[JEZZBOVISION]

@VinnysRapGameSnaps sounds good and thank you! When I saw Earthbound, I died on the spot. Everyone starts somewhere, I started withe games I played and loved as a kid then expanded.

ACTION 52 FOR 2 Frickin 99?????

Oh. My. God.

Wow, I hope whoever priced that is watching this and kicking themselves right about now.

[JEZZBOVISION]

@Bp323 Actually, it was either $2.99 or $3.99 (plus tax). I am actually thinking about applying for weekend part-time work hahaha... imagine some of the stuff they see!

[riazhaniff]

Awesome!

[JEZZBOVISION]

@riazhaniff That's what I'm talking about baby!!! now you have to check out my other video hahah :)

[ryanfoss]

I spit out my coffee when I saw dragon warrior, I shit myself when saw action 52, I started screaming and pulling out my hair when I saw earthbound, you fucking suck, and I hate you out of jealousy. ......That would never happen to me because there are a few retro gamers that work at my local value village and they always get dibs....Earthbound?! $3.99?! BAAAAWWWWWWW

@ryanfoss

Hey Ryan,

Your time will come. Keep visiting your local pawn shops or value v's regularly. Yesterday, I made friends with a gamer in my local area. He gave me a great price on lots of rare and vintage games but I found out to that he too as "gone to well" and found great gaming deals so to speak and drank handsomely on many occasions. I picked up snow bros from him and a bunch of rare atari games. Keep positive, your time as mentioned will come and you'll be like "YEAAAH BABY!!!"

[ryanfoss]

@JEZZBOVISION Yeah, I go game hunting pretty frequently and have found some pretty awesome finds.....The rarest games I've found are bomberman 2, castlevania legends, and a few rare genesis titles. If I ever found earthbound it would make my year. but earthbound and action 52 are pipe dreams, one time I went to value village and the worker (gamer) was like "Yeah, you missed out, we got some snes titles in yesterday; FF3, secret of mana, and chrono trigger, I grabbed 'em for myself".....

[JEZZBOVISION]

@ryanfoss That's pretty cool!!! finding bomberman 2 was a good catch for sure!!! I can't believe the workers scored those games but then again, if it was you or I working there, we'd probably be the same!!!

[ryanfoss]

@JEZZBOVISION true true. I can't really hate on other collectors, healthy competition is what keeps it interesting.

[JEZZBOVISION]

Thanks!!! I appreciate Snow Bros and the the rare Atari games like Miner 2049er II!!!

I am also starting to watch your reviews. I should make some as well at some point.

[atarileaf]

Very impressive collection. Glad I was able to add to it personally. Great meeting you again Jeremy :)

[JEZZBOVISION]

Thanks vintage!!! Actually, when I saw your comment, I actually thought, 'hmmm, how come I've never done one!', just finished some recent titles for PS3, Splatterhouse and Tron. The former was ok from a classic perspective if you like the older games on Sega. Tron was good from a design standpoint and had its moments but not the best on gameplay. Once novelty wears off, it doesn't carry much. Keep posted, I may do a review someday!

[vintagevideogamegeek]

Wow, you've got some real gems there! Planning to do any reviews?

[JEZZBOVISION]

Lol.. thanks Xeno!

I might need a filing system before a dragon but in the meanwhile have a minotaur around to guard the goods lol.

[xenoexistence]

You might need a dragon to guard that loot in the deepest dungeons of Windsor. Earthbound for that price? That's a classic game!
