For those wondering, the take where I get slapped was attempted nearly 20 times until I could do it without flinching too soon. If you're thinking that must've hurt, it was nothing compared to how painful it was for my wife to slap me against her desire. But she powered through it. That's what I call true love folks :)

I think the problem with the Saturn is all of the hardware blundering Sega did before it (32x, CD). If they went from Genesis to Saturn and really made it a destination for their developers (and marketed the crap out of it like they did the Dreamcast), they might still be making new consoles today.

A guy who went around beating up people who didn't play Sega saturn... I now know my destiny.

"In theory, friends still exist too." Retro Bird just has the funniest humor. I love this channel :)

The Saturn has some great hidden gems. The Nintendo 64 has some of my all time favourite games. But damn the Playstation 1 is just top tier with some of the best variety I've seen in a console.

I grew up with the PS1, my neighbor who I became great friends with had the N64. We would traded systems often enough and actually bought each other games that were actually for ourselves when we traded. My dad's step son (parents split when i was 1) had the Saturn so I got to play that every now and again with step bro. He eventually gave it to me as a birthday gift when we were mich older. One of my favorite gifts

This channel is underrated 😭Thank you for the videos. You got me back into retro gaming.

I really love the N64, and it's my favorite system due to Nostalgia, but wow does the Saturn really kick some butt! Been enjoying quite a few Saturn Games recently and it really is an underrated system.

I love how you never fail to always show Rokect knight in the back ground, even if you are not talking about it :P I only just bought a copy for myself, so I will finally be able to play it.

Amazing timing I just picked up a Saturn and the all-in-one cart which is let's face it is basically mandatory at this point.

The worst thing I can say about the Sega Saturn is that I haven't experienced it's library yet. I happened upon one and now I'm saving up for an ODE. I'll get to it some day.

Friday night, just finished playing some portrait of ruin, eating a cinnabun at 11:30 pm and watching a new retro bird video… life is good 😌

I love this channel. You managed to concisely cover all the main points in 13 minutes as well as the feelings about these consoles. For me I enjoyed the N64 the least, but always appreciated how they focused on 4 player gaming out of the box. It always looked like an advanced party machine. While I owned both Saturn and PS1, I loved the Saturn more because of its powerhouse 2D amd Japanese exclusives games (which were alot). During this era of gaming; I always found the 3d games to be rough and ugly looking, even at the time; with the exception of the all time greats. The PS1 3d games looked better than the competition, but even then it wasn't saying much and there were so much more 3d games than 2d on ps1 and N64. The Saturn excelled greatly in 2D games and for a time they did get good ports of the popular 3D games; which while not as good as the PS1 versions; they were much better than PS1 ports of 2D games (Resident Evil Saturn port was better than the PS1 Xmen vs Street Fighter port). If the Saturn didn't end sooner than the PS1 and had the same support in the US as it did in Japan; history might have ended up remembering it as being the better console and we may have been trying to get Sega Saturn 5s in 2021 instead of PS5s.

I think this video represents what i like best about your videos; it's really refreshing to hear a positive, moderating voice on KZfaq at all, especially in the video game community.

Just wanna say I love your content man. Your approach and attitude toward these subjects is a breath of fresh air. Keep it coming!

You make some epic content and as a true gamer who grew up in the 90's I agree with all of your points. It was an amazing time to be alive and I'm so grateful to have been there for it and still am here today!

I had all three of these systems! PSX had Parappa, Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy, etc.. N64 had Mario 64, Pilotwings, Goldeneye, etc... Saturn had Nights, Virtua Cop, Capcom fighters (plus perfect controller)... THEY'RE ALL GREAT! I liked my Saturn the most though.

I only recently found Mr Bird here and I just cant express how much I love finding a new face talking about the same old games Seriously I am loving catching up on all the content

I love your channel, mostly because you sound JUST like Will Forte but also because you have great talking points about everything!

I like the way you set up the shots showing the games and your controller - it's a creative way to show gameplay 👍

Having grown up with the NES and Genesis, the N64 was a revolution. It's multi-player approach to gaming made me realize that gaming is a social activty. After all those years of playing single-player games (or even two-player games played solo) in a dank, dark basement, the N64 taught me that gaming could bring people together rather than keep them apart.

Imagine if the 32X was never released, the Saturn was backwards compatible with Genesis games and they didn’t rush its release date. This war would’ve been VERY interesting and perhaps Sega would still be part of the war today.

I grew up with all three. Saturn was my favorite because of games like dragon force and shining the holy ark. Metal Gear was special to me and Star Fox 64 looked especially amazing to me at the time. I didn't notice segas struggles really since I couldn't ever really afford more than maybe 15 games a console in those days. I think this is the story for most kids. I never met anyone in those days with extensive collections like you see older gamers with these days. So It didn't really matter at the time that the other systems had more games as long as each had 20 really good games. Which I think is true of all three!

9:10 I love the way you express yourself with these cutaway scenes, you're so funny and talented! hahah You reminded me of the Genie from Aladdin, there lmao

I was waiting for this! Staring at my phone every 5 minutes, LITERALLY.

Thanks for your great videos. Got my first CRT after 20 years a few days ago btw.

amazing video man plz continue , i love retro

I’ve been binge watching your content since receiving some terrible news and this channel has been a wonderful distraction. Love the humor. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber.

I hear this all the time and I had the exact same experience, so it's mind boggling to me. I swear, absolutely EVERYONE had N64 when I was in middle school. EVERYONE. The kids I liked, the kids I didn't like, my neighbors, my cousins, my bullies, my crushes, the nerds, the preppy popular kids, the annoying kid down the street LOL.

INSTANT SUB. I love your delivery!

Excellent video bro!!

I had an N64 and a playstation, but never had a Saturn . My favorite console was playstation.

I enjoy the cadence of your voice. It feels like a combination of Scott the Woz and Will Forte, but not in any kind of derivative way. Very pleasing to listen to. Keep up the great content.

another retrobird gem! great video.

these discussion videos are honestly the best from your channel retrobird! have never had the $$ to play saturn before, couldnt even tell you what it looks like in the wild! my bro had the N64 which wowed me way more than the PS1, though i had to credit that console when i did get it a few years later for really getting me into RPGs in a huge way

Great video, entertaining as always my friend!

The Saturn was awesome, the N64 was awesome, and the Playstation was awesome. Hard to give just one compliment.

Another great enjoyable video. Ace. You remind me of the late great actor, Rene Auberjonois. 👍

Great video!

The Sega Saturn seems to be ahead of its times in terms of raw power but because of the way it's designed was a lot harder for people to program for, which is kind of funny because it had to do if it's dual CPU layout and nowadays pretty much everything is designed for multi-core processors.

Super funny review! Keep it up!

Not related to the video's question.. But I just realized how beautiful the gameplay shots really look in your videos! I wonder what TV are you using?

Are you related to Tosh.0?! lol jokes aside, great content friend! Gladly subbed!

Of all channels on KZfaq I have never found one who has spoken so many truths about gaming. I love your videos man. You make some great content. Keep it up!

The Saturn's US experience at the time was miserable, but coming into the library later with Japanese imports it's my favorite of the three (or however many you want to include in this generation since the 3DO and arguably the Jaguar and Dreamcast also fall into it). I've always had a thing for 2D games so it fits like a glove. The N64 is the one I had as a child but I find it's the one that holds up the worst. It definitely has the most unique identity of the three though. So many entirely unique games and I love several of them like Starfox 64, Majora's Mask, and Diddy Kong Racing quite dearly. The PS1 just has a much better balance though. While the Gamecube had a few genres it struggled with the N64 leaves you with merely one or two options if you want to play a SHMUP, RPG, or 2D platformer. On the whole though I'd say this generation and the one before it are the two gens where the three major console among the gen are all worth owning even if you're just a casual retro gamer. They all offer an experience that feels very distinct from the competition instead of just a different flavor, which often happens with at least two consoles in other generations. Like, if you own a 360 there's really not too much different about the PS3 outside of its handful of exclusives and vice versa. They feel like chocolate and vanilla ice cream instead of one side being ice cream and the other being pie.

For me personally my most favorite console from that generation is the saturn & my least favorite is the N64 because of the significant lack of Jrpgs & 2D fighting games on the console. Like everyone else I like the Nintendo/Rareware games on the console but I really enjoy the old school FPS on the console along with some awesome star wars games from Lucas Arts/ Factor 5.

I loved this generation so much. You could look at a game for a second and know which system it was on just by the visuals. All 3 had their own strengths and weaknesses which made for incredibly different games.

This video was very nice and fun. I like your facial expressions, they kill me everytime 🙂

Keep up the good work.

I was really fortunate as a child, I had an N64 and oddly/randomly a Sega Saturn as well. I say oddly because I didn't even ask for it or knew it existed when I got it, it was a truly random Christmas gift from my parents one year. At the same time, my step sister had a PS1 which she would bring over once in a while and we'd play multiplayer on Legend of Mana together, and I absolutely loved it. I remember really enjoying all three consoles, though I must say I think I favored the N64 just slightly over the Saturn- it had such classic IP's with truly revolutionary games that I just couldn't put down. Don't get me wrong, the Saturn was excellent as well, it came with Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA, which were all slam dunks in their own right and I played the heck out of.

The PS1 was king, even though I bought it and sold it without realizing it, and rediscovered it via the PS2. And Einhander was the reason I still own PS1 discs. RType Delta is another GOAT. Having said that, there was something magical about the Saturn. All those wicked shmups and 2D graphics. Still want one. Great show as usual. Had me in LOLz.

I think you’re right in your assessment of multiplayer capabilities on N64 vs. PS1. I was 18 when I had both N64 and PS1. I found myself playing single player games more on the PlayStation, and multiplayer games (such as Goldeneye and Mario Kart), more on the Nintendo 64. And overall, the Nintendo 64 just had a different vibe. As you’ve said, the PlayStation had more mature games, while the N64 had fun games that appealed to kids. The multiplayer strengths of the N64 may have also contributed to its lower sales. When you only need one console per four people…

Sunny Delight is my childhood, so funny to see you throw it in there

As a gamer I was happy that I was an adult when the PS1 came out! It was like playing video games for the 1st time all over again! With that said my roommate who is a SEGA fan for life didn't even know about the SATURN. Heck Saturn is my favorite planet & if I would have known about it I might have gotten one just because it was named, The Sega Saturn. My buddy did get a Dreamcast in 1998, but to this day I don't think I've played one game on the Saturn. Nights into Dreams is the only game that I played, but on a different console.

As a kid I played a lot of Saturn and sometimes N64&PS1 at my friends. Today I only play and collect for Saturn, mostly 2D Games. From a todays standpoint I feel the 2D Games have aged pretty well...same goes for the gameplay :) Anyway, the least console that I like is the N64.

When I was a kid, everyone I knew had an N64, I didn't even knew sony was a thing until the ps2, but at the time I didn't have cable or internet maybe that played a part in it. I often found out about games by seeing them in stores every couple of months.

I definitely relate to your Nintendo 64 story as well. Everyone I knew in my neighborhood had one. I wasn't really aware of the lack of games for the system because I was so busy buying, borrowing and trading game cartridges. I've no doubt that the PS1 and Saturn offered awesome solo gaming experiences but the N64 was a real party machine.

The SNES cultivated my love of JRPGs and then the N64 gave me... Quest 64. Ugh. Meanwhile I'd go over to the friend's house and he'd have Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana, Breath of Fire 3... the PS One was an RPG machine. I'd go home and grumble at my N64. Didn't get a PS1 until years later. I wish I knew more about the Saturn, it just totally flew under my radar!

The console I like the least of these three is easily the N64. However, I do love and appreciate it for its 4 player games.

have I mentioned how much I love your videos?

I was a big PS1 fan in the late 90's, and then I came home with a Goldeneye N64 console bundle and a £10 second hand Super Mario 64 cart and I was blown away.

Loved my N64 and didn’t hear about Saturn till after Dreamcast. Love the libraries of both consoles.

Me TOO!!!! my neighbor, my friends, everyone i basically knew all had a Nintendo 64 and that was the only console we had. I had a friend who's family had three Nintendo 64's all in separate rooms

And all 3 of these consoles love you. They told me so themselves.

I missed out on owning an N64, although played some Goldeneye with friends, but having plenty of the games come to Switch has more than filled that void for me. I have an Import Japanese Saturn, although I barely play it, so for me, the best is PSone, yes, the little one, with the attached LCD screen !!! it's so fun :-)

I played a little n64 when I was super young but my brother and I traded it in for a gamecube which is where my love for games really started, however three weeks ago I got an n64 a decent few games for it and man I adore this thing. Quickly moving up my list of best consoles.

Learning about the numbers as an adult surprised me. Most homes I visited had N64s, too.

Pro wrestlings popularity peaked between 96-2000, during that same period of time thq released 4 consecutive 4 player simaultaneous games based off first wcw, and then wwf all as n64 exclusives... that plus the turok games did so much for n64 that gets overlooked everytime people bring up the first party support and rare brand games. Not to mention the 3 or 4 star wars exclusives also. Plus, almost no loading time with cartridges.

As someone who had a decent N64 collection growing up...yeah, I can tell you that the system has way more than just the small handful of most notable games. There's a lot of good stuff on there. As for a favorite...well it would have to be between N64 and PS1 for me as I've never had or played a Saturn (never had any Sega consoles actually). But how can I choose between them? They're both so good!

Think you nailed it with the comment about it depending on your childhood. I didn’t have any (pc was my thing) but my friends had PS1 and N64 so they are the default. But I was sucked in to Saturn’s marketing and coveted it hard. If it wasn’t so expensive in UK it was the one I wanted at the time. Now I’ve got all 3 the main thing stopping every playing my Saturn (other than children to keep alive) is fear of burning out the laser. Also for what it’s worth, I think the n64 controller is awesome. It just worked so well for golden eye. Playing stuff on emulation today just doesn’t quite get that across

I’ve been playing 4 player on the N64 since I got my original one in 2002. (I was 5) I still get my brothers and childhood friends to come over and play Mario Kart and DK64 multiplayer every now and then. Nothing can top it for me!

In terms of graphics, processing-power, controller-versatility, and launch-dates, I'd say that the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation 1 are perfectly comparable for each other's advantages & disadvantages, as well as which third-party games can be mutually designed for both platforms properly! The Nintendo 64, on the other hand... also evolved technology with newly possible 3D Graphics for video-games (while being limited to using numerous 2D pixelated sprites), except in a significantly very different approaching way than the other two (aforementioned) consoles.

I‘ve just recently found your channel, so I’m exploring your older videos one by one. In my case, I don’t dislike any of these consoles. Personally, I never had a console as a kid. I desperately wanted a Super Nintendo, but my parents didn’t think so. When this generation of consoles came out, I was already a bit older, so I disliked the look and feel of the N64 which seemed to cater to smaller kids. But my neighbour did have one and we did play some games. Mostly Mario 64 which I did love. My best mate had a PS1 though and I totally loved it. I was completely on team Sony back then. We played at his home every day. I was of course aware of the Saturn, but I literally never handled one. Nobody had one. I did have sympathies for it as the underdog in the console war, but otherwise I didn’t have any opinion. Now looking back, my views have shifted somewhat. What made the PS1 great in my youthful eyes is now it’s biggest problem. The 3D graphics just didn’t age well at all. The N64 doesn’t look all that great either in hindsight, but the graphics have aged better. The N64‘s shading just holds up much better than the 3D-pixel-soup of the PS1. If I had to choose only one console of those three today, I’d probably still go with the PS1 though, but not for any of the games that I loved back in the day, rather for those overlooked gems. Overlooked by me anyway. Mostly 2D RPGs like Valkyrie Profile or Alundra but also a classic line Symphony of the night. Stuff that my younger self would have dismissed as relics of the past in this new 3D wonderland. #2 would be the Saturn for a similar reason, though in that case, I overlooked everything back then, so there‘d be a lot to discover. Though I’d also probably stick mostly to 2D games. As much as people love stuff like Panzer Dragoon, I’m not sure I could get into it, given it’s early 3D look. But I might give it a try at some point. While the N64 comes last on this list, that doesn’t mean that I don’t like it. As I said, it held up better than the other two. But there really isn’t much I’d want to play on it. Yes, Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 are still awesome games. But Nintendo has perfected both games since. There’s no reason to choose Mario Kart 64 over Mario Kart 8 or Super Mario 64 over Super Mario Galaxy. Only the two Zelda games would be games that I‘d jump in again enthusiastically. And while the four games mentioned here are probably better than the top four games of either of the other two consoles, it’s just not enough for me to pick the N64 above the others…and then there is the controller…

It's really one of the most difficult match ups I can think of. I grew up with an N64 and my all time favorite games are on it. Nintendo's franchises were on fire and they had way more successes with transitioning to 3d than misfires. I also got a PS1 a bit later and the sheer volume and variety on there is staggering. You can be playing the ps1 for two decades and still run into games you didn't know it had. RPGs aren't always my thing but its hard to argue with how many top of the line ones the PS1 had. I got into the Saturn very recently by comparison and it's missing a lot of the franchise/marquee level stuff of the others on the surface, but digging deep and trying games out has yielded some of the most fun gaming I've had in years, to the point that it could be my new favorite. The Saturn 3D Controller is the best out of the 5 or so controllers available across all 3 platforms imo.

One year my parents house got randomly toilet papered during the homecoming of the school district they live in. They also live in the middle nowhere in that district. Hahahah they never found out who did it. I think it's awesome. I was like 22, and my parents had zero connection to the schools. Hahahah loved it.

What tv is that? The footage looks really good.

your fucking gurning to the camera in the asides is great dude lmao😂

I have to admit that up until a few years ago, I had no idea the Saturn was a then-competitor to the N64 and ps1. I had heard the name at the time but always assumed it was somewhere in between the 16 bit and 32 bit era.

As an RPG fan, all 3 consoles are amazing: N64 has Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 (timeless titles), Ogre Battle 64 and Custom Robo. PS1 has Digimon World 1 & 3 (also timeless titles), Legend of Mana and YuGiOh Forbidden Memories. Saturn only has Panzer Dragoon saga, but said title is a masterpiece (eagerly waiting for a remake).

I had all 3 consoles back in the day, and they all had great games but I played my PlayStation the most. The variety was just insane. Lightgun shooters with the GunCon, many many racing games like Ridge Racer, Wipeout, Rally de Africa, Gran Turismo etc. Platform games, RPGs, shoot em ups. And sports games like NFL Blitz, International Track and Field, FIFA 2000, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater etc. Favorite games for each: Guardian Heroes (Saturn) GoldenEye (N64) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (PS1)

I’ll just say something I like about all the consoles. Saturn: While I don’t even have a Saturn, I do appreciate how it did a lot of impressive looking 2D games despite 3D being the hot stuff at the time. Astal in particular looks beautiful and I hope I get to play it some day. PS1: I like how it basically standardized modern controller design. Kinda. Prongs for the bottom, two shoulder buttons on each side, and later, two analog sticks. Not that there haven’t been great advancements in controllers since, but it definitely lead the pack. N64: I like the sense of experimentation Nintendo had with this console. Of course standardizing analog sticks, but also it’s emphasis on multiplayer and certain peripherals. Especially the GameBoy Pak. It feels especially novel to use that with Pokémon Stadium and Mario Tennis. I didn’t grow up with this console, but using those features felt exciting and like a whole new world to me when I did experience them.

I grew up on and adore the N64. My experience with PS1 and Saturn is almost zero. I'd love to experience both of them, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with PlayStation. As much as the Saturn intrigues me, I'm just not into fighting games or shooters so not sure what I'd be in for otherwise.

Final Fantasy VII was basically one of the reasons I wanted a Playstation in the first place. Also one of the commercials is how I knew about the Franchise at the time. My only clue of what Final Fantasy is like was in Super Mario RPG with a Boss called Culex which has the FFIV Boss Theme and the first time ever hearing the trademark Victory Fanfare. At the time I had to choose between the original Playstation and Nintendo 64. If I chose Nintendo 64, I would have played Super Mario 64, but if I chose Playstation, I would have played Final Fantasy VII. In the end, me and my brothers went with Playstation. Because of that, I've been a Fan of Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Tekken, Ehrgeiz, Bushido Blade and Alone In The Dark. Also Symphony Of The Night is how I know about the Castlevania Series. I have that Version of Resident Evil 2 since the beginning. (8:00) And when I first saw the Nintendo 64 Controller, I was confused why it had three Hand Grips at the time. The Gamecube Controller Design was a step up compared to Nintendo 64's.

5:18 Normal people: 😭 Me, an introvert: 🤣

I grew up with the Phillips G7000, then ZX Spectrum followed by the Commodore Amiga and can confirm the n64 was played by people who didn’t grow up with it. Four player Mario kart and goldeneye were fantastic when my friends were round after the pub.

I just got done beating guardian heroes for the first time yesterday. man what a great game from the Saturn. but I will say watching this video just makes me want to play all the games from these systems

I own all 3, I had them growing up but being on a low income family, I had to sell a console to get the new one so I don't have any of my original consoles from then, but thanks to eBay and retro gaming stores, I was able to get them at the same time, now to get a decent library of expensive games on eBay.

This my friends … to me …is the golden age of gaming … a perfect balance of harmony with video games …

Here is the thing, I had a PSX, I bought cause there were some games I wanted to play on it, then I saw some of the games that were being promoted for the 64, like Mario 64, Mario Kart, Castlevania and Zelda, so I was like oh i need to get a 64 too to play those games, and the there is the Saturn, there werent really games that were heavily promoted that made me say, oh i wanna get that, unlike the Genesis where I saw Sonic, Streets of Rage, Splatterhouse, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Mickey Mouse, Blaster Master, that made get a Sega Genesis. I mean Saturn had good games, but they were also available for the PSX, so there was no need for me to get one. I mean, I mean they should've had a strong Sonic game at launch, and some new games of the other games I mentioned that were popular here in the U.S. the only one was Shinobi which looked awesome.

N64 Controller is just a 6 button SNES controller with an analogue stick and trigger attatchment, which makes how they developed for it a shame, but it's still pretty cool.

What I loved about the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th (burn in Hell 8th) is how different the hardware is from each other. The 9th isn't bad so far with tons of new stuff coming out but I digress... I am a huge Sega Saturn and PlayStation fan. I picked up both machines the day the PSX dropped on September 9, 1995. I got an N64 sometime in 1996 and it was okay...I didn't really start to like it until Golden Eye and Perfect Dark came out. By the time Perfect Dark became a thing I'm pretty sure I had a Dreamcast. At any rate, you could say I grew up with all three but the N65 was my least favorite. Most of my friends had PlayStations and I went to a huge high school in Miami.

This is my favorite generation of gaming. It really feels like the last time that all 3 consoles were truly unique and appealing to different markets- the Saturn continuing the old guard 2D and arcade-style action but on steroids, the PS1 providing more narrative-driven single player experiences with a lot of pre-rendered backgrounds, and the N64 providing the multiplayer focused, cutting edge fully 3D games. Ever since the 6th gen, all the systems have been very good, but they all provide fundamentally the same types of games and experiences.

Such fond memories of getting the PS1 when I was 5 in the 90's. Then around 2005 exchanging some pokémon cards for a Sega Saturn. But this day I still want to own a Nintendo 64 and I will get one I hope ! (Just bought an RTX 3070 but still want the 64)

64 and Playstation for me growing up but just watching ppl play some of these great Saturn titles like that fighter you displayed, wow 😲😃👍 That really makes me want to start collecting for Saturn 🪐

Wow, you really avoided a can of worms on this one! Also, for a guy who doesn't care much for RPGs, you appear to own quite a few, lol.

I got N64 at launch, rented playstation at launch and years later ended up trading my virtual boy for my friends second PS1 (lucky I know) but only got into Saturn games in the past 10 years or so. I find myself playing more Saturn games than the others at this point but Mario 64, OoT and symphony of night are mainstays in my rotation. All three systems are gems really!

In my neighborhood between Cleveland and Akron, we had an unusually high concentration of Saturn fans I knew like four other people who had Saturns. And most of us waited for the Dreamcast. Our idea of a party games was Bomberman, Decathlete, vs fighters and co-op light gun shooters. Before, one of us had a six player tap, another one of us had another six player tap and all of us had a joystick or two to bring over to get together for eight player Bomberman. What became the dark time for most was acquire time for me. I was picking up Saturn controllers and games left and right for like five bucks or less some as cheap as a dollar and that was back between 1997 and 2002. By the time I moved out of that neighborhood in 2001 I had enough equipment just to bring myself and the whole crew would be Bomberman-ready. But then again I was collecting ColecoVision games in 1994 so call me ahead of the curve. Luckily for me everything was so cheap that it made me into a 2600 fan and an intellivision fan and a Bally Astrocade fan, an Odyssey 2 fan, a 5200 fan, a 7800 fan, a Master System fan, and a World Trade Federation is this system called an Emerson Arcadia 2001?!? fan. And I had a good 15 years before Macklemore's hit song Thrift Shop made going to the thrift shop cool and people discovering that that was a good place for retro video games where suddenly as it hit number one the thrift stores dried up of video games. And by the time the used game market recovered from that we had covid-19.

Hey man! I was wondering if you could possibly tell me or make a video about shelving for your collection. Surprisingly I’m having tons of trouble trying to find good shelving for this stuff! Your shelves look really nice, so I figured I’d ask considering yours have so much space and what not.

Tbh I love all three. Saturn is my favorite for Panzer Dragoon. PS1 has more games, but none quite that special. And N64 being my least favorite of the three was still great for the multiplayer and Ocarina of Time. Such a good time for games.
