You look great every morning, Luke!

Hope you have a great Friday and weekend dude. Also thanks for the compliments at the beginning of your video

On the way back from our cruise now so I can find out how my first box of the new year lines up. Great box and love the updates to their box and cards. I need to finally pickup a Retron 5 this year to play these older classics. Almost wish they sold them as well to save me from my procrastination lol. You nailed it, these games contain our memories inside along with the chips and screws for most of us. Some of them still hold that fun value 35 years later. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Sarge!! Hope you all had a lovely cruise! :)

Jay, I love the second camera and you got some absolute bangers in this box no matter what anyone else would say. If you're happy with the picks, that's what counts. VGM treating you amazing in 2024. I think it'll be a theme. PS -That serenade in the middle of the video, we're here for it!

Good Haul!! Aladdin would for sure be in my top 20!!!

Wow very good box this month, this was a good month for me as well

Very nice box this month! Great NES titles for sure. Super Dodge Ball is a gem! Great game and even better unboxing Jay! 🤙🏼

Got some bangers in there!!! Happy New Year!

I just realized that Altered Space on the Gameboy is by the same developer as Solstice and is essentially the exact same game. Neat.

A little jealous of Aladdin. I love the SNES and Sega Disney games. Pretty good box.

Man that’s a great box! I added Genesis back to my box NES/SNES/N64 group so hoping I get something fun.

For me the SNES version of Aladdin is the best. This is due to one feature, the sound. I just can't get behind the sound chip in the Genesis when it's playing songs I know from the real world. Love the two cameras in this video!

Duuude!! Super dodge ball has always been one of our go to on the nes..Great Box!!!

Awesome box this month!!!! Super Dodgeball was one of my favorite NES games and one I would rent over and over again back in the day!!!!

Fun video. I like the blind review and your thoughts on each game!

@@SquarePegs It wasn't bad but I'm glad to hear you are looking to improve. I liked it but I would maybe try elevating the second camera a bit. Also, maybe reducing the angle it is away from you? Like, bring it in closer to your main camera like you are talking to 2 people in front of you rather than one in front and one on the side (if that makes sense?). I don't do video anymore ( I used to some for work) so what do I know. This is nitpicky but I really want to help you if I can at all as I enjoy the content.

It was 100% a test bed run for this video to see if I even liked having the second perspective (I do!), to see if other people like having the second perspective (they do!), and to see if the cell phone I was using for it would be sufficiently usable (it REALLY isn't!). ;) It'll probably be the camera I use for the time being until I can afford a better one, but the angles and positioning are all in flux. I'll definitely try it a bit more to camera right and see if that works out - I liked having it to the side, but it was wildly unnatural to turn my entire body. Plus - not using my lav mic and it sounded like butt when I would. Your idea solves both issues I had in the immediacy. :) And, truly, I appreciate the feedback. I'm an amateur who just happened to get lucky to have the audience I do, and I can only hope to improve via feedback. I appreciate you, Kyle! :)

That’s a hell of a good box!

Just noticed your Cardinal Copia, didn’t know you were a Ghost fan! Sweet!

Great video, Jay! I actually beat Aladdin for the first time on the PS4 version that came out. If not the for the rewind feature, that never would’ve happened. Even with it, I found it SOOOO frustrating, haha! In general, though, I’m *dreadful* at games, so I’m sure it was a “me” problem. Anyway, awesome video. Love the two-camera setup. Opens up a lot of possibilities, I’m sure.

Fun vid, Jay. Warlock was a theater release starring the late Julian Sands & Richard E. Grant. There were two major theater releases. The first film (1989) was decent and the second was… so so. It descended into “straight to vhs” obscurity afterward. Unfortunately, the game was loosely tethered to the movies. I will have to get that NES Dodgeball game since you recommended it so highly. 😀

Nothing wrong with that in the slightest! I always hope that it's implied when I say something as an absolute - but that's 100% only my opinion and only valid for _me._ I would hope that me saying something would never take away someone else's love of a game just because I have a difference of opinion on it. Thank you so much for watching!

Got my fourth box yesterday. Monetary value wasn't great, but the game quality was really good. Ice Hockey (NES), Dr. Mario (NES), WWF Raw (GB), Triple Play Gold (Gen), and Tetris (NES).

I remember playing Dodgeball but I don't remember where I got it from. For sports games, for some reason I really enjoyed Super Spike V Ball. It was way more fun once I figured out how to do the super spike and super block. I was never able to figure out how to play Solstice. I think I rented it as a kid.

new sub here. Great video. If I didn't already have like 400+ games I'd get this service. but I enjoy your video still. gives me an idea of some games to look for when i go game hunting

Firstly, hand over you "Scottish Card" for forgetting Auld Lang Syne 😂 Solstice would have sold like hot cakes in Scotland, isometric puzzle platform games were a staple for us 😊 I loved Warlock, well I did when I was 16, I'll rewatch just in case 😉

Nice intro for Aladdin. Is there a fence? Not really anything in this box for me. If I had to pick though Super Dodge ball and then Aladdin. SDB can be a lot of fun tossing the ball around and smacking people. lol

Best thing about this video.. you’re a mariners fan. Me too! Depressing. I know. At least I’m hoping you’re not a BILLS fan cause it’s like punching yourself in the nuts over and over with the same results.

These are fun and I like living vicariously through you as I'm not the type of collector who would subscribe although it definitely seems like a lot of fun. My pick is Aladdin and yes, I am one of those that prefers the SNES version over the Genesis version. I recently got both on the Switch as they are included in the Disney Classic Game Collection and enjoy them both. Take care! 🟩
