I live in the same area you hit. I never knew? I have a Star Wars edition 360 it makes R2-D2 sound when it comes on it is the color of R2-D2 the controller is C-3PO color
Use 91% alcohol to clean the games put it on the paper towel it evaporates right away after you use it and it works great for cleaning Sega Genesis games when they don't work
Would take me 2 years at every goodwill in my area going daily to find that much value. I'll never understand why some areas send their games/valuable goods to the online store immediately and some don't.
All I ever find is fifa ( I live in the uk btw). Probably because I don’t go nearly as often as I should do if I want good stuff. It’s probably taken by people not as lazy as me
Some additional Cleaning Tips I’ve leaned over the last 8 years: - Plastic razor blade tool from Amazon to remove stickers from cartridge...best thing ever - Goof Off from Home Depot will remove sticker residue and permanent marker and isn’t greasy (90%+ iso alcohol works well too) - Hair dryer on hot back and forth over stickers for minute or two to loosen the glue and remove stickers from labels without damaging them. This is where that plastic razor blade comes in handy as well once the sticker glue is loose. Label could come loose as well, but it will stick back down.
Man I was so happy for you when I saw No More Heroes 2, I found that a few months ago with Metroid Trilogy, that’s what for me hooked on game hunting. I also love finding plastic wrapped ones, just recently found the simpsons DS game sealed and a sealed PS2 Star Trek game.
Man, I wish our goodwills in Tucson had half of the stuff you find! Good finds my friend! I had a karate tiger game and the baseball and football ones. Not very good, but as a 10 year old at the time, I loved them.
I had a whole box full of tiger handhelds when I was little I don't remember ever playing them for more than a couple minutes at a time. Once I got a game boy forget about it those tiger handhelds never saw the light of day again
I just wanted to say thank you! I love watching your videos every week and I have been a fan since January of 2020 lol I know I’m still new to your channel.
You guys jammy that you got all this at a charity shop here in the UK we have: someone's Grammy dies so they drop of her musty clothes, a VHS copy of spice world cds of Michael flatleys River dance and tonnes of pottery ornaments that died of death in 80s!
I had the Ninja Gaiden Tiger handheld game. It spoke to you at the beginning: "You are entering the world of chaos, the end of your life draws near, hahahaha!"
ive been binging your videos the last couple days lol. kinda makes me sad that we lost all my childhood toys, but also makes me excited to try and find some of it again.
Hey Retro Rick, you and other RUclipsrs have inspired me to start a game collection of my own. Sure you may have seen a comment similar before, but I realized the fun of collecting games, and how cheap you can purchase games for!
Man, definitely jealous. All the goodwills around here send anything that's not sports-related to some seedy online auction site, great to see some goodwills are still putting this stuff out!
Rick, living under a rock: "So I almost passed on this weird game I've never heard of called No More Heroes-" My dude, my guy, No More Heroes is practically a flagship franchise at this point. XD
I think it’s funny you bought Travis Strikes Back on Switch episodes ago and then get No More Heroes 2 and have no idea they’re the same series lol. It’s newer though so easy to probably miss! Great video and mega finds!
Brutal Legend is for sure worth playing. Such a fun game, especially if you are into heavy metal music. All Star cast starring Ozzy Osbourne and Jack Black.
Lucky. Yesterday, I walked into a Goodwill and asked one of the employees if they had any games in stock, he immediately said to go look online. He pretty much confirmed that any video games they get go straight to the online auction market and that's a nationwide policy, so I don't know how the one you went to actually has them stocked on shelves.
Just found your channel and this video is blowing my mind. I seen the Mario Party 8 each time you dropped a game in your stack and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for you to get it. Then you do and the thing is SEALED!!!!!! WOW
The Tiger I remember growing up with I don't recall the name but it was based around ninjas. Lots of fun playing the with an old neighborhood friend of mine. Loved the Home Improvement, Goosebumps, and TNG board games. And always have to get Jaws.
For me when i go to that type of stores i always check the disc Condition before i buy it. if its just little finger prints then that's easy to clean. if its scratches then its no go. That's what i do when use to buy me ps3 games at Gamestop until they stop carrying them.
No more heros is a really fun kinda hack and slash crude humor kinda game nd has an amazing story. It was made and wasn’t an immediate success but got a colt following recently. Great finds!
Rick! I have the same color Nintendo switch! I was so happy to get my Nintendo switch lite back in the summer of 2020 because of the pandemic!Every one was buying a Nintendo switch console.
One handheld game I remember getting for Christmas in 1998 was The Lion King II: Simba's Pride Talking Electronic LCD Game. I still remember the background music that thing used to play. One day, I hope to find that game at a thrift store so I can play it again.
I did the same thing about a week or so ago. Found a bunch of Xbox 360 games $2 each. Most weren't worth a lot, but they looked like someone's collection and were very clean. Ended up grabbing about 33 games. While digging through them there were several sports games. Most I left except one... a complete NCAA Football '14! Sold it within 24 hours for $120. Paid for the entire collection and still had money left over.
@@retrorick Cool, so are you going for any other complete sets for any consoles? cause i know you have all the n64 games. right now im trying to get all of the ps2 greatest hits titles, if you have any on your ebay account please send me the link. :) keep the good work on your videos.
I live in the u.k I love going to charity shops and love finding game bargains.. our lockdown ends today so I'll be going down tomorrow staight after work
That Mario Party 8 is sweet! I found a sealed Hit and Run for the gamecube and Jak 3 for PS2 about a month ago and it was amazing! Sealed games are always cool to find.
for marker on plastic/labels I use a mix of WD-40 and IPA. Just make sure you don't scrub too hard and you're limiting the liquid to the spot that needs cleaning. You're ruin the label if it gets too wet, obviously.
Glad to see you had company on your shopping trip....maybe he was a good luck charm! Sadly, while I grew up in the Tiger handheld era....never had any of them. Played a few of my friends', but none for me!
When I saw No more hero’s 2 on the shelf I was like please get that game it’s worth 50 all day lol. Make sure u try it!! It’s a very good game so is the first one!! Very fun!!
This always ALWAYS happens. I start searching for a game (No more Heroes 2) and one of my people I'm subscribed to finds it in their next video. GET OUT OF MY HEAD LOL. Killer finds per usual
Your pretty lucky with the finds! Up here in Canada lots of dealers are about looking for stuff. It's almost always a race and the thrift stores here have mostly caught on and look up the games then sell them for retail/ebay prices. Ugh.
Your choices of items to sell are very different than mine! I've been working this formula for about 15 years now and I'm at a point where I can sell dupes only and I'm good to go. BUT if that was me managing that pile you have, the remote, Buzzlightyear, that retron thing and the extra Kiwi Game Boy would be gone before Twilight Princess and that CIB King's Quest! But I've also gotten very fast to list things: I come home from hunting and immediately process everything: one pile to keep, one to sell. I clean then take pictures of everything while I'm already manipulating them. Then wait for the kids to go to sleep later in the evening, open a cold can of beer and list everyting while watching some RUclips stuff! No death pile of stuff to list!
I didn't grow up with tiger electronics games but I had a few Sonic games from Mcdonalds, a flight simulator, a racing simulator, and a Millennium Pyramid Tetris with other games as well.
Wouldn't it be easier to order the 3.8mm and the 4.5mm security bits so that you can open the systems and carts and give them a proper cleaning? As for the N64 system you cleaned, you may have removed a lot of the gunk from the outside, but you could still see a ton of gunk and corrosion through the ventilation holes right below the cart slot. Also, keep in mind that the stickers on the game cases lowers the resale value. I know that you are trying to build up your funds, but I do recommend getting Goo Gone. It will remove the stickers from the game cases flawlessly and it has a citrus smell to it. Remember, you have to spend $$ to make $$.
you HAVE to play no more heroes! INCREDIBLE game series. Insane gameplay, hilarious story, great artstyle. It's made by Suda 51 if you know any of their other works.
That Universal Studios VHS is a cool find. We have one--not sure if the same one--but they're great pieces of history. Especially since, sadly, so many of the rides are now gone... Always nice to add some LEGO games to the collection. They're fantastic couch co-op playthroughs. Love me some Ratchet & Clank! If time permits, you should give No More Heroes a shot. They're pretty neat and fairly unique games.
That's nice they gave you the empty cases. I asked if I could have an empty case at Good Will once and rather than giving it to me they threw it away. Luckily it was something common, but still.
Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving! If you are interested in becoming a patreon member, here is the link www.patreon.com/retrorick

“He has way too many toys.”
As Rick grabs more games and frogger. 😂
100% My Thought lol
yep, my jaw dropped too
You will need to make a top ten great finds from this series as a recap. Great finds👍
I don’t think this series will ever get old
This is now 2 years old 😏
I see Retro Rick, I click
👍🏽
Yup
Lol
haha thanks for watching Kevin!
@@MovieGuy0896 You my guy, movie guy
I live vicariously through Rick because all I ever find is Madden 06 for PS2 lol
Bahahaha
More then what I find at Goodwills lol
hahaha im glad im good for something
...or that dang Mary Kate and Ashley game for the Nintendo DS! I'll catch a glimpse of a complete DS game but it seems like it's always THAT one! ;)
All I ever find is fifa ( I live in the uk btw). Probably because I don’t go nearly as often as I should do if I want good stuff. It’s probably taken by people not as lazy as me
I need Mario Party 8 for my collection Nice Sealed Score
im hoping to make a decent profit on it when it sells on ebay!
@@retrorick yeah it should be a decent profit I need a complete copy of 8 I have 9 missing the manual and 10
@@rickeyrankin8457 I got a complete copy from my freind but I forgot to check the disc condition and its scratched af (but it still runs)
(Complete copy of 8)
My cousin got one from goodwill
Another solid video, Rick. Appreciate the grind you're on ... sorry you're inspiring so many of us to get out there and gobble up the games ourselves!
Awesome to see a farming game about time ❤
"Switch Heavy"😂😂...Love it.
shes hilarious

The universal VHS is a hell of a find. So jealous. I hope you got it.
I had that Home Improvement board game back in the days. It was a lot of fun. Brings back memories!
I still can’t believe that goodwills are still out there pricing games at 2 bucks a piece. Great haul man!!!!
You guys jammy that you got all this at a charity shop here in the UK we have: someone's Grammy dies so they drop of her musty clothes, a VHS copy of spice world cds of Michael flatleys River dance and tonnes of pottery ornaments that died of death in 80s!
games at my local goodwill are 5 dollars, unfortunately
FFX was one of my favorite game. Such a great storyline.
it really is so good!
You got to try no more heros 2 it's really fun you'll be surprised by it Rick and brutal legend has Jack Black in it and it's pretty fun as well
ill give them a try...thanks for the recommendation!
@@retrorick never played brutal legend.... it's like tenacious D bottled up in a game
The only Tiger handheld I can remember having was the Batman Forever one
I had that one to
nice...i picked up a Batman one recently
Nice I actually just found one at a thrift store for $1.99
I had a street fighter one. So horrible 😆
I had the Ninja Gaiden Tiger handheld game. It spoke to you at the beginning: "You are entering the world of chaos, the end of your life draws near, hahahaha!"
ive been binging your videos the last couple days lol. kinda makes me sad that we lost all my childhood toys, but also makes me excited to try and find some of it again.
Hey Retro Rick, you and other RUclipsrs have inspired me to start a game collection of my own. Sure you may have seen a comment similar before, but I realized the fun of collecting games, and how cheap you can purchase games for!
The sealed Shawn White is actually from a Best Buy, that is the price tag they add to their 'Bargain Bin' games.
Thanks for sharing that! I thought it looked new and that label looked vaguely familiar...
When you try to buy a Home Improvement board game but the cashier says "I Don't think so, Tim."
Man, definitely jealous. All the goodwills around here send anything that's not sports-related to some seedy online auction site, great to see some goodwills are still putting this stuff out!
That E.T. figure was actually the first doll my baby got. She loved it and carried it everywhere.
Wow nice haul Rick, I can't believe how much some of those games are worth😍😮
No one:
Me: *picks trough every game to find childhood ones*
Dang!!! That Goodwill haul. Wowwww! I've gotten a good haul like that like twice in the last few months and that it. So stoked for you, dude.
Rick, living under a rock: "So I almost passed on this weird game I've never heard of called No More Heroes-"

Haha I felt the same way! Thanks for watching my friend
I remember having a Star Wars Tiger handheld growing up. Tiger handhelds were a lot of fun back in the day.
I had a couple of Tiger Handhelds as a kid but the one I remember the most is Tiny Toons.
I had two growing up. Marc and Ivan Stewart Off-road. Both were surprisingly fun.
So many games!!
ha, i almost labeled the thumbnail that!
I love ur channel thx for all you do ❤
The Tiger I remember growing up with I don't recall the name but it was based around ninjas. Lots of fun playing the with an old neighborhood friend of mine.
Loved the Home Improvement, Goosebumps, and TNG board games. And always have to get Jaws.
OMG I had that goosebumps board game as a kid! I'm going to have to look into getting it again! Haha love nostalgia

What a haul! Anything sealed is exciting. Awesome job with the vid! 👍
Brutal Legends is a fun game. It has the voice of Jack Black and the soundtrack is metal.
oh wow..thanks for the info!
lot of metal artist cameos as well
Tiger handhelds were perfect Frisbee's to fly across the room and watch BANG! against the wall
No more heros is a really fun kinda hack and slash crude humor kinda game nd has an amazing story. It was made and wasn’t an immediate success but got a colt following recently. Great finds!
you´re such a wholesome guy man I love your videos
Rick brutal legends is a total hidden gem. If you like tenacious d you'll love brutal legends. And it has an insane soundtrack.
The only handhelds like that that I had an history with were the happy meal McDonalds sonic games lol
oh yeah..i forgot about those!
That’s insane finding a sealed Mario Party game and for $2! Crazy. I unfortunately never had any tiger handhelds growing up :/ awesome video
Rick! I have the same color Nintendo switch! I was so happy to get my Nintendo switch lite back in the summer of 2020 because of the pandemic!Every one was buying a Nintendo switch console.
I never played tiger hand helds, but I loved transforming Transformers.
heck yeah...me too
My 1st Tiger Handheld was a Wrestling one now I have a Sonic 3 one sealed
very cool...i havent gotten the sonic 3 one yet
@@retrorick yeah hopefully your local Gamestop has one
One handheld game I remember getting for Christmas in 1998 was The Lion King II: Simba's Pride Talking Electronic LCD Game. I still remember the background music that thing used to play. One day, I hope to find that game at a thrift store so I can play it again.
lol ! That home improvement!! Sometimes I don’t know why I “need” certain things I just do!!
Dam it I want that Spider-Man 3!

Your channel inspired me to pick up games where I left off. So I bought myself a wii and a 3ds. Thank you for the inspiration!
Final Fantasy X still sealed damn that’s a score right there
damn the mario party sealed! thats insane my dude.
never had a tiger, but I do remember playing a wheel of fortune tiger game at a barber shop.
ha i feel like i still see those all the time at goodwills
@@retrorick Cool, so are you going for any other complete sets for any consoles? cause i know you have all the n64 games. right now im trying to get all of the ps2 greatest hits titles, if you have any on your ebay account please send me the link. :) keep the good work on your videos.
Amazing Goodwill finds.
Yes! Brutal Legend is Awesome! Main character is voice by Jack Black, it's a great homage to Rock n Roll. Very underrated game.
There’s a new no more hero’s coming out! So that’s probably why the value went up!
I live in the u.k
I love going to charity shops and love finding game bargains.. our lockdown ends today so I'll be going down tomorrow staight after work
You have to try out No More Heroes. It’s probably my favorite series on the Wii. It has great humor and doesn’t take itself seriously at all.
That Mario Party 8 is sweet! I found a sealed Hit and Run for the gamecube and Jak 3 for PS2 about a month ago and it was amazing! Sealed games are always cool to find.
for marker on plastic/labels I use a mix of WD-40 and IPA. Just make sure you don't scrub too hard and you're limiting the liquid to the spot that needs cleaning. You're ruin the label if it gets too wet, obviously.
Tiger electronics - the best handheld we owned in the 90’s. Wild West Showdown! I feel bad for how many batteries we killed on that game.
The only Tiger handheld I had growing up was Power Rangers and I loved it. Still have it in my collection
Glad to see you had company on your shopping trip....maybe he was a good luck charm! Sadly, while I grew up in the Tiger handheld era....never had any of them. Played a few of my friends', but none for me!
Both no more heroes and Mario party were amazing pickups can’t believe you found those!
Nice haul Rick. Congrats
Thanks for watching Rusty!
My find this week, was a copy of "The Wizard" on VHS. Be on the Lookout!
That's a badass movie
That kind of score puts the Good in Goodwill
When I saw No more hero’s 2 on the shelf I was like please get that game it’s worth 50 all day lol. Make sure u try it!! It’s a very good game so is the first one!! Very fun!!
No more Heroes just got a rerelease on Switch. Definately should try it out!
ill give it a shot...thanks for the recommendation!
Awesome video! My son loves seeing your room and congrats on the awesome score.
The Northern White Rhinos are extinct because of game hunting! I cannot believe You take it so lightly and endorse game hunting!
Oh Brutal Legend is so much fun, you have to try it! The intro alone is worth it!
I literally went through and like all your videos
This always ALWAYS happens. I start searching for a game (No more Heroes 2) and one of my people I'm subscribed to finds it in their next video. GET OUT OF MY HEAD LOL.

Your choices of items to sell are very different than mine! I've been working this formula for about 15 years now and I'm at a point where I can sell dupes only and I'm good to go.

Cool. I found Cujo, Cat’s Eye’s, & Fire Starter in the past couple weeks. I’m gonna have to add them my collection.
Man those Sierra quest games were the best, police quest being my fav
I didn't grow up with tiger electronics games but I had a few Sonic games from Mcdonalds, a flight simulator, a racing simulator, and a Millennium Pyramid Tetris with other games as well.
No More Heroes is a cult classic, one of the greatest Wii games. It was one of the only Mature rated games made specifically for the Wii.
Wouldn't it be easier to order the 3.8mm and the 4.5mm security bits so that you can open the systems and carts and give them a proper cleaning? As for the N64 system you cleaned, you may have removed a lot of the gunk from the outside, but you could still see a ton of gunk and corrosion through the ventilation holes right below the cart slot. Also, keep in mind that the stickers on the game cases lowers the resale value. I know that you are trying to build up your funds, but I do recommend getting Goo Gone. It will remove the stickers from the game cases flawlessly and it has a citrus smell to it. Remember, you have to spend $$ to make $$.
you HAVE to play no more heroes! INCREDIBLE game series.
Insane gameplay, hilarious story, great artstyle. It's made by Suda 51 if you know any of their other works.
I had the Lion King handheld. My sister had the Little Mermaid one. So fun. Might need to check my parents attic for them at Christmas.. lol
Guy Said Switch Heavy ! That’s Hilarious !
That frogger game! ow yeah and I use the same tactic :'D let my kid play till she doesn't feel the need to wanna take it home
Hahaha it’s really a great approach
Your local Goodwill is different than mine. Mine doesn’t price the games at two dollars instead they’re over priced.
That Universal Studios VHS is a cool find. We have one--not sure if the same one--but they're great pieces of history. Especially since, sadly, so many of the rides are now gone...
Always nice to add some LEGO games to the collection. They're fantastic couch co-op playthroughs.
Love me some Ratchet & Clank!
If time permits, you should give No More Heroes a shot. They're pretty neat and fairly unique games.
