    I always love seeing what’s behind the scenes. Sometimes wild things come in and the store owners hold them in the back for a while. It’s always cool to see the rarer and more fun items!
    Love the super Mario bros wonder papers at the end. Those look like fun displays.
    Love the obscure items!

    The Mega SG shown as the first trade-in is worth its weight in gold, as far as I'm concerned. I've had one since 2019, and I believe it to be the absolute best way to play Genesis/Mega Drive games. You can also play Game Gear and other Sega cartridge/card-based games with adapters made by the same company (Analogue). There's also a converter that they sell which will allow you to use the Mega SG on a CRT, if that's your gaming preference.

    18:13 thats a 50 euro game - literally paid 60 (600 kr) euro for it at launch over psn store and regret not getting it physical. now the only stores selling it in sweden is charging 50+ the serie has made like 10 games, its a very well known serie with more games coming - in fact the latest came out last month in the west, and next sequel is coming next year and after that another is in development right now.

    Iv'e seen games change and seen gaming evolve.... I don't what is is about the 90's era, but the
    Mega CD
    CDi
    3DO
    Jaguar.... They were possibly some of the biggest failures and flops of all consoles... The games were very FMV heavy.
    But i love them lol..... I really did and still do.
    Psychic Detective, Night Trap, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Sewer Shark, Burn Cycle, 7th Guest, Cobra Command, AVP..... The games are amazing.
