If you paused it and zoomed in, the MASSIVE majority of those games were old terrible sports games… literally have to give those damn things away. The store probably bought a bulk collection that had a ton of them
@@MetalJesusRocks Are you a Seattle Kraken fan? I´m from Brazil and a NHL fanatical, love the jerseys and the videogames, i recommend the NHL Hitz series.
Retro city games is the best store I’ve been to in years. Glad you checked them out. I think I almost spent 2 hours in there. Shoutout to Antonio and Doug.
Fun fact they weren't sure If Nintendo would pursue legal action If they used the actual Power Glove In Freddys Dead. They decided to do it regardless and Nintendo never had a problem with it. Freddy even holds it up and says "now I'm playing with power!"
Everything looks better from afar. Look up the storm drain tunnels under the strip where the homeless junkies reside, just underneath the ivory towers where the rich gamble millions in high stakes games.
I live in Vegas and follow Retro City Games’ page on FB, and saw their $1 sidewalk sale last Thanksgiving weekend. Crazy to think that if I had went at the right time, I could’ve met MJR. Was planning to go last Saturday afternoon. Great vid as always, fun to see all the local stores I’ve frequented talked about so highly. Also thanks for the tip on AGP possibly liquidizing next year, may make for some great pick ups.
The MJR channel is simply a win for everyone. He travels makes some extra income and enjoys his life out collecting. We are all watching and learning. And the mom n pop shops are getting exposure they may have never have had without his reach. MJR is nothing short of a legend. Rock on Brother, love from Tampa 🌴🙏🤘🤘
This is such a coincidence I just finished binge-watching your playlist of your game hunting travels living vicariously through them wishing I could travel
A Gamers Paradise is one of my favourite places to go to in Vegas. Sad to hear that the owner might liquidate the store if he’s unable to find a buyer😢 I hope it stays open because that store is freakin’ awesome!!
I love your gaming videos, but these travel vlogs you do are truly quality. Better than some of the people that only make travel vlogs honestly. Especially going to cool places I've been to like Vegas or even cooler places I want to eventually visit like Japan! Keep up the good work man!
Hey! That's where I live! We do have a surprising amount of retro games here. We also have 2 Zia Records, which I'm actually heading to today! There's also Wii Play Games which I haven't been to in a while. Your room was amazing! Palazzo is a beautiful hotel. Thanks for covering the Pinball Hall of Fame, that's really a gem and we almost lost it when they moved into their new location. They did a fundraiser to complete construction and keep it open, that would have been a huge loss. Another weird thing people don't talk about much is we do have a swap meet called Broad Acres in North Las Vegas, that place is a super fun time!
I always love these traveling video game hunting videos. Hopefully we continue to see more of them. I live vicariously through you in that regard. :D Thanks MJR!
I've been a fan of the retro gaming scene for years, and I subscribe to just about all of the most popular retro games channels, but I still get excited when I see a new Metal Jesus Rocks video has been posted! Here's hoping you're still posting videos well into the 2050s - and beyond!
4:59 YESSS seeing the mighty Mega Duck on your channel is amazing...It was indeed made in Hong Kong and first sold here in the Netherlands and also in Brazil but under the name "Cougar Boy". It released in 1993 and there are only 36 games for it.
I live in Vegas and frequent both retro city game stores. I couldn't agree more with your assessment. The first store has the more rare stuff. Both stores are awesome and the owner is really nice.
Love your videos! Recently got into speedrunning and I want to do more og stuff like PS1 & PS2. Seeing your hidden gems videos helps me find games that I would never thought of getting or knew existed otherwise!
Hi Jason, thanks for sharing these video game hunting trips with us, I really like them. To be honest with you, I'm a bit jealous of the retro gaming scene in the US. Back in Montréal, Canada, it's very difficult to find retro gaming stuff. We have a few stores, pawn shops and flea markets and that about it. My wife think that your wife is very patient during these trips...
These videos are great love seeing the travelling and searching for retro games. I stayed at the Golden Nugget of Fremont back in 2013,had the best time. Like the BTTF reference as well
I used to live out in Vegas back in 2015. The Pinball Hall of Fame used to be in a small building on Tropicana, east of the Las Vegas Blvd strip. I love how the handicapped parking spaces looked like a wheelchair popping a wheelie while on fire. So glad that they moved to such an amazing location where they can truly show their Legendary collection!
Thanks for the ideas! I was thinking recently that the next time I go to Vegas (I live maybe 1 1/2 hours away) I should check out a video game store for the first time- now I know which ones to visit! Great finds. They look fun (and yes, Hellsing is awesome).
I don't play video games, haven't since I was a kid, but love this dude's videos. Seems like a solid dude. More of a punk than metal guy, but cheers to you my man
@@MetalJesusRocks Haha! Awesome brother! Maybe BOB or some Murder the Government? Although I do get down with Pantera and Slayer! Anyway Thanks for bringing a non gamer into your world! Appreciate it
definitely miss vegas! I was visiting my aunt who lived there about a decade ago, and on the way we'd happened to pass by the PHOF's original location, so I definitely had to make sure I stopped by there at least once while I was visiting.... haven't been to the new location but the original one was definitely jam-packed with a good mix of new stuff, the classics, and damn near any pinball game you can think of, it was wild!! maybe someday i'll be able to take the wife to the new location so crossing my fingers! there was a game store near it's old location although IDK if its still there now.
My jaw was dropped to the floor for the entire duration of the “A Gamers Paradise”. I cannot believe that store, if someone described it to me I wouldn’t have believed them until they showed me a video lol!! Absolutely breathtaking. I cannot believe he’ll piece off the inventory if someone doesn’t purchase the store. Insane. But we in America are headed for tough times and he could be making a wise choice. We won’t have a lot of spare cash for retro games in the coming years…
Wish we had stores like this in Australia you are all lucky MJ. Was waiting for my weekly fix of Metal Jesus thank you once again for your documented time in Vegas very cool!!!! Some wild stuff that you saw is nuts !!!
I was at that Retro City Games store in the outdoor mall just before the world fell apart. Got some nice games for my collection from there although there was not near as much stuff when I was there.
Vegas is one of my favorite places! I love Retro City games and Red Rock Canyon is really fun to hike! I got to witness some desert snow there a few years back. Living vicariously through you with this video. Loved it!
Feels like so long since I've been to Vegas but it hasn't been that long in the scheme of things. Enjoyed your video game hunting adventures and just seeing some familiar sights and retro games - some gems in there for sure. Always enjoy your videos - keep 'em coming and keep rockin' dude!
Aww man. You were in my city! I would've suggested a ton of other hidden gems like WiiPlayGames, Game Nest, Zia Records, Charleston Antique Mall (usually hit/miss but you can see everything from creepy dolls from estate sales and the occasional treasure trove of classic games) and others!
The screen at Fremont Street is called Viva Vision and opened in 1995. It actually went through an upgrade a couple years ago when you were here. Looks way better now. Glad you had fun out here!
I really enjoy these videos where you visit stores across America. Being from Scotland we have nothing that compares to this so I thoroughly enjoyed the content, thank you MJR & your wife for filiming...🙏👏🎮
@@dhoyft411 I can’t get the link to work, but if you look up “1995-Christmas Grand Opening Special-Las Vegas Fremont Street Experience” you can see most of the first video. It’s old style now but still impressive for 26 years ago!
Would have loved seeing you digging thru the $1 games at Retro City Games. Even as a separate video. The mega duck and the watara supervision are tightly related to each other, even thou games have different no. of pins. Great road trip with awesome shops! Cheers, Tobi
Keep this up MJR, love that you show scenery and enjoying life besides gaming. Honestly, hope this is a continuing theme for your channel. Better to get outta the game room and do it like this. it's like a band touring the states, hope you can visit all 50 states and game hunt, that would be a nice bucket list item. I think a map in your game room with thumbtacks on each state/city you visited thus far would be awesome. 🤘🏻
True, but there’s a LOT of police ( uniformed and plainclothes) and the casinos each have their own security. Not to mention that there are security cameras EVERYWHERE!!!
If you dont have yet, pickup a game called Return of the Obra Dinn. You can call it a adventure mix with puzzle. Short information about the game: The player is dispatched to the ghost ship to perform an appraisal, reconstruct the events of the voyage, and determine the fates of all sixty souls aboard, providing a cause of death for those deceased or a probable current location for those presumed living. Greetings from Sweden //Fredrik
i used to collect for the gamecom and that looked like a near complete collection. It only had 21 games total. only one i didnt see was Henry and lights out but it could have been a packed in with the two consoles.
a gamers paradise ive had my eye on the authorize repair center sign and n64 kiosk for a few years but its not for sale :P i knew that sign on your thumb nail that you went to gamers paradise lol.
I guess I just don't understand when collectors get tired of their collections. I can understand not wanting to collect anymore, but why liquidate everything and split up something you worked on for so long?
I'll guess your younger. I can tell you first hand you know that feeling you get when you get something new..when your older you'll probably get that same feeling when you get rid of stuff lol. Now I still have collections I have no plans on selling yet but. Assuming that will come someday top
It's pretty common to lose interest in things, and if you've found something else you're passionate in and need money for it, it's pretty tempting to liquidate the old hobby. I've done this a few times in the past and have regretted it every single time. The old hobby always comes calling.
Wow. The El Cortez is still open. My friend's parents used to stay there a lot years ago. Been there once, kinda scary 😆. Btw, how awesome to have that power glove with Robert Englund signature. How much was that?
In what you should know about the pinball Hall of Fame is that all the the money made minus expenses goes towards different charities they're not a profit organization
A Gamer's Paradise is always an absolute must stop every time I visit Vegas, I'm so bummed to hear that the owner is selling it! I hope someone is able to pick it up and keep the location open. There's also a cool vintage toy store on Freemont Street called Toy Shack. They have a small handful of games there, I was able to pick up Wolverine on the NES; terrible game, but I needed it for my collection. Come to the retro stores in San Diego sometime!
That pinball museum is great idea, we really need more arcade place like this just to hang out, play and have fun with either your family, friend or by yourself.
random but I saw your health updates and think it's really great you're making a huge effort to take care of yourself and be a part of normalizing that - sometimes us gamers need that lol
I will be in Las Vegas in January as I'm attending the annual Shot Show convention and I will definitely check the spots you mentioned! They look absolutely amazing!
Great video 👍 the stuff with you guys walking around and exploring was a nice addition to the retro game hunt. I see you played the KISS pinball machine I'm not a pinball fan much either nor am I really a KISS fan but I would've played that machine for sure. It looked like maybe the first KISS pinball out and that's pretty cool 😎 KISS had so many things aside from albums and tickets they sold and the pinball machine was a pretty big one from what I've heard. Take it easy Jesus 🤘😈
You should seriously dedicate a full month or something to the PS2, MJR. I’ve been binging videos of it lately and the amount of views even smaller channels can get as soon they mention the PS2 is pretty insane. There’s so many people that has great memories and massive nostalgia for this console right now and I feel like it’s completely underexposed and untapped by content creators.
next time youre in Oregon head to Next Level Pinball museum in Hillsboro. it has the 2nd largest pinball collection in the world! plus lots of unique cabinets. totally worth it
Oh man, those places had so many great games! I also recently picked up the Zelda Game & Watch. Although I'd have liked the DX version of Link's Awakening (or the option to play either version) its still really cool, especially as it includes a version of one of my favourite Game & Watch games with Vermin!
Damn, the $1 collection in front is amazing. Regardless how common the games are. You barely ever see any retro games below $5.
Have a store here in Colorado with 2 dollar Bluerays, xbox one , 360 and psp games

There’s so many people that has great memories and massive nostalgia for this console right now and I feel like it’s completely underexposed and untapped by content creators.
That Pinball Museum looks totally cool. There is a pinball/video game arcade in my town I have been going to for 35 years.
My wife and I are visiting vegas this weekend and will be hitting these game stores up! I'm excited!
Wow those canyons are GORGEOUS
next time youre in Oregon head to Next Level Pinball museum in Hillsboro. it has the 2nd largest pinball collection in the world! plus lots of unique cabinets. totally worth it
Love you mjr!! Long time subscriber. Awesome video
I appreciate it!
@@MetalJesusRocks you replied! I feel like I met a celebrity :)
That sidewalk sale....wow
Oh man, those places had so many great games! I also recently picked up the Zelda Game & Watch. Although I'd have liked the DX version of Link's Awakening (or the option to play either version) its still really cool, especially as it includes a version of one of my favourite Game & Watch games with Vermin!
I brought quite a few rare systems from retro city games one was the jaguar CD and many other items
