Better than anything on Netflix.
or on tv, for that matter
Amen to that, Netflix has become a cesspool to say the least.
This needs to be on Netflix or something similar!
@@jackwhite6552 get Amazon prime. This whole show is there so many episodes too
Jack White But we can just watch this excellent show here. On RUclips. With those Masterclass ads. But otherwise free. Or no monthly fee.
These children...
These children MAKE this episode.. I know everyone in this series and I appreciate them all. But I don't appreciate anything more than I do the enthusiasm from these young kids.
> I didn't sign up for this.
I couldn't relate more to that comment in regards to modern gaming.
One of the mini existential thoughts I have about retro games is "50+ years from now, will people even care about retro games when our generation is old?" Seeing the enjoyment these kids are having is a good reminder that a fun game is a fun game no matter how old.
Exactly! I love youth getting excited for good games that don't hold your hand and take no prisoners. They know a good game when they play it.
If I had Game consoles , I would’ve been A Game Cube/Wii kid.
I love things GameCube and Older.
Hear, hear!
"I did not sign up for this".
I so feel what you saying lil bro.
That boy has some sage level wisdom.
Smart kid, I think the whole gaming community just shouted Hell Yeah in unison.
From the mouths of babes come words of wisdom.
Deeper words were never spoken...
hell yeah, amen bro.
“An Atari 2600. In box. Which HE specified...”
Oh boy😂😂😂😂😂
Santa and his unlimited supply of new old stock, lol
The pure, uncut honesty of those children is the best.
I've just commented saying how lovely those kids are, and I don't even like kids!
I may be wrong, but all the times I’ve watched this, I’ve always felt there was something off about it. It makes me think it was either scripted or that the kids were saying what they thought they wanted to hear.
Again, I may be wrong.
You know it's a big production when full names are used.
Screwy haha yep. You know it’s a big one when you see “Marc Duddleson”.
@@Skellotronix Easy. No need to your cables in a knot.
It’s not nostalgia. Just awesome discovering 99.9% of games that I missed growing up.
[Try4ce] Very much the core theme of this. I got back into NES in the late '90s when I realized I missed SO MANY games for it. And to this day, the greatest joy for me in retro gaming is discovering "new to me" favorites on old systems. I really wanted to push back against the prevailing notion that it's all about nostalgia.
Absolutely, it's so good remembering game's from the past that we never got to play or complete and finding them and playing them. It fills gaps that were once left open and gives you closure in that part of our lives haha.
@@mylifeingaming I was born in 1999 and some of my favorite games are from before that and I have only discovered them in the last few years. It's really not just nostalgia
Specially to be able to play those newly translated games that never left japan are one of the many reasons that make retro gaming fresh and alive after all these years.
@@mylifeingaming That's what it's been like for me with the Sega Saturn. I adored shmups in the arcades way back in the day, and discovering that there are so many great shmups on the system has been a wonder to me, and that doesn't even include classics like the Panzer Dragoon series. I actually discovered Panzer Dragoon way back in 2002 or 2003 with Panzer Dragoon Orta, and that began the journey of discovery for me. I was already familiar with the NES, SNES, and PS1, and so on (I turn 31 this year), but the Saturn always eluded me.
Those kids are just amazing. I bet you could have hours and hours of fun with them and experience old games in a totally new way you haven't thought of in decades
Come on MLiB, upload all of the B-Roll footage of those two kids asap!
I'm 40 seconds in, already knowing I'm going to love it.
I saw the thumbnail and already knew it was my jam
Legends
Now it's a party!
32:00 there should be a small company to make again CRTs. like a high quality device with every wishfull connection on it for the retro community around the world. sure it would not be a company achieving very high selling numbers, but i am sure there would be a small market for it. like make 3 models wich difference is only the sice 20inch 30inch and 40inch or so. it has to have rf, composite, s-video, component, vga, scart and for newer nonsense even hdmi/dp. something similar to philips tvs with pixelplus which really had a high res mask.
that would be so great.
That kid that wants a Fairchild Channel F. That was my childhood! My dad brought one home from work when a friend upgraded to a newer system & I loved it. Hardly anyone knows what it is these days.
26:03 "The first time I got my Atari, I lov-- I was just pl-- I just played Dig Dug all the time."
How have I reincarnated in that kid without dying first?
there's a pooka in all of our hearts
@@Doritomurderer if your heart feels like a pooka, you might wanna get that checked out LOL
@@Doritomurderer Why does this make me laugh so hard LOL
The little boy got me kind of emotional not going to lie his parents are doing it right.
I kinda got choked up, envying the relationship that kid has with his dad. My father was never around or cared about my love for video games or anything I liked. I hope he realizes how lucky he is.
I, I uh didn't get emotional with the part regarding the boy and his father
That boy is the son to one cool dad. Both of those kids really seem to grasp older video games in a way you normally don't think is possible.
im 13, and the only consoles i have are ps1 and nes clone, i played games on ps1 when i was like 4-5, sadly disc drive on it died, only found out nes clone like in 2016-2017, the problem is i cant find any catridges in my family's home

27:18 - “They’re loud, noisy, and have this weird squeaking sound.”
We’re all getting older in ways that aren’t so obvious. CRTs emit a high frequency sound in the 15700Hz range. I can no longer hear frequencies above 15000Hz, but it must be very noticeable to this kid.
I suppose that’s alright though. While most classic consoles will survive for a very long time, these CRT displays will age and die alongside us. Retro gaming is for everyone, but CRTs belong to our generation.
Well said. I love crts but I've never met anyone in person who cares. I will never game on anything but a crt. I have 7 stocked. four have been recapped. I wonder what the fate of crts will be. Thinking about it makes me want to put my bvm1911 in storage and show it off in 20 years. It may be a treasured relic or obsolete novelty. I'm not sure.
Is it bad that I can hear it and often bothers me if I play on one for far too long?
It looks so good, I can't help but to just suffer through it for the beauty
i hear them and the sound's very annoying until my ears adapt to it, and i couldn't stand the sound of them when i was around their age. i totally get what this kid is saying
Well that was unexpectedly deep :)
CRT Junkies: FOOLISH FLAT-PANEL PEASANT CHILD! YOU WILL LEARN THE GLORY OF SCANLINES AND OVERSCAN!
(Please don’t take this seriously)
Seeing those kids playing older games gives me hope for the future.

Bjarne Dürlitz aren’t you edgy, let me guess your one of the gender confused snowflakes? What’s triggering you today?
@@MansonX *you’re
@@MansonX please dont bring politics into this. I just wanted to learn about retro gaming.
Every time Frank Cifaldi opens his mouth I am just screaming "YES! EXACTLY"
The man is just so spot on, every.single.time.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that at 11:32 - on this gaming RUclips video there is a handheld video of a screen displaying a website with a thumbnail of a RUclips video of someone using a handheld camera to record a RUclips Video of a screen of a video game?
You’re blowing my mind.
Mind. Blown.
LET'S GO JOSE CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that I’m 35 and married with 1 year old twins. I fully understand not having the time. And when I do have the time I don’t want to play some long ass game that takes hundred hours.
Not to mention the time it takes to get into the actual game in the first place! Can be very discouraging.
Just don't sleep. I'm pretty sure it's not healthy but Dragon Quest 11 ain't gonna beat itself. Sleep 4 hours wake up get the kid ready for school, feel like a boss for beating Mordegan first time, after going down to one dude and making a huge come back. You'll be too tired to be sad the next day when you realize there's 10+ harder hours left to get the real ending, lol
I hear you brother
Have a 5 year old, a 4 year old, and a 1 year old. I just today got my first day without the kids since last October. Do I want to spend my evening watching cutscenes? hell no.
I'm so relieved to know that I'm not the only one who feels that way. It seems like everybody around me is always talking about games that need to be bigger and longer. Personally I would prefer to play a game that is short but is enjoyable enough to make you want to revisit it again rather than playing something that is hundreds of hours long and ends up over staying its welcome.
Just the name "Analog frontiers" is amazing!! Great work, guys!
It's fun to see all the familiar faces throughout the RGB years. I remember seeing Rachel's face so many times via her profile; waiting for her new cables to become available for purchase on eBay. I also remember when Bob Neal started up the RGB RUclips channel. Awesome to see all of this documented in one spot. Awesome work guys and gals.
Bob is also a massive jackass.
@@ccateni28 l0l
@Atomatic Games He basically wanted Smash JT fired from his job over John Hancock's DMCA and also threaten to find his information and do the firing himself.
Goddamn this production.
You guys are always a joy to listen to.
HELL YEAAH
Oh my god those children are just adorable. I'm sure their dad is very proud 😊
I love this family you interviewed, so cool.
I love the fact that Matts children are into retro gaming. When I tried to explain to my class how retro gaming was at the very least on par with modern games, I was humiliated for it, so it’s nice to see that some other people enjoy it as well.
I'm 14 and discovered this wonderful aspect of games by accident.
I cant imagine being one of the five people that disliked this. The level of pettiness is unimaginable
When you consistently raise the bar on what a RUclips video's production value should be like MLiG does you have to expect some hurt feelings.
You know what you must do now, Jason. They can't hide, no place to hide.
My hat's off to you guys, this is incredible.
Can’t wait to get through this. Thanks for all the hard work!
Every time you guys post a historical, I get so pumped to click! Thanks boys!
This Doc is definitely one of the highlights of the week. WOW! I love it thanks so much for all your hard work and I cant wait for the rest of this series.
Can’t wait for the rest of this series!!! You can tell this is going to be a fantastic series! Great work once again guys!!
I never, ever in my life ever thought I would hear someone not even in high school yet (I'm assuming) would even know what a Fairchild Channel F is, let alone want to own one.
This kid is barely into middle school
"Nostalgia is a great force in the videogame industry"
I'd say in most of the entertainment industry.
Specially in Hollywood, but that one is completely creatively bankrupt already.
When I see Groundhog Day being used to sell Jeeps, I know that our generation (80s-90s) has been fully milked to death.
Unlike the Video Game Industry though, Nostalgia based movie releases tend to both damage a property and kill any chance the series had going forward.
We all can think of some recent examples.
I won't name any, but we all know the many dead horses that Disney likes to beat till people loathe the things they once loved.
There is no single more significant driver in all of our personal tastes than nostalgia. If anything, nostalgia is grossly underplayed across the board.
@@justsomecat Sure whatever you say.
@@justsomecat How bout the 2019 remake of *The Lion King*
I've never seen such a quality video as regards to the subject, the interviews, the editing, the whole video is a masterpiece. thank you.
This was absolutely incredible! Cant wait to see more of content like this! You guys are the best for the way you respect the games and people in the community!
12:39 Jeremy and his Gin haha. This is fantastic guys!
This video can be considered as "RUclips gold". A video with such high quality that everyone should see it :)
This was an incredible documentary that covered so many corners of retro gaming. I’m here for whatever your next documentary is!
Fantastic work! I never knew RetroRGB had a weekly podcast. Thank you so much for helping me rediscover this awesome resource.
Great video! I hope in part 2 we see emulation developer like byuu and their work. Because as good and important those hardware modifications are... future generations won't have the hardware anymore. We should focus more and more towards emulation. The more people get into this, the more bugs are found that can be fixed eventually. Just with emulation we can preserve gaming history.
Loved every minute Of this! This must be how football lovers feel about watching the Super Bowl
This documentary seems like a culmination of your years of work and research so far.
Great job, can't wait for part 2
This is very well done. Looking forward to future episodes!
please come back with the theme song of the old videos, it is chilling !!!
[Try4ce] Don't worry, that is still our main theme for our regular episodes! But the theme for Analog Frontiers is composed by the same person, Matt McCheskey!
@@mylifeingaming for what it's worth I massively enjoyed the tune in this episode.
Hopefully this series has a part on emulation and the amazing geniuses behind that scene. Those are the unsung heroes of retro gaming and a big part of its popularity today.
35:34
Thank you so much for what you do. I look forward to each new video you guys create. This one was especially great!
Guys....this is one amazing episode. I see so many people in here, names I’ve been hearing for years, people I’ve even talked to online but never seen. This is great. These people are so important to our community and it’s just wonderful that you’ve been able to such a great story together and put a spotlight on the amazing work they do for the community. Thank you for this fantastic episode. R
Bob is criminally under-subscribed.
5:12 sounds like someone needs to feel the bern
To be honest this section of Game Tech / Jason talking about people thinking he's rich, living within his (debt free) means and Doing it all while foregoing heath cover felt a bit misplaced.
@@Fattydeposit true, but it still sucks that it's implied that you need a corporate job to get standard non‐debt inducing health care. This man has lived in fear his whole life of debt, trying to do everything right and pay everything off. An ambulance alone in the US goes over 1000$ easily. Meanwhile our politicians can't even balance the national debt while here we are debating whether or not we can afford to go to the ER. It's shameful and almost every other developed country has already figured this out.
The production quality of this is unreal. Great episode, as always.
Great job guys. Thank you for putting in the hard work and attention to details in producing this.
I'm too young to remember most of these systems, the oldest console I owned when I was young was a ps1 so for me nostalgia doesn't come into it for most games.
Give it 8-10 years. You will feel it, and it will wreck you... in a good way =)
"I don't sign up for this"
Ok, that kid is a reincarnated person I'm sure.
Guys, this was really excellent content, as usual. Thank you for your service bringing these stories to the public eye in such a well-crafted way.
Excellent video that was well worth the wait! You guys never cease to amaze me.
Shoutouts to the ModFather, Jose Cruz
I wish some channel with a voice would confront Analogue with how they handled the Mega SG adaptors, it's sad everyone keeps praising them
What happened? I never heard of this.
Same. What happened with Mega SG adapters?
People had to wait about a year, with their questions and comments being either blocked or totally ignored, only to have all the adaptors show up all at once with no warning one morning and sell out within an hour at a higher price then originally planned. One batch only going to be made, all sold out within 45mins, lots including me didn't even have a chance to wake up, Analogue charges a sweet premium for their consoles promising backwards compatibility then doesn't deliver and moves on to the next project with no intentions of finishing the last project people paid for 100% then gaming channels do nothing but hype them up with everyone and the cycle continues. PEOPLE BUYING THE ANALOGUE POCKET BE WARNED THAT THOSE ADAPTORS YOU WERE PROMISED, YOU WON'T GET THEM.
Not to mention the shipping is not far off from the premium price of the console itself. I've ordered things overseas from Japan and Europe before with FREE SHIPPING. Let that sink in. I'm sure that shipping $$ partially goes into Analogue's bank account which is another crime that needs to be addressed in itself..
My Life in Gaming if your listening, look into it, might snuff out a small gaming scam if you can shed light on this
Really appreciate you guys’ extensive work in the scene. Great piece, can’t wait to see what you guys do next.
Thank you for taking such an in depth and thorough look at the retro game scene today, so looking forward to future minidocs!
Guys, this was awesome. Thanks for going through all this effort!
This is seriously one of the best things I’ve watched. Excellent job and can’t wait for more!
Such a brilliantly produced show. Can’t wait to see the next episode. Keep up the great work guys!
This documentary series is incredible-required viewing for folks who are new to the scene as well as a great refresher for those who have participated for years! I’m looking forward to the next episode!
EXCELLENT! Every time I open RUclips, I’m hoping to find videos like this one in my feed. They are so well done and informative with no wasted time. Thank you so much for your amazing dedication and quality!
I really enjoyed this video, I'm fascinated by all the different mods and experiences that we get from games in general. It was nice to see the two boys who were taking an interest in games that were even before my time. Great video, extremely well produced, I look forward to this series. Great job guys.
Thank you so much for putting so much effort in creating this documentary. I think it's the best video you've made so far. I hope enough people will see this masterpiece.
This was a fab mini documentary! The production value is great and I look forward to more!
Well that was another incredible and fun video guys. Very cool to see some of the faces behind some of favourite gaming scenes. Excellent stuff, simply can't wait for Part 2.
Knocking it out of the park with these. You really helped encapsulate and vocalize the varied passions behind retro gaming here.
What a perfect summary of such a complex moment in this medium. You've distilled all the elements of the hobby into a downright Campbellian Hero's Journey for retro enthusiasts. It really shows how much we all have in common and validates the desire to preserve this history.
Phenomenal. This channel just keeps getting better and better!
This is top quality guys, congratulations. Looking forward to part 2 and beyond.
Great documental! This and the one about M2 are at the highest level I have ever seen on a youtube exclusive video. They could even be broacasted on TV. Good work. I'll be waiting for the next one.
Can't wait for the next part! You guys did an AMAZING job on this. Those kids made me day
Jeremy Parish from Retronauts was a awesome surprise love that podcast i can sit and listen them for hours and get lost in nostalgia. You guys outdid yourselves with this one! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A very polished and well rounded documentary! Amazing work, thank you for this. Much love for the retro gaming community.
Can't wait for episode 2! :D Amazing edit, video and guests, as always :) hugs from Romania :) 10/10
This some of the best content on videogames I have ever seen on any medium. Amazing job man.
I like this video. It's kind of like a refresh melding past videos together. And it's nice to see some of the faces in the Retro scene, such as Miss Seleski from Retro Access which was retro console accessories on ebay I remember first viewing your content starting back in late 2014. As always, quality content.
Awesome doc, amazing interviews, exciting video. Loving your contents as always, can't wait for part 2 and new RGB masterclass episodes!
This has been my favorite piece of media i have consumed all year. Great work
Glad to see the love and enjoyment others get from this stuff. Great work on the videos as well. 👍
I believe this is the first documentary-type presentation of it's kind on this subject. Nicely done!
Great video. Looking back I see all these people bought together. And a lot of them Ive interacted with over the years in some form or another in my love of retro gaming and trying to get a better experience. This video is a great look at the overall picture of retro gaming and keeping old systems and information alive.
Wow, this was great. This kind of content it's a treasure for every videogame lover. Thank you for all your work, can't wait for next episodes 👏👏
Your videos make me so happy, guys. I could praise a million things about this one alone. Even the ad placement interacts so thoughtfully with RUclips as a presentation medium. It’s just so masterfully done, and it’s such positive content. Being a lifelong gamer became significantly more pleasant for me when I discovered this channel last year - you are the most genuine appreciators of this art form and you inspire me to enjoy it sincerely as well; reminiscent of how I enjoyed it when I was a kid, but also with the refined appreciation of an adult. Thanks for what you do!
You guys do such incredible work on this channel. Seriously. The most high quality gaming content on RUclips hands down
Your videos make me happy. This show JUST MAKES ME HAPPY!! That’s all there is too it. Thank you so much for your channel. Will always remain a subscriber as long as retro nostalgia is coursing through my veins. Thanks guys
You guys put a lot of effort into your videos. Care, thought, high production values. Nice job.
This is an absolute must watch.
You gave me so many new RUclips channels to watch that I didn't even know existed!!!! THANKS!!!
Great start to the series! Thanks for putting time into making awesome content.
Excellent storytelling and editing- this channel is just non-stop quality programming. I hope many people see this documentary series.
Amazing work here guys! Love seeing the young kids give their perspective on retro games, I'm having similar experiences with my nephew
Awesome documentary! Great editing and story telling. Great video all the way around. As soon as that mid video ad came on I was like, “Let it play.” I hope you get many views and continue doing these videos. Very professional 👍.
Every time i see a My Life In Gaming video it inspires me even more to play, mod, buy, read and loose myself in retro goodness!!! Excellent video keep 'em coming!!!
MY FAVORITE MLiG series hands down! Great video production.
Amazing job balancing your normal lives and your lives in gaming to be able to provide this type of content!
Really can't express how much I appreciate the effort and time you guys put into these videos, just outstanding work. Super interesting watch, consistent excellence as usual.
I just wanna say I love your guys videos thank you for the time and dedication you guys put into them!
This is a love letter to retro gaming. Always sorprise me the excellent quality content of the channel. Greetings from Argentina!
