CHARITY SHOP GAME HUNTING (BIG SURPRISE)
I’m back bro , Love the videos keep em coming ?
I liked and subscribe
I use the trading card pages in a binder for mine. I find it quick and easy. Anyhow, that box looks amazing.
started playing BG1 for the first time on ps4, and as a life-long console gamer i found the controls to be fine, in fact im enjoying it so much it’s got me lookin up d&d lore vids on utube….cloakwood was bullshit tho honestly
Im still on PS4 and Xbox One, given up on playing the latest or recent games.
Totally understand, very little has come out to warrant upgrading to a series or PS5. The faster load times are one benefit but other then that, I’m struggling to justify the series X purchase
me too. PS4, switch to a lesser degree and now I'm starting to enjoy PC. I feel zero desire to get PS5.
That rugby game is £10 in CEX now
Bloody typical 😂
@GriffosRetroGaming Haha always the way mate
Loved the creative intro mate 😁 need to do more 👍
Cheers Sean, I’m gonna do some more of these types of video
What a lovely gesture and i hope them sweets got to the kids and didnt end up on your desk hahahaha
Always nice to get a parcel. How dare you suggest that I might have nicked the sweets…….i did think about it in honesty haha
12:30 Now this was a fun surprise to see in my recommended, but the staff member in question is in fact watching this video! I'm glad you enjoyed Etrian Odyssey IV and hearing that you have been wanting it for a while makes it worth giving up myself lol Great video!
And duuum
Lovely stuff therr, especially the alike in the dark strategy guide! I've never that series of games at all but I'd like to
Your not a fan of gravesend then 😂. Nor played a dungeon crawler for years, sounds interesting. Great pick ups.
Hahaha it’s erm, yeah, it’s ok 😂 I recommend Etrian and definitely check out Legend of Grimrock, I really enjoyed it
Lol great intro matey.. almost like an episode of Wish You Were Here 😂 Nice to see Burnout Revenge in the background.. great game 😎👍
Haha I wish I had Judith Chalmers armies mate haha Yeah not a racing fan but Burnout is brilliant, all out fun
Have you been offered a job by the Gravesend tourist board mate🤣 Great intro Alex Bit of a trek for you that wasn't it 👍
I’m probably banned from Gravesend now 😂 Yeah we have family down there so I killed 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak. Hope you’re well mate
Great video mate. Gotta admit that dungeon game looks good. Never played any of them ones. Also the editing was oright mate.
Yeah Etrian is fantastic. Try Legend of Grimrock too, you can pick it up cheap on steam 👍
I liked the new ideas. Always worth trying them out. #HKR 😊
A lot of charity shops have gotten wise and end up keeping games aside to sell on eBay. I ended up buying some PS1 games from an eBay store and then realised it was sold by a charity shop local to me--they still bloody posted it despite me telling them I'm a 5 minute walk and would collect!
I’m lucky if I find a fifa game these days. There’s also the people that have the relationships with the charity shops so they get all the good stuff first. Hahaha as though they still posted it out 😂
Very nice box of goodies there matey.. can't beat a good strategy guide 😎👍
Ths xploder dvd is an awesome freebie!
The dvds look good. Id forgotten about getting them on magazines as previews 😊
The Alan partridge of gaming 😂 That’s hilarious I never knew he was so self depreciating
Bit of Gervais, too
Great video man, nice little bundle. I had that xploder region free disc back in the day, it was the only way I could watch NTSC dvds before you could easily buy players that could be hacked, nice bit of kit
that's a beautiful condition guide too. had to comment on that specifically.
A shame the Deus Ex one wasn't as good as the Alone in the Dark, as although Griffo's keeping it in his game guide library, it's worth more than it cost new on eBay now; the Alone in the Dark one, not so much.
@@boilerhousegarage I love guides but I don't have too many due to space here at home . I only get ones that mean a lot to me and AITD would be amazing. the other one may be more valuable but it doesn't mean much to me. I do have two of the Deus Ex games (WiiU and PS4) but haven't played too much.
Yeah I get that with guides and its definitely worth getting guides for big RPG games. I tend to go to hardback guides for my favourite games
We just got Alone In The Dark remake on PC and it came with all of the previous iterations. We paid for the best edition for all the extras because I wanted to relive the old game I used to play in the 90s on our family PC.
I still play the original 2 games on 3DO. I was curious about the remake, as at least you can play as Emily Hartwood as well as Carnby like in the first game.
@@boilerhousegarage Do far my wife and I like it a lot. it's been worth it for us. but I've heard some people just don't enjoy it... maybe if there's a demo, check it out.
I never really got into Alone in the Dark but it’s only £20 here in the UK so I’m gonna have to get it
Quality items to be sent to you. Postage must of cost a pretty penny but what a great package.
Can’t beat a lovely box of freebies
You know it Mark 🙂
You're welcome and thanks very much for the shout-out! I'm glad you can make use of at least some of it as I appreciate it's a very random mix of stuff. I collect PlayStation 1 specifically (although I do have a Panasonic 3DO, Philips CDi and Atari ST) so anything else I get is in a mixed lot bundle on eBay, so I just pass things on if I don't collect them (my local postman gets anything Mega Drive that I end up with) so someone can keep or sell them on. I was expecting another couple of parcels with stuff I was going to send to you, but they took too long to arrive, but I can certainly send another in the future once there's enough to at least be worth you going through.. Evri kicked the hell out of that parcel box by the look of it! 😳 Deus Ex was also on PlayStation 2, just called Deus Ex in the PAL region and "Deus Ex The Conspiracy" in the US/NTSC--the guide will work for both games but the PC one is buggy and the PS2 one is full of level loading due to memory restrictions, so it's best to play the modern patched and graphically updated PC versions. I didn't know about Blob 2 until I checked the cartridge just before bundling up, so a but gutted it's the wrong game, but still worth hanging on to in case a cartridge only one appears.. plus I think it's a French box. Anyway, thanks again for the shout out, I'll keep you posted if I get another boxful of randoms and I'll look forward to your next video. Cheers 👍
No thank you for the gifts man, it’s always nice to receive especially when you’re not expecting it. Don’t get me started on Evri btw 😂, looks like that parcel Ace Ventura was delivering 😂
Yes mate that mortal kombat is the same one on the psvita. The only difference is that the psvita version as different style play and extra characters.
Ah really, gonna have to give it a blast then. MK is my favourite of the fighting games
Early bath
I like what I see of Dave Perry, always have since I was a kid.
Well done, good interview, enjoyed it.
Much appreciated! Dave was a really nice guy too
I need to add those then! I'm saving up for a boxed jap new 3ds atm
Dave’s best skill was a reviewer.
Hi Alex! Just been watching a few of your vids and I've got a couple of Prima official strategy guides I was going to eBay, but saw you have a pretty big collection of them so rather donate them to the channel if you want them? I've got a few charity shop leftover games (as in games I don't collect) that I can throw in too.
Hey man sorry for the late reply. I’d definitely be interested in some for sure. Message me on Facebook, just Griffo’s Retro Gaming
@@GriffosRetroGaming No worries, just messaged your FB page.
I genuinely thought Dave Perry was hamming it up with the Mario challenge because of the comedic nature of Dom and the show. I had no idea that Dave was part of the launch team, let alone editor of multiple magazines. This is a great interview, and Dave speaks so much common sense in this current world(albeit 4 years ago)
Great interview! I love GamesMaster and I think that Dominik Diamond was a fantastic host, but I must say in regards to the whole Mario 64 controversy, that I do believe that Dave Perry was done dirty. They really did set him up and then gaslit him when he (understandably) was upset by the ordeal.Even Diamond himself has since gone on to express regret for the manner in which that whole episode was handled. It's a pity that Perry is now forever associated with that one, single episode, above anything else. Having said that, at least he seems to take it in his stride.
Yeah unfortunately Dave you got your quote wrong it wasn't Ken who said "go home and be a family man" it was Guile sorry to be the killjoy 😳
Just noticed that ha.
"and on that bombshell!"
Oh nice! That's a bargain! They won't sell them in mine though 😢
The setup story makes sense tbh if you look back at some of the shit games they ran on that show, the Hell Special of Doom for example when the screen gameplay starts to not even make sense etc. I'm sure going back he could have reacted better but in the moment when someone's taking the piss you react how you react.
You got this for a father?😮 Whos father did you trade in ? 😂
*blocked*
@@GriffosRetroGaming 🤣🤣🤣
Great deal
Nice mate, is that a nationwide thing do you know. Have to look 👍
Not sure about that one mate, hopefully it is. The other games were all download codes though and were proper crap titles
Would it be out of line to ask him for a Mario tattoo?😗
He went for the short cut 😂
Why would anyone risk that if the challenge was just to last 8 seconds, not get to the end of the section?
@@boilerhousegarage He wanted to show off
Not st all. If you have played Mario64 you would know that if you break enough on the slide Mario will lose control and slide off. He was too hard on the breaks to drag out the timer, that was his downfall
@@squick1842 He was jumping and everything lol, he wanted that short cutt, he was a tit
Blue dragon, always been intrigued by that! Rpg?
Get the 360 version mate. Its still cheap and it’s really good, just slow to get going
@@GriffosRetroGaming yeah that's what I'd do I think. Ah goof to know it's still cheap, based on the rise of 360 games recently
How do they translate to the DS Griffo? What are the controls like?
Do you know what, they will surprise you because it works really well. You use the D-Pad to move and you use the stylus on the bottom screen for your head. Although not perfect, it works really well and the games are decent. I like them anyway 🙂
Dam....youve got more COD games on DS than me, and im a supposedly COD collector 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re rubbish!
How do they play on it? Never really been into them but I can't see how they'd play 😂
Hahaha they’re surprisingly good. You use the D-Pad to move and you use your stylus on the bottom screen to look around then you fire with the shoulder button. Surprisingly good
@@GriffosRetroGaming ah OK, so camera control with the stylus, interesting, could work that, a bit like metroid on there
damn they can fit all that?
Crazy isn’t it. It’s ingenious how they they get around not having thumb sticks too
