Game hunting in South Carolina today with the boys at Video Game Cavern! This place was absolutely packed! Not only was the game room floor full but so was the back room. We even got a chance to buy one of the coolest Super Nintendo kiosks I've ever seen! Always on the hunt for retro games, vintage toys and 80s / 90s nostalgia at Flea Markets, Thrift Stores & Garage Sales! Thank you guy as always for coming along with me on my live video game and toy hunt thrifting adventures!

I love how you show a little game play from the games you talk about. Legendary
I'm gonna drive there Saturday and see if she'll take $5000. I doubt it, but I have to try. My best friend and I spent nearly every day at the Sears in Anderson Mall SC playing Super Metroid on one of these. I'd love to have it.
I inherited all of my fathers game systems, he was a avid collector. His oldest system was a RCA Studio II video game console. Ten different systems, still in their original boxes. My favorite is the Turbo Duo. I never use them because of a NES looking box called the Super Console Cube X3 that has over 110,000 games on it from sixty different consoles. It works pretty good, my dad would have been in heaven playing it. Thanks for your video, great to watch! Happy gaming!
That SNES kiosk is a nostalgia TRIP. That and the Game Boy ones are peak childhood nostalgia for me.
Same bro, I played so much SF2 on one of those kiosks at Toys'R'Us as a kid.
Another great store brought to us by Retro Rick. I love all the items that you showed. The commercials that you add in between the footage always takes me back. Thank you for that. I love me some 8 bit NES but once Sega Genesis came out I was all in on that system when comparing it to the Super NES. Always looking forward to the content
Asking her about buying that SNES kiosk reminds me of trying to buy an old car rotting in a guy's yard that he "is going to fix up someday"
She's gonna see this comment and punch the air seeing people flame her in Rick's comment section
I’ve noticed that mostly with Southerners. They are so sentimental with their hunk of junk. They would rather see it all fade into dust before they even consider maybe selling it which they won’t
🧂
@Charlie B yup I feel you. I offered a dude 5k (he was asking 10k) for a 944 turbo that was basically gone, rusted to the bones; still ran, poorly though. He thought it only had "surface rust." However it had an immaculate super super rare made to order color interior. He didn't know this but, still refused to sell it because you know "a porsche demands a higher price tag," went back a year or two later and it was covered in mold due to the rusted out body leaking into the interior. 944's are/were very cheap at the time, good turbos would go for 5k-10k max, they now go for 18k+ but, that interior alone at the time would have gone for 10k+. Edit: 944's had a ton of very rare, made to order exterior and interior color variations that are and were extremely expensive but, not many people knew/know this. You could literally buy one for 5k with a rare interior, sell the interior to a collector and replace it with a common interior and have a free car.
Reading the replies calling her stupid in here makes me worry for humanity.
I love Video Game Cavern. Been shopping there for nearly 20 years for my retro game needs. Robin is amazing. Anytime I’ve been looking for something obscure if they think they may have it in the back room I’ve been invited back there to have a look. Definitely best game store in upstate SC.
When I was a kid in Middle school(I’m 44 now), my neighbor got a Sega Genesis and a Turbo Grafx 16(sp?) at the same time I got the original NES…it was a good summer!!!
Oh my God! I grew up in upstate SC and have been to that store many times! They used to have a regular booth every weekend for years at the Anderson Jockey Lot flea market, and that’s where I bought my GameCube on release day in 2001. I traded and bought and sold most of my old collection with those guys at the flea market. Good folks.
I love watching this stuff
I'll never give up on the 90s games!
What makes that kiosk great is the zenith 1492 screen with the flat tension mask that was a first for the time for the PC. I had one for my PC at the time it cost a fortune back then but was so worth it. It only did 640*480 but Nintendo's game were less resolution than that by far and the monitor had a pitch black background made amazing contrast. The monitor only had a VGA connector so Nintendo had a custom connector for it.
What!!! James pond at the Olympics was soo much fun to play with mates as a kid.
Nothing brings back the nostalgia more than the Genisis for me. Our neighbors had one and I'd be around there just thrashing Street Fighter II. Those days were amazing.
You have the most awesome videos on UA-cam retro Rick sincerely Wayne
Wow this is cool. I had no idea those SNES Kiosks are worth soo much. I'm sending this to my father. he was the engineer on the SNES, Virtual Boy, and original XBOX Store Kiosks and will get a kick out of it.
This is so cool, I think going in the back room is the best place to shop first! You get to see all the stuff they don't have out yet and you're the first one to get to buy.
Or in my game stores case, it's all just in the same room as the stuff for sale...
Found your channel thru retro plus and loving the N64 challenge
This journey gives me up, This past summer my aunt had her N64 system and all the games stolen, she was absolutely devastated. That was her favorite thing and it’s all gone. She played it almost everyday. I hope I can one day help her rebuild her collection. Watching this journey gives me hope.
Try local thrift shops/Goodwills, pawn shops & browse Offer Up. Deals are out there!
Swap Meets & Garage/Yard Sales are also good but unpredictable.
I'm truly sorry some P.O.S. did that to your Aunt.
@@e3man01 yeah, I started, just havent had much time with work. and yes and absolute P.O.S
I love displays! ❤️
CollectorsLuck what is a Nintendo Grail
@@joetatro5415 There are too many, but that WoN cabinet and the SNES kiosk are among them.
I have a lot of Super Mario figures both2.5 and 4" figures
Shoutout to Riff and his on point awesome editing, so many little touches here and there that just make these videos pop.
bruh when he called out the whathisname with "i like money" :D
Man, I'm not local anymore but that was my childhood game store. I remember picking up pokemon yellow there, the one I still own. Really threw me back lol
That's awesome. My old haunt was Walden Software back in the 80s. Back in the days when you bought software in sandwich bags that were thumb-tacked on a cork-board.
Greetings Y'all. Another great vid from Retro Rick. Let's get it started!
Myself and my Mum played Aquatic Games so so much, we loved it! I miss my Mum, she’s gone 8 years now 😔
I helped someone work on a project at their house once and they told me they would give me a sega system for helping. I thought it would be a genesis, boy was I surprised when they handed me a CDX!
I like money! Rick showed Caleb for like half a second hahaha
Game chasers were there few years ago and that kiosk was in the exact same place
Yes! I thought I was the only one who thinks the music in Mario 2 is the frickin best. It's so nostalgic for me that summer it came out right around when the movie The Wizard came out. Playing it all summer long at my friend's house. Mario 2 is the best Mario of all time, every body likes M3 but no way it's all about M2.
🤘😁👍
Thank you for going to one of my local game stores. I've spent thousands there over the years. Usually good deals.
Im lucky to have a complete snes kiosk in my collection. A gentleman that I used to repair consoles for had a store. He sold his business and asked me if i wanted it... Ofcourse i said yes so story short... I got it for free.
Being pumped about whatever as an adult that revives a childhood happiness is amazing. Drugs, gambling, violence & infidelity cost so much more to maintain & tear families apart... whoa, collect & be happy.
I remember seeing and playing one of those in the Walmart near where I lived as a kid. I was just completely blown away by the SNES, especially on that screen. I always wanted one as a kid.
Lol me too man. I beat Super Mario World before I ever owned a SNES because someone left it paused at Bowsers castle!
I remember us kids forming a line to play this at Walmart!
Deja Vu was one of my favorites. Sewer alligator and ALL!
When I first started going to garage sales in 2006 I came across a house selling a ton of Nintendo & Sega games and at $4 per boxed game I thought he was asking too much. He also showed me an SNES kiosk in fantastic condition complete with SNES, monitor, stand, display case, etc. He wanted $200 and I thought he was crazy asking that much. Oooopsie.
Great time bro! I forgot we filmed this!? Lol
My Sega Genesis still works and I got mine back in Christmas 1992 , where my sister was super jealous at the time …but after 30 years it still works with relative ease….
So strange to say “It’s not for sale, but throw me a price.” Now that u have a store Rick, there’s massive leverage now! Everything changes. 😁🥰
You've got to check out upstate games in Greer! It's about 20-25 minutes away from this store. Both are amazing and I always have to visit when in the Greenville area.
I've been binging your videos on both channels. Thanks for the amazing videos!
Caleb makes me want to run 🏃♂️ run 🏃♀️ run 🏃 away…. I turned to Retro Rick because I feel he loves the games & collecting vs just being in for $ .
There is nothing wrong with being in it for the money. I mean I love Retro Rick, but Caleb is great as well.
@@VinnyVidiVintage yes
@@VinnyVidiVintage i agree ☝️ Caleb is great 👍 it’s more of a preference thing for me personally…. A lot of viewers here like both I just love ❤️ Retro Rick because of his love ❤️ for the games Caleb is great to watch & learn as well. Go watch Caleb & Retro Rick respectfully.
Rick literally shills for WhatNot on almost every video. Not saying that is wrong - but I'm not sure why you'd support him yet hate on Phoenix Resale. Rick literally owns a video game store...so they kind of do the same thing.
Retro Rick doesn't know who AVGN is but Phoenix does
For me the Game Boy kiosk is the true grail, I guess more so than this because it functions in a way that you just can't replicate otherwise. Playing Tetris on that full screen green tinted CRT, something I haven't been able to do in 30 years now.....that was always something I wanted to land but as time goes on the price just gets more outrageous and the opportunity to even get one is less and less
Enjoyed the video I've been watching your videos since before you owned a store!!!!
Great store, was fun to watch. Much love
I liked the welcome to the darkside front door mat.
That was a bad ass game 🎮 store ever 💯
Retro Rick, your awesome and i hope to meet you someday, thanks for the amazing content it brings me back.
Welcome to South Carolina!
Oh oh phoenix is in the house. Let the haggling begin.
phoenix resale late to the deals. never thought i'd see that.
nintendo super mario 3 watch..
🤘
Love those edits RIFF!!! 🤣
The video game art frames I have found them at my local Burleson Coat Factory for around $10
🤓📺🎮👍... Nice I actually have that same super Nintendo display minus the TV I only paid $50 for it and it works fine, I picked it up back in 2007 when nobody cared about it.
I remember playing the snes kiosk when I was 13. Got it for Christmas that year.
I came across an N64 kiosk in Fayetteville, NC. The dude wanted $1,200 for it. I wanted it, but didn't need it or the debt. Lol
One day, I'll get one.
So glad I picked a Snes Kiosk up like 4 years ago... prices and rarity are crazy these days.
What did you paid?
I love watching these @Rick because I just recently got a PS2 slim for Christmas that my wife got for 70 bucks at pawn shop and I've always liked the PS2 and the game selection it had on it and I'm on the hunt collecting PS2 games and other PS2 stuff I want for my collection.
You ever hear of punctuation, my guy?
In Argentina (Buenos Aires) I saw a almost new, in box, Superman for the N64... for the weird price of $110. I saw it this weekend when I got a boxed Goldeneye 007 that I got for $70
NESAddict and NESComplex in one video?!? You brought out all the heavy hitters for this video! 🤟🤟👊
She says the Kiosk isn't for sale... yet it is on a cement floor with a TV leaning on it... take care of your stuff dude!
They have so much game gear! None of my local stores carry many game gear games (although I feel like I’m the only person playing the system at times)
Love the game gear!
Hey. Your theory makes sense.
Your top games only hit 100 maybe, then your next top 100 get "obscure" or "odd" games or rare games, then at your 300 you gotta be closing in on similar games with in the first 100 and on.
Ive never heard it but i agree with it
Awesome stuff
Got a notification this morning and thought it was a new video but no it was yesterday’s video only 15 hr late😂
Turning down $2K for a kiosk collecting dust that you haven't tested in at least a decade is certainly A Choice.
Seems like she wasn’t looking to sell anything lol
She literally said it wasn’t for sale lmao
@@noahdittman8835 I understand that, but I don't understand why considering it's collecting dust for a DECADE lol
If she liked it that much it would be displayed In her video game store you know the places that actually display these types of things lol
@@joshuahoops9430 exactly lol “sentimental value” but it’s on the floor in the back room
Robin used to be a pretty hot goth chick 20 or so years ago. My awkward teenage self definitely crushed on her back in the day lol.
1000%
Good stuff man
Cobra triangle is fantastic.
I’m pretty sure she’s selling it to S.C. Johnson,so they can do a commercial for their cleaning product Pledge.
Top notch editing
Great Video 5 Stars!!!!!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If she’s not gunna sell that kiosk she should at least pick it up off the floor and clean it up.
I found a super nintendo kiosk on Facebook Marketplace recently for $550. No monitor, but the light does work and the guy says he has the original display console as well. Should I pull the trigger on it? It's fully complete minus the TV and the giant stand it sat on it the store.
Probably not if you have to ask people online... Do some research on it for it's "market" value... Compare prices to other sold/listed in similar condition. At the end of the day the $550 is completely up to you to spend. It's either worth it to you, or it's not ya know?
@@hydren7600 I get what you are saying. I am currently doing research ,but was just hoping someone else may know more about kiosks than I do. It's cool for sure ,but it's hard to find a number on it ,because they are all over the place. Nothing as low as what this guy is asking though.
Did you end up purchasing the kiosk?
Well you tried! Lol! That was supercool!
Had that sega console when it was new. Played Sega CD and Sega Genesis games.
captain snatchy strikes again 🤣🤣
The rare game cube store kiosk I saw only 1 at the Shriners hospital I never saw a McDonald’s or Best Buy
Man I wish I had a game store like this near me
Yeah The Video Game Cavern is awesome. I've been going there since it opened. The used to have a big booth at the Anderson Jockey lot as well. Been a while since I've been there. Hopefully I'll be able to see you guys at Southeast Game Exchange this year. Has a date been confirmed??
you should get that kind of display case for your store (the gameboy games are in)
Welcome to Off-White Central, where every item you see has been finely antiqued with the last human owner's skin cells and aunt Jackie's nicotine habit.
Man look at the way they have that kiosk tv hanging off the side.
This dude just in my hometown like no problem
Wasn’t expecting to see Robyn on my for you feed!!
Look at that zelda.
Dope boys love the sega genesis. That was the console for a dope boy .. that or the neo geo. My home boy from oaklands pops was a big D Boy . They always had all the neo geo fighting games. Use to love playing it
Hey nice I have one of those snes kiosks!
She said they wouldnt have been here today without you Nes addict 😂🎉❤ shes right lol
I do think Sega genesis gets overlooked a lot. Sega genesis was my first console, so I've always been more of a sega fan. Even though every daycare and other place had things that were nintendo, never felt like mine.
I love this video, bro! Keep it going!
Between you and pixel plus I get my game fix 👍
There is one of the snes kiosk at a game store near Me called Grumpy Bobs great store. Don't think it's forsale but gets played every time I go.
I have fond memories of Cobra Triangle.
I always hear the differences so for the record which is it actually?
Mare E-O
or
Marr E-O
??
The genesis was my favorite console. I never had anything Nintendo.
Congrtz! Certainly livin' the Dream! 😄❤️🇵🇭
I still have sonic spinball. I got it when it first came out. 😂 sheesh I’m getting old
Shout out Daytona Beach! 😎
10:59 the best collection app that costs zero dollars
I don't care what people say, the Sega Genesis was an awesome system. I know some gamers like to "take sides" and choose either Sega or Nintendo for those kind of discussions, but honestly, I loved and played games from both. I was that kind of gamer nerd as a kid. I feel absolutely blessed that I've essentially gotten to witness the majority of video game evolution from when I was a kid and the original NES and SNES stuff was around.
The only thing that bums me out about all this is the most "modern" stuff for companies like XBox and Playstation are trying to opt for more "digital only" style of gaming, which I don't think is right at all. I prefer if gamers have the OPTIONS for either digital or physical gaming. But that's just me.
Love this !
Great stuff dude!!
