Hahaha, Mike! Your Intro made my day. I'm glad to have met you at gamescom! Your passion for retro is so crazy! love it😀

[Tarquin]

I wonder now if prices for sealed games will drop at all - I’ve never known a YouTuber or otherwise explain this so directly and within earshot of the general public 👍🏻

[TheRetroMartin]

Good little vid. Phew things noted - Earthworm Jim 2 towards the end showed a level from the first game!

Some great advice in here. Indie scene is currently amazing. In all these decades I haven't noticed the Dev logo inside the case so that's really useful to know!

With the amount of new games being released it's like being back in the 90s. You could get away with not buying a single original run game but have a great time with your console!

Here in the States, brand-new Sega Genesis games didn’t even come with stickers. Some stores would shrink-wrap the boxes, but it varied from retailer to retailer.

Great video. Great subject :)
That is crazy to see the cursed knight in your shelves behind. I feel like it is a real game :)

Best console ever for sure, good vid as always sir 🦾

[astrideavolta]

Absolutely fantastic video Mike - always love your work but this one is an absolute belter! Thank you!

[RetroCrisis]

Many of the popular titles are still reasonably priced luckily

[djberryhardkore]

Mike that’s an excellent point on “sealed” md games. I remember buying brand new games and they were never wrapped in plastic!

[vicentereisdacruz]

Great video, can't imagine how much work to put all together, well done. Thanks for the video,

[PurpleTeamer]

A true passionate gamer and collector.

I'm trying to wrap presents! By the end of the vid I had zero presents wrapped but 3 more megadrive games added to my ebay watch list 😀

Excellent video!

[MrZodiac]

That what I want! Very interesting video Mike

[pounds]

great video mate, it was a great watch, merry xmas and thank you for all the content this year.

[Zobbster]

Brilliant video Mike! I can only imagine that the breakdown of the remaining games was painful to work out... that's a scary number haha

[codydfwn]

Since 1990? Respect my dude. Great tips and advice. Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it. You know your stuff for sure.

[terencechan]

Excellent episode Mike! Thanks for all the great insights and tips. I totally enjoyed your Epic video montage at the end which looks like cool Sega Advertisement in today’s HD quality. 👍

[sushpants]

Awesome video! Thanks for putting together such a nice content!
