Video Game Pick Ups Episode 11 Thrift Store Haul of Gameboy Goodness

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I don't have it yet. Definitely plan on getting one at some point though

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I'm actually giving the 2nd one to a friend already. When I got home and told him about the trip I asked him if he had one or wanted it.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

It does in a way. Figure if you're at home and wanna play it then why not? Blow it up real big on the screen and when you gotta leave you pop it out into your gameboy and keep playing. Plus it made put some of the games into color which was pretty cool at the time

[@KrateKarrot]

Fuck it, I'm moving to america. Here in the UK all that stuff would cost £150 at least. A single gameboy is hard to find for less then £20.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

lol trust me man ive been getting that look for years. never gets old and especially more amusing if you're pleasant and friendly to people lol fucks their head up pretty good

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

lol Same here man, same here. Hell I even to this day I still can't get as far as she did when I was little

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

No doubt. I'm gonna be seeing both. Batman I'll be seeing for the midnight showing though since that's what i did last time. I think it'll be amazing but not as good as The Dark Knight, that was in it's own class

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I only had Gameboy for the longest time. Didn't get a Gamegear til my later teens to be honest lol I got to play them from time to time whenever I knew someone who had one or went to a store but that was about it

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I do here and there. do a lot of stuff with MAME and used to play quite a few different MMO's plus random FPS games back in the day

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Hell yeah, I always do now lol Everyone has told me nothing but good things about it and said the same thing about waiting til the very very end

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I thought about it but I would rather just have one of the newer slim models since they seem to be a ton more reliable. I don't wanna see the system die again :\

[@Davidevgen]

i have wild snake (i just got it from the triftstore as well. you know some of those boxes have a plasic coding over it if you use 90 persent alcohol on the box you might be able to get it off

[@MeanimeGD]

Twisted Tales of Spike McFang was such a fun game. Spinning around to attack is the one thing I remember right away when thinking back on that game.

[@Retromicky82]

Awesome finds . I seem to be finding alot of gameboy games but no orginal gameboy . My family cats just finished treatment after a bad acident .

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

lol Yeah, but that happens whenever you get big bundles of games sometimes. No biggie to me

[@Silverone43]

yeah definitely agree with ya on that one. also pro-tip:When you see The Avengers wait until after the credits there is a bonus scene that hints to the villain of the possible sequel.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

online, gotta look all over and figure out what it's goin for. I actually made a video of game collecting tips talking about it. makes it a lot easier to know if you're getting a good deal or not

[@viraticwars]

Have you seen about sendig it in? There is a $101 dollar cost with it if it is a white version. I did it and I am pretty pleased with it.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Dude that's badass, cool to know you got up to 20 vids of that too :D

[@97Retrogamenerd]

yea, i got it at a thrift store. il be making a video about it soon for my 20th pickup video for most amazing finds. i also got like 35 other NES games for same price, all uncommon games

[@TheCompletionist]

The fact that you have a cat, and a very adorable one at that made this video very much worth it.

[@robotwo]

Were the gameboys in full working order? The old DMG-01 gameboys have a very iffy flat cable for the screen. On a lot of units they start to come loose and makes either rows or collumns on the screen appear dead.

[@Vectrex4Life]

I recently got a fully working for for $3 at a garage sale...

[@riccardopapaluca442]

Spike McFang is actually really really good. Its a action RPG in the style of Zelda. One of the hidden Gems on the SNES. Play it.

[@MrGencyExit64]

Couldn't find a shelf, so you got more stuff you didn't have a shelf to put on... sounds like something I'd do :P

[@SnakezJR]

Do you still have it? And what is broken about it? The screen? Does it start up?

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

No but I really wanna go see it, looks badass as hell

[@shakefan1484]

I barely have any luck finding games at thrift stores. The best things I found were Space Marine and the original Spyro games.

[@CAMMANDO321]

Great video on a completely unrelated note is that the limited edition razor blade usb that comes with the Nine Inch Nails Girl with the dragon tattoo soundtrack?

[@ProjectReality64]

have you ever done a game room tour?

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

That right there is awesome as hell, gotta say you bested my deal and then some lol

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

You're lucky as all hell. Heck I've never even seen the game in person lol Played a rom though and liked it alot

[@creepingdeath393]

Bases loaded is actually really fun! I remember playing it while on vacation in the car.

[@montywh]

some of these remind me when i had my first game boy for christmas one year. my parents went out to walmart to get a gameboy color packed with pokemon yellow, and went out of their way to a pawn shop and got 6 old gameboy games that i seen in this video. i remember having Tetris (obviously), Motocross Maniacs, TMNT Fall of the Foot Clan (hard as hell), Batman (hardest old school game boy game ever), Bases Loaded, and Frogger. that was a fun year or 2 until i broke the gameboy screen :(

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Nope same camera I've been using

[@timsohn7057]

I remember I lost my backplate, so batteries would fall out. I used to use my fingers to hold them in place, but if i slipped, scratched my head etc. it would move and turn off and i be like crruuuddd!!

[@ryanc519]

Do you have a Gameboy light? if not you should get one

[@perun1nj]

I found Ducktales 2 for like 12 bucks at a retro shop about a year ago, best find i ever had.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I've been collecting since 1998 so this isn't something that just cropped up over night lol I've always been very good at managing my money. Ya know getting bills and rent paid first then everything else is 2nd.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Got a Super Gameboy and Gameboy Player. Can't finnd the fucking disc for it though :\

[@tehswayze101]

I just started game hunting last weekend in Maryland and I wanna know if I got a steal from this one dealer: Legend of Dragoon Black Label Complete, Azure Dreams Complete, Wild Arms 2&3, Legend of Legaia /w manual, Ikaruga, Luigi's Mansion Complete, Soul Reaver Complete, Blood Omen Complete, Super Game Boy, Warcraft 3 Battlechest, Purple Atomic N64 controller /w rumble pack all for $25.

[@ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

I recently picked GB gaming back up on my graphing calculator. I really need to get a gameboy.

[@republiccommando1164]

Hey Alpha did you ever hear of the Nokia Ngage or the Gizmondo ?

[@97Retrogamenerd]

well, not necessarily. im just doing weekly pickups and saving the best ones when i didnt do vids back then into landmarks like 10th pickup video (accomplished) and the next big one after the 20th most amazing find at a thrift store will be of my magnavox oddysey find. check out my latest vid if you can, i got a rare CIB system for cheap

[@Balfyeatscaca]

Great pick ups,I too got some awesome stuff today, I went to a yard sale and got an NES, Sega Genesis, Gamecube, Xbox, ps1, and N64 with perfect dark, ocarina of time, goldeneye, and pokemon stadium for $100. All kinds of crazy hookups and light guns, metroid 2, metal gear, thps2, wanderers from Y's 3, street fighter 2 and two hardcover zelda game guides. And he also threw in Son in Law on VHS. Success

[@UndergroundRetro]

I envy ur deal, were you into the original gameboy or game gear at the time?

[@dungeonmaster600]

nice one dude of course here in garnd forks you cant get your hands on a nes less your willing to pay 100 bucks yo so where did you get one for8 yo?

[@manlazy602]

its worse in vancouver all we got is disc games for like $3-5 :( some are good but no NES. where do u find the prices for ur games?

[@pokemonfanlink6996]

alphaomegasin do you have any tips where i can find an expansion pak for n64 so i can play legend of zelda majoras mask

[@digipimp75]

did this happen in the merry merry month of May?

[@MightIShare]

I used to own a Japanese Famicom cartridge of the original Super Mario Bros. with hand-written Japanese characters on the back of it in black marker. I actually showed this cartridge in my 'Proof my English Earthbound/Mother trilogy carts work' video I posted. I didn't show the hand-written Japanese characters on it though because in case it was somebody's full name, I didn't really want to present it publicly for reasons having to do with people's privacy.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

lol Hell yeah man, heck I've uploaded quite a few comic book based videos on here

[@cronolink9]

Okay...so that is completely awesome that you named your cat Loki...name fits perfectly. Great pickups, man.

[@237chase]

Nice finds and all that bag for 20 bucks with a lot of good titles awesome.

[@J0NNYJETSET]

I have a boxed and sealed copy of Final Fantasy Legend II and everyday I want to open it more and more...but I can't. It's a pretty nice piece to have on display!

[@Tailzy26]

a friend of mine still has his big ol game boy, he still has a few of his games too.

[@4dchessplayer516]

"Konami is a badass company" fast forward to 3 1/2 years and that opinion could not be further from what they were. I just found that funny. Time is a cruel thing.

[@randygelion]

Chris Bling RIP Silent Hills, would've been a bitchin VR game.

[@BlueRise85]

did alpha get a new camera?

[@rodhomie]

I'm from Brazil, your channel is simply amazing, found you via the "psvita memory card rant", i believe is one of the best videos in your channels, i also laugh a lot watching the "real time events" video. Keep up the great work man

[@JuvenileWalrus]

I watch the whole thing, everytime. I can't explain it.

[@BleuSkiddew]

You must live next or in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh to get these decent finds at thrift stores. Local thrift stores in smaller cities don't have deals like that!

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

It does suck when you go to thrift stores and they jack the prices up through the roof. It's like what the shit? You got this donated to you....for free....

[@erickskaka]

how did you clean your nes ?? D:

[@jarjarbanks22]

Do you mind if I ask what you do for a living? That wall of games behind you isn't exactly cheap lol.

[@mauszx]

Do you think there would be some rare games of the new gen. I mean rare as strange not as the company. BTW I recently bougth Resonance of Fate and Eternal Sonata. Both JRPG. Have you played those, if the answer is yes what do you think about it?

[@jumshid]

I'm wondering if I should get the original Final Fantasy X on ps2 in sealed condition or get the PS3 remaster... remastered version will be better (should be) but you cant beat the original.

[@Videoman343]

Do you own a Super Gameboy for the SNES.

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

Nice Behemoth shirt man

[@HYPNOGLANCE87]

i think you'll love the games you've gotten alpha i used to have the games you've just shown off you'll enjoy radar missions its like battleship the board game but more fun

[@Pimpczar2011]

I remember back in the mid 90's going to Woolworths(now defunct)and me buying both "Star Wars" and "Empire Strikes Back"for under $20...fond memories.Too bad these long winded games lacked a password or battery back up memory feature...or even a stage select feature.

[@tigerwolfcast]

Password saves are evil of the worst kind.

[@tigerwolfcast]

Tiger/Wolf The worst game for this was Faxanadu for the NES. It took *forever* to write down that string of characters to get back to your "save" spot. If you made a typo -- tough luck, buddy.

[@invalidumozak]

have you ever downloaded any game from piratebay?

[@Gorlokk666]

wow you have cool thrift stores. The best I ever saw was a PS1 for like $10, but it had a sticker on pretty much saying "No cords, not tested, might be broken".

[@MONSEREVIL02]

what thriftstore was that ???

[@Lupucillo]

Hey Alpha, have you ever tried Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and Metroid 2: Return of Samus? Both are pretty underappreciated nowadays, even by Nintendo players, but they kick ass and bust stench trenches to craters.

[@MetalPatriot64]

Hey alpha! I'm jimi, a Die-Hard, Retro Gamer & Collector!! I own & play an NES, A Super NES, A Sega Genesis, A Sega Saturn w/ 5 in 1 cart (And I took apart & modded myself to play buned backups!), I actually have a few good Saturn imports as well-Vampire Savior, Samurai Showdown 4, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter & Marvel Vs. Street fighter! A Sega Dreamcast (w/ a DCX import boot disc) I own 3 import DC games-Guilty Gear X, Capcom Vs. SNK 2 & Vampire Chronicle! A Nintendo 64, a Slim PS2, & a GBA SP

[@Tailzy26]

I know a friend of mind found a teal Game Boy color with a copy of Pokemon Silver in it, with batteries. so full of awesome, he gave it to me!

[@xanaxkamikaze]

Do you have "SUPER Game Boy" ? It's a cartridge for SNES that you can plug in first generation Game Boy games and then play them on a TV!

[@NappaCarl]

My first gameboy was the gameboy color, it was this purple transperant gameboy. My first game on it was Pokemon Gold. I have to admit, even after buying a psp and a first generation DS, the gameboy color was my personal best handheld ever.

[@greencoman]

Hey AOS great find and awesome collection. I like the playstation and saturn collection of games you have pretty cool. Adorable kitty.

[@AngelusX92]

what do you do to afford all of these

[@jaysonwaterfalls]

wicked badass...? are you from new hampshire?

[@RE-LOOIE]

"Big fat, big fat Game Boy's. We're gigantic and eat lots of batteries!" WOW, if you and Metal Jesus ever recorded in a studio, that would be one heck of a Single. I'd say multi platinum records, my friend. :) Really excellent pickup for only $20, Alpha! You can NEVER go wrong with the Game Boy. Definitely one of my personal favorite hand-held systems no doubt!

[@classicgamehunter]

I hate changing batteries. lol. Nice pickups!

[@TheRadPlayer]

I swear, that when he pulled out the "Baseball" manual, i thought it said Daggerfall. I guess i have played too much of it as of late

[@BjerkeWestminister]

That Ninja Boy game is really hard to find, congrats on the sweet find.

[@RivieraKid34]

The Final Fantasy Legend series aren't actual "Final Fantasy" games. Since FF was so popular here in the US. They took the SaGa series games and labeled them FF.

[@ieatu871]

you shoud show your cds and have u ever played Acceleration of Suguri: X Edition ? its a good game

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I love the Arcade beat em up the best. Fuckin fun times there

[@MrStrongashtosh]

do you have a Super Gameboy or Gameboy advance player.

[@Darknessimmemorial]

Quote from Wikipedia about Spike Mcfang: The game follows the adventures of a young vampire, the title character Spike McFang, who is set to battle with the evil zombie general Von Hessler, who attempts to invade his parents' and his friend Camelia's kingdoms. The game plays from a top-down perspective; the player encounters several enemies in the game and by defeating them, can gain experience points and increase his level. Spike's main weapons are his cape, that attacks in a short range

[@vahnfish]

ive been on a gameboy spree lately. i was amazed when my donkey kong land 2 game save was still there. anyways, lucky find!

[@123stephenno]

Final fantasy legend II is my favorite game boy game. You should like it, especially since if you enter the cafe you can listen to the hole soundtrack for only 1 GP!

[@needler267]

Duck tales. I been dreaming of finding a secret stash of the old comics. You have good taste. Maybe when can do some trades for doubles in the future.

[@BlueRise85]

i have had the same link cable since i was 5 years old, ahh, the memories.

[@MAR10BR0SMAST3R]

Great finds! Can't go wrong with a large bundle of Game Boy stuff for $20.00

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Guess you didn't watch the other 10 videos XD Ya know people do buy stuff that may not have ever played before. Shocking I know

[@AspieGamer1986]

I loved the Original GAMEBOY back in the early 90's.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

lucky find AOS, and since you can get the DS boxes and cases you got a bag of complete games :)

[@mireaux7]

7:56 that is one of my fave GB carts of all time. ..many h8 that game, but its badass to me...wear your headphones while playing it and it pulls you into the game.

[@Xprentas]

Hah, you got the manual for that WWF game but not the game itself?
