Oh wow, huge thanks for the lovely shout out, the DSI one was absolutely a passion project and it's lovely when that's spotted :) Already a huge fan of Zilog+Moto and Sorax Space (as well as St1ka) but I'm going on a sub spree to the others right now :)
Excellent stuff! Congratulations Dudley!
I massively love what you do, I can't express it enough. Thank you for your hard work. I hope the shoutout sends some additional love your way.
Nice! You deserve more love for your content, hopefully this'll get you some extra traffic... Good luck mate!
I thought he meant the Nintendo DSi, lol. I was like, duh, everybody knows the DS!? I'll have to check out your channel 👍
@@streetmagik3105 Hah, that's not helped either :) It's "Distinctive Software Inc" and if that hasn't told you immediately I'd suggest watching the series without spoilers because there is literally no chance you've not played one of their games at some point!
There's some great recommendations here. Kate's A Critical Hit and Russian Video Game Comrade are two of my favorite new channels that I've discovered in the last year. And thanks for the kind words bud. 😁
I didn't mean it. 😆
@@Jenovi I've reported you to my brand manager. Expect to be ruined sir! 😤
@@WrestlingWithGaming Does this "Brand Manager" keep track of your different Branding Irons or look after the herd to ensure only cattle with your Brand are receiving special treatment?
Thanks again for the kind words!
Many thanks for putting in the work you do. I highly appreciated that you create these high quality and enjoyable videos to watch for the masses.
Very excellent of you to share these channels. I know some of these fellows, and they're great folk.
All channels I really enjoy. Thank you for stopping by and checking this out. Hope you find something fresh from this list.
Thank you so much for including me in this, man! You’re awesome!
As are you.
Круто! :)
This is excellent- love this! Introduced me to some new channels. I was only aware of RetroActive and Russian Game Comrade
I'll make sure to check these channels out. Thanks for the head's up!
Thank you John. Hope you find a few favorites.
Thank you so much for including me in this man! I am indeed part of a production team, but I am technically a one man army when it comes to my channel. I can't thank you enough though!
🤠 Makes sense. Keep doing what you're doing. I look forward to watching the channel progress.
@@Jenovi Trust me I will! And thanks again!
As a young lover of retro games (and a small content creator myself!) this video is a lifesaver and really encouraging. Helps me and I'm sure it helps a ton of others get in touch with more channels of shared interests & highlighting smaller channels in general is such a cool move. So many brilliant folks out there getting done dirty by the algorithm, we all just gotta help each other!
Once again, thank you so much for this.
Pappy_QC is a speedrunner who tries to spread the word about an underrated PC game called Captain Claw and he is doing so by livestreaming the game regularly on Twitch and uploading the highlights on his UA-cam channel.
Claw (often referred to as Captain Claw) is a challenging 2D side-scroller platformer made by Monolith Productions in 1997. While it's an abandonware, it always had a dedicated fansite called The Claw Recluse that still keeps the game alive even today.
As for the numbers, he has like 400 subscribers on UA-cam and 600 followers on Twitch.
600 on twitch is massive!
Great video. It's always good to discover quality retro gaming channels.
Thanks. 🤠
Thank-you so much for these videos, you have introduced me to some amazing creators that I watch almost daily. You deserve many more subscribers Jenovi.
Oh hello 😂 Honestly thank you for including me, I feel happy that three years of hard work on Affro's Curiosites has been paying off :))
I'm also glad to see other content creators that seem up my alley too :)) Looking forward to watching theirs soon :)
Also I can't wait to watch your videos, I really like your style & personality ^^ Thank you again ☺
Well, thanks! Not sure my personally comes out in many of my videos, but I appreciate you saying that after watching this. I've really enjoyed your work and hope to see you grow.
Always lovely to see these kinds of videos! There's some seriously hard working folks in this bunch.
Absolutely!
I love this. I'm still subbed and enjoy the channels you mentioned last time. Absolute gems. I'll make sure to check these channels out. Thanks Jenovi
Sweet! Thank you.
What a great list! A couple I already know, but many are new to me and I greatly look forward to watching. It's always great to see videos like these. 👍
Thanks my friend, I hope you find something fresh and add it to your sub collection.
Looks like I have a bunch of new channels to check out, love the amount of family and niche projects here. Also, thanks for the shoutout in the description!
I intended to do a small podcast segment, but it was already a long video. Keep on rocking it Jim.
@@Jenovi you too bud, glad to see a new upload 🍻
Well deserved on all these. I’m a fan of Show me Retro too. He truly does this because he loves sharing with the community. Thanks for taking time to do this Jenovi. Subbing to some of these now.
Thanks! I highly appreciate that.
Thanks so much! Not just for including me but for very kindly doing this sort of thing to give smaller channels a helping hand. So many great ones out there that deserve more eyeballs on it! I know some here but will check them all out :) Have a great weekend!
You as well. 🤠 PS. Don't leave me hangin another year. 😉
It's awesome you make these videos to highlight smaller channels. Found some to subscribe to myself.
Thanks Pam. I appreciate you always turning me on to new channels as well.
The Failmentory video has still haunted me as even when doors open that story more close lol.
One of the most interesting videos done in the space. I don't think many folks realize how often this happens, and how much time can be put into a project only for it to be later shelved.
Dude, seriously thank you for the shout out 🙏 Hope to see you someday in person at a convention to thank you in person. I nearly shed a tear hearing you describe my channel which is understandably very difficult 😅
You don't need to thank me, but if I do see you at a convention, I expect to spend some time in your booth hanging out. 🤠
@@Jenovi absolutely, my next upload is a booth preview... if you show up ro this one I'll hook you up 😉
A tad bit far from Phoenix, but I'm going to make a goal of hitting something Midwest so I can see some of y'all.
Very interesting stuff. I've saved some playlists and lots of videos to watch later. Thank you, Jenovi
Happy to hear, thank you for supporting these channels. 🤠
I have no idea why you have so few suscribers yourself, considering how much quality you put in your videos...
Thanks Vincent. Kind words.
Excellent stuff mate. I'm subbed to a couple of these but will check out the rest for sure.
Hope you're doing well after the move.
Thanks Pete. I've been thinking about you. I really should find some proper time and reach out.
Subbed to all of them. Thanks for the tips!
Woot! 🤠
I love when you do these videos to spotlight other channels. Super positive. BTW. I am truly itching from some of your content. You are unique on UA-cam. Thanks for all the videos.
Thanks Andy! I'm mainly working on that 32X buyers guide though there are a couple larger projects in various states (these are moving slow though).
Love it man. Pandemonium and gamers garden are two of my fav channels now!
Two amazing channels with great guys behind them.
I love this series. If you don´t know him yet I highly recommend to take a look at Sean Seanson, he currently sits at 1.21k subscribers and he talks exclusively about PS1 games. His 2 main series are based around discovering more unknown games from both the US PS1 Library and the games that stayed Japan exclusive. The games for each episode are chosen randomly by spinning a virtual wheel. Plus the production value of his videos is really good considering the small subscriber base.
That sounds right up my ally. I subscribed and will be watching asap. Thank you for the recommendation. 🤠
This is the retro content I crave.
Thanks for this video, Jenovi. I'm checking these channels immediately since I was not aware of any of them. Also, is great to have a new video from you.
Hope you found some "Hidden Gems".
@@Jenovi I actually did. Thanks a lot.
this is a fantastic series and such a well presented way of highlighting the community! I always sub to most of the channels you recommend, I was already subbed to CCR, they put out some genuinely funny and charming content plus they love sega haha
They crack me up. It's 100% a channel to watch if you're feel great or feeling down. I can't help but smile when viewing.
Checked out all the channels you featured. Subscribed to Creative Cat Productions, great stuff
I love that channel, thank you!
What a cool thing to do.
I already sub to some mentioned but thanks for highlighting some other excellent channels 👍🏻👍🏻
You are welcome. 🤠
Dang brother this is exactly something I've wanted to do but lack both the skill or tools to make it happen. I was already following 8 of the ten on your initial list. You included of course. There is so much more amazing retro content than the top 5 popular, which to be honest have become too elite for my taste. Thank you for creating this video and I will share this along my Twitter feed.! Much respect!
Thanks! BTW, who are the two you didn't know? For most folks, it would be the UK channels. On another note, you certainly could do something like this, it doesn't need to be snazzy, just do what you're comfortable with.
Props dude, pay it forward! I think I found yours and St1ka's channel through Slopes Game Room, which I was new there at the time even. Anyway, enjoying the content! Thanks!
Yeah, slopes gave me a shoutout… what, it’s been 4 years ago now? Wild.
Wry cool video! Can’t wait to check these channels out!
Thanks! Hope you find something that strikes a cord with you.
Hey Jenovi, this is a really cool initiative, having a really small channel I know how hard it is to reach your audience, so I'll be sure to check these out !
Thanks! Also, it looks like you have an interesting channel. I've subbed and will be checking it out when I have appropriate time.
@@Jenovi thank you for your support ! Its not much, but I hope you like it.
I absolutely love Zilog and Moto. I found him doing research on Tommy Lasorda Baseball for the Genesis and found that his review was probably the best on the platform. I soon found myself watching his other reviews and loving them. He’s very deep and cathartic. I love that he actually reviews the box, its physical condition, and includes a detailed look at the manuals. As a Genesis lover, I can’t look away!
Thank you very much for mentioning our channel on this list. You really made our family’s day. I’ve actually been watching you for years now, ever since I found you through that excellent canceled 32X game video you did a while back. Again, thank you. This is quite the honor. 😎
Thanks! The Unreleased series is always fun to tackle. I feel 100% the same about Dave (Zilog and Moto). In fact, I was a bit blown away that he always has the physical packaging, and always reviews it. Quite love the presentation. PS. You and your family do amazing work.
Love these kinds of videos. Not familiar with any of these channels- will check them out. Not under 2k, but I love gaming off the grid. Those guys rock!
Good guys, I’ve chatted with them a couple times.
You are awesome for doing this!!!!
🤠 Thanks! Hope you find new some channels to enjoy.
Love your content!!!
😁 Thanks my friend.
Always enjoy these videos
They are fun to make, not really popular, but very much worth it.
Great, as if my youtube feed wasn't already overwhelming enough xD Just kidding ;)
I think it's so cool of you to be doing these shoutouts to the small-timers.
I tell ya, when you are a small youtube channel, each of those little sub notifications can make your whole day.
I used to do video game reviews way back in the early youtube days. I actually believe I was the first Danish youtube to do so.. Certainly when it came to doing them on a somewhat regular basis.
It can take a lot out of you though, especially when you decide on doing them in your native language when there are barely 5 million people living here.
I know I could easily just have opted to do it in English but there were already so many people doing that and I wanted my content to have a bit of a more homey feel to them.
What really burnt me out was how I always felt I couldn't just sit down and play something casually as that would be a waste of time if you weren't recording. But when capturing footage, you play differently than if you were just playing casually as you have to make the action look interesting and also don't want to waste too much storage just by looking around every corner in a game.
I admire all content creators for being able to keep pushing out so much content.
Maybe I'll get back into it someday, who knows xD
Thank you for this comment. If you enjoyed it, I recommend you start up again. Do it for yourself. You'll make connections. I can fully understand the point about capturing footage too. It's important to find a semblance of balance when doing this.
Haha omg Jenovi! I did not expect that!
I'm really glad to see Russian video game comrade. his videos are SO informative ^^
It's really incredible stuff.
@@Jenovi agreed completely!!
That was awesome thanks so much will be subscribing to most of them. Except for St1ka..................Was already subscribed 😂🤣
😆
One of the rare youtube threads where it's okay to read the comments. ;) Thank you for the inclusion sir, you're a scholar and a gentleman.
Keep on rocking it Dave. I look forward to the show every week.
I love your content dude! You’re like part Mr Wizard, part Bob Ross, and 100% Sega Genesis awesomeness
@@creativecatproductions That's about the best compliment you could give me. It's greatly appreciated. Was glad to see you mentioned in the video as well!
Greetings and thx from Brasil, mate! I'll check this channels ASAP.
Much love for Brazil.
Very nice line up 👍👍👍
Thanks amigo. 😆
Awesome
Jenovi#1 me and my son love his youtube channel
Very kind. ❤️
I have one a retro gaming channel every Sunday I do a video on different retro gaming topics and other gaming content during the week
My 3 main shows are retro docs: doing history on different retro gaming topics , retro reviews: I review different retro games for every system, homebrew: I play and review different homebrew retro games
Funny thing, I'm already subbed to you. The 32X video brought me in about a month back. 🤠The not so funny part, I don't recall seeing any of your uploads in my feed and forgot about the channel. I was surprised to see I was already subbed but that you don't show in my feed. I had to scroll to find the last video I watched.
@@Jenovi yeah. UA-cam dor some reason hasn't been pushing my content so my channel tends to get lost in the shuffle
Aaaayyyy welcome to Arizona
🤠
10:49 _...And while, you're there, ask when that _*_Darkstalkers 3_*_ review is coming._ - I asked. He said that it'll come out when Jenovi's video on that scale arcade company come out.
Love St1ka's channel.
Thanks to youtube suggestions getting me on this vid. Lot of nice new channels to explore yay!. Also fun to see what their sub count is 1 year after. Subbing to you too Jenovi. Hope you still make these
Your videos are so pretty now.
It's not the video, it's the host. 😆🤣
I always try to leave a comment if I liked a video, even if its just saying "great video"
Woot
Sega Head is a great small time sega focused channel if anyone wants to check them out.
I've watched me some Sega Head. The link for anyone else interested. ua-cam.com/channels/XwRS5Fdd_K8Zp7E-krsfig.htmlfeatured
10 Amazing Retro Gaming UA-camr Channels under 13k subs:
#1. Jenovi
Edit: What a crime!
❤️
I love documentary style in depth video, sadly UA-cam much more care about Short to chase that tiktok viewer that a bit stupid I think when channel started making shorts but sadly its necessary to boost awareness. Can they just concentrate more on fixing youtube stupid algorithm and not chasing all money in this world
Man, my feed has been a mess with stuff I could care less about.
St1ker is my guy
haha thank you! ^^
@@st1ka" all ur st1kers belong to me....." - "WAT U SAY????"
The one I like for under 2000k subs is: The poor man's retro game room. Only 402 subs so far.
Subbed, I'll be checking this out. Thank!.
+1 For the Russian Comrade! The others will be investigated thoroughly thanks, man!
I hope you find some other Gems in there.
Heyyy..... you alive
Indeed.
Fire;steel
rubbara
Retro Island Gaming
Cyberpunk Gamer
I know a couple of these, thank you for the recommendations.
Very cool giving some shout outs here, but it's honestly hard to judge whether these channels would interest us with nothing more than you talking about them. Why not show a minute or two worth of short clips from each channel, so we could have at least gotten a feel for the content? And not with you talking over them but actually showing us some short clips? That would have made all the sense. Just sayin'.
my channel needs help..I suck!
