welcome everyone adam the woo here
0:02
today's adventure
0:04
will be a quest of sorts to find
0:08
an original mid-80s nes
0:13
video game system not the one that came
0:16
out a few years ago that has the
0:19
pre-loaded games i'm talking about the
0:22
one from 85 that has the cartridges that
0:24
you put in that you would
0:25
blow on which i don't really know if
0:27
that really makes a difference
0:28
whatsoever
0:30
that is a part of my youth that i would
0:32
like
0:33
to relive as i get a little bit older
0:36
something i've been wanting to purchase
0:38
repurchase
0:40
for quite some time now and i'm on a
0:42
mission i'm on a
0:43
hunt if you will to find one i'm
0:46
inviting
0:47
you to join me
0:50
shall you now this will be a little bit
0:53
of a work in progress
0:55
next to my desk in the office i'm going
0:57
to utilize this chair
0:59
and just kind of shift it over to where
1:00
i'm going to set up the
1:02
game room section of this area
1:05
also we'll be on the lookout for a tv
1:08
stand
1:09
to put against this wall here in this
1:11
corner
1:12
so i can sit right there place the
1:15
console
1:16
games as i purchase them over time and a
1:19
television from that time period
1:22
the big boxy style ones
1:25
right there against that wall that's
1:28
what i'm thinking anyway there's a
1:29
plug-in so
1:30
that'll work and if it works out
1:32
accordingly it'll be good because i've
1:33
been looking for something to put right
1:35
here
1:36
in this spot just gotta go find
1:38
everything first
1:40
heading up to ontario now big the foot
1:43
oh no no no not canada it's a
1:47
it's a it's a suburb of greater l.a
1:51
arrive now at the pixel vault
1:54
and just below the signage is the word
1:56
i'm looking for
2:04
no not the breakfast cereal that this
2:04
but you might be thinking that was the
2:07
cadence yes there was a nintendo
2:09
breakfast cereal
2:14
maybe i could find that it probably
2:14
wouldn't taste too good i could find
2:15
that
2:17
and eat while i'm playing games i don't
2:19
know i might end up not feeling well
2:20
afterwards check out the vehicle
2:24
out front
2:30
ontario california the pixel vault
2:30
games and more now there might be a
2:32
point when i get into
2:33
other systems but for now sticking with
2:36
the nes
2:37
this is located at 231 west halt
2:39
boulevard
2:41
suite a
2:46
in ontario you know you've come to the
2:46
right place when there is is that johnny
2:48
5 up there
2:49
uh yeah it's a mock-up of johnny five
2:52
how long have you been in this spot how
2:53
long have you been open for business
2:55
well i've been here for about a little
2:56
bit over a year
2:58
and i've been in business for about six
3:00
i do see a metroid right here it's the
3:02
fourth one down on this level
3:04
gotta go with the classic mario duck
3:06
hunt did they ever make the super mario
3:07
without duck hunt included on there or
3:09
was it always the
3:10
no they did they actually made them
3:13
separate
3:14
really and there was
3:18
a regular mario before super mario right
3:20
it was just called
3:21
mario brothers you could get them but
3:23
see in 85 when i got my first set it was
3:25
they were combined that was like part of
3:27
the the package deal
3:28
you want to see how i used to look back
3:29
in the day yeah
3:33
this was under my christmas tree a gift
3:36
from my parents to my sister and i
3:38
in 1985 which i think is when it was i
3:41
think the company started in 83
3:44
but 85 is when this is almost this is
3:47
like bringing back memories of christmas
3:49
day
3:50
a younger oh wow this is all still
3:53
still sealed up and ready to go it's
3:55
just been well taken care of
3:56
there's the double set and then of
3:59
course everybody would take this and
4:01
just stick it right up to the screen of
4:02
the tv that was kind of like a clever
4:04
hack
4:06
and then all the paperwork kind of a
4:08
little time capsule of how
4:10
things were back in the day
4:24
nintendo power you get all the secrets
4:24
remember the secrets brooke yes i do
4:26
i have some of them you have secrets or
4:29
nintendo powers
4:32
what is this it's a complete and box
4:35
nintendo nes
4:37
and it's in pretty well conditioned too
4:38
wow there's the robot right there
4:43
oh the power glove straight from the
4:47
wizard
4:49
yes oh wow someone's like adoring this
4:51
one with all the stickers there that is
4:53
that's got some memories the power glove
4:57
it's so bad what was the quote from the
5:00
wizard about the power glove
5:01
so bad it's so bad
5:04
yeah mr johnny five has a power glove on
5:08
right there
5:11
yeah i wouldn't even i didn't even
5:12
notice that at first
5:14
the power glove open the lid open the
5:17
lid
5:17
yeah and you'll see how i restore them
5:20
so that way you don't have to push the
5:21
game down anymore
5:22
they're all restored so that we don't
5:24
have to mess with the whole blowing and
5:25
doing
5:26
okay so i i don't even push that down
5:27
like you know really
5:29
yeah so you kind of just rigged it up
5:31
where it just stays in that same spot
5:32
yeah or you can push it down
5:33
so put that in and then it just works
5:35
straight from there exactly yeah so you
5:37
don't have to like push it down and
5:38
stick another one on top
5:39
and then yeah there you go or or put
5:42
them in the freezer how people used to
5:43
do
5:44
and these don't flash how they used to
5:48
so i restored with the blinking red
5:50
there yeah oh man the game boy i
5:52
remember that i never really played too
5:53
much but i did use the game boy a little
5:55
bit
5:56
simon's quest that was a good one and
5:58
mega man which i don't know if i ever
6:00
played the fifth one but i did really
6:01
get into the first few
6:03
mega mega man cartridges
6:06
okay so that switches on it turns out
6:09
here all right let's see what happens
6:10
oh there it goes okay it lights up you
6:12
got the cardboard
6:14
you got that you got the the date up
6:17
the time circuits right there
6:21
october 26th
6:26
nice i made that again the halloween
6:26
problem
6:34
so far i've got one two three four
6:34
oh wait no because i'm okay yeah i'm
6:36
getting this yeah oh yeah
6:38
so i'm getting the one cartridge got
6:40
metroid
6:43
rc proam and oh yeah up top there is a
6:47
mario
6:48
2 i believe mario 2. yeah so i'll get
6:50
the mario 2.
6:53
here you go oh you got another one down
6:59
so probably i'll probably hold off on
6:59
the disc system
7:02
if i don't have any floppies for that or
7:05
the what'd you say this was again uh
7:07
nintendo family
7:08
computer and this was in japan right
7:11
that was only for japan so
7:13
japan got this before we got the
7:16
oh so this would have been probably 83
7:18
maybe yes yeah and then 85 was
7:20
the us wow that's cool
7:24
and those were the cartridges there
7:31
you ever played this i have it's not my
7:31
thing
7:32
you know is that a noticeable difference
7:35
yeah the cartridges are a lot smaller
7:37
which they should have done for us the
7:39
cool thing about these is that fact that
7:40
you could top load the games as fact
7:43
how we use a push and make kind of like
7:45
a vcr yeah
7:46
that was a cool thing about it but for
7:48
me i like the traditional nintendo nes
7:50
for me it just looks
7:51
yeah like childhood so now they make an
7:54
nes now that's a top loader right and
7:56
they come out with one yes they do
7:58
yeah they have a nintendo top loader
7:59
which i have just only just a dog bone
8:01
controller for
8:02
but other than that yeah they they make
8:04
all kinds of newer consoles now too that
8:06
are clones and they have like the ones
8:08
with the emulators in it
8:09
yeah exactly yeah so this is the one
8:12
that you're getting at them
8:13
and it's all been cleaned and restored
8:16
and it's got my lifetime warranty as
8:17
long as i'm still alive
8:19
excellent thank you so much this is also
8:21
what i'm purchasing
8:22
so all this comes with it so it's your
8:24
connections there's a
8:26
av cable and then your standard uh
8:29
electrical and then it's got the antenna
8:31
cable which is
8:32
awesome the original antenna so
8:36
your two controllers and then the power
8:38
cord which one's the power power chords
8:40
back here
8:40
yeah the power chord that's the power
8:42
chord yeah okay and then i got the
8:44
three games four games one two three
8:47
four five
8:48
oh do i need the zapper do i need the
8:50
zapper
8:51
i'm actually going to give you a zapper
8:53
so that way when you have an older tv
8:55
that you might get this is your zapper
8:58
okay
8:58
so it doesn't work with the newer tvs it
9:00
will not work on an lcd tv unfortunately
9:03
you can enjoy several games while time
9:06
remains
9:08
1988 the play choice which was also
9:11
shown in the wizard which basically the
9:13
wizard starring fred savage was a movie
9:16
promoting nintendo and they filmed at
9:19
universal studios hollywood which was
9:20
awesome
9:21
what do you use uh to clean up so this
9:23
is a little mixture
9:24
anybody can use it's a brasso
9:28
like a metal like a metal polisher and
9:31
rubbing alcohol diluted and
9:34
it basically just polishes up the pins
9:36
on it
9:42
because your pins are actually almost
9:42
gold-plated
9:43
so that's why i highly recommend always
9:46
cleaning up your games
9:47
always uh instead of blowing on your
9:49
games make sure you just
9:51
spray them and then put them on the
9:54
nintendo windex yeah you can use windex
9:56
because you spray them with windex and
9:57
then put them in the nintendo yep
9:59
it does nothing to it because of that
10:00
moisture just a light amount of windex
10:03
exactly
10:10
i didn't know they made a three stooges
10:10
go ahead and open it
10:11
wow look at that painfully funny
10:14
three stooges game
10:25
so you're just in here kind of browsing

and the plutonium chamber yeah
14:40
are you telling me this sucker is
14:42
nuclear
14:58
that's so cool
14:58
that's true big the foot still got to
15:01
find a tv if possible
15:02
turns out it's a lot more difficult to
15:04
find a box television than you would
15:06
think
15:07
so i picked up a small flat screen used
15:10
from this place okey dokey home
15:13
treasures
15:15
you'll see it when i get back to my
15:16
house in between the two places i showed
15:18
stopped off at another store called
15:20
lost levels in claremont and got
15:23
legendary wings which is one of my
15:24
all-time favorites
15:26
contra excite bike and disney adventures
15:29
in the magic kingdom which i've never
15:31
played before from capcom
15:34
and this little side table tray is going
15:36
to be used as my tv stand
15:38
just need to wipe this stuff down move
15:41
it into the other i'm in the living room
15:42
currently
15:44
you know where i have like a blu-ray
15:45
player dvds but i don't really want to
15:47
have the
15:48
video game system in that same
15:52
room so i'm going to put all this
15:56
move that into the the other area and
15:58
just kind of keep them
16:00
keep them separated got all the
16:02
components and items here scattered
16:04
along the floor
16:06
and the television set up there i think
16:09
that's going to work that's going to be
16:10
a good spot i'll have the
16:13
computer chair right around in here
16:15
which will
16:16
be in close proximity to the gameplay
