I was a special guest at Retro Rick's Convention, Retrofest Arkansas. It was wild 3 days and I got a real behind the scenes experience. We also crash Retro Rick's Gamepoint and see the legendary store.

I’m mad you had time to make a video, there was so much work to do…so selfish man😂
Brother!!! I put in 8 hours of solid work on that first day. 🤣
I would have done it for free. I like to help
Thank you so much for having me as a guest. It was a pleasure to meet your family, and finally get a chance to talk with you a little bit.
@@RNGGamerYThahaha obviously kidding, so thankful for your help …and so glad you were able to come…you are always invited!
@@retrorick your a nice guy rick! i hope to come next year!
Your last upload was two weeks ago son. Wtf. I’m starved for gamepoint content. Are you wiped and still resting? It’s been weeks.
I'll take you up on that! Maybe next year, i can do a panel
Awesome video brother! Was such a fun time hanging out with you and everyone else there. Great being a part of Rick’s first convention. Even if we had to put in some work 😂😂😂
I would have done the work even if I weren't a guest! Rick is such a sweet guy
Great vid Jaime! Thanks for hanging out that weekend, it was a great time! See ya at the next one….whenever that is lol
It was a blast, and I'm so glad we got to do it! Hopefully, you'll make it out to some more conventions
@@RNGGamerYT I will but just as Rob 😉
@retrobeliever you'll always be "just rob" to me 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT Lol! Touché sir 😉
18 Penguins is a reasonable guess. You'd run out of stamina.
Nah... we could take a lot more than 18 each 🤣
Great hanging with you dude. Such a great video
It was awesome to get to meet you!!! Hopefully, we get to hang out again before too long
Looked amazing! Definitely have to make it out one year. The store is amazing too! Great pick ups!
Thanks! It was a great time. I cage wait to go back next year
I love 'Ghost House'. That game was a regular weekend ritual when I was a kid.
Awesome!!!i thought I had wasted my money. Thanks for letting me know!
This channel is so damn fun man, thanks for taking us with you through the Con
I agree. This channel really is special.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that. Do me a favor and share this video with anyone you think might like it. It needs a little help 😄
I really appreciate you, brother!
Had a blast brother 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Thanks! It was awesome to hear to meet you!
Shout out to that guy who won the POG tournament. The person coming out on top being the one who wanted it most and trained/worked the hardest for it once again showing that video game conventions are a welcome break from reality 😂
I'm so thrilled he won! I saw him at the bar at the after party, and he was hauling the trophy around and showing it to everyone. He was so proud!
The Point Blank games are awesome. I only played part 1 in the arcades when that was there.
I can't wait to finally try them out! I love zaney stuff like that
@@RNGGamerYT Cool. Hey I just figured out what the Point Blanc games remind me of now. This is simply gun version games of Wario Inc. It's the exact same sound only in Wario inc you use a controller to succeed in your targets.
@tonyp9313 that sounds exactly like what I want!
You did one of our favorite US president dirty the man took on the Great Depression and WW2. lol feel like Rick timed the announcements to mess with you lol good to meet you there! Loves Rick store it’s quite the experience he has it set up like a bit of a theme park and museum
He's my favorite president! But it's pretty hard to fight from a wheelchair 🤣
It was awesome to meet you guys
I could totally see Teddy throwing suplexes all over the place like Leon Kennedy
Haha! Amazing visual
Cool. Thanks for the tour.
You bet! Thanks for watching!!!
Good to see your perspective on RetroFest. Looks like you got some sweet deals in your pickups. I entertained the idea of coming south but it was quite a hike from Baltimore. Thanks for saving me the trip.
It was a great convention! Just very different for me. I have a feeling it'll be even better next year
Great convention video, thanks for sharing! And congrats on snagging Point Blank 2! I think I have all those games, plus one or two Japanese-only spin-offs. I think one was called Oh Bakyuun, ghost-themed. Sadly I haven’t owned any CRT displays in many years. Anyway, all those games are incredibly fun, even in solo mode. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Thanks so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed the convention video.
I'm thrilled to try the point blank games! Thanks for letting me know how much you enjoyed them
Awesome stuff as always buddy. I love the con vid's since i have never been to one before in my life 😭😭😭
Gungrave is super fun but im sure the frames are bad at times on the OG version. It is still good tho 😁
I loved the Point Blank games aswell dude.
Dude! You've played everything! The point blank games!?!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video
@@RNGGamerYT Yeah i have buddy lol. Yeah used to play point blank alot with my friends its super fun :D
finally someone with integrity at a convention. it sucks that vendors and youtubers will start buying all the good stuff before the conventions start leaving the attendees who paid extra to get in early with the scraps.
... I hate it. After I became a content creator, I learned that about 50% of the sales happen before the convention even starts.
It's mostly stores buying stuff to stock their booths from smaller vendors.
If I ran a convention, there would be no transactions on the vendor floor until the VIPs got in
Just to clear something up… I was the seller of the DK to Retrowolf and nobody asked me to hold it.
Thanks for filling in the story!
Another content creator saw it during setup and said, "thay DK plush is dope... I'm going to ask him to hold it for me"
I never realized he didn't actually ever talk to you 😅
They probably got busy and forgot or found something else to spend their money on. There was sooo much amazing stuff I think people were going into sensory overload. I know I was. Lol.
@TonyBuck-ni3xn me, too! I always spend way too much!
I love that you are picking up 3DO games.
Heck yeah! The 3DO is awesome
Gungrave is so good. Only downsides for me is massive frame drops and having to mash the fire button instead of being able to hold it down. Still a super unique and fun experience. Hopefully I’ll catch you at TORG!
I think this was my last convention of the year! I would love to make it to TORG sometime. Ask them to invite me as a special guest 😄
Point blank is the best!!! Played all the time when I was a kid with my brother. Still play them. I have 1 and 3. Need to get 2. Great video
Thanks!!! I still need to get 1 and 3. It's awesome you have such fond memories of them
Great Video! I couldn't tell how many card games you stated were for the Sega Master System. Just wanted you to know there were actually 7 released in the US. They were F-16 Fighting Falcon, Ghost House, My Hero, Spy vs. Spy, Super Tennis, Transbot and Teddy Boy.
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I've heard some people say there are like 30 games in the card format. I knew that couldn't be right 😅
My buddy loves that Xbox Reckoning game, also I remember playing the Legacy of Kain on the Dreamcast and having a blast.
Awesome! I'm glad to hear you and your buddy had positive experiences with these games! I can't wait to try them out
Great video, looks like you had some fun there
I had a great time!
That FDR joke got me
I thought it was such a good joke 🤣
Bro has Tom Green vibes. Naturally funny guy. Have this sub boy.
Thanks so much! I'll take any compliment I can get 🤣
This video was a blast. I can let you take a closer look at the PS3 Time crisis game if you need to see what to look for.
Thanks, brother! I'll do that.
I'm so glad you liked the video
Teamwork makes the dream work, brother.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
Great video!
Thank you so much for watching!
It's really cool that Retro Rick has been able to host his own game convention! Looks like it was very successful!
I feel bad for the people paying $200 for the FFPR Collection; like, it just got a reprint, there's no real reason to pay that much for it (even if SqEnix is *still* underproducing physicals).
He put on an incredibly great convention. Especially for a 1st year.
3DO: do you remember the disk it came with showing off all of the things they had planned? I don't think any of them materialized. I remember a first person football game that I still want to this day! Anyway back when Xbox One was advertising itself as a complete entertainment hub rather than a gaming platform they would have done well to study the 3DO because it tried something similar and it did not go well. Two things I remember from 3DO: Dana Plato horror game and TONS of Dragon's Lair!
You're right! They actually thought every living room would have a 3DO and that it's all we would use for all media 🤣
I consider myself a pretty well-versed shmup aficionado, but I had no idea there was a PSX port of Soukyugurentai.
I have the Saturn version and it's definitely one of Raizing's most underappreciated games.
Awesome! I love shmups and collect them like crazy.
It's an interesting port. It's not as arcade perfect, but I think it's a better experience 😄
this is awesome good job
Thanks, brother!!!
manual labor aside it looks like a fun time/show lol! you're in the big time now working for Retro Rick ;-p
I know! I've truly made it 😅 my knees, on the other hand, they've already had their day in the sun
Wow, sounded like a different person by day 2. Rough night 😆
Those after after parties are too wild... 😅
Not FDR catching strays 😭😭😭
He's one of my favorite presidents.... but it's hard to fight from a wheelchair! 🤣
@RNGGamerYT CANCELED
Lol
Retro rick put you to work, lol. Looking good though showing those young fellas how it’s done. Your a good cat bro to wait for others, exactly why I love to support this channel
You gotta put in that elbow grease!!! The work isn't going to do itself
Now you got 2 copies of no one lives forever. 😂
I know! I'm going to have to give one away!
i remember my 2nd sister sprained her own knee 3 times the 1st time is when the year is 2017 for the 2nd time the year is 2021 or 2022 for the 3rd time the year is 2022 her knee is almost broken the whole time
That's a lot of injuries!
@@RNGGamerYT her first injury is when it's nighttime in my mom's old bedroom she was doing dance moves with my younger brother after a few minutes that happened she was crying of how much it hurts her 2nd injury is when she is coming back upstairs i think same thing with her 3rd injury!!!
NOW we know why you were so tired...and in dire need of a drink. lol And you WERE mauled, by us! Mwa ha ha!
Matt IS a thief, sneaky-sneaky wolf... Rando tables are the best. Gungrave is a good pick, nice. Dig seeing some 3DO pickups.
Retro Beard's Switch controller holders are so nice; we only nabbed the one but are chomping at the bit for more already. YES--love Maximo; it and the sequel are often my go-to PS2 recommendations. SMS HuCards are great finds. Don't bring change--this is what I've learned.
Bad knees is precisely why exactly 32 people fall victim to penguin attacks each year...
That's a sweet deal on a horde of Super Famicom games. Very sexy addition with that chainsaw controller, aw yeah.
Ha ha--I think we visited Rick's store the one time nobody else did--ha ha. Hey, WE gave Rick that RUclipsr of the Month trophy, true story. The year we hosted, we sent out that trophy to all 12 winners that year, including Rick, so it was really cool to see him have it on display in his shop.
Thanks for watching the video!!!
It was great to meet you guys. I remembered that you guys were the ones who gave him that trophy, but it was after the fact 😅 sorry about that.
Hopefully, we get to see each other soon
seen you coming, hopefully at least in the longrun that adds to your karma points, since rick couldnt give any remuneration for all your hard work.
I hope I get some karma points with Rick!!! He's an awesome guy
it so reminds me of Doom 2 on Nintendo Switch and other platforms!!! 27:02
Doom 2 is a classic
the 2nd MSX game i was able to beat is Zanac AI it's a shoot em up game i still remember i died 4 times while playing it on my IPad Pro with a PS5 controller!!!
Zanac is hard! Crazy hard
@@RNGGamerYT trust me Zanac AI 2nd edition is even harder than the 1st the farthest i gotten is round 5 and i think my rank 5 lieutenant thankfully your able to get power up 7 which is allot better than power 5 and 1!
Gungrave is awesome but the second game has a very annoying boss I couldn't beat. BTW love seeing Riff and Caleb appear in other people's videos
Thanks for letting me know about gungrave! Riff and Caleb are always sneaking around somewhere in the background of these videos
@RNGGamerYT the first gungrave looks really good on ps2 btw. I'm looking for both for my collection which I've had them before
great video, i did have a question, what randomizer software do you use on the show for your back log. seems like a great way to start attacking my ridiculous back log
Thanks! I just use a spreadsheet and a website called wheel of names!
I have a whole complicated system for what goes on the wheel
i played that game on my old Tablet Sega Game Gear in the afternoon i was pretty far until i lost i was 14 years old in the house i was in 17:42
It's a great game!
i played Sega Master System games on my old Tablet before the screen is farther away than Sega Game Gear!
The master system and gamegear are very similar!
@@RNGGamerYT i figured they are!
i saw cords that there taped up when i was younger in Cactus Middle School and i think Mesquite School 1:20
Awesome!
I got the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster recently! I love it, I need to spend more time with it but there's TOO MANY GAMES to play. I've been buying way more games than I'm playing. lol adult problems.
Tell me about it!!! Adult problems... real problems 😅
i heard that music track from Pokemon Ruby Sapphire and Emerald gen 3 on GBA 14:21
I've never actually played either of those games
@@RNGGamerYT it's harder than gen 2
Hope you got some good in store Credit from that Rick guy!!?? 😂👍👍
Haha... maybe next year 🤣
TIGHTEN IT UP!
None of your videos need to be longer than 5, 10 minutes tops.
Editors are your friends!
A professional editor did this video....
okay that's funny
See what happens when you have to yell to be heard? lol. Glad ya'll had fun. How'd you like Freddy's? It's a tad expensive for a fast food burger, but those smashed burgers rock!. (ate there today)
Glad you snagged some 3DO games.
Yelling non-stop for 2 days will wear you out!
Freddy's is fine. We have one next to Culver's and they are basically identical. I think Culver's has the edge. They are both super overpriced
No way…… Scottie Pippen was atleast 8.5!! 😊😊😊😊
Take that up with video game votary!!! I loved Pippen!
Looks like you had a great time but did you get sick on day two cuz I swear it sounds like you're coming down with a cold. I think you're allergic to game conventions if so!
I was going to say it looked like there was some pretty good deals out there at the convention, but also it looks like retro. Rick had some pretty good deals at the store as well. Glad you got to go and check out the very first year for this one maybe next year you can be POG champion.
Thanks! There were plenty of good deals!
And no, I didn't get sick... I just partied too hard 🤣
sorry to hear that it sounds like your sick in Day 2 21:18
I just lost my voice because I partied too hard the night before 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT lol
8:35 beat em up Brian ended up buying that Starfox super weekend
I wondered who got it!
The legacy game is obviously Drizzt inspired.
100% 🤣
I just bought a donut for a dollar…
Total ripoff!!! 🤣
i never see people buy a donut for 1 dollar
Army of Zin is easier than the first Maximo and also a much better game, IMO - one of my favorite games ever,
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I can't wait to try it out
i heard those words before in person 4:26
Sweet!
They put you to work 😂😂😂
They really did
i played Star Fox before on Super Nintendo while playing it on my old Tablet and i was confused of what to do i never look it up on RUclips i couldn't beat the 1st screen
I need to play some more starfox.
@@RNGGamerYT same:)
My guy
My guy!
Soul Reaver 2 awesome game 😊
I can't wait to try it
i never heard ecstatic
It means extremely excited for something
I thought you grabbed gun grave for 40?? you said at the voiceover part that you did 45? lol
It was $40 I made a mistake... obviously 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT hahahahahhahaa nice
i heard CRT before
Yeah! Cathode Ray Tube TVs.
i saw those on the NES and i think other consoles 12:54
That's awesome!
it almost reminds the beginning vid 24:28
Yup@
Didn't you release this video last week?
Nope! That was a behind the scenes video of the day before the convention.
This is the WHOLE convention video
@@RNGGamerYT my man. Alright. Watching it now. I saw the first minute or two and was like wtf. I saw this last week 😆
I hope you enjoy it!
First legacy of kain is top down and same graphic as diablo. But plays nothing like diablo. More like a zelda game for grown ups. The other legacy of kain games more like action adventure with puzzles. Defiance is more of a hack n slash game. They all got complicated deep lore.. and amazing voice acting
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know.
I'm glad to hear there are variances between them
yeah but all the people that never have interacted with any of these folks know exactly what its like bro!! people like you that are actually friends with the youtubers don't realize they are just slaves to the bigger channels. You kiss their feet thats why you get to be a guest. Don't you know this..?!
You speak the truth!!!
@@RNGGamerYT lol
i regret selling my 3do but too many systems back then, how much did that guy have on plumbers? I seen it once in a local store but it was case and like part of the manual only, aint buying that junk
His price was decent. But I didn't need it.
I think it ended up going for $700 at the auction for VIPs that night
@@RNGGamerYT it was $700 for plumbers? what your telling me?
@@BanditsBest686 that's what it sold for at the auction, if I remember correctly. About half price!
@@RNGGamerYT wtf i didnt know its worth that much now last time i looked it was like $300 cib but that was who knows 6-7-8 yrs ago? Yeah these prices bro im emulation no way id pay that much for a game even if i had the money
You all sure are milking Retro Rick's convention for all it's worth. hahaha Wow. 🤣
I did 1 video... and I was required to do it since I was a special guest
@@RNGGamerYT and an amazing video it is. Great work, bro!
