Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Big thanks to Pixel Vault Games in Ontario California for all the help with what I needed to get my retro NES system going . Great place and good prices if you’re in the area .

That guy behind the counter seems like a real genuinely nice guy. That’s how you get return customers

I'd like to see you make a series out of you playing the games. A flood of childhood memories came back to me as you were playing.

I'll never forget the Christmas I got my NES. My mom was a single parent, so we never had much money. Getting a Nintendo as a gift was pretty much out of the question as they were just too expensive. However, with some help from family and friends, my mom was able to get us a Nintendo that Christmas. Wow, what a surprise that was! This really brought back some great memories!

Nintendo, it's a cereal, wow! Those of us over 40 just enjoyed a chuckle.

Retro gaming nostalgia overload! It’s amazing how good they built these consoles. The fact that they still work decades after is mind-blowing. Me and my brother have an NES in our collection too. Have fun with your system and great video as always!

As young as Adam’s heart is, he doesn’t seem to play games regularly , it’s interesting to see you appreciate these vintage games

My parents were broke but we always had the essentials like roof over our heads and food on the table My cousins didn't want to have anything to do with me but a select few became my friends. So when my parents surprised me with a freaking NES (despite there being super nintendo and sega's at the time) I was so happy I was crying. I believe I was 6 or 7 years.old.

Makes me want to go back to the 80's...Now if You can just Find a Time Machine....

Adam definitely has a unique way of holding a controller😅, to each their own haha.

You should 100% do some retro gaming playthoughs. I love this stuff

I enjoyed this from the nostalgia perspective as well as the "seeing the genuine excitement' in your face. stay safe and excellent

Blowing on those cartridges is a huge part of my youth too. So iconic!

My goodness... when life was simpler as a child... I have fond memories of having competitions with my brothers alongside with my mom, who often times would beat us on Mario Bros. She had no idea what she was doing, but just pushing buttons and beginner's luck! Great memories!

So Fun Seeing U Go Through The Process Of Bying The Game Console To Playing It! Thanks For Sharing! Take Care & Have An Amazing Weekend!

You are about to go down a huuuuuuge rabbit hole!!! Its going to be great and I can't wait to follow you along this journey.

I'll never forget when my dad brought the Nintendo home for us one random day in 1985. I was only 7, but I knew we were poor, so this was a BIG deal for us. (My mom wasn't too happy he bought it, lol) We then proceeded to spend the next decade fighting with him over playing "next." LOL, my dad was a big kid... his favorite was probably Mike Tyson's Knock Out. Aside from Super Mario Bros, my favorite was Excitebike. I didn't really know what I was doing, but boy did I love designing the track :)

Nintendo has been around since the 1890's. They used to make hanafuda (Japanese flower) playing cards and their most popular set (drumroll) had Disney characters on them! The Famicom was kinda neat, the 2nd controller has a microphone and Zelda used it. There was a character in the game called "Pols Voice" who would be scared away if you yelled into the mic. Anyway, looking forward to more video game content from you. :D

Really enjoyed this episode! I wouldn’t mind seeing some retro gaming from time to time. My wife and I are in our 40’s as well and relate to many of your references and childhood memories. Thank you for the quality entertainment! We would love a meet and greet if you ever pass through Chattanooga!!!!

I loved this video. It was a nice change of pace and very nostalgic. I'd watch more of these.

This Takes Me Back To 89’ When My Parents Bought Me My First NES Good Old Childhood Days Opening Up That BOX On My Birthday The 8 Year Ole Me Enjoyed Every Moment 🙂 R.I.P. Pops I Will Never Forget This ❤️

Want more of this Adam... its nostalgic for sure... i say do it when your in the mood, so yiu don't burn out. Love the vids and take care.

That’s very cool to see Adam The Woo and Jerry James of Ontario History Vlogs together at Pixel Vault in Ontario, CA. I thought of Jerry at the beginning of this video because he has featured this store before and then what a surprise to see him in your vlog Adam. I highly recommend his channel for some cool history of the Inland Empire area of Southern California.

Absolutely should do more videos like this. Was so fun seeing you get excited playing Mario. Just put a huge smile on my face. This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours in a very long time. Just seeing and hearing that childhood enthusiasm and nostalgia coming out.

Watching Adam reliving his childhood is so awesome! I was literally yelling at my phone...NO IT’S THE FIRST PIPE! NOOO YOU MISSED THE FLOWER!!! hahaha so much fun!

Contra was a fav of mine: Remember the way to get free extra lives? I do.... Enter: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A and Start.... Have fun Adam!

Adam it's so awesome you stopped by Pixel Vault. I've purchased all of my retro consoles from Mando!

Hey Woo. Get that Mega Man 5 for $27. Thats a hell of a deal. I haven't seen a Mega Man 5 for under $90.

If the games got dirty and wouldn’t work I remember I’d take a q tip and dip in rubbing alcohol then wipe the inner cartridge. Games worked after that

I guess we have lost adam for a long while now, nintendo is gonna take over LOL

Yes, more Nintendo vlogs please. This is the definition of nostalgia!

That very last clip where you got so excited and showed the close up of Mario on the edge...I just had surgery 2 days ago, so it hurts to laugh and you caused me great pain. 😂

This is one of the most wholesome vlog episodes I have seen in a long time! Please do more of this! As a gamer myself and in my 30's, this brings nothing but nostalgia.

It would be cool to see you go back to the Pixel Vault and pick up some more stuff

I loved this! It was a great crossover episode of things I watch most on YT, The Woo and Retro Gaming vids (The Game Chasers, AVGN etc). I especially enjoyed watching you play and your reactions. More plz.

Great video and shop...childhood nostalgia!! Interesting way to hold the controller. I always used my thumb on A and B. We used to lose our tempers and chuck those controllers. They never broke. Indestructible!

So much nostalgia. I wish there were stores like this around me. There used to be two retro video games stores nearby, but sadly both closed. The last one closed due to robberies, and also COVID complications. Now there are no more stores nearby that take or sell vintage games. :'(

I still have mine from the 80s. I totally could’ve sent it to you. No one has used it in years. Glad you have one now! 😁👍

Great vlog Adam! Took me back to the day I got my Nintendo with that original box! Thanks for sharing.

I was reliving my childhood along with you, Adam. Certainly a blast from the past.

When I was a kid my cousin had the original ATARI and when I would go to her house I would sit and play for hours on end. Loved Frogger!

It made me happy just seeing how happy this made you. Enjoy, Adam!

You are killing it with your videos recently Adam. Energy is good and you seem happy. I always love the ones where you at least start at home, it feels like visiting a friends house! And to answer your question, sure I’d be down for some casual old school gaming content. Thank you so much for your videos!

I am happy that you are living life the best way you can! I always get a smile on my face whem I watch your videos. Thank you Adam.

I spent many hours playing Mario Brothers and Zelda in the 80’s! It was a Christmas gift from Santa for me and my Sister. I wish we kept it!

Man, that is sweet! I totally get what your saying. You just like myself and thousands of others spent countless hours playing those. Thanks for the share Adam. Two Thumbz

that was cool Adam seeing all that vintage stuff. and the Nintenodo console. Thanks for the video.

I love this throwback. Keep Having fun with it!

Great “SCORE” Adam! Wish I lived closer to this store. What a nice owner too.

AWESOME!!!!! I keep hoping you would finally get a NES! And you've talked about Legendary Wings so many times I knew you'd be getting it! So happy for you buddy!

This video was so awesome. I grew up in the 80's and remember playing all those games. Please continue to make more videos like this. That store and owner were super cool.

Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching!

I literally sang “It’s a breakfast now” in my head right before you said, no not the breakfast cereal. 😂

You should make more gaming content. This video was a fun surprise.

OMG I loved watching you play! Hope you make more videos like this

Wow I already love your channel but now you touched on something I also love, collecting and playing retro games. I've been to Pixel vault numerous times and love Armando such an awesome dude

Like a kid in a candy store. Birthday gift to himself bringing out the 11 year old Woo.

It’s funny how blowing on the games was just something we discovered, I don’t think anyone ever told us we just figured it out. 😂

Your video was very enjoyable. I love how you don’t rush everything, and you bring us through the whole process with you. You are very pleasant to all the people you encounter which is very endearing to watch. I thought you were going to show us HOW to hook the darn thing up to a TV, which is my issue with an SNES I have, but that’s my bad for misreading your title. But I still enjoyed the vid! I’ll take a look to see if you made another vid of how to hook it up. God bless.

Nice! I need to make a drive up there some time. The store and guy is so chill, very down to earth

Picture looks a bit wacky - just need to adjust the aspect ratio to 4:3. Enjoy the sweet memories!

I remember the Zelda NES game. It had a gold case unlike the typical gray. The neatest part was that it had a chip in it that allowed you to save your progress unlike the other NES games where you had to play the whole game in one sitting because you couldn't save.

Thanks Adam for the memories I have that in my basement and I will have to figure out how to set that all up. I play video games once in a while when I am bored and want something to do. Have a lot of fun and thanks for memories.

I love how i just watched the whole video and when you started playing i was like go go go you got this!

The way you hold the controller is the most offensive thing I've ever seen.

I've never seen someone hold the controller like that..was it bugging anyone else???😂😂

You're overhand player! Nostalgia is a powerful drug, I still play Nintendo to this day and love it

The way you grip the controller is killing me! LOL. Awesome video regardless!

Although the SNES is my favorite console of all time, I think the NES might have had the biggest impact on me and my love for video games. I had an Atari 2600 from 1983 to 1988/89, but the NES was a huge step in the evolution of video games. Super Mario Bros, the Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, Mega Man, etc. It was such a fantastic console, and it's too bad collectors have forced the over inflation of prices of retro games.

This was an instant thumbnail like.

You just combined my two favorite things in one video.. atw and gaming. And I couldn't be happier!

I love retro gaming and I loved this vlog! Hope to see more Nintendo vlogs lol

Adam the Woo, today was transformed into , Adam the KID. 😉

It's crazy that we played Mario so much I still remember everything!!! Haven't played in 20 years. 😂

What a VERY cool shop. I suck at videogames, but I sooooooooooooo LOVE the old consoles. I've got an Atari VCS, Intellivision, NES, SEGA Master System, Genesis, and a hacked Wii! You so gotta get a hacked Wii!!! Also an NES Everdrive cart will allow you to play any game you want. I LOVE my stuff, but as I get a bit older I've been trying to downsize a bit. I also LOVE Thrift Store shopping so I've bought most of my stuff along with way too many old laptops there. Anyway, thanks for changing it up! So funny to re-connect with the systems/games that brought you joy as a kid. :)

i have an nes system that's been sitting in my storage unit in garden grove since i moved to san bernardino 5 yrs. ago (long story). i'm moving back to orange county next month and you've inspired me to dig my system out and fight to save zelda once more!

This is so Cool and Fun! Was that Einstein's doppelganger?......

The tv picture looks odd because it’s on “pan and scan” or something similar. It’s stretching the edges of the picture to fill the screen. You can turn that setting off.

I love this video! The cool thing and coincidence is that I just brought my NES out of the attic after 20 years and started playing with it 2 weeks ago. I am now learning piano using the Miracle that uses the NES that I got for Christmas in 1990. Thanks Adam!!!

Now these are the videos I want to see. Great one man!

Oh sweet! The original Legend of Zelda and Punch Out were my jam back in the day. I remember Top Gun and Duck Hunt dog made see red, lol.

Hi Adam, may have to bring Big The Foot inside so he doesn’t miss you! I’m thinking you might be in there a while 😊👍

Bringing back the memories....thank you for the awesome video....

So glad Adam you got an NES!!! Would've helped you get one had I known you needed one (I collect these on the side) but support your channel here in Tampa nonetheless. Enjoy your new vice, lol. I don't normally post comments but you're like that virtual buddy that DOES what we all WANT to do...live life, kudos brotha for living your dreams. So, I thouggt it was worth saying. Also, a quick shoutout to Angry Video Game Nerd (a.k.a.: AVGN) and Metal Jesus Rocks, 2 KZfaqrs whom both focus on NES reviews and nostalgic throwback from the 80s we all know and love, just though they might be worth checking out. Thanks for all you do, keep doing what you love, my man. Peace & God Bless :):):)

We couldn’t afford Nintendo when I was a kid; we had the Sears Atari system instead

Isn’t it amazing that all the old stuff still works after 30+ years??? “Don’t make em like they used to” nothing like Nintendo 👊🏻 can’t wait for Epic Universe!

Thanks for posting, brings back so many good memories as a kid growing up in the 80's!

Omg. I needed this. I have never laughed so hard watching you play Super Mario bros . Your animation reminded me of when I was a kid playing this game. It was like I was watching myself play 35yrs ago. That was absolutely awesome Adam.

Adam. You lost weight bro! Looking good. Keep it up.

Used to have a Nintendo had that game you're playing the Mario Brothers love that game

I remember playing Nintendo for hours and hours in the mid-1980s. Awesome memories of when life was so much simpler, a lot more fun, with no bills to pay just playing games for hours on end.

I have never (to this day) solved Super Mario Bro (46 year old shame), I will have to give that a go. Great episode man. You will need to invite your sister out to CA for sone nostalgic memories. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week. Take care.

If you haven’t already, your tv is stretching the image to fit the game, there may be a setting to change it to the original 4:3 aspect ratio. I also saw that Pixel’s has Archon, great classic game! It’s like chess but you actually battle to win your moves.

That weird rubber band stretchy then stretch back effect on your screen has to do with a setting on the TV. Can't remember exactly which. Might be worth getting an old CRT TV so you can play Duck Hunt, heck...just play them all on it!

Great video Adam, would love to see more like this! It would be cool to see separate videos highlighting each game and talking about their history as your collection grows 👾🕹🎮📺👍

You the man ! Glad to see you enjoying it. Im 58, soon 59, i have ps1-2-3-4, psvr, psp, and sega saturn. Clean fun !

I still have my old NES sitting on the shelf. Haven't played it in years though. Now you just need to buy a Playstation 5 so you can see how much video games have advanced since the NES days. They've certainly come a long way.

"We are Nintendo. You cannot beat us."

Thanks for the nostalgia trip. I still have my Super Nintendo in the garage.

Awesome! I fired up my original Gameboy a few months ago, now I know how to clean it up, epic. Yes yes yes some good old fashioned Duck Hunt would be a great video!!!!
