Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video Ed and thank you for the very kind words at the start, I really appreciate it. Lovely copy of Street Fighter 2 😍 and what a nice thing for Retro Import Gamer to do fair play 👏🏼 great video, and have a great week 🫡
an absolute pleasure Tony. I was really grateful you nominated me mate. Absolutely love your content and can't believe it took me so long to find it (I'll blame that on YT haha). James is a top bloke and I was blown away by that gesture. Thanks mate! Have a great one too.
Enjoyed that! I love Gargoyles Quest, brilliant game, took me a while to beat it too, some of the bosses have really tricky patterns! I don't think I've ever owned any games that I wouldn't sell :D
Thanks mate! What a cracking game GQ is! I've bought some stinkers over time or titles I suspect I won't replay; wrongly or rightly I have a periodic sort out. Typically any money made is ploughed straight back into the collection haha. Cheers for watching and for the comment
Great video Ed and some great games too. Moreover I loved the memories you have attached for each. Especially the Master System (what can I say, its my favourite). So nice how James realised you had bought his copy of Aerial Assault and refunded you. Enjoyed the story about that copy of Tetris too. I'll have to look this up and study now 😂
Cheers Oli - a bit of a mix on the go and definitely the nostalgia / memories driving the selection. Incredibly kind of James - we have an awesome community of fab people we really do. Haha , get googling on Tengen Tetris :0). Thanks as always mate!
I came for Horrace goes skiing and stayed for the stories. :) I got Horrace with my speccy along with the Hobbit, Chequered Flag, Survival. Happy days.
Cheers Vaughan! Some great choices there matey. I never would have known at the time but clearly Survival was a form of early rpg. I’ll have to play some Hobbit. I remember seeing it loads in those advert magazines that came with newspapers where you got 3 games for a cheapo price but were then committed to buy full price games until the end of eternity 😄. I really wanted to play it!
“Got every bloody dog biscuit you can find” 😂 love it! Great topic Ed! A real eclectic group of games here! I can see the sentimental value they have though. Very fascinating!
Haha, my son is way more of a completionist than me :0). I would have happily left those biscuits alone haha. Cheers so much for watching Bill. Hope you're well mate.
Ah, gold cliff is great fun!! Cheers so much for the comment. Just subbed to your channel; a new one to me and the content looks right up my street. Thank you; AMC has been a godsend to me and a little mention at the start of my vids is the least I could do 👍 Have a fab weekend. Thanks again.
Good stuff Ed. I know exactly what you mean about Paw Patrol.....there's a few shall we say less good games I've played with Tommy when he was little that I cherish 😂
Great range there mate. Love the Game and Watch, I've never been able to come across them at a price and condition where I'd be comfortable paying. What a legend sending it to you for free from his ebay sales. I do fancy picking up a few of the Tetris variants, it is such a classic game.
Hey Craig. thanks mate! they are getting harder to get at a semi decent price. I got lucky last year with a 2 player boxing G&W; I think the lady (original owner of it) realised I was a genuinely geeky gamer and sold it for near to nothing. Most in shops near 3 figures if unboxed and the LCD is often faded. James is a ruddy legend. I was made up when I realised what had happened. Have a great week mate.
Cheers Josh, and definitely agree with that. It's how we relate to, and our experience of these games is what I enjoy most when watching YT. Have a fab weekend mate :0).
Great choices as expected matey.. never seen that Cliff handheld game before.. looks a good one.. I used to have the orange dual screen Donkey Kong Game and watch .. super fun items 😎👍
Cheers mate! Very kind indeed. Gold Cliff is a fun one; has aged pretty well. Wow, love some DK game and watch; my folks never allowed me to take toys into school (boo 😒) but a few playground chums brought their games in. I’m sure someone had DK Have a fab weekend Marcus!
Excellent selection mate, horrace makes another appearance! Love the handhelds and great to see them in the top 10, theyre often overlooked in peoples top 10s and i bet there are loads of people who spent hours and hours playing them as kids. Have a good week mate!
Hey Dan! Hope you're well. Haha, the cheeky horrace; gotta love him. Ah, thanks mate. I've a few of them now and albeit they cost too much in batteries I do dig playing them from time to time. Thanks so much, you too pal!
That was a great list Ed, really enjoyed listening to your reasoning. When I got the tag I was thinking it was to do a response (I think this question is tough🤣) but no, I'd forgotten about that, more than welcome mate👊 Did start out thinking this question is just your favourite games but after listening to you, maybe not actually 🤔👍
Again, thanks so much for that game mate! A really nice gesture, thank you. Mate, you're very welcome to get involved!!!!! In fact I insist on a VR :0). I reflected on it for a few days and realised that albeit some overlap there were a few titles that definitely aren't my faves #ImaBarbieGirl ;0). Cheers James.
As always a great watch Ed, Tony keeps coming up with cool topics for discussion… definitely some lovely items there and some surprising ones Barbie but, I do understand why 🤪 Lovely gesture from James. 😉👍
Cheers mate! He really does doesn't he. Looking forward to hearing about peoples picks for this one. Yep, wanted to mix up from a top 10 games so looked at it from a different angle. Ah, what a top bloke he is. Couldn't believe it! Small world. Hope all is well mate.
@@RetroEdUK yeah it is something I might have a go at myself sometime…have been giving thoughts to further thinning out the collection in hope of focussing more on the cart based stuff I hold most nostalgia for…will see if I get time. 👍
Come on Barbie let's go party Is the only game worth keeping 😂 Just kidding 😂 I have PAW Patrol On a roll And it was also the first game my kids finished when they were younger, A nice simple short easy platformer Although I do regret paying full price for it 😂 But they were really into poor patrol at the time, James Retro import is an absolute legend , Fantastic video Ed , Some cracking games there
haha, it's likely the only game I'll be able to play in a few years when my reactions are even worse that at present. Yes, you're in the Paw Patrol too :0). I was stung too mate. Fortunately finn loved it but boy was it repetitive; and no Mayor Humdinger to fight as a boss. They missed a trick lol. James did me a solid; a fantastic guy he really is. Cheers so much as always Marc! Hope you're having a goodun mate.
Cheers mate! I think Tony did it as a live stream. Will be on his channel still but under the Live heading. Ah, retro import James is a ruddy legend. Have a nice weekend mate!
Nice video dude, it was interesting to hear why you wanted to keep these games. Couple of peculiar choices there, but some real classics too! Cheers man! 👍🐵
Hey mate!! Thanks so much for checking out the vid. Some oddities for sure, mainly driven by the memories n' nostalgia. Thanks again and moreover, I hope you're keeping well buddy.
It's a goodun! I've grown to love it more and more over the years; definitely a lot crammed in for a gameboy title. Let me know how you find it mate if you have the chance to play. Cheers mate!
Cheers so much for watching and for the comment. If it wasn’t for the family memories with paw patrol it would likely be out the window 😄. Thanks again and enjoy the weekend. Chat again soon 👍
Haha, in that case I'm gonna change my mind, sell my barbie game, and get one of what you have! Ping me the link when you have a chance ;0). Cheers mate, have a goodun,
I'm just trying to think if I've ever played that Horace does skiing. Sounds familiar. If i have, it would definitely have been at my old friend's house.
Great video and games Ed. Love it, some games are priceless with the memories they hold. I was collecting 3ds, but some prices were getting crazy......including barbie 😂😂😂
Thanks buddy!! Absolutely, definitely about the memories. Until I started making a list I thought it would be a rehash of my top 10 games but turned out not to be the case. Crumbs the 3ds is a bit of a full set nightmare. Most of the decent games are relatively ok priced - the pants ones however are arrrrggggh. Cheers so much as always. Have a great rest of the week mate.
Mine would be: MARIO BROS. (NES) Signed by my Dad. SUPER MARIO LAND (GB) for the memories associated with it. THE LOST SUNHEART (PC Engine) Took forever to find a complete copy. MORTAL KOMBAT (MD) for the memories associated with it. Sensi' Soccer 96/97 (AMIGA) Signed by Jon Hare. RIDGE RACER (PS) Single box edition mint. RESIDENT EVIL (PS) One of my favorite games mint. X-COM (PS) One of my favorite games mint. DARK SOULS (PS3) AIDS SOULS box art by Feed Me Chicken. DARK SOULS II: HMV Limited Edition 0615 of 2000 (PS3) It's a bit special innit! There's not really anything else I couldn't replace, even some of those mentioned I could swap out, it'd just cost me a small fortune and there'd be less effort involved and they'd likely not be as well cared for unless sealed, which is fu(king pointless anyway unless it's a spare.
Nice listing on this video ed mate especially Barbie and paw patrol 🤣 totally love street fighter 2 and shinobi and used to have caveman game years ago god know what happened to it 🙂
Im a barbie girl, in a barbie world.... yes ed buddy il be singing that all day now 😂 got to have some street fighter in there.... even if i did just about beat you 😂 shinobi..... yes yes yes 😊 ( in yodas voice ) mmmm ninja you are.... teach you i will 😂 love the gift off James's bud and paw patrol will some so much meaning as the years go on and on ❤
Haha, tune-age!!! Mate you are my Shinobi life-coach for sure - damn that Mandara!!! An absolutely lovely gesture from James; what a small world. Thanks a tonne Steve mate :0)
Gargoyles is ace i loved the cartoon and that box looks nice 👌a few i expected there but Shinobi 👊🏻not cyber Shinobi 😂 Don’t sell anything unless multiples is my theory so no top 10 for me,bought Retro import games 👌👊🏻
Cheers mate! I'll confess I haven't even seen the cartoon; will dig into. You got stung by that cyber hacking shinobi too didn't you haha - just stink no pink for that one. That's a good approach mate. I have to move bits on that I didn't enjoy or very unlikely won't return to. Helps me to reinvest haha and also my missus wouldn't lick from the back any more if I had even more games ;0)
Fab, pleased to hear it. Yes I’m good thanks mate. I haven’t played the second one! Seen it on nes for silly money. Think the gameboy sequel is a Japanese exclusive unless it came out also in the US. I’m tempted to grab a fan translated version for the Gb. Have you managed to play it? Cheers!
Some unique and great picks! Nice topic man! 🦎🦎🦎

Have a fab weekend Marcus!
Why would any one want to sell their barbie games? Mine are here to stay too.
Nice to see some lcd games in the list too 💪✌️✌️
They really should be framed shouldn't they haha. Good on ya mate!!!
Hope all is well Eddie. Chat soon.
What an eclectic selection Ed. Very fun! Wouldn't consider every game here to be a fun experience but it was fun watching.
😁👍
Cheers matey!! Agreed, at least a couple I won't be playing again but equally I don't think I could part company with them due to the memories :0)
Barbie Pups!! 🤩
😄💪🏻🕹️
Great watch mate
I love how the list doesn't comprise of typical games
thanks Tony! Really appreciate it mate :0)
Excellent selection mate, horrace makes another appearance!

Great vr mate, brilliant idea.
Interesting choices, nice to hear the reasoning behind your choices.
Cheers matey!!
Great watch and enjoyed the stories. When I saw Paw Patrol 👀 though, fully understand after hearing why you wouldn’t sell it though 😊
Cheers so much for watching and for the comment. If it wasn’t for the family memories with paw patrol it would likely be out the window 😄. Thanks again and enjoy the weekend. Chat again soon 👍
Some very cool items there mate will definitely do a VR to this but need some time to really think about my list
Great video mate 👍
Cheers Alex! As always, no pressure, rush etc. That said I'd LOVE to hear about your picks :0). Have a goodun mate.

I don't remember the gargoyles game. Defo remember the cartoon though.
Mint street fighter 2. I love that game.
Shinobi!
One of my favourites from back in the day, even though I sucked at it.😂
A frogger type affair but a classic mate 😊👍
You need to find a way to play this one. Cracking game! Have a fab weekend.
You didn't actually disclose how much you paid for Barbie. Spill the beans 😁
Haha I like your style 😄. The answer is circa 10% of the average strands of hairs in your typical Barbie 😉
