Retro, love the video as always. I work full time and spent all of my resale profits to keep a roof over my families head. All I have left is a stupid ridiculous VHS collection at about 3000 individual titles and about 1000 books. All in storage and not able to be enjoyed. Watching your videos keeps my love of the hunt alive in the rough patch I'm in with my hobbies. Thank you my dude. Thank you. I do still find pick ups "for my son" though.
I had that Amazing Robot Kit when I was a kid like 20+ years ago. It sat on the shelf because i thought my parents were trying to trick me into playing with educational toys instead of being on my GameBoy all the time. Well, one day, my batteries died and I couldn't catch 'em all anymore, so i pulled this down and had an absolute blast with it. I took it to school and showed all my friends all the cool robots I had made, and the next week, everybody came into school with some sort of D.I.Y robot kit!# Made for some awesome memories that I thought I had lost until this vid gave me the ultimate blast from the past! Thankyou so much, this is why I watch your nostalgic content
I've always wondered how Retro Rick stayed cool and kept perspiration at bay while cruisin' through Goodwill and the antique mall. Thank goodness for this episode for revealing the secret, now I can smell like Retro Rick.
I had the Chipmunks Christmas Vinyl as a kid. I remember my parents playing it for me every Christmas. You always bring back some childhood memory for me. Great video as always.
First of all, thanks for all the videos. You are part of my weekend ritual (not satanic or anything, just watching YT while drinking my morning coffee) :D Secondly, there's already a bunch of comments about this, but I didn't see one that painted the whole picture, so here it is: Computer Space (1971) - First Video Arcade Game Released (because there were mechanical arcade before that) Magnavox Odyssey (1972) - First Video Game Home Console Released Atari Pong Arcade (1972) - Was inspired by the Odyssey ... There's a few other home console that plays like the Atari-Pong Arcade in 1974 --- Finally, in 1974, Atari would release their Arcade Hit (Pong) as a home console. They did stroke a deal with Sears which released the Pong console you have under the Tele-Game brand in 1974. Due to production problems, the Atari-branded version (the one you have) was released in 1975. But anyway, Pong was, in my opinion, as important as the Magnavox Odyssey and it is an amazing piece of video game history. Congrats on your find!
Since I’m a tad bit older than you, my father bought one of those Pong home consoles. I remember us sitting around the tv playing. The novelty wore off pretty quick though since gameplay was limited but still fond memories all around. Enjoy the channel.
Hey retro! i noticed that in one of your videos you found some Thomas and friends VHS tapes but didn't pick them up, but you should have because they are going for about $200 each.
I had a bunch of favorite PC games lol CounterStrike, Crusader, Unreal tournament, Backyard football, Rollercoaster tycoon, Empire Earth, Cossacks European wars, American Conquest, The Sims,
Dude! To find history while out hunting is amazing! I would of grabbed that as well just because finding it again would be nearly impossible. Great score!
"My favourite game on computer was Megarace. Nobody ever talks about that." My brother and I literally carried on a conversation for about 20 minutes about that game a month ago. Man, Lance Boyle was a gem.
There was a deluxe toy set of Indian in the cupboard, I had it as a kid, it came with Boone the cowboy on his horse, Tommy the army medic, the key and Little Bear.
Favorite computer game - Wrath of the Gods. It was for Windows 94 and was an educational point and click adventure game based on Greek Mythology. So good......
That is actually the first gaming home console that was brought out by sears back in the 70s. That's what started the gaming craze before the atari console was released
I actually found a copy of the Indian in the Cupboard VHS sealed at our local thrift store years ago and it had the figure and key. I bought it of course and I still have it in my collection to this day!
Great video, my favorite pickup that you got is the Atari Pong. It's one of the first to what started it all in video games that and the Magnovox Odyssey . Great video man, and keep up the awesome work! :)
about the Shriek glasses from McDonald's "i don't recall those" don't know if that was meant to be a pun because McDonald's did put out a recall on those lol
I LOVED the Myst games! I loved all of the exploring, having to think to solve puzzles, etc. They were just really laid back games, in my opinion. I also loved Duke Nukem 3D and also used the editor they had and designed a bunch of my own levels.
That gi joe beach head figure 12 months ago was selling for $70+, after target summer geek out released more of those figures in June or July they dropped to $19.99
Those spices are actually really good even though I don't agree with the name on them but I do buy them from a flea market I go to and I bought quite a few of them and gave them out to family and friends for Christmas presents
Around 7:30 I saw some Thor motocross pants. I ride and those pants brand new are over $100. Possible flip next when you return in another 4 months lol. Depending on price and condition of course
Favorite thing that you picked up- definitely the Atari Pong system. I remember the table top arcade game in the Pizza Inn restaurant here in Dallas Texas. Wasn't too much longer that the 2600 system was released and the first game was Pong. My favorite PC Game was lode runner.
In order to connect a ps5 to a crt you need a converter that converts hdmi the signal that the crt needs some crts need an hdmi to av converter some need that and a av to coaxial converter
A couple months ago, a gooodwill a couple towns over actually got that exact Pong except it had all the cables. They wanted $50 for it. I miss the days of goodwill being a thrift store, not an ebay store :(
@@maartenn2217 That's for tested ones. There was no way to test it at the Goodwill and 'for parts' ones were going for under $50. $50 was too much of a risk for an untested system.
@@maartenn2217 Not when I looked them up. It was only the tested ones going for a buck fifty. If the as-is were going for that, I would have scarfed it up =D
My maaaaan, I used to rock Megarace 2 so much on my old gateway 2000 my father bought me a wheel at one point. BEST CHRISTMAS Ever Also, you got caught slippin on vice city!
Mega Race came with my Packard Bell computer back in the day. I loved it. No one ever talks about it. I also really loved Gahan Wilson's the Ultimate Haunted House.
Retro always coming with the 🔥🔥🔥content. I always enjoy seeing what cool things he comes across. That pong console is really cool. Great find Tommy. The man always finds some great items. I appreciate you taking me on this journey of nostalgia. I always enjoy those video inserts. Classic retro Rick. Looking for forward to the next video
@@retrorick it had to have been early to mid 90’s. I was in high school when i bought the 7th guest and Cyberia at Babbage. I still have theses in my game room and I think the Strike Commander game forever had an error when loading one of the last missions. Never got to finish the game.
I see you come across the batman mugs all the time, I lost all mine yrs ago when my storage got robbed. If you get a full set I would live to purchase them from you. Love the videos keep up the great work
Saw that same Dilbert candy dispenser at my local Godwill this past Tuesday in the toy section. Caught my eye then, but I didn’t get it and now I want it 😔
The Odyssey is to be said to be the very first video console. 1972. It was the Pong game. I always thought it would have been a japanese one to be the first one. The TV Games.
Just subscribed. Been watching your vids all week while conquering COVID. I'm a nostalgia collector too. Mostly sports cards, but I love handheld games. From what I've watched so far there are 2 of my favorites I haven't seen. Do you have the PSP and Gameboy Micro in your collection?

The first video game was actually Tennis for Two launched on October 18, 1958, exactly 27 years before the North American launch of the NES.
It's true about the Titanic VHS it's not a real flea market to me till I see Titanic and Star Wars episodes one on VHS

I straight up bought my Dad that exact Dilbert candy dispenser for fathers day when I was a kid. HAHAH Crazy memory unlocked!
My dad loved Dilbert I remember watching the animated series with him on UPN
no friggin way..that is wild!!!!
@@donovanbradford8231 i loved the series
Oh man, the poster for 1984’s tv series “partners in crime” with Linda Carter and Loni Anderson, in the back ground @ 22:45, so unexpected.
ha i totally missed it!

@@manupkp ive seen that a couple times in the comments...thanks for the info!
Man, Gone Fishing takes me back to sleepovers at my friend's where we would watch it all the time.
those were the days...take me back!
Tommy is such a legend. He needs to be in more videos.
Caught that Tommy “Catherine, zeta JO-OOONES” from workaholics 😂. She dips beneath the la-sers.
My favorite pick ups were the Dilbert candy dispenser and Toy Story book.
Retro, the cassette tape holder you had as a child growing up ( 19:00 min mark) actually are great for Sega genesis game storage (loose carts)👍.
oh dang...thats an amazing idea!
As a tech person, I'm offended at the 18:53 mark! The image shown was a 5.25" floppy disk and not a 3.5" floppy :D
Facts
haha i blame the editor for adding that...throwing him under the bus! 😂
I actually found a copy of the Indian in the Cupboard VHS sealed at our local thrift store years ago and it had the figure and key. I bought it of course and I still have it in my collection to this day!
oh wow...yeah we never see them all together!
At 5:47 Just totally flips the Titanic Movies Hahaha !! Like Who Cares lol.

Great video Brother. Love that flea market. Pong has a lot of super duper memories for Me. Thanks for sharing 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯
The groundhog edit was *chef’s kiss*
hahaha
The first video game was Computer Space (1971), Pong didn't come out until a year later and was certainly the first culturally important video game.
Isn't it Tennis for Two, which is basically Pong?
nice...thanks for the heads up!
@@retrorick check out the arcade cabinet for Computer Space. It's a thing that could've existed only in the 70s!
Great video, my favorite pickup that you got is the Atari Pong. It's one of the first to what started it all in video games that and the Magnovox Odyssey . Great video man, and keep up the awesome work! :)
Love ya retro, keep the vids coming. I loved your hook video on your church RUclips channel. Very informative and enlightening.

I had that version of pong in a clubhouse when I was a kid... it was old then... and that was like in the 90's
oh very cool man!
I like you check out Barbie stuff as well. The Atari Pong also well done. Now you need to find a Magnavox Odyssey.
I hope to start finding some of these classic consoles that started it all!
I had a few favorite PC games. Strike Commander, X-Wing, 7th Guest, and Cyberia. I just recently found Cyberia for the PS1.
great list! About what year were those games out?
