What a good channel ! Great presentation keeping it interesting throughout. I’ll be watching in 25
@@Runnyplays Thanks very much, appreciate that. All the best for 25👍
A couple of Switch games that were under $30USD, Octopath Traveler II, and Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince.
Its great when you can find good games you want a good prices. Thanks for watching 👍
Top collection my friend 👍
Thanks a lot Gull 👍
Lol any top 100 is going to be rubbish, different strokes for different strokes at least you realise this, they'll be some folk who will see it as gospel, that toaplan collection with sky shark and the NEs port is the reason why i called it the nevercade its BS, money for old rope and you can just get any "pi based machine" and do all that and more with proper arcade ports.
Exactly, you can't make something like that and it be right for anybody, I think it was made up by an algorithm...lol I know you're not going to be jumping on board the Evercade train but there's some genuinely good stuff on it but I get your argument Putting NES ports on an arcade collection is mighty stupid though 🤣👍
Always a regret but u can only know later I guess
Exactly, you can always rectify these mistakes which is the good thing 👍
Wow 25 Years and to have it is fantastic
I know right, it's been quite a wait🤣👍
Cool Games here 👍
Yes, a few good ones and a few not quite so good🤣👍
Great gifts James hope you had a good christmas .and have a good new year 😀😀
Thanks Chris, hope you did too and all the best for 2025👍
Hope you had a nice chrimbo James. Those top 100’s are so subjective aren’t they; that said, there were some odd choices on the poster! You’re in for a treat with Zelda and Mario Wonder. I need to grab Mario vs Dk (keep meaning to as loved the original on GBA). Haha, it was 10 pence arcade that also prompted me to also look into the IGS collection 😄. I’ve never played demon front and the guys made it sound epic!! All the best.
Good thanks Ed, hope you did too Yes those lists are very generic with something to appeal to everyone while not really being suitable for anyone, just a throw away gift idea aren't they really Yes I'm sure Zelda and Mario Wonder will both be fantastic, I just need the time to play them🤣 I really like the other versions of Mario Vs DK, think I will like it even more now as I'm really loving single screen games more than ever Yes, the chaps did make Demon Front sound fantastic I agree, I tried it on emulation and thought it was great so pleased to have it physically and another 7 games to try aswell into the bargain 🤣 All the best for 25 Ed, hopefully bump into you somewhere during the year👍
I thought a fair few of those top 100 games were mint, I like modern as much as I like retro though! Some more lovely additions for the switch there mate, quite a few classic titles!
Yes I'm sure plenty people would find lots of there they like, it's a very general list I think really Really pleased with the additions, I just need time to try them all🤣👍
Nice additions mate. The cowboys of moomesa has a cartoon and toy line. The toys are quite spenny
Thanks mate, didn't know that, I'd never heard of it until I read up on the game, must be rare then👍
8bitdo hv recently released a bluetooth receiver for the Saturn! Great to use the M30 controller on the Saturn.
Mate my daughters got me toaplan 3 turned up yesterday🎉🎉🎉same with my retrocade it has nes versions? Arcade should be arcade? The switch games are ace but I got the mrs a switch got house of the dead opened the box and all it had was a code in it?
Fantastic, it's a blooming awesome collection mate, glad you got one Exactly though, arcade should mean arcade only Code in a box for Switch is so annoying isn't , I mean what's the point of an empty box, may aswell buy digital hadn't you and save the plastic 🤣👍
@ 😂it’s ridiculous and the switch cards are tiny as it is😂 Ay evercade alpha is back in Argos 🥴😵💫😵💫
@KingMikie1 exactly 🤣 I'm definitely getting an Alpha when got the money, which one is the big question 🤔
@ gotta be the mega man for artwork
@KingMikie1 definitely agree 100%... I don't like Megaman is my sticking point 🤔🤣
Great Christmas gifts, you've done well, must have been a good lad this year 🤣 Moomesa I remember people after the pcb when I used to frequent arcade forums, never played it or heard of it myself before that. Love that speccy, makes a lot of sense, as soon as they make a version of the ultimate 8 bit micro I'm in 🤣 There's some good games on that poster that didn't make your top 16 but I'd definitely agree I'm not sure they should be in the top 100, things like the ps3 batman games are brill, probably nowhere near enough genre starting games that set the mould etc but then if I made a top 100 you'd agree with the majority but most people wouldn't under the age of 30 🤣 I bought the Mai Shiranui neo geo cd pad but only for the snk slash mai shiranui subset shrine, they are supposed to be pretty poor as Kev said, still nice to have a dabble with though, see what you think sticks and controllers are a very personal thing, I remember someone saying those street fighter x tekken pads are trash when I mentioned id played the game using one and I walked through the game. OK it is really easy but I didn't think the controller was too bad. Your a retro import gamer, please adhere to the name and stop buying pal modern ie that switch taito milestones pack, swap them all to Japanese please 😂 Loving the big box switch editions 🤣 I'm not bothered about the second neo pocket collection, definitely still after the igs pack though in 2025, I'm not a big switch buyer tbh, tends to be just games not out on other systems. Looking forward to the room tour, hoping the shrines areas are still around and not some new pallet racking now in the place, gamesroom tour please, not games warehouse storage tour ftw 🤣🤣🤣
That Cow game was a real surprise to me, I'd never heard of it before stumbling across it, think it's great, shame they didn't port it to anything, I bet a PCB is a small fortune these days I wonder if they will do a CPC mini next, just depends if the half dozen people who would buy them is enough to justify the production run🤣 Think you're right about controllers, very much personal taste, these aren't great by the sounds of things but will give it a go, I might well be good enough for a codger like me🤣 Yes, I apologise, I most definitely should be selling more pal games to be buying the superior import versions🤣 There have been a few changes to the room so should be a bit to see that's different, the most important shrine is obviously still there, I'm just waiting to add the deluxe sit down cab to finish off the set🤣👍
The room tour is going to be mint, long job though waffling through all that speccy tat, definitely time stamp the vid so I can skip that bit 🤣🤣🤣 Well I'm looking forward to the day you add the deluxe outrun into the setup, a decade ago it wouldn't have been particularly tricky either, such a shame, reckon I had at five goes tops on mine 🤣🤣 seriously, I had to strip it down to get it in, then the base section is ridiculously heavy, by the time I'd got it inside I was selling that particular building so sold it in pieces rather than rebuilding it 🤣🤣£1100, I don't think you'd be able to buy a outrun midi upright for that now, but that was prices then, big cabs nobody wanted, they were a hard sell.
My number would be higher for that 100 list but Quest 64 😂 sounds like you had a good Christmas 😊
Quest 64🤣... exactly, what were they thinking, I'm sure it's just a generic list with a wide range on it to have something to appeal to everyone Great thanks, hope yours was good and all the best for 25 👍
It looks like it was great Christmas, James! 😃👌👍 as always, great scores 👏👌👍 it's weird to see so much switch here 😂 but totally understandable on the rationale about easy-to-buy modern stuff for others to get. The evercade carts are fantastic! I'm still gutted about Toaplan 3, I probably will be until I get it 🙁 I was really looking forward to fixeight, outzone, and tatsujin 2... Cool switch stuff. Crisis wing is weird. I wasn't impressed when I tried it on switch, I knew about it before I played it, but couldn't get into it, until I played ot on ps4, and I found it much more enjoyable, weird?! I really want the Igs collection, but I remember being gutted at reviews saying that the emulation is terrible 🙁 I can cope with incorrect aspect ratios, but what really put me off was delayed inputs/lag... I did have the chance to get it fairly cheap, but missed it, now, of course, it's ebay prices. I really wanted it for Demon front and Martial masters. Anyways, great stuff, as always! looking forward to the updated room tour. 😃👌👍
Can't complain at all really Stu😁 Shame about the IGS collection if that's true, I will give it a blast and find out I guess, I don't have any of the games anyway so if I can play them it's a step forward anyway really It's something with the controls which don't seem quite right to me on Crisis Wing, really like the game though, I'm sure Tatsujin was their inspiration I've tried the Toaplan carts now, have to say they are both fantastic, there isn't a bad game on either one There have been quite a few changes to the room over the year really, I like doing a yearly one for my own record really to see how the room changes when I look back 👍
Indeed!,😃👌👍 yeah, ultimately, you have to decide for yourself whether it's acceptable or not. I don't usually go off of comments and reviews, but they seemed like consistent complaints, as well as terrible sound. All things that could be sorted with a patch, i have no idea if any if these issues were fixed. It's been out quite a while now? but yeah, having the games at all is better than not. 🤔 I'm not sure I noticed it unless I just "got used used to it" which is possible... Cool! I am at least looking forward to trying out all the other Toaplan carts in the meantime. Very annoying to miss out on the best one, though! 🤦 Yeah, I'm sure! it's ice to have a record of its various incarnations... I look forward to seeing the latest. 🙂👍
This was super inspiring, thank you for sharing! big thumbs
Thanks a lot, have a great 2025. Thanks for watching 👍
I remember Cowboys cartoon as I watched it back in the day. That’s some sweet pick ups dude and hope you had a Great Christmas
It passed me by but bet it was good, the game is great Great thanks mate, hope you did, all the best for 25👍
@ it was a good one if I remember correctly. All the best for 2025
Merry Christmas and seasons greetings, James! 🎄Yeah, that's an interesting top 100 with some notable omissions and curious inclusions....I appreciate it's subjective though and they're likely deliberately going for a number of different genres to please a broad church of people which I suppose makes sense. Some nice Switch additions there and a couple that I wasn't aware of, too. Mario vs Donkey Kong and GetsuFumaDen are games that I've been considering for a while and Taito Milestones 3 is actually in my Amazon cart, probably a sign I should buy it 🤣
Merry Christmas to you Alex. It's certainly a bizarre list, makes me wonder if it was compiled by a computer, sure it's just generic with some to cover all bases on it, much like you said Pleased with the Switch additions, I'm getting to the end of my retro lists so can see my buying a few more Switch going forward A few people have said Getsufumaden isn't great actually so maybe don't rush out for that one but Taito Milestones is a no brainer I'd say All the best for 25 mate👍
Thats games list 😂 I tried and tried to get a copy of tosplan 3 james buddy but I couldn't find one anywhere it was always out of stock and still is now 🤦🤣 i want it mainly for outzone lol you got some absolutely brilliant stuff there bud, I keep forgetting about that getfunhfhfdddhdd game 😂😂 glad you got to chill out on boxing day, bet it was hard work on Christmas day bud. Hooe your chilling and relaxing through to New year now 😄🎅🕹🍺👊
Couldn't believe it Steve, some of the stuff missing off it is crazy 🤣 I kept checking the Funstock site a couple of times a day for Toaplan 3 mate as thought they might get it back in as Amazon had told me I'd get mine on the 21st before they cancelled it, it's a belter of a cart mate, hope you can find one Yes, we've never done the entertaining before, was so much work and didn't really recover until yesterday and there was loads of preparation for it as well 🤣 All good though and not planning on doing much now Hope you have a great new year mate👍
I had a game getting toeplan 3 as well for evercade only just got it a very popular cartridge it kept selling out
You're not wrong, it's a nightmare to get hold of, I can understand it though it's possibly the best ever cart and if it ever goes legacy it will probably be worth a fortune 👍
Played cowboys, great fun. Played most of the games on the poster, as with you, most wouldn't be on my list. Santa fetched me the spectrum also 😁. Nice switch bundle, I've got zelda also.
Top game, I agree, I'd never heard of it🤣 I think that list was made by an algorithm 🤣 Gonna try the Speccy today, gotta get with the 21st century 🤣 Hope you're not working too hard mate👍
That list is a weird selection mate I can understand a fair few but some of them 🤣 football manager and FIFA 🤷 toaplan evercade games are always great. Nice to see new additions to the switch taito milestone and irem 2 look good but I still have never tried a Zelda game. Hope your Christmas was good and see you soon in the new year 🙂👍
It sure is mate, I think they included games from every possible genre to please everyone and put lots of random stuff down while missing off classics Both those Toaplan carts are fantastic Glen, tried them both now Zelda is a funny one for me, some I've tried and loved and others I can't get on with All the best for 25 mate👍
Great video dude. I hope you had a great Xmas mate and I look forward to your 2025 vids 👍
Thanks a lot mate. All the best to you for 2025 👍
Class Christmas jumper pal - excellent stuff from Santa as well ☘️☘️
Thanks mate, I was quite pleased when I found it👍😁
Lovely vid mate. A merry Christmas and all that. The fact that 100 games of all time didn't even reach Z for...mmm let's see...Zelda? I was expecting a Link to the Past. Nothing. Terrible. Never mind. Here's to a great 2025 🤙
Thanks mate and thanks for commenting Yes, there were certainly more than a few games you'd say should be on there, it seems it's just a generic list to include something that anyone with a vague relationship with games could find a favourite on All the best for 25 to you too👍
Mate, I'm 51 years old, older than you and I just don't understand how someone could call themselves a gamer, yet gatekeep by saying anything coming after 1990 isn't a good game or deserves to be on that list? What?? Batman Arkham Asylum, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic you hold your nose up at?? Minecraft? Why do you scoff at Minecraft? It's literally digital legos and engenders so much creativity and critical thinking and construct skills for children. It is actually "healthy" for them and the science is there to back it. I wager if Minecraft came out in 1984 you'd be saying it's a GOAT. I just don't understand it. This video (and many others of yours) is anagalous to trying to claim you're a cinephile and saying the only good movies were from the Classical Hollywood era; and films like The Godfather, Jaws, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Raging Bull, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Pulp Fiction and Infinity War are all crap because they didn't come out before 1960. It's one thing to collect retro, but to only play retro and scoff at the rest, I just don't get what the hate is for when these are great works of art created by passionate people under grueling working conditions and doing it for the love of it and not money. My friend, you are missing out on so much amazing video game art, that I am sincerely sorry for you. I hope one day you reconsider. Imagine saying Forbidden Planet is the only good Sci-Fi movie and everything after is rubbish never having seen Star Wars or 2001 and refusing to do so. That's you with gaming going by your videos and I'm so bummed for you. I get that you may say that it's only your opinion, and I apologize for showing any lack of grace. But your tone and demeanor when reading the list of scoffing at or being dismissive of some absolute masterpieces that not only have you not played, but seem to refuse to play, I couldn't hold back any longer. You and Tooty are not even 50 yet. Listen to your "elders" when I tell you to stop thinking and acting like you need a walker when you still have a lot of youth left in you. Stop being dismissive of modern gaming, music or art. Thinking like that is how you get arthritis faster, end up in with a walker before the body is ready or needed. I learned this watching my parents. My Mom is one month younger than my father and she acts and moves 25yrs younger than him because she stays positive, isn't addicted to anger or negativity the way my father is. My Mom had breast cancer over ten years ago. It still has not come back. My Dad just had his 5th tumor removal and it keeps coming back. Because he's always bitching about how things are worse now and that's his mood. Listen to your elders when I tell you: Don't fall for that mental trap. Or snap yourself out of it while you still can. I challenge you to go buy a used PS5, play Astrobot and tell me it's crap. That's a video I want to see. If you play these games and don't like them, that's one thing. But you're being dismissive of games you haven't tried (seemingly) If it's a learning curve issue with those type of games, give yourself more time and patience to adapt to them. I mean, I just don't get it. I'm older than you and Tooty and watching you guys, especially, makes me feel old. 😜 Good thing I watch these videos to study the accents. If I actually believed what was said in them I'd have to up my anti-depression meds. 😅 Even though I highly disagree, I'm still a sub and still going to keep watching. 😉
I think you make some excellent points in there mate and we are in fact the same age as it happens I freely admit I am very dismissive of modern games, they are genuinely not for me in the most part There are exceptions of course and some are fantastic, I have Astro Bot on PS4 VR and think that's fantastic, I'm sure I would also love the new PS5 version, I've heard only good things of it and whenever I get around to buying a PS5 that would be the first game I would buy, there is just nothing else on it I want to play at the moment so am not buying a console for one game, I'm quite happy to wait Most modern (and by that I mean PS2 onwards) games just do not appeal to me, I don't like 3D games in the most part, never have even when they were new and I had to have the latest thing I also hate realism in games, which the vast majority of games are outside of Nintendo 1st party games I hate dark moody colour palettes, I want games to be bright and overly colourful and not accurate representations of a real world I'm not saying modern stuff is rubbish, I'm sure it's great if it appeals, it's just not for me and I make no apologies for that, it would be a boring old world if we all liked the same things after all I also hate story driven games and things that take ages to get started, again, it's not for me but understand many love that I'm sure if I'd played Minecraft in the 80's as a kid I might well have loved it but it's not something I'd ever want to play now, I've seen enough of my nephew's playing that to last me a lifetime, it's great for kids definitely I 100% agree about your health point and your outlook on life affecting your health, I've lost a wife to cancer and absolutely agree outlook on things like that are extremely important and effective In fact, since my wife died, it totally changed me as a person and made me much more focused on what is actually important, concentrate on what I do love and not waste any time on things I don't appreciate Thanks for the great comments 👍
@ I am totally picking up what you’re putting down. And for the record, I’m not really a fan of Minecraft either. I never was into Lego’s as a kid 😜
The new Spectrum looks really cool.....and practical 👌 I liked a load more of that 100 games poster....you miserable old sod😂😂
Definitely, who's got the time to wait for loading these days....I haven't got time to waste🤣 Oh yes....I am quite miserable 🤣👍
Fantastic pickups James Dead connection I picked up in my last video and Demon front I played for the podcast. Demon front is amazing and dead connection is fun too. I’ve not got the Irem volume 2 yet but it looks really good. Favourite games played in 2024 was Demon front Merry Christmas mate
Thanks Alex, I remembered it was you who brought my attention to Demon Front, that's great Thanks for telling me it was you who played Dead Connection, I knew I'd seen someone play it🤣 Looking forward to try Irem 2, hopefully it's as good as it looks High praise indeed for Demon Front.... certainly not Spelunker then🤣 Hope you had a great Christmas mate 👍
the 8bitdo neocd pad is absolutely woeful to use. it has false inputs and has a larger travel distance so makes fighters (most of the neo software lol) unuseable. the neo cd pad and the pad 2 from sony are both incredible and im very picky lol all the people who review them say its good but watch actual pro players for fighting games rip it to shreads as it isnt accurate at all. its good for the price tho for sure. mine was used for 10 mins before being dumped on the shelf lol
you can 3d print extenders to improve the travel distance to make it better to you tho so thats a bonus
Oh dear, it sounds a bit rubbish by all accounts then🤣 At least I didn't spend my own money on it🤣 I will give it a try when the Bluetooth adapter turns up anyway and by the sounds of it, it will go straight back in the box like yours 🤦👍
@@retroimportgamer513 it isnt the worst pad ever its just nowhere near the cd pad at all. give it to player 2 for an easy win lol
Another great pickup/Xmas gifts their. Nice to see classic Konami in the background. They were my favourite company back in the day. A happy new year to you and your family
Yes I was really pleased with what Santa left me, should keep me entertained for ages. I agree, Konami really were masters back in the 80's & 90's Thanks a lot, all the best for 2025 to you aswell 👍
Zero Christmas gaming gifts here at Kaylied Towers James, not even for the missus choice Switch. Roll on 2025 🤖🎉 ... or should that be wishing a roll back 1995 🕹️📺😅. Take it easy mate 😎👍
Oh no, that's a shame, but then if you have all you want, guess it's best to get stuff you do😁 Oh yes, if we could roll back to 95 that would be awesome mate🤣 All the best for 25 Daz 👍
Same from us here to you and yours James - best wishes mate 🎉😎👍@@retroimportgamer513
For me the switch is the retro console of choice. Christmas retro game of 2024 for me is under defeat closely followed the arcade archives release viper phase 1.
A pair of slippers are a must for Under Defeat at this time of year !😅
🤣
I agree, it's fantastic for retro. I've only played Under Defeat a bit and although I like it, I find it awkward to get used to Viper Phase on the other hand...that's amazing, so pleased they put that up for download 👌👍
@@TheKayliedGamerChannel-RUclips someone had a liquid lunch
Some very nice adds James. I can see where they were going with that best all time games list, they were clearly covering multiple generations of gamers with different genres and not forgetting the PC users too. I didn't think the list was too bad all things considered. I do think it's wild that you loved BOTW but passed on Red Dead Redemption even though BOTW is a far more longwinded game 😂. That Getsufumaden release also comes with the og famicom game which I personally really like. The new game is alright but I feel it lacks the charm of the original. The IGS collection is superb. The only game it's missing is Oriental Legend 2, that's a really good beat em up. The series is centered around the Monkey King. Martial Masters is a really good fighter as well, if you like your kung fu films you'll appreciate a lot of the characters. Knuckle Bash is a really fun beat em up. It's a bit weird in the 'Cho Aniki' kind of way 😂.
Thanks Rob, I'm really looking forward to trying the IGS collection, especially after your warm praise for it, sounds like it has some great games on it and Demon Front is great A couple have mentioned Getsufumaden is not the greatest, maybe the Famicom game is the way to go then, maybe I will leave that one sealed for a while🤣 Yes I can see that that list would appeal to many and it's obviously a very general list so it might appeal to anyone as clearly aimed as a gift My tunnel of vision for stuff I like is just very narrow🤣 Sure I would probably like Red Dead if I ever had the time to get into it, I've always fancied it as I like the Western setting. I amazed myself how much I loved BOTW, not the kind of thing I would usually play at all but for some reason it hooked me and loved it, I couldn't get on with TOTK at all🤣 All the best for the new year mate👍
Too many Spectrums you mate 🤣Evercade has had a strong year tbh,opened a 8bitdo the other day and not receiver inside when it should have 🤷🏼way to long to return🤣Do you tend to buy for Switch rather than ps4 ? If on both,i got demon front on IGS,awesome game Great items once again dude 👊🏻
Did Santa turn up?🧑🎄
Think he got stopped at customs, he should have dumped the Sleigh and taken a Dinghy 😂🤠✌️
You will love the spectrum matey and it does make it a lot easier, I’m still collecting cassettes👍😎🍺. I still haven’t had my toaplan 3 delivered yet I best check on it🥺, I’ve got the toaplan 4. I’ve still not got Mario wonder😂 there’s too much out there😂. Crisis wing I’ve been looking a it on play-asia looks decent👍. Great gifts there matey, set you up for the whole of 2025😂. I’ve got getsufudeken how ever you spell it, yes the box is awful size and I don’t like the game😂 maybe just me. Glad you had a good Christmas👍🍺😎🎄.
I'm sure I will mate, looking forward to firing it up and playing the classics with no loading🤣 Toaplan 3 is fantastic mate, had a quick blast on that now, hope yours turns up I agree, far too much out there, I haven't got enough time left to play it all🤣 Crisis Wing is great, especially if you like Truxton, it's so similar in style I'm chuffed with all the stuff I got. A few have said Getsufumaden is not brilliant so not going to rush to play that just yet🤣 All the best for 25 mate👍
Wherever will you find a copy of FIFA? 🤷
I'm sure @TootyUK could sort out a couple of FIFA's from his X360 CEX trade box ;-)
I'd rather play Fortnite 🤣
I know right, it's such a rare gem of a game, got more chance of meeting Elvis in Asda 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed watching, Glad you got their in the end. I loved Elemental Master on the megadrive, great music. The flight title looked ok. Hope you had a nice Christmas day.
Thanks, I really didn't think I was going to get it done and thought I'd broken it for good🤣 Thankfully it was worth it in the end Thanks a lot, hope you had a great Christmas too👍
That pack seems a bit dissapointing, especially for the price. They are fairly expensive for what they are. That update sounds like such a faff! I'm exactly the same with that stuff, I guarantee, I'm more shockingly bad with tech stuff than you! I've avoided doing anything like that so far. 😄🤷🤦 In fact, I still haven't even cracked my egret mini out of the box yet. It's about 6 months 🙁🤷🤦😄
I really was disappointed when I first tried it but the more I played the games the more I liked it, it's definitely not a stellar collection but some good stuff on it and a couple of stinkers🤣 I genuinely thought I'd broke the console when it wouldn't work, such a pain, why on earth isn't the update on the game card when it's compulsory to do it for it to work 🤷 Really think the Egret is fantastic mate, got some fantastic games on it👍
I can imagine, mate! on the initial disappointment, and the panic of thinking you'd buggered the console up! I can see some of the games would grow on you in time, and some of those super scaler types did look pretty cool! Nice one for rolling your sleeves up and conquering the tech issue! you're a braver man than me! 😄😄👌👍🙌 On being lazy with getting consoles out of the packaging, I still haven't tried the evercade yet either 🤦 I'm gutted that the toaplan 3 collection has been delayed here for some reason? 🙁
@J0nst12 I've had loads of trouble getting Toaplan 3 aswell, I pre ordered it off Amazon weeks before it came out, they never got it to me on release, then said I was getting it last week, then cancelled the order Gutted as you can't seem to get it anywhere, wasted my time going to Game then Gunstock got it back in stock Christmas Eve so I jumped on it even though they wanted £5 delivery Hoping it arrives tomorrow 🤞
Yeah, same. preordered on Amazon ages ago. 🙁 It's pretty annoying, especially as they got Toaplan 4 out with no problems?!... I was really looking forward to the stuff on 3. I can't be bothered with the hassle of trying to track it down elsewhere and pay more. I guess I'll have to be patient on this one. It's not a problem, really, as I still have to use Limited run & Slg! 😂
@J0nst12 oh dear, you have my sympathy there, I point blank refuse to use all those type of companies but hear the stories about them😭 Toaplan 4 came no problem the same for me, they also couldn't get my Tate grip to me either and cancelled that too I would order all off Funstock but hate the fact they take your money up front, don't agree with that business practice at all
Nice one James, definitely a wacky mix of obscure items- that Telstar is something I have never heard of or seen before, super cool. Hope you are having a great Christmas buddy 😉👍
Cheers Rodgy, I do like buying obscure stuff nobody else is interested in 🤣 Thanks mate, hope you managed to have an enjoyable Christmas mate 🎄👍
@ They are great to see for sure! Yeah, made the best of it, it’s been good 👍 All the best for 2025 buddy 😉
@RetroHulkster pleased to hear it mate Cheers, all the best to you for a good one in 2025👍
I can see Rumba Lumber being an addictive one; a clever premise for a game. Top landing really does come across like the concord sim in krypton factor 😂; I think I’d enjoy it! Have a great Christmas mate.
I really wasn't keen when I first tried it but now I think it's great to be honest, not played anything else like it Top Landing is such a strange arcade game but I really do like it and the closest I will ever get to being on the Krypton Factor🤣 Hope you had a great Christmas mate 🎄👍
Love a switch sale ❤
Can't beat it can you👍
gg deals
Some bargains 👍
Happy crimbo pal 🎉 mate all that downloading and sad card bizniz is a nightmare 😂 galactic storm looks brilliant 👌👌👌
Merry Christmas mate, hope you're having a good one 🎄 Was doing my head in mate but somehow I sorted it🤣 Galactic Storm is great 👍
@ 😂😂🙌🙌🙌
Absolutely fantastic buddy and Merry Christmas I've been meaning to watch this video for ages. Absolutely loved that big triangle thing😂 . The Nintendo switch games were awesome and a lot of those other others from Japan I never heard of and I loved the neo Geo game at the end
Cheers Oli, it was a bit long this one so thanks for watching That Telstar triangle is such a cool bit of history Hope you and the family have a great Christmas mate 🎄👍
I would've probably started hitting it mate, my temper soon takes over 😂. Huge fan of Mr do, Top landing was bonkers, not what you usually see in an arcade, although it's probably one I would play a lot. Vaguely recall playing aqua jack. Not heard of any of the others, although the last space invaders looked fun. Merry Christmas mate, hope your already half cut 😂🍷🍸🍻.
I was tempted 🤣 Mr Do is great isn't it Top Landing is nothing like an arcade game but it's good man, far more at my pace🤣 Hope you're not at work watching this today, hope you have a good one mate, Merry Christmas 🎄
@@retroimportgamer513 yeah I'm working, tomorrow also 😞
@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533 that's rubbish mate, hope you've got your feet up on the job at least🤣
@@retroimportgamer513 always 🤣
@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533 Legend 🤣👏
I've had the Egret mini since it came out. I pop it open every year when they release these game packs and play it for a week or two and back in storage it goes. I'm hoping for a Vol 4 next year with Chase HQ
It's great isn't it, I haven't used mine loads but slightly more than that🤣 I agree, it would be fantastic to see Chase HQ put on the next one along with S.C.I and Ray Tracers maybe👍
I haven’t seen these before but I’m always a fan of games getting re-releases/collections so they don’t become lost to time!
I agree, it's a great idea, whatever way you can play these old and lost to time games is fine with me 👍
I’m the same with Firmware updates. I hate doing them, but sometimes needs must. I did one for my RetroTink4k the other day and was nervous, but it was all good.
Fill me with dread mate, can't understand why the update isn't on the Vol.3 card itself when it's compulsory to use it anyway Thank goodness I managed to muddle through it 🤣👍
