Grailbound Gaming

Hi, I’m Zach! Welcome to my official channel - Grailbound Gaming!!!

A grail is often defined as an item that is of high value or rare, but it doesn’t always have to be. It can be an item that you've longed to own because it gives you feelings of nostalgia, joy, and excitement when you find it.

Come and join me on this journey to find both retro and modern grails to add to my personal video game collection. Along the way, there will be pickups, unboxings, game hunting, reviews, 90s nostalgia, and much more.

Stay tuned in! 🎮

    That's what's up! Even though I missed out on playing these games during childhood, at least I get a chance to experience them now. I'll have to add Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble, and ExciteBike to my list.

    Great video! It’s always awesome seeing others experiencing older Retro consoles for the first time. The NES was my second console I ever owned. The first was the Atari 2600 I got for Xmas when I was 5. Still own all my consoles from 1982 on (2600 up to the PS5). The NES is still one of my favorites. Got a new Sub 👍 Good luck with your channel. It’s a fun journey for sure! I just started my channel a little over a year ago. You’ll meet a lot of really cool people! Game on and I hope your channel continues to grow!

    Cool pick up! The NES is definitely an important thing to preserve in the gaming space. I grew up with the Famicom which is the Japanese version of the NES but most games on the NES should also be on the Famicom. It's definitely important to preserve games especially older ones that we can no longer acquire from stores the normal way but have to go online or go to vintage stores that sell old retro stuff.

    Damn nephew you just now became the owner of a NES? Man I’m happy for you! I’m 48 years old so I grew up with this console and still have my original one, plus all the games! You finna have a BLAST! Real talk! And you got some great games too, some classics! I have a lot of those. Be forewarned Battle Toads is legendary for its difficulty level. Be prepared.

    Thank you for tuning in to watch the video! Yeah, it’s been a few months but essentially I’m new to the NES as a whole. I definitely appreciate the encouragement! It’s been really cool discovering unique games for the console. I have a list and am open to any recommendations you have for sure! Battletoads is definitely difficult from what I’ve played of it lol. I really want to grow in my skills as a gamer with more challenging, unique games that do not hold your hand. I’m happy to say that the NES is providing that type of exposure for me. Silver Surfer is on another level too. Can get past the first stage 😂.
