Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Big thanks to Pixel Vault Games in Ontario California for all the help with what I needed to get my retro NES system going . Great place and good prices if you’re in the area .
Retro gaming nostalgia overload! It’s amazing how good they built these consoles. The fact that they still work decades after is mind-blowing. Me and my brother have an NES in our collection too. Have fun with your system and great video as always!
The consoles work too bad the battery in all the games are dying now and have been for years which means u can’t save ur games, however a quick solution is to remove the battery and install a new one for another 30 years
I'll never forget the Christmas I got my NES. My mom was a single parent, so we never had much money. Getting a Nintendo as a gift was pretty much out of the question as they were just too expensive. However, with some help from family and friends, my mom was able to get us a Nintendo that Christmas. Wow, what a surprise that was! This really brought back some great memories!
I had a similar upbringing. single mom on a fixed income. it took me 3 years to convince her to get me one. We had a local chain of stores called Jamesway. there were two of them. one in the mall and one across town. The day I got my NES it was April '89 at the Jamesway in the mall. they were having a sale on it. meanwhile the Jamesway across town was burning down. i'll never forget that day. hooking it up to our ancient 1974 RCA TV. I hooked it up myself. bad connections, the picture was fuzzy, but it worked!
This is one of the most wholesome vlog episodes I have seen in a long time! Please do more of this! As a gamer myself and in my 30's, this brings nothing but nostalgia.
Let me know if you find one, I miss the 80's myself. That was when cartoons were cartoons and awesome tv shows and of course playing nintendo with friends. Priceless.
Nintendo has been around since the 1890's. They used to make hanafuda (Japanese flower) playing cards and their most popular set (drumroll) had Disney characters on them! The Famicom was kinda neat, the 2nd controller has a microphone and Zelda used it. There was a character in the game called "Pols Voice" who would be scared away if you yelled into the mic. Anyway, looking forward to more video game content from you. :D
My goodness... when life was simpler as a child... I have fond memories of having competitions with my brothers alongside with my mom, who often times would beat us on Mario Bros. She had no idea what she was doing, but just pushing buttons and beginner's luck! Great memories!
I loved this! It was a great crossover episode of things I watch most on YT, The Woo and Retro Gaming vids (The Game Chasers, AVGN etc). I especially enjoyed watching you play and your reactions. More plz.
Really enjoyed this episode! I wouldn’t mind seeing some retro gaming from time to time. My wife and I are in our 40’s as well and relate to many of your references and childhood memories. Thank you for the quality entertainment! We would love a meet and greet if you ever pass through Chattanooga!!!!
I'll never forget when my dad brought the Nintendo home for us one random day in 1985. I was only 7, but I knew we were poor, so this was a BIG deal for us. (My mom wasn't too happy he bought it, lol) We then proceeded to spend the next decade fighting with him over playing "next." LOL, my dad was a big kid... his favorite was probably Mike Tyson's Knock Out. Aside from Super Mario Bros, my favorite was Excitebike. I didn't really know what I was doing, but boy did I love designing the track :)
My dad loved playing Mario bro after retirement he would play for hours my mom always arguing with him spending too much time on video games. My story is the same as yours. Thank you.
@@TheDailyWoo get yourself a crt television the graphics will look a million times better than on a hd tv. I know it sounds redundant but those consoles were made with tube TVs in mind.
Watching Adam reliving his childhood is so awesome! I was literally yelling at my phone...NO IT’S THE FIRST PIPE! NOOO YOU MISSED THE FLOWER!!! hahaha so much fun!
My parents were broke but we always had the essentials like roof over our heads and food on the table My cousins didn't want to have anything to do with me but a select few became my friends. So when my parents surprised me with a freaking NES (despite there being super nintendo and sega's at the time) I was so happy I was crying. I believe I was 6 or 7 years.old.
Same with me. We got a nes when the super nes came out. I got a genesis when the 64 came out, we were always one generation behind and happy as hell to have it. I try to explain it to my son how lucky he is to have not one but 2 curent gen console's. He appreciates it but dosnt know the struggle. Lol.
@@OREGONGAMER503at least you had the real machines , in my country in the 90s most kids including me had "famiclones" or "nesclones" a booleg consols of NES , but we were happy .
Man, that is sweet! I totally get what your saying. You just like myself and thousands of others spent countless hours playing those. Thanks for the share Adam. Two Thumbz
Agreed, I’m a thumbs person myself. But I guess if it works for you, then have at it. I was more distracted by the stretch on the screen. It was like watching the game through a fisheye lens. Needs to choose a 4:3 ratio.
Something tells me adam never heard of the 21 frame rule. Well if a bus arrives at the terminal.ahh we get it. Haa yea you can get fined in 38 states for holding the controller like that
AWESOME!!!!! I keep hoping you would finally get a NES! And you've talked about Legendary Wings so many times I knew you'd be getting it! So happy for you buddy!
This Takes Me Back To 89’ When My Parents Bought Me My First NES Good Old Childhood Days Opening Up That BOX On My Birthday The 8 Year Ole Me Enjoyed Every Moment 🙂 R.I.P. Pops I Will Never Forget This ❤️
That’s very cool to see Adam The Woo and Jerry James of Ontario History Vlogs together at Pixel Vault in Ontario, CA. I thought of Jerry at the beginning of this video because he has featured this store before and then what a surprise to see him in your vlog Adam. I highly recommend his channel for some cool history of the Inland Empire area of Southern California.
Contra was a fav of mine: Remember the way to get free extra lives? I do.... Enter: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A and Start.... Have fun Adam!
wasnt it a,b,a,b select start??? My memory is a bit rusty so I may be wrong. Also I think that code was for super contra, but once again i could be wrong lol. Brings back memories for sure!!
I know someone who can use ur nitendo if you arent using it.If you want to send it to me let me know.😃👍👍✌✌Write me back and id send you the address if you want to get rid of it.
So much nostalgia. I wish there were stores like this around me. There used to be two retro video games stores nearby, but sadly both closed. The last one closed due to robberies, and also COVID complications. Now there are no more stores nearby that take or sell vintage games. :'(
@@bigdawg8412 exactly blowing on the cartridge's can actually cause rust damage on the pin connectors so use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip thats the best way to clean nes games.
Absolutely should do more videos like this. Was so fun seeing you get excited playing Mario. Just put a huge smile on my face. This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours in a very long time. Just seeing and hearing that childhood enthusiasm and nostalgia coming out.
Your the offensive one if you think about it. This generation of gamers main place for games back in the days use to be the arcades. And how are your right hand placed on thoose? Yeah exactly... Besides he plays the game better than many holding the control "the right way"...
I remember playing Nintendo for hours and hours in the mid-1980s. Awesome memories of when life was so much simpler, a lot more fun, with no bills to pay just playing games for hours on end.
I remember the Zelda NES game. It had a gold case unlike the typical gray. The neatest part was that it had a chip in it that allowed you to save your progress unlike the other NES games where you had to play the whole game in one sitting because you couldn't save.
The tv picture looks odd because it’s on “pan and scan” or something similar. It’s stretching the edges of the picture to fill the screen. You can turn that setting off.
This video was so awesome. I grew up in the 80's and remember playing all those games. Please continue to make more videos like this. That store and owner were super cool.
Although the SNES is my favorite console of all time, I think the NES might have had the biggest impact on me and my love for video games. I had an Atari 2600 from 1983 to 1988/89, but the NES was a huge step in the evolution of video games. Super Mario Bros, the Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, Mega Man, etc. It was such a fantastic console, and it's too bad collectors have forced the over inflation of prices of retro games.
Yeah after I posted this I started thinking about his age and figured it must be because he grew up in the world of arcades...made alot of sense after looking at it that way
If I was in Ontario (which I am, but Canada) this is a store I would visit and love. Amazingly friendly customer service and a true joy to watch. :) Thank you!
Isn’t it amazing that all the old stuff still works after 30+ years??? “Don’t make em like they used to” nothing like Nintendo 👊🏻 can’t wait for Epic Universe!
I love this video! The cool thing and coincidence is that I just brought my NES out of the attic after 20 years and started playing with it 2 weeks ago. I am now learning piano using the Miracle that uses the NES that I got for Christmas in 1990. Thanks Adam!!!
If you haven’t already, your tv is stretching the image to fit the game, there may be a setting to change it to the original 4:3 aspect ratio. I also saw that Pixel’s has Archon, great classic game! It’s like chess but you actually battle to win your moves.
Beyond good.adam is doing great.he inspired me. To lose weight. But i was starving myself. I lost 20 lbs my 1st month. And i work out 2 hours a day. My mental health has been better . just from lifting weights. Very proud of adam.!!
Great video! I turned 30 this year and I've been collecting NES games for 20 years or so. I have about 180 NES games. No duplicates! My NES also works the same being that the games don't need to be pushed down to work
I’d love to see more game store videos and play throughs of various games, it’s satisfying to watch someone so happy playing them. I’ve been collecting retro games for around 12 years now. I love this stuff
i have an nes system that's been sitting in my storage unit in garden grove since i moved to san bernardino 5 yrs. ago (long story). i'm moving back to orange county next month and you've inspired me to dig my system out and fight to save zelda once more!
Hey Adam, Get yourself a real CRT TV. Look for a SONY TRINITRON... The bigger the better!!! And yes, they are bloody heavy but worth the effort. Now you're playing with power, NINTENDO POWER!!!
That weird rubber band stretchy then stretch back effect on your screen has to do with a setting on the TV. Can't remember exactly which. Might be worth getting an old CRT TV so you can play Duck Hunt, heck...just play them all on it!
a CRT TV would also have a cleaner picture without the LCD upscaling/interpolation visual artifacts _and_ not have the 1-2 frames of input lag that LCD tvs have, CRT is 100% superior way to play these old consoles but i guess if Adam just wants to blow off steam and relive some gaming memories the LCD tv is "good enough"
So glad Adam you got an NES!!! Would've helped you get one had I known you needed one (I collect these on the side) but support your channel here in Tampa nonetheless. Enjoy your new vice, lol. I don't normally post comments but you're like that virtual buddy that DOES what we all WANT to do...live life, kudos brotha for living your dreams. So, I thouggt it was worth saying. Also, a quick shoutout to Angry Video Game Nerd (a.k.a.: AVGN) and Metal Jesus Rocks, 2 RUclipsrs whom both focus on NES reviews and nostalgic throwback from the 80s we all know and love, just though they might be worth checking out. Thanks for all you do, keep doing what you love, my man. Peace & God Bless :):):)
You are killing it with your videos recently Adam. Energy is good and you seem happy. I always love the ones where you at least start at home, it feels like visiting a friends house! And to answer your question, sure I’d be down for some casual old school gaming content. Thank you so much for your videos!

There is a retro game store in the city of orange: ptrgames.com
The owner seems super nice!
How much was all that?
My fiancé just said wow he looks like he lost some weight looking good big guy
reminds me of that episode where they brought in an authentic NES into Pawn Stars and Rick went on telling the history of the piece.
That guy behind the counter seems like a real genuinely nice guy. That’s how you get return customers
He is a great guy. He has time for you and makes you feel good inside when chattting to him
Would love to stop by and spend some cash there!
Seems like such a great guy!!! Would love to be his customer!
@Mike Tiwaz ........its wilson from castaway....................................
He’s on camera on RUclips. It wouldn’t be in his best interest to be anything but. This is free advertisement for his business.
I'd like to see you make a series out of you playing the games. A flood of childhood memories came back to me as you were playing.
Retro gaming nostalgia overload! It’s amazing how good they built these consoles. The fact that they still work decades after is mind-blowing. Me and my brother have an NES in our collection too. Have fun with your system and great video as always!

Those of us over 40 just enjoyed a chuckle.
A few of us would get the reference
@@TheDailyWoo I sure did. You sure brought me back to my childhood in this video. Thanks for this.
Most Definitely!! I loved the 80's
Love Mario Bros cereal
I’m 35 and I still remember those cereals :)
Want more of this Adam... its nostalgic for sure... i say do it when your in the mood, so yiu don't burn out. Love the vids and take care.
RC Pro Am was AWESOME!!! I remember that sound and the oil slick. Excite Bike was a great game too!
As young as Adam’s heart is, he doesn’t seem to play games regularly , it’s interesting to see you appreciate these vintage games
This is one of the most wholesome vlog episodes I have seen in a long time! Please do more of this! As a gamer myself and in my 30's, this brings nothing but nostalgia.

You and me both

Ah, yes, the wonderful 80's! 🥰
Great Scott!
Can I come too? The 21st century blows.
Blowing on those cartridges is a huge part of my youth too. So iconic!
Just Call Me Annie favorite game
G TV Graham Robinson 😉👍
Never blow into the cartridges! The water vapor from your breath helps make a better connection, but can ultimately damage the cartridge.
Greg's Game Room Thanks for the tip! 👍🙂
I thought it was the silliest thing and didn't want other kids blowing on my stuff for several reasons.
You should 100% do some retro gaming playthoughs. I love this stuff
I enjoyed this from the nostalgia perspective as well as the "seeing the genuine excitement' in your face. stay safe and excellent

It’s funny how blowing on the games was just something we discovered, I don’t think anyone ever told us we just figured it out. 😂

Picture looks a bit wacky - just need to adjust the aspect ratio to 4:3. Enjoy the sweet memories!
The way you hold the controller is the most offensive thing I've ever seen.
Ikr. Just horrible.
hahahahahahahahahaha he was actually pulling it.
I have a former friend that did that! WTF!
Holding the controller like that was the 80s version of reverse camera control. It is very weird but many people do this.

Besides he plays the game better than many holding the control "the right way"...
This was an instant thumbnail like.
You're overhand player! Nostalgia is a powerful drug, I still play Nintendo to this day and love it
I remember playing Nintendo for hours and hours in the mid-1980s. Awesome memories of when life was so much simpler, a lot more fun, with no bills to pay just playing games for hours on end.
I remember the Zelda NES game. It had a gold case unlike the typical gray. The neatest part was that it had a chip in it that allowed you to save your progress unlike the other NES games where you had to play the whole game in one sitting because you couldn't save.
Chip=small battery
It wasn't a chip, it was a calculator battery to keep the cartridge energized just enough to keep your progress.
The tv picture looks odd because it’s on “pan and scan” or something similar. It’s stretching the edges of the picture to fill the screen. You can turn that setting off.
I used to sit and watch my older brother play this game for hours! And I just learned that I still can 🤣.

@@synical13 only thing is, he’s doing pretty good while holding it like that. He comes from arcade days.
we called this "claw-style" when we were kids. usually the hardcore gam3r guys would hold it like this and claim it had an advantage.
We couldn’t afford Nintendo when I was a kid; we had the Sears Atari system instead
Although about 8-10 years after it came out, my brother purchased one
This should've been pinned
The quality of those cartridges in that guy's store was astounding. I'm a collector, and it's hard to see quality that good and clean.

Isn’t it amazing that all the old stuff still works after 30+ years??? “Don’t make em like they used to” nothing like Nintendo 👊🏻 can’t wait for Epic Universe!
My Atari VCS still works. My original NES stopped in a couple of years, but then I did play it a lot more.
He bought a refurbished unit, trust me that most of them break at some point.
My husbands PS4 had the “light of death” they call it and better off buying a new one. Just like TVs and cars fragile as heck
I love this video! The cool thing and coincidence is that I just brought my NES out of the attic after 20 years and started playing with it 2 weeks ago. I am now learning piano using the Miracle that uses the NES that I got for Christmas in 1990. Thanks Adam!!!
Nice! I need to make a drive up there some time. The store and guy is so chill, very down to earth
If you haven’t already, your tv is stretching the image to fit the game, there may be a setting to change it to the original 4:3 aspect ratio. I also saw that Pixel’s has Archon, great classic game! It’s like chess but you actually battle to win your moves.
Adam. You lost weight bro! Looking good. Keep it up.
Beyond good.adam is doing great.he inspired me. To lose weight. But i was starving myself. I lost 20 lbs my 1st month. And i work out 2 hours a day. My mental health has been better . just from lifting weights. Very proud of adam.!!
Oh sweet! The original Legend of Zelda and Punch Out were my jam back in the day. I remember Top Gun and Duck Hunt dog made see red, lol.
Punch Out was my favorite. Fighting Tyson was like a white knuckle ride, just waiting for that one punch to knock you out.
Watching you play was the best! Flood of memories from childhood of my friends and I playing with the same reactions.
Great video! I turned 30 this year and I've been collecting NES games for 20 years or so. I have about 180 NES games. No duplicates! My NES also works the same being that the games don't need to be pushed down to work
This is so Cool and Fun! Was that Einstein's doppelganger?......
Hi Adam, may have to bring Big The Foot inside so he doesn’t miss you! I’m thinking you might be in there a while 😊👍
Didn’t Nintendo start out with a card game 100 years ago?
Yes
I’d love to see more game store videos and play throughs of various games, it’s satisfying to watch someone so happy playing them. I’ve been collecting retro games for around 12 years now. I love this stuff
i have an nes system that's been sitting in my storage unit in garden grove since i moved to san bernardino 5 yrs. ago (long story). i'm moving back to orange county next month and you've inspired me to dig my system out and fight to save zelda once more!
Hey Adam, Get yourself a real CRT TV. Look for a SONY TRINITRON... The bigger the better!!! And yes, they are bloody heavy but worth the effort.
Now you're playing with power, NINTENDO POWER!!!
I do...:-)
Me too
I had a Sony Trinitron
@@Vegasguy79 lol what. I have 3 of them in my games room.
@@Vegasguy79 yeah in the past 15 years houses magically got just small enough to not be able to incorporate an extra 4 feet of space
Those people were awesome. Now, our friend, Adam, can enjoy. After all, this is National HAPPINESS HAPPENS Day.🤠🌈
That weird rubber band stretchy then stretch back effect on your screen has to do with a setting on the TV. Can't remember exactly which. Might be worth getting an old CRT TV so you can play Duck Hunt, heck...just play them all on it!
It has to do with the aspect ratio and can easily be changed.
Should be a 4:3 setting in the menu. That stretch is horrible, I still can’t believe any tv ever used that method of filling a screen.
a CRT TV would also have a cleaner picture without the LCD upscaling/interpolation visual artifacts _and_ not have the 1-2 frames of input lag that LCD tvs have, CRT is 100% superior way to play these old consoles but i guess if Adam just wants to blow off steam and relive some gaming memories the LCD tv is "good enough"
I love how i just watched the whole video and when you started playing i was like go go go you got this!
So glad Adam you got an NES!!! Would've helped you get one had I known you needed one (I collect these on the side) but support your channel here in Tampa nonetheless. Enjoy your new vice, lol. I don't normally post comments but you're like that virtual buddy that DOES what we all WANT to do...live life, kudos brotha for living your dreams. So, I thouggt it was worth saying. Also, a quick shoutout to Angry Video Game Nerd (a.k.a.: AVGN) and Metal Jesus Rocks, 2 RUclipsrs whom both focus on NES reviews and nostalgic throwback from the 80s we all know and love, just though they might be worth checking out. Thanks for all you do, keep doing what you love, my man. Peace & God Bless :):):)

My NES was lost to time years ago but I still have my SNES.
Adam Nintendo is from the like 1800's they started as a card game company. The company did NOT start in 1983.
Thanks for posting, brings back so many good memories as a kid growing up in the 80's!
You are killing it with your videos recently Adam. Energy is good and you seem happy. I always love the ones where you at least start at home, it feels like visiting a friends house! And to answer your question, sure I’d be down for some casual old school gaming content. Thank you so much for your videos!
The company did not start in 1983. Nintendo is like 125 years old just FYI.
@@Vegasguy79 we know that, but thank you.
@@klmeyer9907 So smart.
18:10 That's why they call him Adam the Woo.
i hate when people talk in that pattern...such as often in a store....
I love this throwback. Keep Having fun with it!
I absolutely love that your first game system in years is a NES system. So nostalgic and so Woo.
