A few decent titles. Good Variety.

Solid box, better than any of the ones I have gotten.

the Boo plushie is awesome.

pretty cool mix of games in this one it was fun to see everything you got

I’m doing a huge trade for Go Go HyperGrind, Chibi-Robo, Metal Gear Twin Snakes, an Samurai Jack Shadow of Aku. I’m super nervous about it

Don't think I've ever seen a box with 5 games, nice variety for sure.

Where are those wall white shelves from?😮

So, are they worth it or am I better off buying random lots of games from Ebay?

Thanks for sharing these retro game boxes. I enjoy your commentary and the quick delivery. I do suggest taking high res pictures to show off the quality of the cartridges. Either way good job and keep the videos coming!

Those handheld games look like something you would find in a dollar bin at a local game shop. Yo noid is a good one though.

Donkey Kong 2 made it worth it for sure.

They ripped you off 😂

That was a pretty good box! Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is fun on the n64, never played the GBA version! And they did great sending you Donkey Kong Country 2. A really awesome game and it by itself is almost a $30 game

Hey that seems like a decent box. I love me some card games.

Fair warning, long comment incoming. I have seen the kinds of videos you are talking about and I understand where you're coming from. Everyone has a story with their game collections. We go through phases as collectors. I was a game collector for 15 years and I can certainly tell you that I was not the same person I was 15 years ago. In a way, I never "grew up" because I started collecting retro games at 10 years old. For the past 15 years, I amassed a collection of 3,000 retro games on a very small budget. Console games, PC games, vintage computers, arcade games, everything. But a big problem was that I would buy a game, put it on a shelf and never play it. I had games that I bought 10 years ago and never played even once. I became a shelf collector. Not all game collectors play their games and I fell into that trap. I bought so many games because I was mildly curious about them and I was spending very little money, about $3 per game on average. There was an opportunity cost of finding a game for a very cheap price that I thought I would never see again. In a way it was an addiction of getting a good deal and buying just to buy. Overtime I felt fatigued and overwhelmed because I was constantly surrounded by a large game collection. My collection continued to grow, but my space did not. I was constantly surrounded by walls of games that I had no real connection to. I knew little to nothing about them. Sure I always had my favorite games that I always loved to played. But I had a massive backlog of well over 1,000 games that I had never played before. I'm making this sound awful but it took me literally years to accept the fact that I needed to stop collecting and start downsizing. I no longer felt proud of my collection and in some ways, I felt ashamed. I have watched lots of videos on people selling off their game collectors to try to understand this phenomenon for myself. I think the videos you are referring to are a visual reflection of the challenges and frustrations that people have had with collecting games over a long period of time. They had spent years collecting, spent thousands of dollars and now they are ready to move on. They are not necessarily telling the viewer to sell their own collections, but rather these collectors are telling their stories. Most of their friends and family aren't into the same hobby so they just want to be heard by someone on UA-cam who understands what they are going through. These videos may also be an indirect response to this "show off" culture where people brag about how many games they have or how much their game collections are worth. I remember the UA-cam retro game community in the late 2000s and it was certainly smaller and more humble back then. Grading video games existed but it wasn't a popular service. The expensive games were worth thousands, not tens of thousands. There wasn't as much pressure to own or to play certain games. There were hardly any videos of people selling off their large game collections. There wasn't as much jealousy and hate. Everything seemed simpler. You are probably already be aware of this, but I'm just saying that the times were significantly different. Overtime there has been this growing "competition" where UA-camrs are trying to compete for the algorithm and outperform other channels with clickbait titles. Retro game collecting has become significantly more popular and in some ways it is a cut throat competition. I have seen it first hand. Collectors can go nuts over buying games for a good deal and aren't afraid of screwing over someone else. If there is any hate in this hobby I feel it is because this is not the same hobby it was when these collectors started. I think overtime more and more people grew to focus more on obtaining a massive game collection and not so much playing games that they already had. We involved ourselves in a culture of continually accumulating more and more stuff and rarely or never selling anything. Collectors offload their collections because there must be some kind of struggle to some degree. The most prevalent reason as to why someone would want to sell their game collection (if they are financially stable) is because they are frustrated with the fact that they have too many games that they don't play. I have heard this time and time again and have watched short term and long term collectors exit the hobby for this reason. Some of this "hate" you are seeing is coming from ex-collectors who have just exited the hobby entirely and are just glad to move on. Some people are just gamers now, some have quit gaming entirely. You have made it clear in this video that you don't feel the same way and that is perfectly fine. I liked what you had to say. For me, I hope to continue downsizing my collection to a much more reasonable number. I still love video games but I am no longer buying more. I really want to get back to a smaller collection that it much more curated to my personal tastes. Sorry for the long comment but I have a lot of thoughts on this topic!

Fully shots at Iowa retro gaming dad

I think alot of people starting collecting when Covid hit. Now a few years later when the things have calmed down, they ask why do I have this stuff now? I know alot of people see the prices now and think its a good time to sell. My issue was just buying crap I didn't really need. Now my collection really is what I want to play or what I'm attached too. I still collect but Im really more focused on what I collect. Great video Joe. Great to listen to other people's opinions on these subjects.

I am by no means a serious collector, I have gotten nearly all the games I want for my game consoles. But it still makes my blood boil when I see resellers buying up everything to sell at insane prices.

Not a bad box of games for sure. I love finding games that still baffle me they exist.

Awesome mix. Michael Jordan is cool just for the nostalgia itself. Xenophobe is a fun early classic. Not a bad port at all. 📦👾

Cool ass mix ! I actually have been wanting to snag that MJ game a while, but I always forget about it LOL... Happy Collecting !!!

Your unboxings of these helped me pick Retro Game Treasures as a subscription, so thank you very much.😄

Cool, Xenophobe looks pretty cool!

I love your collection! You’ve probably spent a heck of a long time collecting all those games, I am starting my own GameCube collection, I’ve already owned a silver GameCube, and recently bought a black GameCube a few days ago along with a few games! I currently have 25 games collected an Im working on buying a box for my GameCube since I don’t have a console box for it, I dream of having a collection as big as yours! Probably the biggest GameCube collection I’ve seen yet and the best!

I wish I still had Lost Kingdom. I liked that one. Short and sweet.

That was a fun video! I enjoyed seeing what you got in the box, I'll have to look them up and maybe sign up. Adventure Island is an awesome game, I have great memories of it!

Vortex was originally the transformers generation 2 game that got cancelled.

Incredible box! Lol. That Game and Watch Gallery is a great one! Oh and adventure island! Nice scores!

Game and Watch Gallery 3 is a great game! That is a definitely a keeper!

The incredibles isn’t bad on GBA. Good stuff. I have too many games myself. Lol. I’ll live vicariously through you on this stuff.

Just discovered this great channel! Awesome Video! In your opinion, which is the better service for retro games? VGM or RGT?

Cool I have hundred gamecube games but now in 2023 with hack just a gecko + sd card a memory card and all games from Free 😊 Good collection for sure

Beyond impressive collection! Especially considering the condition of all of your games. Easily one of my favorite collection videos I’ve watched. Inspiring to see!

Boo is definitely my pick from this box. Spider-Man is an ok but not AMAZING 😅.

Wgo puts trips and their kids before a box of random game cartridges? Get your priorities together, man

I want that boo plush. Lol the games are just meh, but still. It adds to the collection lol

Man I was worried you threw in the towel for this series. Glad to see your still rolling on with it! Most of that boxes value was in the plush instead of the video games.

Great video. Some ok games, I think the Boo plush was the best part though. lol

Why the sports games? Why? I must know.

My last box was the lowest valued one I received. The games were ok but I'm considering putting a poll whenever I get the next box. 🎮👾

Who needs a dreamcast when you have a GameCube?

Dying by meth is better than not having a GameCube

I’ve been considering getting video games monthly. I think I’ll stick to retro game treasure

I love the Wario and Waluigi in the background! About time my bois get some love. Kind of a disappointing box man:/ hopefully next month is better brotha

I can speak for myself, I have def received a rough box or two over the years from RGT or VGM. In my situation RGT came through more than VGM, but I have seen others with the opposite... My fav this month, no doubt that SHIRT FOR THE WIN... WU! ... Happy Collecting!!!

Definitely a box full of variety for sure.

Here is a pro tip if you are not try to collect every game on which ever console. On the list of ds games for example, mark off the games you don't want sent. I do this alot for sports titles and others.🎯📦

Yo Noid is such a fun one, I picked it up off ebay. Had a blast renting it as a teen.🎉

Yo Noid was one of my favorite games as a kid. Rest of the box was trash though.

Ouch… tough box this time. Like you said at the end. Handheld games are tough to get in these boxes, especially DS/3DS. I totally agree that their website needs a massive upgrade. You can always share a google doc with them for your larger collections. I have been way happier with VGM than I was with RGT from a value standpoint but I think a lot of it depends on the systems you are selecting. But you are right, with a little more effort on their website it would make the service a bit more attractive for collectors.
