PlayLoad has been the only way I know when it's the 1st of each month since the pandemic lol. Thank you Adam. Really looking forward to the Ninten-Drawer video you'll be doing. That is definitely something I need since I missed out on the Blinking Light Win item. Thanks again.

Thats wild about the gamecube game with the ps2 case. Nice bit of trivia there

A few bits on the GX4000. It wasn't a UK exclusive, It also came out in France. Amstrad where quite popular in France at the time. The Console had its launch in Paris. Barbarian is a one on one Fighter, not a Golden Axe clone, the first game pre dates Golden Axe (It's more of a Conan the Barbarian rip than anything else). Operation Thunderbolt is the Sequel to Operation Wolf. Its a light gun game made by Tatio.

Asterix and Obelix is mega popular in Poland. Very influential on our pop culture actually. The live action movies and the cartoons play on tv pretty much every weekend morning haha

I think Amstrad & Ocean had a contract or deal for GX4000 games. Ocean mostly transferred their disk/cassette games to GX4000 Cartridges to quickly build a library for Amstrad. The likes of Batman are almost identical to the £3.99 cassette version but with no load times at £24.99! Oceans RoboCop 2 however is a GX4000 exclusive. Barbarian II is a maze game with combat where as Barbarian 1 is a 1v1 sword fighter.

I thought I knew the CD32 library pretty well and then you pull out the Assassins 2 disc. Basically one of the many random shareware compilation discs compatible with the CD32 and other Amiga machines. Good grabs in the big box stuff, not easy to come by anymore.

Burning Rubber on the GX4000 is actually a great game. Was also available of the CPC 464. Commodore also made a console only version of the Commodore 64 called the C64GS.. To my shame I sold mine about 15 years ago for quite a lot of money. They are stupid money now!! livid. hope you enjoyed Wales

Awesome stuff buddy. Operation Thunderbolt is the sequel to Operation Wolf "If you ever played that lol"

@23:52: I have fond memories of playing James Pond 2: Codename Robocod during the holidays! Got it randomly for Christmas one year for the Sega Genesis, and later picked up a copy of the DS version. It's a tough, but fun little Christmas themed platformer. It was in the yearly rotation with Christmas Nights.

That's one rare GameCube game and that's from someone who not just in the UK but worked in many video games stores and superstores wow

Ya, I have that GCLoader. I got the revised one that doesn't require soldering. I'm not tech savvy when it comes to modding electronics, but it wasn't too difficult to install. Just be mindful that you need to remember to use the small screws it comes with. Its a fine device so long as you don't mind removing the disc laser. You can even play the Gameboy Player without the disc (weather you have an ISO of the Player, or the modern software of which I can't think of off the top of my head)

Asterix was a big thing in the seventies in the UK. The comic books were very popular and all translated in a British humour style. But less so in subsequent generations.

some cool pickups! I haven't played operation thunderbolt but I do believe it's in the 'operation wolf' series of games.

Funny you got Ocean games for the GX4000 and the Amiga CD32, I guess they loved making games for obscure consoles 😂

I believe Commodore were one of the big three back then in the 80s and 90s, right by Apple and IBM.

Operation Thunderbolt was a light gun arcade game by Taito. It’s the sequel to Operation Wolf.

I remember when the CD32 came out, it was pushed Hard in the UK with tv and magazine articles. I had a friend who had one and used it a couple of times. James pond was a popular franchise for the Amiga systems ( it came out on the Megadrive to I think) and pretty good fun 😊.

FIGURE IT OUT!!!!!!!!!! I love the playload episodes!! :) Pickups videos are the BEST! Hope you're doing well, Adam! :)

Hey Adam, thanks for showing the Ninten-drawer! Excited for you to get a chance to use it 🙌🙌🙌

These pickup videos are always entertaining to watch

There is a vídeo from Moderna Vintage Gaming that explains how Datel bypassed the GameCube security system. Also, nice to hear you are almost done with the european gamecube exclusives, good stuff!

I'm grateful to you for showing me your VIDEOS you are a very honest person all of the time

Good luck on that last PAL GameCube game Adam. I look forward to discovering what it is

hey adam awesome pickups video

Asterix comics is huge in Alaska maybe because were so close to Canada? Just this past Christmas i got Asterix newest graphic novel: Asterix & the White Iris. Anyway, i do collect Asterix video games too & i do not have Asterix & Obelix on the Game Cube!?! So in the near future i will have to "figure it out" on how to get my hands on one! Ha-Ha! Now your pick ups in May, well at least some of it will be my pick ups in June!

Yeah. Datel took physical parts of retail discs into their releases. Most of their PS2 releases use wobble grooves from Crazy Taxi and Wild Wild Racing. (which were the cheapest games at the time)

Nice pick ups from the uk and i hope you enjoyed your visit to the uk.

The Asterix animated and live action movies seem to be quite unknown in the English-speaking world, but are even the graphic novels not popular in the US? That Asterix and Obelix XXL cover art goes hard btw

Wait, are Americans unfamiliar with snooker? Come to think of it, I can’t recall a single reference to it in a TV show or movie…

Love the tshirt

Wow! What a nice stack of CD32 games! That copy of Roadkill looks very interesting. Unless I am mistaken, I believe that is a vehicular combat game. The PS2, XBOX, and GameCube all got a release by the same name but the cover art seems to indicate the possibility that they are not related to the CD32 version.

Nintendrawer sounds amazing. Blinking light win ended being a bust for me in the long run… worked great for awhile, then not sure what happened. I eventually got an RGB modded top loader and called it a day, but I really would prefer a reliable OG NES.

Asterix was definitely big in the UK. Still have all my Asterix books from back in the day 😃👌

You always have cool video game pick-ups 👍

I have these GX 4000 games too. Plus some more. About ten I guess? Barbarian 2 is one I bought recently too. The first Barbarian on Commodore 64 is fantastic, but the sequel isn't too hot. Cool to get these cd32 games. They are hard to find here in The Netherlands. I have a few of these.

Just watch out using the GX4000. The PSU can blow the console. Don’t know the full details but look into it. Great video Adam.

Wanna see something real impressive, Asterix and Obelix XXL on the GBA looks like a low res PS1 game. Fully 3D and respectable frame rate too. Definitely worth checking out if you like 3D platformers and the Gameboy Advance.

Hey Adam, Just out of curiosity, have you heard of the Evercade handheld and tv console out of the UK? A small, but mighty system since 2020 and has just sold 1 million cartridges. I've been loving all the retro and inde releases they have been putting out and getting ready for there Tomb Raider release this July.

If any companies are reading this, provide this man a lav mic for the purposes of review

Clip on mic(wireless) would solve both issues for you Adam

Super skidmarks. The developers were probably drunk when they approved this title

I was almost afraid that your better half was getting in the way of your hoarding but I am glad to see that you aren't letting me down hahaha.

Hey Adam seems your back in the uk, you need to go to Swansea Wales there's a really good although tiny game store in the indoor market here he has a really good selection of stuff and does not sell online. his master system selection is very good

commodore also released the cd-tv, it was not just the cd-32 for consoles.

good compromise on the mic setup

my guess for the missing gamecube game is Taxi 3, great movie series btw :P

Downgraded my phone to a "t-mobile" phone, like one of their branded phones and was delighted that it was old-timey and had a headphone jack and sd card slot. Put in a 1TB card that I had previously in my switch but upgraded that one to a 1.5TB sd card. But that ssd device would be a better choice to move files from your phone to your pc 🤔 Much quicker than an sd card

14:20 The total set price rises.

My PS2 is region unlocked and have no issues with the Japan Imports I have but with the 3 English Imports (Conan, Xyanide Resurrection, and He-Man) the screen keeps flipping upwards rendering them unplayable on my CRT. Wonder if he has the same issue? Operation Thunderbolt is the sequel to Operation Wolf which was in all the arcades when I was a kid. Might suck without the gun like the NES version did. Apparently Thunderbolt released on SNES also.

Hope there is a way to use a mouse on the CD32! It's been a while since I've played it, but Worms Armageddon on the DC was a kind of a PITA to play with the controller, after playing it on PC.

James Pond 2: Robocod... incredible

Pretty cool stuff here Adam! ironically I just started looking into the Amiga 32 CD 💿 a few hidden gems maybe in the systems lineup. Also the barbarian game… there is a switch game called “tiny Barbarian” not sure if it’s based off the same game or not. I know the switch had a few remake physical copy games in the early line up if the system. Seems the Amiga CD was mainly a UK thing (that’s the vibe I get). Was any of the Amiga stuff expensive over there? A buddy of mine is over there now maybe (if not expensive) he can grab me a few things lol $$$ pending of course

Humans cover art looks like the Caveman Games NES art.

I REMEMBER TO THIS DAY WHEN MY FRIEND GOT A BRAND NEW AMIGA CD 32 FROM HIS AUNT IN SWEDEN, GOT ALIEN BREAD AND SOME OTHER GAMES IT WAS AND IT WAS GREAT UNTIL IT WASN'T 😂 BASICALLY THE CD READER WAS DONE LIKE IN 6 MONTHS JUST GAVE OUT

As a Brit, LOVEEEEEEE Asterix, and Obelix ❤

Only game i bought last month was "Shinchan: Shiro and the Coal Town" for Nintendo Switch.

Cool pickups. Max Play gonna quadruple in price now. Haha.

Ever considered owning an analogue pocket? Its great!

you fighting hard bro

hey! I remember James pond!

An argument could be made that the Jaguar was technically British. Will I make it? No. But I could!

Isn't the Evercade handheld and console,made by a company in the UK

PAL Doshin the Giant for GC is my grail when I’m game hunting in Europe. It’s the only one I need. I’ve never seen it in person. The closest I’ve ever been to it is a CEX had it 2 hours from where I was.

Where can I get a good hdmi splitter that won’t introduce lag or degrade the image quality?

lapel mic?

I ALWAYS get so jealous, That you collect video games.... It is something that i would absolutely loved to do... But sadly, the only reason why i havent.. Is because im a PC gamer, and cannot use a controller, to save my life 😂

The only Amiga Cd32 game I want is battletoads but that's a expensive game

Isn’t Evercade a British company? The VS is a console.

Astérix : there is a very good arcade game, a btu made by Konami in 1992. That's the better game. The Astérix game on Master System is also ok (made by Sega). I'm not sure about subséquent games.

Max Play also on PS2

Great video. Most of the games you were describing as 'European exclusive' were also released in Australia. I own a sealed and opened copy of Max Play. Absolute trash games.

Evercade

Assassins. oh no. That will be a collection of some quite random PD (public domain) games of varying dubious quality. At most you will get a laugh from some of them and others just pain and failure of logic.

you're right nobody in the uk likes Astérix and Obélix
