Nice box Josh that Boo sticker is great always had a soft spot for the ole phantom Boos haha.⭐️👻🕹🍀

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks brother. I will admit the Boo sticker may have been the coolest thing in this box. 🤣

[@SquarePegs]

Not a bad month! Bummer that you didn't quite get to the full cost, but if you don't factor in shipping you were there. Is it weird that out of everything you got, the one I want to play the most is Chess?

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I was pretty happy with this one. VGM has been over so many times that when they are a little under it’s never a big deal. Nothing stellar but they did me right. I honestly look forward to these every month so much. It’s like opening up a birthday present that I paid for but don’t know what’s inside. 🤣

[@RetroRivals]

I think the most important thing at this point is that they're trying to get close to the value with what you have left on the systems you collect for. Also enjoying the surprise of it all and being able to share it with us is part of the fun. 3 more N64 games scratched off the list is always a good thing :)

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

That’s exactly what I think too. That’s why I worked it out with them to do it this way. I really wanted to use the service to keep helping me locate games for these two sets. Set chasing is probably dumb on a lot of levels but I have been doing these two and am gonna try and stay committed to it. The surprise factor is the best part of doing mystery boxes..I guess unless they are always bad. 🤣 VGM is solid though for me so I like getting them. 217/297 on the N64 now. Only a few more bucks to spend…at least that is what I am telling the wife. 🤫 Don’t tell…🤣

[@GamerAhmer]

Nice!! More N64 scores. Definitely moving along nicely!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Definitely getting there a little at a time. If I ever get off my butt I wanted to start doing a journey to completion series for theses two sets. 🤷‍♂️

[@retrobeliever]

Not a bad haul my friend! I love watching these and seeing what people get!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

The surprise factor is really what makes these fun. Plus they have been very helpful with finding games I don’t come across a lot for the sets I am chasing. 🍻🤙🏻

[@retrobeliever]

@@DrinkGameswithJoshexcellent my friend! 😎

[@playmooregames371]

Glad you didn’t end up with any duplicates. Thanks for sharing!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Me too dude. I have fun getting these every month. Glad they are working with me. Appreciate you watching Josh. 🍻

[@2-facedsolo119]

Nice box bro!! I love your VGM journey! tons of N64 goodness every month. Hope you enjoy your week brothaaa

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude! I am happy that I am still able to get VGM to work for me with these sets. The N64 snore is moving along slowly and surely. 🤣 My work week is finished and now a long weekend of Honey Do’s ahead of me. 🍻

[@BuzzsawGaming]

Never played or heard of any of those! Looks fun man! Cheers the beer looks good!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Nothing stellar this month but I do enjoy getting these boxes. Like a kid at Christmas. 🤣 The beer was clearly the Winner for the video though. Cheers! 🍻

[@brotherrespect1232]

Not a bad box! I played sooo much of that Chess! Great to see some fighters in there as well!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude. 🍻 Yeah man. Glad to have gotten three more that I didn’t have. I enjoy a good game of chess so this one was a nice grab. I am pretty terrible at fighters in general so I will just stick with Street Fighter II or maybe Marvel vs Capcom. 🤣 Still glad to have them for the complete set though. 🤙🏻

[@DoYouNerd]

Those goofy chess animations. lol Very cool to see some N64 additions, even with such a huge library!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Those chess animations were top tier entertainment back in the late 90’s. 🤣 I am glad they continue to work with me an d help add games to the set. 217/297 on the N64 right now. Just waiting for them to send me Worms Armageddon….😂

[@DoYouNerd]

@@DrinkGameswithJosh You heard him, VGM, Worms Armageddon--do it you cowards!!!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

@@DoYouNerd 🤣 Sounds like a challenge! @VGMyoukeepthegames

[@themanboycave122]

Those are some obscure 64 games. I’ve never heard of them.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Probably because even though I am happy to have them for the set, none of them are all that fun for me. 🤣

[@BlakesView]

Great box! I miss my VGM subscription but I need a larger house first!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Priorities my friend. 🤣 Glad to see you’re not as reckless as I am with your dough. 🍻🤙🏻

[@AngryDadGaming]

Definitely crazy that your connection is getting so large that even VGM is like, “…dude…there’s only so many games left that we can send you…” 😝

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Dude. There is nothing stopping them from sending those big money titles my way…Let’s go! 🍻

[@modernretrorenaissance2520]

I appreciate the Snake-Eyes with the Arashikage emblem shirt.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Always was a big Joe fan as a kid. Saw this shirt at my local comic shop and had to have it! 🤙🏻

[@TFLS]

Virtual Chess for the win! Great video.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

That was my pick of the bunch too…although what does that say about the selections. 😂 Very happy to have picked three up I don’t have. Cheers dude! 🍻

[@BlakRanger]

Definitely need to make sure I check out that brewery Not a bad box eventho it was a few dollars from what you paid. Always, and I do mean ALWAYS, nice to get games that aren't duplicates lol. I think I was able to add all 3 of those games a few months ago when the store near me was closing. Cheers🍻

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

You and VGV come up this way and we will hit some breweries dude! 🍻 Happy to have these for the collection. They got close enough on value to not complain but these are not very fun ones to be honest. 🤣

[@BlakRanger]

@@DrinkGameswithJosh that sounds look a good plan! Sucks that the games aren't that much fun, but they can always be used for trade for something better

[@retroimportgamer513]

Not a bad result this month, looked in good shape. Remember playing Fighters History back in the day and thinking it was decent 👍

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

As long as they are able to help send me games for the NES and N64 I don’t have I am happy. Nothing flashy this month though. Fighters Destiny is very interesting. I am not much of a fighting game fan because I stink at them. 🤣 But it has a different feel to it with how it bases the winner off of points from the match vs knockout. Kinda feels more like a tournament fighter.

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

I'm thinking maybe a brother took that Fighter's Destiny cart out of the system and beat his other brother with it a few time before returning it to the rental store that weekend. Nice box man!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

That’s totally a possibility. 🤣 I know when I would play multi player 64 back on the day more than a few arguments where had. 🤷‍♂️

[@8232Bittzz]

Looks like they're keeping true to their word. VGM to me was better at customer service. Not Geoff box, but still good. Maybe not the rarest of N64 games but deffinitely some uncommon N64 games. I know of the that Chess game but I've never actually seen one before. I'm digging that can art and beer. Have a great week bud. Cheers!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I do miss the Geoffbox…too bad that service was so short lived. VGM has been very good to me over the past 4 years. Their customer service is awesome and they have helped add a ton of great games to my collection. Glad to have gotten 3 that I didn’t have for the month. This brewery makes some great beer. They are located out in bum freak though. 🤣

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

Seems like a decent box this month!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Always happy to add ones I don’t have to the sets I am chasing. VGM is still fun to get every month for me. 🤙🏻

[@gamesgonenuts]

a couple cool fighting games this month this was awesome

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I am just happy to be able to keep adding games for the sets I am chasing through the service. It’s also a ton of fun getting random games every month. Like being a kid at Christmas. 🤣

[@raza_is_retro]

I picked up fighters destiny a while back for about 7 bucks its a decent game and has a unique concept. Dual heroes looking interesting as well some nice pick ups 😊😊

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I agree about Fighters Destiny. Not many games have really tried to do the tournament point system style. I think a newer game could make it work if they tried. 🤷‍♂️

[@CaptainAlgebra]

Some N64 love this month. I've only ever heard of Fighters Destiny. I do like playing chess so Virtual Chess would be the pick of the box for me, but I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

You are not in the minority here dude. 🤣 I like chess and generally am not to good at fighting games so that was my pick too. 🤙🏼 The animations are pretty hokey too so that makes it somewhat funny too.

[@miketendopower]

No duplicates is a plus. Are you still able to check these off the website list? I might need reconfigure my selections alot of them are a few away from the 200 mark.📦👾

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Definitely glad to still be able to get games I need for these sets. I haven’t been able to check off games on the website for either system now for awhile. Once I got near the 200 games point, at first I was sharing a google doc with them of what games I had and then after a couple months in a row where they kept sending me dupes. Initially they wanted me to add additional systems because NES and N64 were too big. I worked it out with them to share a new google doc that showed only the games I was missing for the systems instead of the games I had. So far it’s worked out. Currently at 217/296 for N64 and 526/677 for NES.

[@NerdLife84]

Pretty good box. I enjoy Fighter's Destiny quite a bit. Its very unique compared to other fighters, instead of fighting to get a k.o they go by a point system. You get a certain amount of points for certain things like knockdowns, ring outs and throwdowns. Whoever has the most points out of 2 or 3 rounds wins

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I would agree with you about Fighters Destiny being unique compared to most other fighters. Feels more like an tournament style than the traditional beat em til they are knocked out. 🤣 All in all a solid selection of games that I didn’t have and get to add them to the set. Hope your well and life is good my friend. 🤙🏻

[@tootyuk]

I like that different view mate, well 3 you dont have i suppose!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks man. I wanted to try a different angle. Need to figure out how to do it better. The desk helps a lot when showing off games or just holding my beer. 🤣 I am happy to get three more for the set. Nothing thrilling but a little closer to the finish line. 🍻

[@8BitGlitch79]

I have never heard or seen these N64 titles before, so that is cool. Maybe they will send me these titles as well soon.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

You and I are pretty much chasing the same thing so I hope they do send them your way. None are special but I am happy to have them. Love the old VGM box every month. Looking forward to seeing what you have been getting in these boxes lately dude. 🤙🏻

[@gallowaygaming75]

Fighters destiny and dual heroes look interesting titles buddy not to sure on the chess game though as never learned how to play. The beer has really got me in the mood for a drink just finished work so definitely picking up some cans 🤣👍

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Hope you enjoyed a few cold cans my friend! 🍻 I love a good game of chess so the chess game is a nice change of pace. The fighters are nothing special but they are both a bit different so worth trying out. I will stick with some Marvel vs Capcom or Street Fighter though. 🤣

[@mtshark7]

Nice unboxing Josh!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude! Always appreciate you checking these out buddy. 🤙🏻

[@pappabeargaming]

Grapefruit looks nothing like grapes, but it sure tastes delicious. I’d love to try that one of the days. Value is decent but, not sure the fun factor is there.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Oh yeah dude! This beer is fantastic! If you enjoy IPA with a little citrusy flavor you would really enjoy this one. I agree with you completely about these games. I am very happy to have them for the collection but nothing really stands out this month as the clear winner. I do like chess though so this one does have a little fun. 🍻

[@TheGameroomAwakens]

All 'battle' style games. 😁👍

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Yep. 🤣 I do enjoy a round of chess here and there so happy to have gotten that one. Glad to add three more towards the N64 set that I didn’t have. 🤙🏻

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Never heard of Dual Heros

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Probably for good reason…🤣

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

Can't wait To see you play that N64 chess game on A CRT Saturday matinee episode 😂

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I m sure that will be even more exciting than watching the foam disappear on my empty beer glass. 🤣

[@Owazrim]

3 more games down for the N64. Score. I'm sure the is some fun to be had with at least one of the games.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Stoked to have gotten 3 more for the set. Honestly I do enjoy Chess so the Virtual Chess 64 game is probably my pick of the bunch. For fighting games though I have much better options available than these two. 🤣

[@Gold2thGaming]

You ain’t joking you need more watch time 😂good to see some fighters in the box 🍻

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

You are not the only one that KZbin won’t through a bone. Maybe we should throw the bone to them? 🤣 Fighter heavy for sure this month. Good to have them but if I want to play a fighter I will go with Street Fighter II or Marvel vs Capcom 2. Cheers brother! 🍻

[@Gold2thGaming]

@@DrinkGameswithJosh We will throw them a gerfy bone with pleasure 😛

[@gullpayne]

Those badges are class josh 👍

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Haha! Thanks dude! Hope all is well with you. 🤙🏼

[@matcam89]

A nice N64 box there always great to add to that collection what are you up to now?

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Happy to keep adding to the set. VGM is always a lot of fun for me. I am sitting at 217/297 not counting any of the variant carts. Still have some money to spend. 🤣

[@9ElevenGamer]

Fighters History's one I heard a lot about back when I had a 64 but never actually got round to trying out, hope it's a good un, and you get some fun out of it mate. Have any of the beers you've grabbed in the past ever had you utterly wasted or had some unforeseen side effects like hallucinations, or steroid type rage? I recall drinking some shit in a night club once that sent me a bit wacko but I swear some A-hole had spiked my pint, other than that just the good old room spinning effect, which I personally love!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Fighters History is different from most fighting games that I have played. Point system instead of KO for the win. I am more partial to classic Street Fighter or even maybe Marvel vs Capcom. I can’t say I have ever had any beer make me hallucinate. Been pissed drunk, blacked out passed out before many a time though. 🤣 Sounds like someone one was trying to knock you out to take you home. Gotta watch them crafty old milfs! 🤙🏼

[@davidb69]

I don’t know if I would have made a deal with them in terms of value over quantity, I generally get quantity and quality at this point of my snes and n64 games . I have none of those titles but I’d probably lean most towards virtual chess as a thinking person’s game even though I suck at it, it’s still fun. 3 more n64 games , where are you at on the total for n64? It’s gotta be getting up there

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Honestly the biggest reason I worked something out with them is because they wanted me to add more systems and I really wanted to keep using the service to help me source games for the NES and N64 sets. If I added systems I knew that I wouldn’t get games for these two systems anymore and even a great system like Genesis or SNES would have so many shovelware and other games that I don’t want. I know I wouldn’t have been happy. I am happier getting less games but higher value games for these two systems versus more games for other systems that I am not chasing. Currently I am at 217/297 on the N64 set and 526/678 on the NES set. For me all three are good pulls since I didn’t have them. Virtual Chess is probably my pick of them though because I do enjoy the game. Thanks for the comment and watching David. Hope you are well my friend. 🤙🏻

[@davidb69]

@@DrinkGameswithJosh holy cow, I had no idea how close you were on, with both systems, that totally makes a lot more sense , it’s why I was asking to try to make sense of it

[@bananonymouslastname5693]

Well, you know what they say... one man's trash is another man's trash to put on a shelf. VGM sucks.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Luckily for me there is still plenty of trash I need for my shelf! Thanks for the watch. 🍻🤙🏼
