Here's a MAP showing all the retro gaming stores in the area : goo.gl/maps/enQeGCAc1cmU5XeK7 - If I missed one, let me know and I'll add it. Thanks for watching!
Hi MetalJesus, " cool going to
have to go game hunting sonetime ", :)
Theres a neat looking Pink and white Building off 99 in Lynwood called Game-Xplosion, Idk if you've been to that one yet.
can you do a retro gaming store hunt in paris?
haha remember when seattle was a great city, now its just trash and riots haha xD and sjw with blue hair xD time to move out from these crazy leftie areas. haha.
Double Jump Video Games. You should check them out. They also have a RUclips channel.
Love me my Uwajimaya. Fun tour vid! I like how you also cover a few locales along with the stores.
I need to do the same type of video for your side of the state. That would be pretty fun. Maybe stay a day or two in Lake Chelan, my old stomping grounds too.
Dang John Riggs. Great w see you here commenting on your buddy metal Jesus rock's. Aka Jason
Metal Jason Rock's!!!
Yes
Huh
@@MrAgilla what???
Dude you got every mark on point! Im actually the one that bought that pikachu gameboy color at pink gorilla that you showed haha.
I’m going on vacation to Seattle the first week of August, so this is perfect timing for me! Thanks MJR!
Have fun! 😎
Take me
Vacation to Seattle Lolol. Good luck
I'm from Malaysia. Hopefully, once I'm fully vaccinated, I get to go to Seattle next year. Not only for the games, but for Seattle's rich alternative rock history, plus it's legendary coffee.
Skip the vax and come if you want.
Plus, all the strip clubs👌🏽
Hi fellow Malaysian
@@caligee7306 You are thinking of Portland
@@Livnglrg lmao you are totally right....haha looks like you know from experience eh? Haha🤝🏽
It is so surreal seeing just how many retro gaming stores there are here in our home state. I will definitely be taking some time to check some of these places out!
Dang, I love your travel videos! 🤘
always fun to have these virtual trips with metal jesus, from Pakistan so I'm always excited for such rides
"we have 13 stores here"
me: no i'm not jealous at all,why would i be ?
lol man i just laughing about if you have car line ...... regional North Queensland Australia if you dont own a car you are screwed 1300 kilometres to the nearest retro gaming shop
Glad to see Game Over games expanding out of Texas. I live about 5 minutes from the Houston location.
Great video and thanks for sharing some awesome stores!
You and I should do this for the Portland area!
@@MetalJesusRocks -- Not the OR side of Portland, that's a wasteland.
Do those stores sell on a budget?
🤣🤣🤣 just kidding
DoubleJump video games is a great store.
Coming back to this list frequently. I'm so glad it's still here a year later
Hey Jason - mad love for how you support local retail stores - they can certainly use all the help they can get!
I'm from Spokane, and in all honesty, these retro stores are the only reason I ever go to Seattle. We have NOTHING here in Spokane. Thank you for the video!
I mean, we have Game World. But that's about it
I really like the fact that you vary your content. Every episode is something different!
I was great meeting you a pink gorilla dude! I got a bit nervous but I’ve watched your videos for a couple of years now and they’re great!
We have 0 gaming stores in my area! Time to travel around the world and visit Seattle!
love the channel, been watching for a while and you're one of the few channels thats free of drama and hot takes
just a passionate gamers talking about games
Recently got into your channel after un-earthing my original PS2 from 2000 and started a collection of games again - love your channel and I’m learning a lot about other consoles and games I’ve never heard about 🔥 Rock on!
Federal Way Represent! If you're going to Federal Way, might as well keep going to Tacoma to Super Smash Games.
Super Smash, very cool place
My first trip to Seattle was in 2015 as a solo trip for basically hiking, craft beer, vinyl, cds and games.
Loved Al's, Zions Gate, Sonic Boom, silver platters, Pink Gorilla and everyday music. What a great city for exploring. Can't wait to go back one day....Cheers from Tampa, Florida.
I could spend a week in re-pc!
You visit Seattle dude, and I'll take ya on a tour 🤘
Seattle has been a place I've always wanted to visit. Some of these places will be a must for me when I go. Thanks for the list and commentary!
Damn I just left Seattle yesterday! Haha did get to check out the small Pink Gorilla and bought some stuff
These vids are so informative and so much fun to watch! Thanks MJR :)
Glad you like them!
I have been struggling last year with myself and had a lot of free time being home from work to recover. I always kind of stayed a gamer but there were periods…
Found you on RUclips and you reignited my passion for gaming like I was a teenager again. Helped me a lot to find my mojo again. Thanks for your videos and hope to see many more to come . Greetings from the Netherlands
Everytime you talk about Seattle. I cry. Tears of joy. You have definitely made it one of my MUST visit locations. Hopefully my fiancee and I can come up with the money to go up there for a few days.
Love seeing my favorite stores getting their much deserved attention! Thank you for supporting our community MJR!!!
Thank you for being a big figure in keeping retro alive. Been watching you for years. Ur always awesome man!
Really great overview of the stores love these visits... keep them coming 😬
Great tour. Enjoyed the game stores and extra stops. I live in Austin and was surprised about the Game Over location.
Great video! I'm originally from Tacoma, but have lived in LA the past decade -- so all these spots are new to me. We got some cool retro game stores out here like Game Dude, but it feels like there's far less in comparison to the Seattle-area. I'm planning on checking out the Pink Gorilla locations next time I visit family, and I'll certainly add these recommendations to that future excursion. Thanks! 👍🏿
Thank you for mentioning Al’s Music.
When I last visited Seattle, I accidentally discovered Al’s after visiting Pink Gorilla in the area. The workers were cool with me and it was awesome to learn one of them is from South San Francisco where I’m from.
I visited both Pink Gorilla Games stores. Both were great but especially liked the two workers at the International District because they were very friendly and let me see their recent PS2 trade-ins they got. I was PS2 hunting at the time.
Very satisfied with all three stores and would gladly visit again.
Excellent info to keep! and thanks for posting the links/info in the description!
Wow. Thanks for showing the Seattle video game stores. If I get to visit or tour there, I will look at these stores. I put it on my touring destination places.
Another castle is my favorite store to go to.
Friendly staff and a store full of so much cool stuff.
Love it!
I'm so glad you went to Al's. So many memories there, makes me so happy they've stuck around.
Love the game hunting vids! Next, we need another I hate u series vid!
Or even another Gamer Eats with DMP!
Love retro game stores. I luckily have a Game Xchange where I live, but I could always do with more.
Almost skipped over this video thought it looked uninteresting. Man, you never disappoint! I skipped over the “pick-up” videos for years too and then on a whim watched one and was hooked. I must’ve spent an afternoon binge watching them all! Anyway, I need to get my sticky buns up to Seattle! 👍 Video!
Thanks man, just moved from California to the Pugent Sound. Loving it here! Good to support our small business for gaming!
Your the man metal Jesus! My love for video games came back pretty much because of your early videos. I’m not a massive collector but I really appreciate retro games and consoles.
We need a show like Pawn Stars but only with gaming stuff.
That sounds like it would be successful.
Just don't invite that creep, Deniz to be on it. WATA is cancer to the gaming community.
Agreed!
Thank you for this great video. I love these store tour videos. Stuff like this is why I remain a Patreon supporter.
Thanks Daniel! I appreciate the support. 🤘
Y'all are so blessed with retro game stores in the Seattle area. The retro game stores in and near San Francisco had mostly vanished due to high rents ... but thankfully a few have started popping up recently. There's maybe just ... 6 or so ... within an hour radius of San Francisco. Sadly! And they're only really accessible by car, which is a bummer because SF is so wonderfully public transit heavy that many folks don't even own cars if they live in the city proper ... convenient for getting around SF, but not leaving it ...
This is so cool MJR!!! Thank you for sharing!
Visited my buddy in Seattle a couple years ago. Went to Pink Gorilla and Game Over. Met Kelsey and picked up some Zelda games, got a pretty much brand new in box Dreamcast at Game Over for like 60 bucks, and when I went to Nintendo to take a selfie, I met Reggie as he was walking in on his last day at Nintendo! It was an awesome trip.
You guys have it so good up there! Miami is practically a gaming store desert, so I have to live vicariously through these videos!
Always love seeing a new video come up from this channel!
Cool video! Really nice to see how it's like in your hometown. Greetings from the Netherlands
Awesome, gonna check some of these out that I didn't know about. Love retro gaming! There are 2 cool ones in downtown Renton too(I saw one on the map you made)! One is next door to the retro arcade.
Excellent video. I wish there was a guide to video like this one but for music gear! Very useful idea for the locals
I really need to get my butt to Seattle and visit these stores. Glad you are helping out game stores get recognition
Man, i love that kind of videos where you take us on a ride through certain (gamestore)-areas.
Here in germany Retro Stores or just „normal“ Gamestores are so hard to find.
You are lucky if the big cities had even a single one.
The most stuff is stocked on ebay. 😁
Many Greetings from germany
Take care 👊🏼
We need this to be a web series. MJR traveling America, in the VW Golf, giving everyone the run down of hunting in a particular town. Im sure you could easily find a good guide in each city with the relationships you've cultivated over the years. Some day man. I already have the perfect title. "MJR Plays America"
Another great video thank you for all the time and effort you put into making a high quality informative video together.I love the travel videos.
Nearly 20 yrs ago when I lived in Seattle, my roommates and I used to go to Al's after a night on the Ave and buy random metal cassettes to play on the boombox when we got home. I remember one time we picked up a Grim Reaper tape, and were rocking out to See You in Hell the rest of the night. Love your channel, and will def check out some of these shops next time I'm up that way.
I love the arcades! These all look like really good stores. That blue xbox was cool! I've never seen that before
Another Castle and Pick Gorilla are some of my favorites as well! Cool video!
Love these kinds of videos and really awesome to see all the stores around to visit, damn i'd have a field-day, every day!
Awesome video man… love your travel videos. They really capture the look and feel of the places you go nicely. Makes we really wanna go over and visit…haha.
These types of videos are pretty fun to make. Glad you dig 'em! 🤘
What a coincidence, I'm on vacation in Seattle right now for a month. Perfect timing for this vid to drop! Lol
Metal Jesus you rock!
Hey Metal Jesus! Long time subscriber here, just wanted to say I love your channel, your videos are always awesome, and Rock on!!!
YES this is the content I enjoy most on your channel!
I'd love to see more videos like this from you, even if it's not entirely game related. I've always wanted to visit Seattle and I'm hoping to very soon after I beat cancer!
I love your game hunting video's they are right up my street. Hope to visit Seattle someday.
The GPS portions of this video totally reminded me of Midnight Club: Los Angeles 😊.
Man your an awesome virtual tour guide for your city, I saw another comment about vacationing in Seattle, and I'm thinking that sounds awesome.
Awesome episode!! I'm on a road trip next couple of days, in oak harbor now. Will stop at a few stores before I head back to tri cities.
Fantastic video, as someone who lives in PAL land but collects imported NTSC games I would be in heaven visiting somewhere like this! Vacation to Seattle in the future me thinks!
🙂 Awesome!! Felt like I just took a road trip to Seattle. Thanks for the tour. ❤ that one thru Phoenix, Arizona too.
Just across this channel loving it i love watching people look at retro gaming from my era of gaming sega master system and mega drive and Snes
Much respect from Wales UK
Amazing video and amazing recommendations! Even though I live in Toronto, Seattle is definitely on my bucket list to visit! Grunge scene '90 's was the best and still my favorite! My childhood idol is buried there Bruce Lee and Brendon Lee! And now since I have start watching Jason's chanel, love and passion for video games is another reason to visit some stores! Hopefully next year...
seattle is a retro gaming paradise , stops Jesus a fan here in Brazil
Heck yeah, I'm definitely going to be making use of that map! Thanks for the great video!
Ah I just discovered your channel. Love your material and vibe!
Next time I'll consider these spots! What a day to be a hockey fan in Seattle aye bud?
Get ready to see a lot of hockey sweaters! Cheers from Canada.
Love your videos and your collection! I’m growing mine myself. We have some retro gaming stores in CT but have to do some traveling some time!
Definitely want to go to Seattle and check out all these places! If I'm ever heading up there someday, I'll be sure to use this video as a reference point!
Another great video! Thanks, MJR!
Thanks for the video MJ! I'm over in the Wenatchee valley, making a trip to the westside soon to visit pink gorilla for a SNES fix.
I tune into to this channel for the games...but damn the standard of production and editing in this video is fantastic.
When the border opens...and crossing it is easy...Im going to make a point to take a weekend and drive on down from Vancouver BC and hit all these places. Love retro stuff!
My wife and I recently visited Seattle and based on your video went to the International district, ate at Uwajimaya and stopped at the Pink Gorilla and had a great time - so thanks for that. We also discovered there is too much to see in Seattle so we’re looking forward to our next trip…
going to these stores is like going to Disneyland for me lol. i live in the island across the water from the city and absolutely love showing my friends these stores. great having an experienced collector in the area!!!
Great to see MJR giving some support to these great local businesses - especially during this tough times for retail.
Man its a whole different feeling entering a retro gaming shop and just seeing classics everywhere!
Grew up in Seattle area, and its so cool to see all these places I know! Didnt know our area was known for its retro game stores, or how lucky I am to be near them all!
I'm visiting Seattle in October! I'll be hunting for video games! I love this video! This is the reason I'm coming.
Thank you for finally giving Al’s some love!
I live two blocks away and go there all the time for records, video games, and art house/b-movies.
Also I know you collect vinyl. Have you been to Neptune Music (right below the Neptune Theater)? It’s like half a block from Pink Gorilla and it’s rad.
Loved the video....very informative!
3:48 I bet 8bitguy would be in retro-brighting heaven if he was given access to that museum.
7:09 Doggy: "Hello Jason, Yes I am the owner, supervisor, and employee of this place, feel free to rub my head and back while you check the games, Woof !!!!"
Thanks for the video! It was a lot of fun!
I grew up in the Tacoma, Seattle area in the late 80s and early to mid 90s. I miss the Pacific Northwest. A lot has changed since I left. Gonna plan a trip!
I’m going to Seattle for the first time next month for a friend’s wedding so I’m absolutely going to check some of these out! Great recommendations!
love this kind of video! just wish i was near Seattle!
Love these videos, MJR. I would love to go to Seattle so I can check out these stores. I wish Houston had these types of stores.
Loved this video MJR! I hope you get to come to England one day so we can go video game hunting!!
$425 for Shantae Pirate's Curse on Switch. Jesus WayForward, just reprint it.
I just bought 4 Xbox One games for 60$! I'd only it sell to get more other games.
I actually just picked it up on my trip to NYC. They even made the GBC version reprinted by limited run. Both were $60 new. That price is insanity
@Press play on tape Literally not an excuse
games should not cost $425
Limited Run Games is a bullshit service. Especially lately
I have a physical copy and I agree it should be reprinted so more people can have it. There's no reason the physical release of this game should approach GBC Shantae in terms of price.
@@fragotron Well aren't you super edgey and hardcore.
Wow! I'm shocked!! My very first computer on minute 4.10, thank you very much Jason, or metal Jesus, thank you so much for making me happy with an image that opened a container full of good memories!
