Love having rob back more frequently.. reminds me of when I started watching..Jonnny you're the best but when you have rob to bounce topics back and forth, feels complete

I am so jealous of the friendship these guys have.

You guys need to get together more often. This was a great episode. Dreamcast is one of my favorite consoles. After Sony and Microsoft got into gaming Segas days were numbered. Gaming hasn't been the same since Sega stopped making consoles

For me going from my ps1 to the Dreamcast was the biggest shock in graphics clarity and color. Just blew my mind.

Loved hearing about Summer of 1999. I remember taking my 3 sons 5,4, and 3 to Star Wars Phantom Mennace for sure. My wife was expecting my 4th son in December. I was taking the boys to arcades alot and we would play games together on PS1. Thanks for these videos.

Johnny do you think that you still have these magical moments nowadays or has the magic worn off over the years? All your stories that you tell ooze with nerd passion. Another great video thank you for sharing

I miss those pre Internet days of actually going to stores. I went to a midnight launch for the Dreamcast actually with a friend who had preordered it and Power Stone was one of the games he bought. That was a great game and I couldn’t believe the graphics and fluid gameplay.

Johnny saying ‘riiiiidge raceeer’ kills me everytime😂😂😂

Not to mention the 1999 was when the matrix came out in theatres! What a year! Nothing beats nostalgic memories with best friends! Great vid!

My brother and I got our first dreamcast with blue stinger and we stayed up all night playing that game. Great memories. Thanks for the video John and Rob.

These videos literally make my day!

This really brought me back i miss Zellers and the days of spoil free hype a time we just enjoyed things and didn’t overly pick things apart.

Summers of ‘98 and ‘99 were probably the best days of my youth. Endless summers. Hanging out with friends. Amazing games coming out. Great movies coming out too. And oh man..the Pokemon card hustle was real!

Johnny my man, I know you've probably got your hands full but please do more regular videos, I can't get enough!

Gosh, wish I could go back in time! Loved the Ace Combat series, GTA, Gran Turismo, Wipeout, etc...PS2 was just around the corner...

EVERYONE needs a friend like Rob Man. Some truly beautiful and wholesome stories here

I always love these stories! I never had summer like the one you guys were talking about but I do have one summer gaming memory that really sticks with me. Summer of 2001 when the Gameboy Advance launched. I was 10 and my parents only bought stuff for me for my birthday and Christmas. Neither were close, so I had to save $100 which took most of the summer. During that time, all of my friends were getting GBAs one by one, so I got to see a few of the launch titles like Super Mario Advance, Dodgeball Advance, and Tony Hawk 2. Finally, around the end of the summer, I was almost there like 90 something dollars and Target dropped the price to $90 for a weekend. My Dad and I went right out and got one. We agreed at the beginning of the summer that he'd cover the game so I got Mario Kart Super Circuit! It was either right at the game's launch or pretty close to it so it felt extra special to me. My friends and I spent the next few weeks doing that 4 way link cable thing where you can play off one cartridge and had a lot of fun. I don't even know where that GBA is now but I'll always remember that summer.

How can I thumbs up twice for rob episodes

what a great friendship. Makes me wanna reach out to my old friends and reconnect.

2 years ago I went to a garage sale and I found Power Stone 2 for $.25! Best deal for a rare video game of my life. I will always remember that moment!

I was only 10 at the time, but 1999 was one of of my all-time favorite summers too. Just so many good memories. Like becoming hardcore obsessed with Pokemon, lol. Good times

1999 was the best year. For games and movies. Thanks again for a great episode Rob and Johnny.

Star wars episode one was everywhere. Advertised on pop cans, cereal boxes, billboards, toys, candy, you couldn't not get hyped.

Love hearing you reminisce about specific periods in the past. The late 90s were a very nostalgic time for me as well!

1999 was one of the best years in my life aswell, I got goosebumps when you mentioned the Phantom Menace build up, it's all coming back. Great video guys!

Man, i love watching you guys. The chemistry is so good and you guys always manage to take me back to the good old days :)!

Johnny, Rob : LEGENDS, one of the greatest episodes yet!! 🎸 🎸

Dreamcast is my all time favourite console! SO many amazing memories with that console and amazing games; Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Soul Calibur, Power Stone, Shenmue, Soul Reaver, Crazy Taxi, Ikaruga just to name a few. Those jackets are amazing!! I must have one! 😃 😃

So much passion and nostalgia I can relate to come through on these videos.

Two episodes with Rob so close together? We must have been very good boys and girls!

This gave me so muuuuuuuuuch joy, youhave no idea, John and Rob.

I swear I can listen to you and rob talk about old memories forever. Yeah that was a great summer for sure. I remember the hype for episode 1 at that time was nuts.

4:46 "Blue Stinger", good game; I actually live-streamed that on the day the game takes place: Christmas Eve 2018. Back in 1999, 2018 seemed so far away.

I want a let's play from you guys playing Blue Stinger - this looks hilarious!

Aside from all the great memories I have of the Dreamcast I can also remember the pure feeling of excitement waiting for 9/9/99 and the devastating feeling of selling 1500 USD worth of Dreamcast games to a second hand game store for 50 dollars after my Dreamcast died and long after it was discontinued. To this day I wish I never sold them but I still have the memories at least.

I'm about the same age as you guys. I love hearing your nostalgic gaming stories! It brings back so many great memories for me! Keep it up guys!

The true friendship between you guys is so amazing and the stories of that summer become that much more engaging and emotional - I love this episode of your show.

Story time with Robman? Yes please!!

Man i loved R4 and ace combat that year! I was 19. amazing memories. I still listen to the R4 soundtrack.

I can't believe I'm only watching this now what the hell! KZfaq alerts has failed me 😭. I can't believe you and Rob Man actually lined up to go get Star Wars toys that is so awesome!!!! Would have loved to be there with you guys 😍

Because you guys live close by, but are like 12 years older than me, it's really nice to hear stories like these. I worked for Hudson Bay Company's Home Outfitters before they closed down everywhere. During my time there the owner was replaced by an American fella who wanted to replace all the Zellers with Target which they did. But then they got rid of the Targets as they weren't meeting their financial target. I miss the mess that was Zellers! Great stuff.

99 is my favorite gaming summer, too. That was right after I graduated high school! Great times.

Haha always happy to see these guys talk about their good times.

I imported the Dreamcast as well. Such an amazing time. It was the first console where the console version of arcade games surpased the arcade.

The late 90’s were amazing for Gaming. So many incredible games and the Dreamcast is still my favourite console ever and I’m lucky enough to still have my original console ☺️

Thinking of Rogers Videos brings a tear to my eye. Used to get $10 a week to mow the lawn. Every 2 weeks I went there with $20 as bought 2 previously viewed $9.99 DVDs for $14.99 and spent the rest on treats. Some of my most watched DVDs.

The way you put your hands on Rob throughout the video makes me all warm inside. Such a subconscious way of showing how much his friendship means to you. Love these videos!

One of my favorite “story time” videos you’ve done recently. Thank you for sharing John and Rob! You guys are part of my Sunday routine :)

1999 was the last great year of my life. Everything fell apart after that and I’m just now, at 52, picking up the pieces and hitting restart. And it was an incredible year for video games…and movies and television.

Love you so much guys seeing you both so happy, laughing while remembering the olds times and sharing these stories is so soothing. You are really cool people and your friendship is something we all appreciate and can relate to. Saludos desde Ecuador al Feliz Jugador de Consolas y a El Robombre 🔥🤘🏻🔥

Yes that ridge race has some of the coolest and soothing soundtracks of all time!!

Glad I am not the only one who loved Blue Stinger at launch lol!

summer of 2011 when i just graduated high school. Can't believe it has been 10 yrs already. I feel very old....

Dude..I'll never forget seeing a dreamcast in a kiosk before it came out. I was also on a family vacation and it blew my mind. I felt like I glimpsed into the future.. and it was glorious. The shock of PS1 to Dreamcast can't be overstated. And that sega arcade magic was on FULL display. Just couldn't believe I could actually own these games.. and they looked THIS good.

This was a great episode, I love hearing you guy’s stories. Thanks for sharing

We are so lucky to have such good gaming memories !!! These stories always put a smile on my face 😉

Lmao the part where he talks about the goth guy with the two girls had me cracking up. Made my Sunday morning thanks guys !

Wonderful Episode, thank you guys seriously.

Love this structure of “memories” episodes! They’re awesome.

I feel like the hype around The Phantom Menace is something that younger people will literally never understand. The perfect blend of grassroots hype and media marketing. It was insane and we'll never see anything like it

And that is why I can never truly hate on the Phantom Menace. The buildup for that movie that summer was insane and can’t ever be duplicated. It was awesome.

Thank you both for sharing your memories on youtube. This made me so nostalgic. You both do a fantastic job of painting a picture of this period of your lives. I would absolutely watch more videos like these!

These are the videos at the core of this channel that I love. Keep it up!

I wish I had gamer friends like Johnny growing up in the 90's.

I absolutely love your videos like this! I love listening to your nostalgic memories!

Thanks for sharing youre stories the passion you two have for gaming is so infectious and engaging.

Great episode I feel like I vicariously lived thru due to your combine enthusiasm and details one of the best episodes on this channel

Such heart warming content. You guys are awesome, friendship is golden! More years to come!

Such a great friendship you two have, and thanks for sharing this, its always great to hear these stories ;)

Thanks for sharing all these stories, it takes me back to those amazing days I had myself. Awesome vid ❤️👍

Damn guys that's a good year! Great to hear you and Rob talking about it. Made my day a bit brighter! Thanks as always.

Great video, thanks. Brings back some good memories.

I love you guys!! I wish I had friends I could talk to exactly like this!

Man Johnny and Rob making me go back in time I was 20 at the time, and remember meeting this Vietnamese college student who sold bootleg Dreamcast games at the mall that came on CD-R disc. He was Emo and wore a trench coat and met you in the food court....LOL

Your stories videos keep me going guys. There's a real magic when you do these. Makes the world ok again for a few minutes

I absolutely love watching your videos. The enthusiasm and nostalgia is genuinely heart warming. I love gaming and you guys make me feel so happy that it's my hobby of choice.

I watch the channel all the time! You got me into my 1st JRPG because you love them so much thanks for making content!

"I will fight you in the street!" That's gold XD

I love you guys, I can’t get enough of these videos

I found your channel about a year and a half ago as lockdowns were hitting. Have enjoyed every vid. Thanks for the positivity and wholesomeness during these times. Keep it up!

These nostalgia videos make me so happy!

I don't know why but I love listening to these stories, for hours on end even. Thank you Johnny and Rob

dude, awesome! i love these memories videos!!

I really need over this format so much. The podcast style conversations and gaming stories of the past. So fun to watch you guys remember and bring up things. No one else is doing this please keep it going. Thank you for doing what you do. Much appreciated.

Absolute favorite gaming channel. This much love and passion deserves all the love and passion it receives and more

This is so wholesome and nostalgic.

This kind of episode is where you guys shine. Thank you so much for the memories. Seriously! Thank you! What a great episode. I wish I could sit down with you guys and reminisce about the 90’s and early 2000’s. We would definitely have been friends.

These are some of my favorite episodes of yours, where you and Rob are having a blast while reminiscing about cool memories from the past. Something about the energy and the passion that you two have that just can't be faked or done anywhere else. Love it!

Great video, guys. One ofvthe best you've made in ages. The videos where you two passionately reminisce about your favourite memories are always my favourites. 1999 was a great year! Fight Club and The Matrix are still two of my favourite movies, and Quake III Arena still a game I play from time to time.

You guys had a blast as kids and continue to carry forward that same joy in adulthood. I want to experience the same excitement and joy.

Outstanding episode! Love the call backs to all those epic things happening back then. These are my favorite kind of episodes and it wouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings to go on longer and throw in the reviews of those games into it. Hoping all goes well for Rob and his injury and hopefully this week maybe getting a review on Skyward Sword?!?! Please and thanks!! You guys rock and this by far my favorite channel on KZfaq and I always look forward to Sundays because of it.

Love the videos and listening to the great video game memories 😁👍

Summer of 1997 for me and my friend Nathan. Had a Sega Saturn and was late to the party, picked up Dragon Force, Albert Odyssey, Fighters MegaMix and Street Fighter Alpha 2. Played the hell out of all those and then early September went into EB games and they had broke the release date for Final Fantasy VII. I did not have a Playstation at the time, but I left that day with one and a copy of Final Fantasy VII. For me it wasn't just that summer, (I was 17 at the time so younger than you guys) most of that year was epic. Finished the year playing Suikoden on Playstation and Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

Yeah, sometimes I open up my old gaming magazines from the late 90's early 2000's and that nostalgia just hits strong. Those were good times.

Happy Sunday everyone! Who's playing Skyward Sword and loving it? Thank for sharing the great stories John man and Mega man, you guys are awesome

I have just always loved this channel. I love your stories. They make me feel nostalgic. I can put myself in your shoes and then it makes me think of my own memories. That’s effective storytelling! Everything on this channel is just so upbeat and authentic. You don’t chase the news or dwell on the bad. You just focus on the best parts of gaming!

Thank you both for doing this. It's always a joy to see you reliving stuff and your enthusiasm is infectious. For me It'd probably be the summer of 1997. I was big into Quake. GLQuake and QuakeWorld were out, and Team Fortress was out. I'll never forget those matches over dial-up. So awesome.

Great episode guys, love you!

Great Episode guys!

As soon as I saw the title, I smiled and knew exactly what you guys would be talking about. The first video I ever watched was your THE DREAMCAST ROCKS video 10 years ago back when I was looking up reviews to justify buying a Dreamcast. You guys talking about Sonic Adventure and Power Stone entertained me so much, it reminded me of myself and my best friends. Love this video and love you guys!
