Crazy Thumbs! I miss it already.
Pretty rad right 🙌 It’ll be great when we all meet up again dude
ii google it and it said closed already
Thank you so much for coming! Great meeting you! I’m the blonde one, nova 😂
Hey Nova. Thanks for being awesome. Have a great day 🙌
Oops, would you mind sharing it on Facebook for me too please? 😊
@@TheGebs24 absolutely! I’ll let crazythumbs know!
@@PokieNova Wicked. Thank you 😊
The guy who owns this shop used to work in a shop called Awesome games in Walthamstow. Every Sunday on my meal break from work (I used to work at Dixons) I'd go in and see him (Imran) and he'd trade with me. He was a top man. I saw him at the London Gaming Market and it was good to catch up with him, thats when I learnt about his outfit, it was so good to see him after so long!
I live in Islington, North London. I had no idea about this store (Crazy Thumbs) When i'm next off work i think i'll drop down and have a look. Great looking store, not many of these around anymore. And that Street Fighter 6 arcade stick looks 🔥 21:12
In the first part, you controlled the witch either on her broom or in a jump and run-like scenario. In part two, you take control of a pumpkin named Bouncy who tries to find ingredients for a spell in the witch's castle to free his friends. You can only move around by jumping. There are big and small jumps possible depending on how long you press the fire button. The game was probably very famous at the time. Cries out for a remake actually.
Great vid :) Crazy thumbs is the best retro store I’ve found for sure! Glad you got to visit them 😍
Also, thanks Honour for the shout out 🎉
any time Angel xx
Subscribed. I’m visiting my sister in London soon (from the US) and needed some ideas on some shops I could hit up while I’m there. Your videos helped me narrow it down. Thank you so much!
The last time I was in London the only retro game store I could find was Retro Game Base, but it has closed down years ago unfortunately. It was a lovely store, it also had a small youtube channel. I bought a GBA Micro there (at a half decent price :)
Crazy Thumbs, good name for video game store. Bit of a strange name for an adults-only establishment. "The password is: puppeteer".
LOL T2 at 15:56 exactly 15 years ago I thought Terminator 2 was best movie of all-times.
I can watch T2 over and over again 🎉
The Beach Head games were well known for the Commodore 64. I played them a lot.
Fantastic vid Gem from more my neck of the woods! I enjoyed the person behind the counter at Crazy thumbs and I never realised that Selfridges had such cool stuff, especially the arcade cabs. I have the generic version of that SF6 fightstick, its really good, you can easily replace components if wish too, e.g. getting Sanwa buttons. Its a shame there isn't much of any arcade scene anymore in London, used to love place like Trocadero and Casino by Goodge Street tube. However, there is a place called Heart of Gaming in Croydon that might be worth checking out for more retro arcade stuff.
Pretty crazy that Selfridges had all that cool stuff. Overall, a banging trip 🎉
OMG! Thanks for the video! I'll have to check this store during my stay in London! I couldn't find many retro gaming stores in London. I found one called CEX though. I NEEEED to buy both europe exclusive Super FX games, Winter Gold and Dirt Racer! I'm also looking for Dakar Desert Rally, Dirt 5 and Assetto Corsa Competizione for PS5!
What an amazing store. Cool to see Commodore shelves in this day and age.
If you're ever in the area you can try Retro Giant, they have a shop in Brentwood and Romford. Really great shops
I've been to both of those Retro Giants. They R awesome! 🎮 👍
Gemma breaking the law playing a US/Canada game in the UK! Hehehe...
Defenders of the earth was brilliant, I had the game on the speccy. Think it had Flash Gordon, The Phantom and a couple of others in it.
I'm looking at getting one of them emulator boxes for all the old speccy and commodore games.
Very nice store, games and London scenery :) I think the Zelda ad location, or nearby, is in PS3 Gran Turismo 5 & 6 London race track :)
Heeyyy thanks for coming in, deffo need to come down again and have a chat with us about your fave games !! dont be a stranger xx
oh yeah im the on in the Evangelion Top talking about speed running next to @pokienova loool
Oh hey 👋 How’s the speed running going? We loved the shop
@@TheGebs24 im glad you loved it come back soon!! p.s. im working onit lool xx
Been to that store. Its fabulous. Been holding the same Sunset riders in my hands there. Been hunting mainly for NES & SEGA there
Hey there. Where did you get the big stands for the games in the centre of the shop?
I'm jealous of all the golden weather you are having there.
Looks like they didnt have much of a change of stock since i was there 3 weeks ago, although those TV screens with the games on are different. Some nice bits in there though that i missed. Will have to pop back down anyways as a copy of turbo outrun they sold me doesnt work so i need to return it. Nice shop though and friendly staff. Nice vid Gem-MEH!
Thanks our TomMeh. What did you buy when you were down there?
Cauldron 2 was an awesome game on the c64, great childhood memories!
Amazing! I'm in my glory seeing all of these retro shops over there. its funny, I think the NTSC Sega cd cases are horrid .. They always broke so easy.
Clocked...
the robot at the 21 minute mark is the very expensive robosen automatic transforming optimus prime
No way?! That’s cool
Really fun stuff! I am curious about that pumpkin game as well now. Never seen it before.
It’s cool to see things like this in the wild
@@TheGebs24 Lol, I've never played it but everything is on the front of the box - the game is Cauldron 2 for the Commodore 64/128 (on disk). I was a Spectrum owner at the time but I assume it's mainly that high in price due to rarity/condition.
damn.. I didn't knew about this one, when we stayed in London 2 Weeks ago 😄😄😄. So another time , maybe in August after Gamescom 😊😊😊
they had gliderider on c64.. have you got that game on spectrum 128 and c64? music is amazing!
Good video glad to see they still have these places 🎉😅
Nice one Gemma. Next time you’re down that way you have to visit Planet Retro. I’m sure he’d welcome you in 👍
Ooohh another one I need to visit 😎
Really must get here possibly in July after retro gaming market
P.s. love Mortal Kombat
Some clean bangers in there! Nice on Gemma! 😍
I still have my copy of Mortal Kombat versus DC Universe for the PS3. Haven't played it in years though.
What character would you play as?
@@TheGebs24 I loved Sub-Zero in this game, and the Flash.
Absolutely lovely stuff!! Crazy thumbs has some reet nice stuff!! 😮
Awesome video gem
Oh that’s prime can transform himself!! ❤❤❤
Thanks our Reecey. Yeah it was pretty mint 😃❤️❤️❤️
I didn't know you are in Tooting it is awesome shop
Is the shop in Islington London?
How come Europe have different looking Super Nintendo game cartridges from the American dark grey ones like we have a light grey ones in America to but yours look like a different design
Becasue us and the japanese had the rounded console where as in america they had the boxy console. So in turn the carts were made different as the cart slot on the american console is squared and ours is rounded. The US Super Nintendo was designed to look more like the NES as they were really familiar with it over there where as in europe we didnt really have the NES, so Hence why the consoles look different and the carts do as well. Hope that kinda explains it .
Going to crazy thumbs 👍 ❤❤
mano, porque que essa mulher segura estranho as coisas hein ? Nunca vi ninguem segurar assim kkkkkkk usar o polegar, o anelar e o mindinho MDS
great content i love your taste in drum and bass

@@TheGebs24 Mybad🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😂😂😂
@@minitekkerz2127 😂😂😂😂🤟🤟🤟
This looks so cool 😎
I want to find GTA III and GTA Vice City there 😁
PlayStation 2
Yikes, Gemma, Cobra Kai 2 sucks. Avoid at all costs.
You and Jess are a lovely couple 😊😘🤗
Thank you!
What’s with the mask? Very odd!!
Mask?
The girl behind the till probably had a cold or covid so clearly didnt want to infect anyone. Its being polite after all :)
Do ppl still wear facemasks? The pandemic is over.
If they have immune disorders, yes. Or if they have a cough and worried about spreading it to others.
I know, it does annoy me when i see it but like the comment above some people have their reasons. I suppose if you're dealing with the public and you have a cough it would be best to do a test before going into work. If it's clear then no need for the mask, if positive stay at home till it's gone. Saying that, today i went to my local CEX (Angel, Islington) All the workers behind the till were wearing masks, this immediately made me laugh and turned me off from looking around any more in the store. I just found it laughable, a real turnoff from spending time in the store.
@@leecroft7311 I don’t see why you’d be that bothered. It’s like being judgemental of someone’s clothing choices. Who cares what someone else wears. They aren’t hurting anyone.
another awesome gaming video gemma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another brilliant video
Thanks Barbara 🎉
LOVE ITTTT !!!!😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤
nice video
Thank you Alex. What would you have purchased?
@@TheGebs24 stolen and maybe dark angel for xbox
