Intro and outro theme:

The Game Chasers are 2 friends hunting for retro video game in flea markets, garage sales, game stores and people's homes! And they are a bunch chodes

[zodiac]

I can remember a game chasers episode where Billy and Jay where arguing about having kids and Jay saying that Billy would have someone to play games with and Billy's response was that he'd have someone to fight over games with. How times change.

It is so interesting to hear you talk about gaming with your son. I binged the Chasers Episodes thoughout the last couple of weeks again... and there is this moment, where you argue with Jay about a kid taking your games... and him saying... "No, you got a buddy to play with." Im very happy for you, that being a father makes you happy.

[BigRetroShow]

So much nostalgia. I like the approach of collecting only what you want. I think it was a good move to keep your office clutter free

[qwqwqwqw]

Being able to share this with your son is the greatest achievement a collector can have. Happy for you!

[kevinmota]

Everytime I watch your videos I go back to my childhood. Playing the NES and Genesis with my younger brother. Now I am collecting my childhood games I owned or rented back then. It's wonderful to see you and your son bonding over the love of video games. It's the pleasure and sense of happiness to play with the ones you love. Times I haven't forgotten to this day. Keep up the great work Billy!

[Sammickk]

I had to choke back the tears when you got to the part about your son... I started collecting back in 2007-ish with my bro, and a few years back i came to the same realization, the collection wasn't just for me alone anymore... My son and I sit in our basement gameroom together about every evening playing games.

I came across a reddit post where people were bitching because you guys "sold off your game collection" i remember thinking at the time SO WHAT! its there's to do what they please with! regardless of the reason if you want to sell its yours to do so. people love to find things to complain about. anyway it looks like you still have a hell of a collection! i really like the way you have everything setup!

[vinman]

I love these game room tours. Jay should do one now.

[JunoMRPB]

Billy, at 19:47 there's a shot of your son pulling a game off the wall. To his right, a copy of Mystery Quest. I have had that game stuck in my head for the last 30 years as I played it at a neighbor's house as a kid but couldn't remember just what it was called. This stood out and clicked immediately. Same game. Thanks for triggering the nostalgia!

Two things: 1. A cat + my game room terrifies me (spraying etc), you’re a brave soul! 2. I’ve been watching you guys forever and showed a portion of this to my wife, since I can’t wait to do the same with my kids… Happy for you man, super awesome to see you build those memories - let him experience the same adventures that will stick with him forever

[EckhartsLadder]

Beautiful hardcover of Heir to the Empire and the Thrawn trilogy there :)

If you want to keep the figures in the case from falling over, you could try to stick them down with something. Probably not actual glue or anything, but depending on how heavy they are a little piece of double-sided tape might even do the job. Love the game room!

[samye]

Feeling down lately and I used videos from you to cope. It’s a great thing to see you get personal and see growth from you. I love this channel so much. :, )

[digiprez]

Wow, we had the EXACT same little Magnavox TV at our cabin when I was a kid. You pull out the top knob to turn it on, and the bottom button does nothing discernable lol.

[KaijuLover]

Game room looks amazing looks like an old 80s style basement

[mumfnah]

6:34 look out for cassette shelving, perhaps?
I have 3 wooden shelves, I picked up from a charity shop. Were made for cassette storage by someone, but they hold my loose 2600 carts pretty much perfectly. Depth is a little shy, like a cm only, but just makes easier for picking games out 👍

[TomMinnick]

15:02, I don't have the Skystriker, but I think I have the other toy shown on the top shelf in my office too! Cool video, thanks for the tour! A trip down memory lane.

[MrThunderwing]

Nice toy display in the curio cases! Just one thing though - your Transformers shelf: You've displayed Skywarp like a conehead seeker and Thrust like a normal one. They should be the other way around (and it's triggering a little OCD voice in my brain...)

[numberoneappgames]

To be surrounded by what you love, is all apart of life's joy. <3

It may have been blurred, but I saw a special little guys smile perfectly and it warmed my heart ❤
