Utah Retro Game Expo had the Best Prices of Most Game Expos

[@JohnRiggs]

I love attending conventions. I was recently in Long Island Retro Game Expo as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZCvkJyFf5umrpY

[@prosfilaes]

Gunsmith Cats is an awesome anime; eventually I found a pirate download instead of dragging my VHS out and watching the tape, but it was well worth it.

[@WilliamBraford]

Glad to see you there. It's been crazy how fast and large this swap has grown from a tent in the mud to a conference center with guest speakers.

[@wedge47]

Blueprint is probably in my top 5 of Atari games. That one is so much fun. Journey Escape and Missile Command are both up there as well. Keystone Kapers, Pitfall II, Haunted House... man I could go on. lol

[@TangoWithTheCobra]

12:48 That rental case art. Dang, I remember that. Great memories at the video store.

[@JoNev1]

Aaaaand 1:40 is the EXACT reason why I respect and luv John Riggs. Always a class act brotha!👍🏆💯😎🎮 #Respect #Honor

[@SaturdayMorningGamer]

Fun video! :) that stocker on the mug @6:25 XD

[@walcodebruyn2135]

This was awesome can't wait to watch it later! Thanks for always sharing your trips with us John!

[@supaflyguy666]

Dude, John, I LOVE these con videos. They make me feel like I’m there and make me happy. The cons we get in our neck of the woods are so soulless and charmless, so these videos give me a slice of the real experience. Thanks John.

[@game_master_rukia]

never thought i'd see my old copy of gunsmith cats after my parents got rid of it and other vhs i had. i'd recognize that tape anywhere so enjoy it

[@eversosleight]

John, you have some of the best audio on your channel! Nice clear and loud

[@JohnRiggs]

I'll take the compliment, it's literally just my phone when I travel.

[@sfrogley1906]

Sure was nice meeting ya in person John thanks for the good content!

[@MrJeanFeu]

John is the GOAT 🤘🤘

[@mbeaup7700]

Looks like a goat

[@SophiaNyx]

bahahahah

[@thebrammerhammer23]

It was so awesome attending and getting to meet you. I was even in the video. In the background in my pink kirby shirt.

[@zippo49]

Nice to see your video! Unfortunately I was out of town and missed the fun. There was a copy of Metal Slug Advance @8:07!!

[@ModwalletOFFICIAL]

I loved this convention. I found so many great deals!

[@WavesNGames]

Looks like it was packed. Great turn out, and great deals.

[@JohnRiggs]

join us next time!

[@toddburgess5056]

Dude really did the NBA JAMS BOOOM SHAKALAKA !! 🤯🤯🤯 🔥🏀🏀🏀🔥 He's heating up !!

[@BnomicaL]

The Anime VHS tapes are a steal! MD Geist brings back memories..

[@kylef.3554]

John is the nicest dude! It was a pleasure to meet him, go to his Q&A and talk to him afterword. He is as genuine and awesome in person as on his channel. Even when another guy tries to answer all of his questions during his Q&A! 🤣

[@JohnRiggs]

Nice meeting you, too! Super fun convention. Hope to return sometime.

[@mrp4242]

2:05. You know John Riggs knows his stuff when he pronounces the town as the locals would--“Late-in.” Nice job Riggs!

[@JohnRiggs]

I used to live in Idaho Falls for 5 years. I used to come through the area often :)

[@ThomasHostvedt]

Panic! on the Sega CD is an absolute hidden gem. I’ve never seen it in the wild and have only been able to play via emulation. John, you’ve got exceptional taste my friend 👌😎

[@egocide9034]

INXS is one my favorite bands from the 80s that I rarely hear anybody talk about now. Loved their videos on MTV when I was little, lotta nostalgia there. Good taste, Riggs.

[@MisterCasket]

12:34 That jetfighter top left, with the two orange missile things, man that jogged a memory! I remember a neighbouring kid had that, where I used to go and play. What is that toy?

[@selbyjohnson5986]

its a transformer but I can’t remember it’s name. I used to have it.

[@MisterCasket]

@@selbyjohnson5986 thanks! trying to look it up now I know that's a transformer.

[@stevefulkerson4995]

Cool to meet you in person at this thing, thanks for haning in Utah

[@branscombe_]

We do not have these events in my small city, so thanks for always taking us on tour with you Jon. God bless you.

[@willy7369]

That con looked amazing and the Prices you spotted Were Awesome

[@selbyjohnson5986]

I really like the convention videos! You are on the road a lot this year!

[@mjdf122]

Riggs and the convention/expo great times

[@GenerationPixel]

Nice to see some big box PC out in the wild. I still love INXS, you're a top bloke Mr Riggs 😎👍

[@ultramaximusreviews]

I had that Hobbit RCA video disk as a kid. Man I watched that hundreds of times.

[@owlbelieveit6811]

Hey John, I met you there and we talked about the Lunar games. Was awesome meeting you in person, hope you come back to Utah for the next swap!

[@JohnRiggs]

Sega CD > PS1 version IMO

[@owlbelieveit6811]

Agreed.@@JohnRiggs

[@popvoxmusic]

I still bring my 3DS with me everywhere, and now I have a new life goal: Exchange Streetpass tags with John Riggs.

[@BnomicaL]

Bnomical here. I will see you at Pittsburgh Gaming Expo at the end of the month John. 🎉

[@shocked_shocked7703]

Fun seeing Minus World's table.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Man they don't any conventions or anything around here of anything except vinyls records. If I went to one of those I'll need my grocery cart for how many I would buy lol!😂 Thanks for showing your adventures at convention for us that can't go. Cool video John!👉😃👈

[@prosfilaes]

I saw him pull out the Care Bears VHS box with appreciation, but apparently JohnRiggs already has those?

[@darrentg6]

Wished I could have gone, was selling stuff at the one last year, quite a better turn-out this year! The streetpass thing was a nice touch.

[@OldNick999-real1]

I live in Utah, and this is the third time I’ve been to this swap meet.

[@CarlDelinden]

Another great adventure uploaded by Lord Riggs! Epic!

[@legendarynostalgia8561]

John...Love you brother.... You could never put out enough videos for me to be content!!!! Keep it up brother. *Waves from Kenosha, WI*

[@toddburgess5056]

I remember watching Masters of the Universe on RCA video disc, I also remember the SMELL !! 😍🙃🤤😬

[@DSGuyJay]

Would’ve loved to have street passed with ya Riggs! Enjoy the Beehive State come back soon 👍

[@jkemp6791]

I was at this convention and bummed I didn’t get to meet my man Riggs.

[@jodiemcclure7854]

omg that switch Keychain is so adorable

[@Catastrophic-hk3mh]

My dad repairs the old RCA video disc players. They used a actual needle in them

[@JLAvey]

Still haven't played your game yet. It's on the shelf in the company of Soul Caliber, Skies of Arcadia and Starlancer. That's the reason to go to these events; homebrews and fan translation repros. I stopped at that table too, picked up translated Final Fantasy V and Bahamut Lagoon. They had Feda there too, which was a surprise. I didn't realize anyone translated that game. Did they ever get their microphones to work consistently?

[@branscombe_]

2:50 😂😂😂 it’s wiggity wiggity whack

[@sfrogley1906]

Haha “no just regular type”

[@jd213_]

Those boxed Transformers are probably both counterfeits, an easy clue on Mirage is that there's a gap between the tire on his main box art and the right side of the box

[@launchedkode]

Time lord. Damm I bought that in 2008 I remember but sold it soon after loved the music

[@iamtheliquor809]

Shoutout to 6:08 for Angie Spray Art! WOOT WOOT!!

[@JenniferStratton-pz3op]

Thanks for sharing😊

[@mtshark7]

Awesome stuff John!

[@dman7895]

thanks for these vids, so sorry about your jacked ds/3ds!

[@JohnRiggs]

my own fault for being so trustworthy, leaving my DS under my table at a previous con.

[@TheBandicootNerd131]

Gunsmith Cats is great!

[@mnretrogamer7189]

6:49 John Riggs promotes CBD

[@JohnRiggs]

CBD, DVD, it's all good with me.

[@FretzlemaniaPod]

I had time lord as a kid and could never beat it.

[@PixelatedH2O]

Not being able to drive definitely has its downsides. I live in Salt Lake City and it would have taken me about two hours to get to the show. Looks like it was pretty awesome.

[@dwaynemenzies8824]

I have one of those light joints, but mine is a skeleton had with middle finger up.

[@razorr527]

That sucks. Im stuck at work. I didn't know this was today.

[@jedipookie]

The no applause part really made me mad. As a performer, I assure nobody is too cool to clap

[@JohnRiggs]

must've been too early.

[@jeremysteelman2900]

Time Lord rules!

[@indysquirrels]

I remember going to Salt Lake City with my wife on a work trip. We paid like $5 for downtown parking for a Jazz game. I felt like I was robbing somebody.

[@JohnRiggs]

geez! I think it's upwards of $100 or more for Seattle events.

[@jimbox114]

Im glad I got the majority of my retro games before everybody was collecting them and they were all cheap.

[@goldenphonautogram6141]

Phoenix Resale is about to change that

[@Owazrim]

They were giving away a boxed SG-1000 II?! Too cool.

[@JohnRiggs]

That was part of the auction. Our giveaways were Retro Fighters controllers :)

[@Owazrim]

oh, any idea what it went for?@@JohnRiggs

[@ValtinaProductions]

That girl sitting next to the guy talking about his comic book is amazingly hot.

[@preamstrikbiz0]

Utah also has some of the strictest drinking and driving laws in the county , stay home safe gaming !

[@JohnRiggs]

Yeah, pretty hard core on the beer laws.

[@charliexander2444]

8:23. Hello 👀

[@robinhatherall6779]

INXS woohoo Australian band. Check out their earlier work which can be very ska/like. Shabooh Shoobah is a classic.

[@nashonator8544]

I didnt see cheap stuff like that in Connecticut . is it more expensive in new england?

[@ShinySephiroth1]

How often does this happen!? I'm from Utah and never heard of this!

[@steveb7932]

i have a case that matches that rental case but another game

[@Christophersanchez1326]

Mr Sparkle 😮 T-shirt. Get..

[@feelsbad6312]

wish they would do these in phx

[@JohnRiggs]

Game On Expo is amazing!

[@caseywilliams4145]

Bro was that an 80s Swoop Dinobot still in the package???🤯

[@JohnRiggs]

it was, and for cheap!

[@caseywilliams4145]

@@JohnRiggs 🤯 I totally need it

[@poguesguinness]

You must love yourself a lot to wear a cap and a shirt with your name on it. It’s like if a rock band perfiormed with their own band t-shirt. (still love your channel by the way)

[@looselycollected7505]

If you want a bunch of loose play carts for the 2600 let me know. I have a bunch extra that I'll sell to you at $1 each plus shipping.

[@homerdeadlyscorpio54]

I brought my 3DS and got your streetpass

[@JohnRiggs]

nicely done!

[@jacksonbarker7594]

This is over? I live 20 minutes from there and didn’t know this was going on at all :/

[@JohnRiggs]

you'll know for next time.

[@dylanzenskateboarding]

Love gsc

[@MRCAB]

Can’t watch!!! Too many good deals.

[@Cheeseshredder]

no buy NES? 😮

[@Zenz957]

I’m sorry about the baby crying, it’s my nephew he wanted to be held

[@JohnRiggs]

Never a worry from me! I had three kids that age once. I'm very sympathetic towards babies crying in public places. I totally get it.

[@joshkelly4682]

Wish i could've been there to check out those $5 games, my nes collection is at 93 games but my snes collection is lacking with only 15 games
