‘Mine are better’, thats Lita matey! she was my childhood crush 🙈😂
😂😂😂
She’s not wrong thou 😅
@@roadrunnermjp Didn’t say she was 😋😏
Those wwe raw magazines are definitely the type you’d have to hide from parents
As a York local I’ve visited sore thumbs hundreds of times, it’s a great little shop, Lee and Liam have so much gaming knowledge. I’ve recorded a couple of times in there and I must admit you were lucky it wasn’t busy. It’s a nightmare with the shop been so small. Great video
According to some retro store owners, the shoplifting rate in such stores is very high, which explains the sometimes higher prices compared to online retail. Sometimes they even become victims of large-scale nighttime robberies in which the entire stock gets stolen and some rare games are just lost forever 😪
Not in the UK, maybe in the US that could be true
@@JimBob-vg2og Why not? There are plenty of criminals around, and retro is as big business here as anywhere.
I am one of those malefactors, I'm currently sitting on 15,000 physical games, I would make a RUclips on them but that would be too risky, not to mention STUPID
Yes!! Discovered Sore Thumbs about 4-5 years ago and now every time I visit York it's never compete without a quick trip. The back area look a lot neater than my last trip.
Was a mess when I went
@@sandman8920 indeed, the back area looked like a car boot sale. Just stuff everywhere, although thinking back it was part of the charm, looking to find treasure.
We travel down from Scotland to York for holidays every year. That's the first stop for my son and myself. Lee and Liam are both awesome. Great knowledge of the games. Still to get a big hitter award though
I live 30 minutes from York and never knew that this shop even existed! I'm going now sat. Gemma you visit a ton of shops, you should do a video of all the shops you've been to and where they are in one video. Like a compilation if you like. Do wonders for the shops and the retro scene. I'm always looking for shops to visit. Great video, thanks Gemma
You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy.
A lot of owners tell me that they get LOADS of people in after my videos. I’m happy to help
Yep, that's why I thought it might be a good idea if you did a video on the shops on a map type thing with a little footage. I discovered James shop in Doncaster because I'd watched your video. I'm now a regular there, love the place. Finding shops is the hard part
Yeah I had someone do a RUclips video about an epic retro game store, come to find out it was a 4 minute drive from my place O_O lol
So bought some stuff there to support the local retro stores.
Wow, that's one epic shop! I've been following them on Facebook for a while but haven't had the chance to visit there. I'll be sure to pop in there when I get the chance. Great Video, Gem :)
Good to see some 3do. Ultimate gaming experience. WORD UP !!!
I thought I recognised the city walls at the start. I live close to there but never realised it existed,will have to have a visit soon
We also say "The City" but never Frisco or San Fran.
Road rash!!! 😂😂😂
Man I wish I had the money for that streets of rage 3.. 😮
I think it was £140. It’s a pricey game all around ❤
Look at the state of it! Do you remember M.U.S.C.L.E Men?
Great shop, cheers Gemma. Just saw on TV tonight 'Strictly' had a Super Mario dance routine (worth a look at the 2min video) it was fun at least:)
Ah made up you covered Sore Thumbs! I loved it there. I really need to go back.
Hello Gebs, just letting you know on how much I've enjoyed watching your video today & I must say that retro game store looks so amazing & there's so much more variety of different games including PS1, PS2, Sega Megadrive, SNES, Gameboy, Lots of toys & so on, The one that caught my attention was the Super Nintendo console which I rememberd owning one since I was a kid, Thanks for posting this video❤️😊👍👍🎮🕹🎮🕹
Glad you enjoyed it Jason. I appreciate this
@TheGebs24
It's a pleasure, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed my comments below, I'm new on your channel😊
California Games is one of it's own kind, it caught me by surprise when I played it for the Sega Genesis how fun it was, winning felt rewarding cause it was a challegning game, great Gen-X memories, the colors and graphics were also pleasing for the time period, it really made us East Coast kids want to head out to the West Coast for the beach life. OMG and Zombies ate my Neighbors is a gem I love that game and pray one day someone remakes it
I visited this shop all the time when I come to York as it’s not to far where I live glad you like it :)
Brilliant store, had a look in here last year, will be back when I'm in York next weekend!
Great store sore thumbs but there online website is really bad needs updating big time. I prefer the retro shop doorway to dorkness.
I really enjoy these videos of you visiting game stores!
Holy shit that California Games box brought back memories 😊 totally forgot about that on the nes
awesome video gemma!!!!!!!!
YOU RE FAN TAS TIC
YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN TV SHOW ON CHANNEL 4
or something like that
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've never been to York. However I have bought from Sore Thumbs at the Bristol Gaming Market in 2018 and 2019 - not been one since.
We definitely need a regular market down here in Wessex.
3:54 This is the first video i watched on your channel, don't know who you are, or what you are about, other then beeing in to retro gaming, so.. This is quite the introduction xD Retro gaming is amazing i agree..
Kiss psycho circus is good , but not enough variety !!!
Sore thumb is great I've been many times I once got Mega Man Legends 2 there for £50
Niiiice
You got a hell of a deal with that Kiss Psycho Circus!
I think that you're so cool and thanks for the content
As a kid manuals were awesome, on hols buy games HAVE WAIT TILL HOME PLAY....Read manuals numerous times lol😂
This 👍👍👍
Yours are better still remember the holiday video wow xx
I have street fighter 2 on the mega drive/Genesis.
great little shop , always pop in when in york as im not far away, and love the memories it brings whenever im in there
Nice shop, i bought a game form them at the donny retro market, they have alot of stuff right, id love to go but its almost 3hrs from me, Need to let me know when you goto these shops Gem so you can keep an eye out for games im after haha. Those Street fighters were really nice
Great shop, been in a few times. Never walk out empty handed. Unfortunately rather full handed sometimes! I saw you got a 'Big Hitter' award too!
wish i could live there
YOOOOOOO, I’ve been there 😎
What a shop! Spied a cartoon classics Amiga, awesome 👏
The problem with these retro stores is that they keep the good stuff for the retro markets and soar thumb in particular have most their games missing manual
12:30 I'm pretty big James Bond fan, so I might buy that box, if I ever get to England. Also, I've never played ZX Spectrum, so that would be new computer as well.
Tut tut! It's a computer not a console! :) Some great times on the Speccy growing up.
a 2:37 resident evil 3 y a 3:55 y legendary ♥️
I have that zelda leaflet. I think but dont quote me on it, that it was in with the snes console as advertising
Gemma find master blaster on the playstation 😊 you will love it. ❤😂
Interesting very very 🇷🇺👋🌹🌹🌹
Please come down to Essex. There are two amazing retro shops with so much goodness
What are the names of the some of the shops?
There is the retro giant in the town of romford and the retro Hunter in a town called southend on sea
got a feeling this maybe a 2 part video. Also that day there was a guy that had good taste in football shirts that knew a bit about games and pro wrestling. Wonder who that was?
No there’s no part 2.
Yeah he was a cool guy
That cool guy was me. Also I thought you would have included the title belt bit you did
Ps1 have got to be the worse cases. That weak little hinge system nearly always broke.
Sweet 👍
Thanks 👍
I wish the US had more stores like this
I watch tons of retro game videos on RUclips and I always think you chaps have more than us in blighty.
@@retrogamingmad I would very much like to know where these stores are at then. I've never seen one
@@Redneck_Hero watch metal jesus rocks or collector john or phoenix resale or doubke jump video games.They all seem to find them fella
Legacy of Kain Blood Omen voor the PS1 is also a awesome game too play.
I love playing the very first Mario and eating vegan cheese ...
You dont have to go to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate bridge. You can go to my country and in Lisbon we have one exactly like that.
RROOAADD RRAASSHH!!!! Love this shop, thanks for the vid Gem
Haha you saw it!!!! Good man 🖖🖖🖖🖖
But why didn't you buy it?
@@TheGebs24
Gemma I must say you're a kid inside a video game shop. 😊
Three games for £10 is a bargain.
A female game expert/collector. If you had sons you’d be the best mother ever
I went there once. I was kinda disappointed. And everything was a million pounds
so cool to see super sentai toys in the uk the japanese originals' usually have more painted details than the powr rangers verseions some dont get power rangers adaptations
Hey well spotted Ian ❤
Amiga CD must have been a Europe thing … I don’t know anyone that talks about it here. Now I was born in 94 but some of my older friends that were gamers were NES and Genesis. No pc engine maybe Atari.
Are you based in the U.S?
@@TheGebs24 yup 👍 across the pond where a mega drive is a Genesis.
@@Ultimategc13 Nice one. ☝️
Go trademein in leeds they have lots of retro games
Jess is so Beautiful love her to bits. Hey Gemma is your region free PS1 bought as a main system or has it been mod chipped I would love to be able to play NTSC on my PS1 or PS2 all my very best Simon from Bridlington UK is there any chance of a Signed photo of you and Jess pretty please I love your channel 👍👍❤️
i love street fighter
Jeff Bezos doesn't want to be a millionaire.
I bet he wants more millions though
Whoppers and games..Nice combo
I spied Mega Man Wily Wars😮This place looks really good. Agreed about Mega Drive cases. They are rock solid😂Great video as always Gemma Finally upgraded my sponsorship to Steak Dinner again by the way so I can enjoy these videos a day early😎
WELL SPOTTED Stealthy!! 🥷 Hey and welcome to the Steak Tier ❤️❤️🫶🫶🥇🥇
@@TheGebs24 Thank you mate😎
Hi @TheGebs24 I work for an university in France, and we have educationnal program based on retrogaming stuff. Hope you write back
