[@ewstargamer]

Was a great day fella thanks for sharing it with me You got some awesome pickups too Great video mate

[@SEGAZombie]

Thanks again mate, it was a fantastic day and like I said a much needed time out from the hustle and bustle of life

[@RetroHead-od3cu]

Great video!

[@SEGAZombie]

Thanks mate

[@Coxtheman]

Was good to finally meet you mate 👍🏼 I hardly got a chance to have a walk around before the doors opened at 11am so good to see what was there! Unbelievable day and the busiest I’ve seen it in years! Great video dude 👌🏼

[@SEGAZombie]

Yeah good to finally meet you mate, it was a mental busy day , it took a good hour before we could walk around freely hahaha

[@colincoxhybridgamer906]

Love Tutankham great game

[@SEGAZombie]

I've been playing it and once you get used to the controls it's a very addictive little game

[@dumazipeliukai]

Got 9 streetpasses! Super Mega Happy 2!

[@8BitBoyUK]

Looks like you had fun mate. Those Mark III games looked tempting. I watched the video in two stages and had to go back and see the rest after work. I m glad I did. Some of those pickups were awesome mate. That story about you fighting with your mate gary was quite funny too. Glad you got to meet a few of the other you tubers. TootyUK is a gentleman!

[@SEGAZombie]

It was a fantastic day, hahah yes sometimes my videos need 2 sittings hahahah I'm pleased with what I picked up unfortunately I didn't sent spot any master system games I needed which was a shame

[@jakedolin2822]

Hey Zombie! So glad to have you "back" my friend! Hope life has gotten back to good for you and yours. I absolutely enjoy your content and wish you the very best. Keep em coming if possible!

[@SEGAZombie]

Hey, Life is full of challenges mate and I try and face them all head on and learn from each one I've been working really hard and now I'm settling into the new shop I've managed to find time to get the videos a bit more consistent, I have so many ideas and things I want to share on the channel

[@jakedolin2822]

Well man, that's great to hear. That is definitely the way people should always try to face adversity in life! Thank you for setting a good example for the youth that watch your channel as well! Good on you, "Mate", lol.

[@SEGASaturnLad]

Good day out mate

[@SEGAZombie]

Yeah it was a great day good to see you and Max mate

[@jonathanwatkins3389]

That market was mad, would have been great to meet up, I ended up at the pub with segahead (Tom) and retro gamer boy (Mike), I’ve been going for a few years and picked up a couple of megadrive games and finally started up a gameboy collection. Great market and hopefully catch you there next time, great video and footage 👍👍👍

[@SEGAZombie]

I did chat to Tom when we first got into the market, I was hoping to meet up with you guys at the pub but due to us arriving at 12 and how full the market was we didn’t get to look around properly until late and ended up chatting the day away with so many people 😂 I like to talk lol Hopefully catch you at the next one in March mate

[@Wizbitsrandomgaming]

My first time there Really enjoyed it

[@SEGAZombie]

A great day

[@Gold2thGaming]

Very good footage and some rare games shown,Looked well busy to say footage was later on,Sega Saturn stick £3.75 😂👌Good pickups and make sure you grab them Sega cd games if possible

[@SEGAZombie]

Thanks mate, there was some beautiful Sega on display I wish Xmas wasn’t around the corner I would of had those Sega cd games as I’m so close to the full mega cd set Hahaha yeah that Saturn stick was sexual 😂 if only it was £3.75 😂

[@Gold2thGaming]

@@SEGAZombieI know Xmas is nearly here,sometimes good though for people wanting money offering stuff up cheap but £3.75 was mega 🤣👊🏻

[@tootyuk]

No worries on the games mate, you bagged some beauts, Daz did really well on the Atari and sadly for you it was the classic mistake of "ill come back later" only to find theyve gone :( Alan had some top notch items i could have spent 1000's with him i didnt see them megacd games, if you dont have them off him i will hahahaha! Mr run n Jump is brill im sure you'll enjoy that, great to see you all lads again and was super to have the laugh and the craic as you say well needed!

[@SEGAZombie]

Thanks again Stu on the bundle of games ha I didn't think I would be buying an RPG at the market hahaha It was a heavy Atari focus this Market all because of the Atari + has pulled me into the hype hahahah Mate I was truly gutted that I missed those Parker brother games off Daz nextime I need to just buy them hahaha Me and Alan swapped numbers hoping to get the deal done on those mega cd games It was a great day for socializing got to meet old friends and loads of new

[@DarrenMcCowan280470]

Great to see you again my man. What a day but boy, was it BUSY! I’d genuinely be gutted if you don’t like Spider Fighter so no pressure 😅

[@SEGAZombie]

Great day, always good to see you Daz looks like you and Tooty had a busy and fruitful day I’m looking forward to playing spider fighter I won’t touch it now until the video hahaha

[@MrBads_Games]

Hey, dude! It's been great watching some old fashioned Atari pick ups from the like of Stu and yourself! It's a wonderful machine to collect for, with so many memories attached to absolutely loads of games. I'd watch that Darren if I were you, he's a great salesman! 😜 He has a really nice VCS collection, himself! I don't think I've ever played on an Atari 7800 before, nor the 5200. Kaboom is a frantic game, which I have only ever played with a joystick! Not a good way in which to play the game! 🤣 There are many versions of that Shinobi game. I remember looking in to it a few years back. I believe version 1.0 is the one with all the characters. I'm not sure which version I have myself, to be honest! All the best, Scott! 👍🏻

[@SEGAZombie]

Hey Paul, I hope you and the family are well mate good to hear from you, hope to see some content from you soon mate 🤞 Yeah I've been thrown right back into the Atari loving the nostalgia and the box art and some of the games are just so good pure gameplay You should definitely give the 7800 a try, I don't think I've ever played a 5200 either lol

[@XFile2708]

Looks like it was an awesome event matey and packed full of decent tubers as well lol Never apologise for to much 2600 goodness.. it was my first console growing up and is still super nostalgic to this day 😁👍

[@RetroEdUK]

Sorry I missed you. I did the early bird and left around 12.30; was a bit busy haha. That said I bagged a couple of bits. Vid on its way but one of your pick ups made me smile as we grabbed something fairly similar. I’m super Shinobi it’s either stage 5 or 6 when you fight Spidey / Batman 😂. I think Godzilla is there as well but I’ve never got that far!! Have a goodun. 😊👍

[@SEGAZombie]

No way Ed gutted we missed you, you must have been clawing your way out as we were squeezing our way in 😂

[@SEGAZombie]

Yes Spider-Man I’ve seen in Shinobi but would love to get as far to see Godzilla

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

The market looked fantastic mate, You must have had a great time , No statue got to meet up with other Tubers Especially my boys Ali Ali and Tulk , Maybe 1 day I will be lucky enough to meet them for myself, Some fantastic pickups mate great to see you really Getting into the Atari Again

[@SEGAZombie]

It was a fantastic day the chatting for me is what makes it lol Ali Ali and Tulk are top guys Yeah I’ve definitely plunged into the Atari 😂

[@Champion2D]

Im sort of glad i came late given how busy it was. To be honest given how little sleep i got imamazed i showed up at all 😅. Glad you did well with your purchases Scott. I wasnt very impressed myself. Like you pointed out a lot of stuff was either really expensive or in poor condition. The prices really put me off as i came across a lot of cases where it was cheaper to get on ebay! 😮 . When ebay becomes the cheaper option you have to ask yourself why even bother 😅. Always great to chat with you guys. Its a shame we couldnt hang out longer.

[@SEGAZombie]

Mate you arrived at the perfect time tbh as it was way more calmer and less hassle and bustle 😂 If looking for Nintendo card board then yeah condition was average to poor and the minty stuff unfortunately your right was over eBay prices which is a shame It was definitely a Sega day I would say with what was on display If I didn’t go all out Atari I would have left with only a few bits It is a real shame we couldn’t hang out longer p, we definitely will at the next one Bruv

[@retroimportgamer513]

Sounds like it wAs a good day out, you certainly got a nice bunch of Atari stuff, think the 2600+ has certainly revived interest, it's sure made me buy a few. Noticed Daz had a nice selection and one I'm after at least That Saturn stick was a bargain at £375 I'd say 👍

[@SEGAZombie]

It was a great day, I've definitely fell into the Atari hype off the back of the 2600+ Loving the box art on these games Daz had some awesome Atari boxes complete games

[@VirajKathwadia]

In regards to The Super shinobi, you are correct, it was the version that didn't have Rambo, removed to a bald man, it has Godzilla, and Spider-man transforming to the Dark Knight himself is in this game, it is wild, this is the first version, so props to you. Pier Solar is an amazing RPG and a technical marvel, this game has an enthralling soundtrack on both MD and the Sega CD soundtrack and yes play it, it was inspired by Phantasy Star IV and Chrono Trigger which are the best RPG's of that era. Largest memory for the MD in terms of cart for the time. (Paprium has changed that)

[@SEGAZombie]

I’m so looking forward to playing through Super Shinobi I didn’t know Rambo featured lol I knew Godzilla, Spencer man and Batman make an appearance lol All this praise for Pier Solar I’m gonna have to give this game a play

[@VirajKathwadia]

@@SEGAZombie You'll see him, he aint a boss, he's just a villain, I beat the game only recently funnily enough as it was a challenge that my buddies gave me. A video we did of the review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSUpYivnZKLpa8

[@TheWaveBloke]

It was great to chat with you yesterday. That was probably the busiest LGM we've seen in years! I'm really looking forward to visiting Retro Realm sometime soon :)

[@SEGAZombie]

I enjoyed are chat and I think it’s awesome what your doing with wave studio and the games you have released so, intrepid Izzy has been my favourite so far, look forward to your visits to the Retro realm

[@RetroRewind77]

Omg that sf2 turbo in was mint and £40 I would of been all over that, wow dude loving all the Atari pick ups 👊🏻

[@SEGAZombie]

It was a lovely example of the street fighter 2 tin set, I have well and truly fell into the Atari rabbit hole hahaha

[@RetroRewind77]

@@SEGAZombie been trying to find a mint one for my collection as sold mine 15 years ago. I’ve been picking up the old Atari to add to my childhood collection and might have to get the 2600+

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Looked like a great event, weren't you tempted to do your own stall? Don't have a favourite atari game, as I've said before, never played on one. 🤣. Awesome atari pick ups, love the boxes. That megadrive game sounds interesting, never heard of it.

[@SEGAZombie]

It was a great day for retro and to socialize I'm very tempted to do a retro realm stall maybe next year once I've settled in the new shop Still can't believe you have never played an Atari, I think you would like the experience as you love 8 bit micros the Atari has a charm somewhat like the good old Speccy

[@TheArcadeArchive]

I do miss the London gaming market just for the social if anything as I’ve not seen you guys in ages. I went on a raid that weekend which I couldn’t miss and it turned out to be amazing experience finding old arcade machines, but my god was it hard work. Some fantastic Atari pickups in which all have such cool art work. Did you get to play super shinobi and was it any different?

[@SEGAZombie]

Hopefully you can make it to a London gaming market next year bro, I only make it to London as it's on a Sunday lol Oh wow looking forward to a video hopefully on the arcade raid mate I will be playing through shinobi real soon it's at the top of my games to play pile hahaha

[@rodgyretrogamer3334]

Great footage of the market...so many treats on show for sale...ive never been to a gaming market, always been put off as I know I would want thousands in my back pocket as there will be so much I want for the collection. Hopefully next year I will make it to one 🤞 I have no nostalgia etc for the atari stuff but, I love to see the box art (box porn) and also hear the memories as to why you have added them...gotta admit that Wrestling game looks awesome! Shinobi-j and Pier Solar.... now that's more like it 😍 Would love to see you do a megadrive playthrough of Pier Solar...always been tempted by that myself - I also don't play rpg's usually though. Nice one Scott 😉👍

[@VirajKathwadia]

Ahh that was my table (Bygone Games) at 9 mins and me talking to that last customer I served selling the Sega GO 60th anniversary pin frame (which sadly you didn't see) the stamp collection went with it. I also had that Sega/Sieko Sega Go Watch only 800 were made and was only sold in Japan that you did take a shot of. You are right it was really packed and my body was aching. Mad respect for you for using the A12. I look foward to seeing you again be sure to say hello!

[@SEGAZombie]

You had a fantastic table of games and Sega merchandise, loved the Sega bling watches, I have the Dreamcast watch in my collection one day hopefully I can add the others. I got a glimpse of the 60th anniversary pin set but that guy beat me too it, I hope you got plenty of rest after the event mate it was so busy Yes the A12 is a nightmare at the moment

[@VirajKathwadia]

@@SEGAZombie I'm still knackerd, but I'll be ready for the next one, I'll see if I can get another Pin set from Japan if they are available for the next one. You are right in it being busy, I felt bad as people just stuck around a long time staring at stuff on my table and not everyone could see the stuff I had as they were in the way so that was kind of a negative as I feel many missed out. One of my mates could not handle it and just left coz it got so jam packed! This is a hobby for me and I enjoy being a facilitator of such things. Glad you loved the stuff on my table.

[@nerdygeezer78]

I'm gutted I couldn't make it as I was off work for once.....

[@SEGAZombie]

Yeah gutted you didn't make it to the Market mate I was half expecting you to turn up with Martin hobby Lodge

[@TheRampageTulk]

Ah thanks a lot for the shout out brother, what a pleasure it was meeting the legend Zombie dead in the flesh 😂 That Spider Fight is some retro box art p0rn 😍😍 You MUST play Pier Solar, it looks so good. Play a few hours and then do a video review!!

[@SEGAZombie]

Mate it was an absolute pleasure to meet you, a great day a great laugh, you and Ali Ali crack me up with your antics, looking forward to when you rock up to the Realm Maybe I need to play an RPG think Pier Solar will be top of the pile when I do 😂

[@TheRampageTulk]

@@SEGAZombie ye man can’t wait to come up to the realm very soon!! You have to give that game a go, once you start it I bet you will finish it, it’s an RPG it’ll hook you!

[@TheRetroGodfather.]

It was good to see you and the others again at the gaming market Scott, another good market very very busy though !!

[@SEGAZombie]

Always good to catch up with you at the London gaming market mate

[@Tetlee]

Cracking pickups there Scott, especially the Atari stuff, those 7800 boxes sure were sexy🙂 Must resist the Atari 2600+, must resist!!! Anyway that is easier now that I've allowed the opportunity of bargain buys to pass me buy as prices have really increased since release. I have plenty enough systems to focus on. London Gamer Market looks awesome, I will get to one of those, even if mainly to just potter around looking and hopefully a bit of a social aswell. Great vid mate. Oh and Tutankham was indeed a great game, and that Spider game sounds super interesting, look forward to seeing your vid on that one.

[@SEGAZombie]

Thanks Lee, I think I got a little carried away with all the Atari but great prices and Stella deals on all of the Atari and I just can’t resist the pretty box art😂 It’s definitely worth a trip down mate to the London gaming market it’s great to browse at games you just never see anywhere else but the best part of the day is just meeting up with friends and like minded people . First game I’ve loaded in, Tutankham it’s a solid little game if not a tad frustrating to control but think I’m getting the hang of it now hahahah Plenty of Atari content soon 😂

[@lggsretrofinds4461]

it was crazy it was exhausting but fun as seller never seen it as packed

[@SEGAZombie]

Mate you deserve. Rest if you were selling a very busy day

[@lggsretrofinds4461]

i did rest but u was right full to the brim not at rest till 3.30 ish@@SEGAZombie

[@pferreira1983]

I would love to buy Samurai Shodown and Fatal Fury Special for the Mega CD.

[@SEGAZombie]

2 very expensive games on the Mega CD

[@pferreira1983]

@@SEGAZombie Yep.

[@spacemidget9416]

Yo! So the only way to tell if you have a v1.0 Super Shinobi is to play through to stage 3 unfortunately. If you have Rambo in the level, congrats! It's a shame you have to get through that bastard waterfall stage 2 first though!

[@SEGAZombie]

Oh the waterfall stage sticks firmly in my mind hahaha I'm looking forward to trying this out let's hope there's no gamer rage hahahah

[@pjmlfc05]

Great video. Had an earlybird ticket for this. Did enjoy it to begin with, managed to pick up a few Japanese Dreamcast and Super Famicom games. However it was jam packed just after 12. For me, too many people are let in. People constantly barging into you and it's a struggle to move around. Was checking out mega drive games on the floor and someone kneed me in the head. To be fair, the guy apologised, but it is putting me off going to this market in future. Looked much better when you went, what time did you film this?

[@SEGAZombie]

That’s awesome you managed to bag some Japanese Dreamcast games, we got into the market bang on 12 and yes it was rammed way to many people, we managed to squeeze are way through to the back room and found a small space in the corner where we let the crowds die down enough so we could actually walk around, the footage was filmed around 2 o clock a lot more calmer then

[@gingerhippygaming7962]

Looks way to busy for me

[@SEGAZombie]

It was very busy Si, it did slow down thankfully

[@juantwothreegoretro]

Shout out to Viraj of @segamegamasters and Bygone Games! 👋🏼😁

[@SEGAZombie]

Viraj had some stunning sega items at the market
