These videos are priceless. And since you put them on the internet they will probably last as long as mankind. Maybe in 100 years people we be watching them.
I think we had stronger minds back in the 90's better awareness deeper thought we didnt have things like social media and google to distract us or instantly answer all the questions in our heads back then when you wanted to know something you had to figure it out on your own and find the right book or right person i think our knowledge of self was easier to access and people these days have no idea i think family was stronger i admire my elders in that they are confident people not as burdened with anxiety and neuralgia i think the farther you go the stronger the character and place in this world i think our evolution is almost a gallop to attempt to out run our knowledge of self from the simple primitive yet capable and noble creature to multi-facited, multi-dimensional, distinguished, personal wizard of art and poetry and mass destruction and beauty. Going back would truly be heaven.
Great video. I remember renting videogames all the time at my local video store back in the 90s as a kid with little money. Cartridge games were going for $60-70. For me 90s -early 2000s were golden years for videogames. Nowadays most modern games are too focused on graphics and cinematics.
That Toys R Us sale paper was so real! I think I got my Genesis for the same price on my birthday in 1993. It was a 2nd Gen. Sega Genesis that came with Sonic 2.
lol we had a sega genesis when i was growing up.. i was born in 1993, i think my older brother got it at about that time but still had it all through the 90s into 2000. mortal kombat, streets of rage, golden axe were a few of the games we had.
Gil just like my friend(may he RIP) you where ahead of your time. He filmed so many things especially his video games. I miss him so much. He passed away in 2018. He was a family friend, and even though I was hid daughters age he let me borrow a lot of his games and home movies. He recorded so many gameplay videos. I used to love watching his videos because he was so good at videogames. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us.
The reason I found this was because I was trying to confirm my memory that Sega did have a promo giving away a controller and free game; it was so cool of them to do that. This brings back memories of when my older brother brought home a Sega Genesis, purchased at The Good Guys. It was right before the school year started, possibly the day before or the weekend before it because I remember having to go to sleep early. We selected Revenge of Shinobi for the free game which was a great choice. We weren't rich so those were the only two games for a couple of years. Shadow Dancer was the next game I had my dad by for me at Macy's of all places; we probably paid full price which in hindsight I feel kind of guilty for.
Was really nice seeing how things were in the early 90's, as I was born late in 1991. Those cassette machines, and other technologies from then are quite a nostalgia trip. I remember all cars only having tape players, and a bunch of labeled tapes with music recorded from radio or vinyl. The 90's was quite the decade alright. Seeing that Genesis in action got me to fire up my RetroTink, and my good old Model 1 TMSS Genesis with Batman, and scanlines on! Got my first Genesis in '04 to see what I had missed out on from the 90's in gaming, and glad to have one now that's a Model 1! Probably going to play Shinobi III or Revenge of Shinobi next! Also love the NES! Thanks for the awesome upload! :)
I was watching the the first episode of the new Madden NFL documentary on Amazon Prime and saw a clip of this video that they used. I recognized it immediately as one of your videos. Pretty cool!
I love your videos Gilbert I just found them, it brings back so many memories and makes you remember how life was back then. Its kind of rare to find video of the 80s or early 90s because cameras were $2k. I had to borrow one from school to make my videos id get it over the weekend and try cramming as much as I could on them. Thanks for sharing your history with the world!
I was a freshman in college 90-91 and that Christmas I got a TurboGrafx 16. Borrowed my friends Sega Genesis in 91 and liked that too! Especially Ghouls and Ghosts. Celtics vs. Lakers, Golden Axe and Space Harrier.
Hello and thank you for your videos, they bring back so many memories, even if we've lived those years in very different places and e were different ages
I wanted a Genesis for Christmas back then and there was a big box under the tree... I thought it was a Genesis but it ended up being a keyboard!!! That was the worst Christmas ever as a kid!
@@EricEustace i seen Friday the 13th for NES in the thumbnail, that game was definitely NOT worth it as far as gameplay wise😂, but for the sake of experience and nostalgia
And you had to take the ticket to the register so you could get the game. If you took it home you were trying to save it so no one could get it ...hopefully
Ha the days when you talk shit to each other face to face. Not through a headset miles away. Facial expression when you where mad , priceless. Or worst.😁👍
It's so weird to me that people today don't know how to work old tech lol. Now it's "cool" when it was just an everyday thing like the phones we have in our hands today 😅.
I enjoy your whole channel, but retro game collecting is my biggest hobby, and I think it is awesome how you have this cool moment recorded! Very awesome! Do you still play games today?
I bet if I had been born sometime before 1989, probably if I had been born in 1981 (hypothetically) and I had gotten a sega genesis with the altered beast and a mail in coupon for a free game and controller, I would get Golden Axe. If it was a coupon for 2 free games, I would have picked Golden Axe and Super Hang On. To the point, I like ports of arcade hits
Anarchist86ed 89 ?!! that sounds weird i always thought genesis didnt come out till like 90-91 , 89 sounds waaay to weird for me . must be the mandela effect like the guy above mentioned
I got the Genesis around the same time, and the only choice I had for free games were sports games or Columns. I got Super Monaco GP and loved it! I would have loved Ghouls n Ghosts, too.
Family is precious Man i think Family is Key to keeping Sane its often when we lock people out our friends and family we suffer the most family can be annoying but they really are precious the 90's for me was all about family it was my first decade my mother and father were married i had an older brother to look upto my twin sister to share the journey lots of big family bbqs with my uncles and auntys and my cousins our megadrive and ps1 shit it was wonderful as i got older shit just went bad now im crazy and living in a hellish zoo, childhood was so great i think its our responsibility as adults to make sure children get the best possible because you just cant go back to that time that mind that experience it would be pretty cool if scientifically we were able to manipulate the brain somehow and with our memories along with historical records and great designers we are able to create a believable reconstruction of the past in a simulation that also also allows you experience it as a younger version of yourself something kinder like San Junipero in BlackMirror.
Im jealous of you miss the pst wish I would have video tape me and my family’s days together!!Good job on your recordings reminds me of the good times back then bro!!!
@Alan Buenrostro I know I'm eleven months late replying (better late than never, i guess), you have probably already found the song by now, but just incase you haven't it's Five Star - Love Take Over
Damn $55 Usd back in 1990 is heaps im Australian and today $55Usd is around $79 Aud and a trippleA ps4 game averages around $69 Aud so $55 Usd for a Game with less than half a quarter of the work force and budget in 1990 thats heaps.

Video games have evolved. Back then it was 16 bit. Now we have 4K.
Interesting to see things from the past.
wow this is gold

Cool video Gilby, as always thanks for sharing your rad memories with us.
You know what the commercials boasted, Sega Does What Nintendon't.
Good stuff, Gilbert. I also had that Genesis bundle with Altered Beast around the same time.
I like how the little kids are fully immersed in the NES. That was me.
I love your quaint little TV game set up its beautiful.

I love these videos! But as a collector 16:30 is a "ouch" hahaha, those scissors.
Mario 3 was addictive. Iwas probably playing at the exact same time you were.
I wanted a Genesis for Christmas back then and there was a big box under the tree... I thought it was a Genesis but it ended up being a keyboard!!! That was the worst Christmas ever as a kid!
Awesome videos Gilbert, brings back memories lol
32 years ago but feels like yesterday.
Please tell me you still have it with the box?!?! Man this takes me waaay back!!
Gilbert is a brilliant human being
I remember the Genesis and the SEGA WWF royal Rumble 1993 and Golden Axe haha
September 1990 is when I was born
47:12 - child, we are viewing this from the next millennium over. Just a masterful forethought that Gil had to record all of this.
Haha. That was me saying 1996. Damn. I was thinking short term then
47:56 “And the most powerful game system in the market, except for this other one called the Turbo Gra-“ classic
44:24 what car is that? looks like a luxury sports car combo with the body kit (unless that came from the factory)
30:55 the games were 59.99 even back then!
TheRmm1976 right!? Jesus.
Yep. They were worth it too lol.

Love ur videos
Your kids and grandkids are lucky they get to see how yous were in your younger days, especially the style and clothes your wore😜😂

Sit down and smell the coffee!!
Vanilla ice... Kool cassette player...
This video is going to blow up in views soon.
I love vintage tech its so wonderful tapes cartridges and vinyl its so much more mystical because its like how the fuck does it even work.
It's so weird to me that people today don't know how to work old tech lol. Now it's "cool" when it was just an everyday thing like the phones we have in our hands today 😅.
Great footage once again.

Is that a Nissan Stanza and a old Honda?
The super nintendo was my first gaming console
I got a turbografx 16 after the nes
Gilbert taping + Hector sleeping = Creepy
just wondering did you end up getting that free game with the controller. O and by the way I enjoy all your videos
If you watch the video he gets it at 21:00
Altered Beast! Dope. Did you end up getting the extra game and game pad? I may have missed it in the video if its in there.
Haha. Yes I did get it. Although it was a delay. I was so happy to get it! Ghouls and Ghosts was the game. I loved that game!
@@fueledbymusic3 Great game to get! That's fantastic. Thanks for sharing! I will always be a fan!
15:30 Is that Dee Thomas from What's Happening????
When you said you feel guilty about buying games when you intended to save 💰 I felt that 😅 not with video games but yea

Oh yeah. That song is Love Take Over - Five Star (1986)
@@fueledbymusic3 Thanks Gil! You're awesome
If it was me for my free game I would've either went with Golden Axe or Revenge Of Shinobi.

Vick Hones That game sucked. I never made it past the 3rd board.

Did you keep any of your old games
I have these systems right now! Although they are not the same units

Great video do you still have your NES or your Sega Genesis
PowerGlovePixels I still have them! Although they are not that particular one on the video.
