I have the same feeling for the 80s. And early 90s. Amazing times, indeed. No cells, no internet, just our imaginations, our friends, and the sweet nectar of water from the hose.

I'm literally shaking from the sheere nostalgia this outro gave me. Please give this it's own video. Really want to share it. It perfectly summarizes why i'm collecting N64 and watch WCW Monday Nitro Episodes over and over again. Dude, thank you! ♥️

Im so privileged to have been born in 85. Being the last generation to truly be a kid and have all those wonderful things you talked about but also to grow up as technology grew up. Being able to fully understand and use today's technology but also know how to survive without it is something that is mostly unique to us 80s and early 90s kids

I was born in 86 and I completely agree. MAN we got so lucky, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

The final segment on the 90s is so good. Thanks for the flashback of memories!

Never realize what a golden era your in until it's over, that ending hit hard as a 95 kid. Some of the last true childhoods 90s to early 00s in my opinion

Well done 90's montage at the end. Really reminded me of how many awesome movies we had. I don't really watch movies anymore.

Being born in 75 makes me so thankful to grow up when i did. I was able to enjoy the best of toys and the best gaming era ever. To live it all and watch it unfold created truly amazing memories. Great outro. Reminded me alot of when AVGN did the outro on growing up in that era. You cant truly appreciate it unless you lived it and reflecting on it bring the happiness of the memories and the tears of wishing you could do it all again.

I am absolutely bombarded by this video going from a regular cool swap meet to a brief summary of the beauty that was the 90s. Makes me wish I was born a decade earlier.

@@RoodStreetCollectibles Yeah but he's right about the kids now a days not knowing how to interact with each other. Back then we knew how to talk to our friends and hang out with them. We played video games in the same room. Now kids play online, but they are actually by themselves. The person on the headset is across the globe not sitting across from you in the living room. You talked crap in person and had a blast. Sure sometimes you got mad about losing, but you always stayed friends. Today kids are alone and spend more time talking to strangers they will most likely never meet. Riff is right the 90's where a better time for society in general.

Was gonna say the same: tuned in for a video about swap meet and got an essay at the end about how we can never go back home. I do miss then. Some mornings I can wake up and feel what it was like to step outside my house, look at the grass and trees outside and have no idea what any celebrity was doing- or even my friends until I tried to call them. I could spend all day playing one game and not feel a single murmur of other outstanding obligations.

Dam Riff your bit about the 90's was moving! Really hit home with me x much love from the UK ❤

That outro made me so happy that i grew up in the 90's, it brought back so many good memories. Sometimes i feel old but i can at least say i grew up in one of the best generations.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and feel extremely blessed to have experienced the 2 best eras of all time.. that 90s tribute to end the video was pure gold. Great job, Riff!

You guys need to make that 90s video it’s own video and post it on other socials so it’s easy to share! You guys captured the feeling of the 90s perfectly and i want as many people to see it as possible. What an unbelievable time we got to live through and experience fully

Still don’t understand how this channel doesn’t have over a million subs. Epic video and love the outro. Almost brought a tear to my eye😢😊

The 90's outro was masterpiece, but there are levels of nostalgia, Aaron. Hearing you frame those words against the thoughtful sound-track, and the intentionally meaningful inflections of your voice... it made me nostalgic for Retro Liberty.

Randomly came across Retro Rick about 6 months ago, got hooked. Finally got curious to see what else Riff and Ricky were up to and have been thoroughly enjoying this and the Plus channel. But this video... holy moly. As a father of 6 (soon to be 7), this really encapsulates the kind of world we are desperately trying to raise these kids into. Loved loved loved that outro.

Dang, Ricky always has the best shirts to me. Gambit was one of my favorites on the X-men cartoon and he has an ALL OVER print of it? He can't keep getting away with all of his shirt swag. I need that and his Gengar shirt. Love the video. Always enjoy seeing you guys have fun and the energy in these videos.

The ending is really something special, well said A-A-RON♥

The end about the 90s hit me right in the heart 😢

you nailed the 90s in 5 min, amazing stuff riff. so happy I got to live in it. born in 87.

Awesome montage brother. That's exactly how I feel about the 80s, and even the early 90s. I turned 13 in the summer of 1990 and it's a time in my life that I look back on and cherish with great admiration.

Dude. This might be my favorite video on all of KZread, ironic I know being on a social media platform. Well done. Then end was fantastic. As a child of the 90s it saddens me that today's age is instant gratification but I know I can always go back with my collection of my past.

Outstanding. Just incredible video Riff.

How silly you guys are in the majority of the video juxtaposed with the seriousness of the outro really hit hard. And that silliness really kind of echoes the 90s friendships you were describing at the end. Well done! Love you guys!

Damn that Ode to Nostalgia got me 🥲

Riff, great job!👍🏾 Showing and talking about the 90,s! All those clips and everything you said really got to me, I have a 12 year old boy and he has no idea what it was like for guys like us! I gotta show him this! Keep it up Pixel squad 👏🏾 What up Ricky!!! 🎮🕹

Ending caught me off guard & it hurts too deeply because of how true it is, 90s-early 00s are just simply unmatched

I was born in 1991 and I shed a tear listing to you talk about the 90s every word you spoke Is true and all of us toys r us kids will be the only ones who know the fond feelings you speak of I can say I'm proud to have been a part of such simple times and hope one day maybe just maybe the world cab get back to such cool times I hope to one day meet you riff your awesome and remind me of the 90s

Love this video. Brings back memories from the 90s.

Wasn't expecting the 90s tribute to hit me like that. 😢

90s= the GOAT years

That 90's clip was awesome and you are right we can never get back the innocence of the 90's or even earlier. I remember when my next door neighbor got an intellivision and it started my game fever and collecting. As Archie Bunker would say.. those were the days

Wow what a heartfelt speech about what we all once knew in the 90s. Absolutely love this channel

This is the best PGS video yet. Riff crafted an absolute masterpiece of a tribute to the greatest decade of all time. To start with with a swap meet where Riff and Ricky both were in excellent moods and firing on all cylinders to end with that tribute was nothing short of incredible. This feels like your guy's Magnum Opus. With the swelling score and Riff's incredible monologue over expertly crafted video of pure 90s nostalgia, it simply doesnt get better than this on all of KZread. I cant express how much I appreciate you guys and the work you put in for your dedicated fans. This video was a rollercoaster of memories and emotions ending with a heartfelt nod to the greatest generation of nerds and collectors the world will ever know. We love you and we love this channel and a special shout out to Riff for creating what is now my favorite KZread video of all time. Thank you. So much.

Dusty is my spirit animal 💜✨

The retro 90's part was amazing! For me it was the 80's but the same feelings now. Nostalgia is strong. Congrats on 100k subs also, you guys rock!!

Riff, as a 90s kid myself, that outro resonated with me SO MUCH. It was amazing dude. Putting aside ideas like the butterfly effect, If time travel ever becomes a mainstream thing and can be proven to be safe without any detriment to the person time traveling or on the world as a whole from the time after which said person time travels back to, I'd LOVE to go back to the 90s specifically, even if only for a day but hopefully much longer and just bask in the availability of things that I miss. And of course the nostalgia. Like the original first few sets of Pokemon cards, Gameboy Colors and Super Nintendos being on store shelves, getting to rewatch all the classic cartoons on tv, etc. And I'd want some money too so I could bring some of that stuff back to the present with me. The 90s were so awesome! :D

Wow the 90’s montage at the end was insane thanks for bringing back so many good memories with that segment that was great thanks Riff 🖤‼️

I was in my 20's in the 90's, so much fun picking up new Sega games as they came out and then buying a launch PS 1 an playing games with my kids when they were young...

wow, outro is amazing, this is my childhood, thanks

The outro ❤❤❤ ... That needs to be its own video.

the ending of this Vid...boy oh boy...that summed it up for a lot of us...great job guys!!!

Beautiful depiction of the 90s in the end. Glad was born in the best era for kids. Awesome

The 90's was the greatest of all time and i'm very glad and privileged to have been a part of it. I shed a tear watching the end of this video. Thank you very much!! Very touching.

Yoooo that ending got me in the feels 😢. 87' baby here. Growing up in the 90's with my older sister, Was like no other.Thanks for the reminder that we had it good. 😎

damn man....i was NOT expecting to be in TEARS from this video. You described my childhood perfectly and I miss it more than anything.

Dude, that gambit shirt is 🔥🔥🔥 Also, that 90’s bit at the end hit hard. Legitimately one of the best things you’ve ever done on this channel ❤️ ✊

That speech was EVERYTHING. Literally was my childhood and I sure as hell could not have put it into words as eloquently as you did. Thank you so much for that.

I found a Thrashed version of that Mighty Ducks shirt a couple years back and sold it for like $60.

dude that god of war sign was so beautiful

2:23 the mannequin head next to Ricky 😂

Wow. I’m tearing up over here. That was so poignant and bittersweet. Thanks PGS for all the throwbacks and nostalgia. Love y’all!

The best vids on KZread are made by the squad. I envy you guys.

I knew all my closest friends growing up thanks to gaming. We use to talk about our favourite games and moments in secondary school and play out our favourite scenes in Primary school. My favourite memories were going round each other houses playing each others consoles and games. I'm now 30 and feel like with everything being online people aren't truly connected. Talking to people online is ok but it doesn't feel the same then going up to a person randomly, start talking, instantly clicking with them and becoming friends. That Outro really reminded me of my childhood.

It's one of the greatest videos you've done. Absolutely brought a smile and atear to my face. Great job on this one

Born in 84 and wow, Riff. I had a FLOOD of memories come back and at times teared up. Excellent job.

It's sad we'll never see it again and the people that didn't get to will never experience nothing like it

Love the 90s outro Aaron. The 90s was simply amazing. So many awesome music, movies, cartoons, video games and toys. Thank you for taking the time to make this throwback outro. Take me back to that time please.

9-11 changed everything. 😢 Thank you for that outro. Goose bumps x1000.

Great 90s summary. I've always thought that it's strange that this generation as you say in need of instant gratification have access to the most amount of knowledge (literally in their pockets) yet they seem to be the least informed. Phones and social media have sadly dumbed down society instead of increasing the average intellect 😞

Dude, making me cry right now.

Riff, that ending was incredible! I know you had to be emotional doing that voice over because, as a 90’s kid myself, I got teary eyed watching it. Fantastic work

Dirty Dusty Does it Again! Comes through lol. Good 90’s nostalgia bit at the end, had me in the feels real hard. Good times, good friends and great fun! 👍🏼

I miss the old times kids now will never understand what the 90s/early 2000s were like when I pass I want to relive the good times for ever on repeat with everyone

well dang that bit at the end just brought me to tears because thats exactly what i tell others when they ask me why do i collect all this retro stuff i love this community i know we all feel this way so dont ever let your inner child die keep these memories alive !

The 90s was the best great to have been a child in the 90s if I could back in time I would pick 90s

I know I'm already a few days late, but what you did from 14:49 minutes onwards was one of the deepest, most nostalgic, melancholic and even saddest things I've ever seen. Many congratulations to whoever put that together and to whoever wrote the text. It seems like your thing, Riff, and if it's your thing, you really touched several points that are very dear to me, but at the same time very sensitive as well. I was born in 1978, so I'm an archaic dinosaur by today's standards, I grew up during half of the 80s, but I especially remember the 90s as the definitive era of my personal and intellectual development. There will never be anything like this era again, from music, to video games, to the physical interaction we had and the simplicity and lightness that everything seemed to have. Everything was real and simpler. Personally, I'm from a generation that was born analogue, but grew up digital, so I've experienced both sides of the coin. Pieces like this make me want more and more to go back in time, even though I know that won't be possible. It makes me sad, like I said, but also very happy to have lived in that time and to have had so many good memories that I've been able to hold on to to this day. A big THANK YOU to all of you, Pixel Game Squad. I've been following your content for a while now and it's because of moments like these that I know how real you are and I appreciate what you do to try and capture those times through your collections. Thank you very much to all of you!

The 90s!!! ❤

Riff! Tony here from Carthage Missouri Born and raised in Anaheim I have endless memories of walking the same paths at Golden West Swapmeet every Saturday morning the way you and the crew walk now. Bro I just want to say that what your doing is Terrific. What you just presented today in this video is truly inspiring and amazing. Thank you for keeping the 90s life alive and thank you for what you do! Keep it UP! ( I use to work for computer works Goodwill in Santa Ana so its Cool to see Brian in your videos from time to time lol )

Dude that outro…no words man. Brought tears to my eyes. Love it. Please make a separate clip of just that lead up and outro so it can be shared more widely. Thank you for making thar

Editor Rift totally hitting us with that morgan freeman like outro was nothing short of amazing . U just put our hole lives in a 7min clip and it took many of us back I'm sure like it was yesterday . We are blessed to have lived during such an era . I wouldn't trade it for the world . If I could go back to those Days I would in heart beat . I miss it all so much . Thanks for that man .

Part of the reason I watch and collect is to get a piece of that nostalgia... To see you guys finding the things I grew up with and remembering the simpler times. That outro hit it! Thank you for putting that together and reminding us of what we had.

I was born in 1990 and feel very blessed to have experienced every year of it. Having 2 older sisters show me the way and guide me through that decade is an experience I will forever be grateful for.

Wtf was that ending??!! My wife nearly started crying and I just don't find any words. Brilliant, seriously, I don't know if you edited it Riff, or you "just" wrote it and narrated it, but it's beautiful and brilliant. Huge shout out to whoever edited it as well, it is perfect. The piano, the videos, the message, it's just perfect. (apparently I did find some words lol, also thanks Ricky for his Goldfinger performance , really made my day🤘)

Shout out to Ricky the X-Men shirt was clean as all get-out very fresh

Duuuude. That outro made me feel the magical memories of the past. It was a real gift. Love you guys

Oh my gosh that outro really hit me off guard I absolutely loved it! Not ashamed to say it choked me up a bit. Over the last month or two I've been bingeing your back catalogue because I just love being a part of the fun that you guys have then suddenly this... This put into words exactly how I feel about collecting and WHY WE DO IT! Thank you Riff and the rest of PGS!!

Dude...hats off my friend, that was beautiful ✌

I was a 70’s kid and 80’s teenager, so I really appreciated your reminiscing about what it was like to be a kid in the 90’s. Thank you!

Riff, That whole short about the '90s that you put on the second half of the video, you got to post that all by itself, it's something that's got to go viral, You brought up things man I haven't thought about since I was 5 or 6 years old

Wow I did not expect a love letter to the best decade. I have had this same sentiment. Thank you for that.

Brother, that outtro was unreal and really hit home. It temporarily brought back the feelings/memories of being with my family members that are no longer here. The countless hours of game play and tv shows with my brother. Please make another one

That outro should be it's own youtube video. amazing!

wow that was the best outro ever!! keep doing those!

Born in 97 So I still had a good amount of the spill over of the 90's in my early 2000's childhood and your outro reminded me of much more simple times.

I was born in 86, this made me nostalgic for the 90s. Great job summing up what it was like. Thank you.

the outro kicks very different, remembering all of this stuff makes me very happy. 90s so simple but beautiful

you truly never appreciate something tell its gone thats for sure. i miss the 90s so much thanks for finding all this footage and resparking my love for things in the 90s and as i sit here playing runescape i think about all the memorys of my childhood thank you

DUDE! the end is amazing just amazing and soo true... Maybe someday just maybe we can have our 90's return once again... Thanks Riff and the Crew for that great flash back to the best times, Keep it alive with this channel please and great work. /crying
