, thanks for the video. Happy gaming.

[@gojordon1]

I usually really enjoy your top 5 video, but this one takes the cake for my favorite so far. Good job on another great video Billy, you always see to come up with such great video ideas 😊

[@TheGameChasers]

Hey thanks dude!

[@Retrorevelations]

It's not something I "need" by any means, and I certainly don't collect or even look to collect such things. BUT, having said all that, if someone gave me a sealed/unopened copy of MY favorite game of all time (Super Mario Bros 3), I would be pretty damn stoked about that. So I can see why you value that so much man. Good times. Also, the McDonald's shit is pretty great too. I never got all of the toys either, even though I badly wanted them. Only ever got Luigi and Koopa-Paratroopa. Still have those in fact, a couple of the few things I ever managed to keep from childhood. I'll never NOT wish I had gotten Goomba and Mario though.

[@midgeoso9744]

Love this. Its not just a top5, its a favorite 5, thanks man. I think my 5 would be a few common nes games. Ironsword and wizards and warriors 3, super mario bros 3, megaman, anticipation, and athletics world. All truly nostalgic to me because of the fun I had with my family and friends.

[@darrell5363]

4:45 nice easter egg

[@TankRodriguez3]

Lttp is my fav too. A sealed copy would be awesome.

[@randomninja]

Also, having memories attached to things makes it even better. I never thought Bubble Bobble on the NES would be one of my all time favorite games, but it became the first game I played co-op with my kids, and it was so much fun to play over and over again with them!

[@retrojustplay7426]

Oh it's Friday night!

[@richyvandamme]

Just curious, do u still have the price sticker from gamestop on the flintstones at dinosaur peak on it?

[@ggary04]

It wasn't gamestop I believe it was GameXChange, Billy cleaned it off a long time ago infact it was probably done the day he bought it as thats what I would have done. The funny part about the Dino Peak is that someone else watched that video and after turned around checked their local GameXChange and found a Dino Peak as well for the same price.

[@richyvandamme]

@@ggary04 I'm always unsure whether to remove price stickers. I probably would have taken it off on such a high value item, so long as I wouldn't be damaging the label obvs.
