I haven't Thought About That in Over 30 Years! (NES and SNES memories) 

I will probably never get that feeling I had on those fridays waiting for my dad to get home. Me and my brothers knew we were going to get two games and two movies at the local video store and we were going to McDonald's. I keep those memories forever.

The best feeling ever was when your mom said you could rent 2, or if you found a rent one get one free coupon.

Billys face when he said “coming out” 😂

I could sit and listen to you and Chris reminisce for hours. Great video.

Friday night. The movie rental store parking lot is full. Everyone is getting movies and games. My mom parks the car and I go in. I'm transported to another dimension. Sometimes my mom would have to come get me because I would take too long. It was just me and my mom so money wasn't plentiful. I was choosing the $1.50 game 3 day 2 night rental and if I made a bad decision the weekend would suck. After I finally picked out my game we would go by Carter's Fried Chicken or Little Caesars. This was the only time we ate out for the whole week. It was a big deal. I'll never forget those weekends. NES, SNES, and Genesis. The memories of the games will live forever with me. I'm about to be 44 years old..

There is a shop in San Antonio tx, that started renting RETRO SYSTEMS! Get this only $19.99 per month, you can get nes, snes, Sega Saturn, and several others.... PLUS you can go in and exchange during month for system, say NES for 7 days, then snes, next 7 days etc... for $19.99 monthly! : )

Sunset Riders was so dope. We had the cabinet at my local arcade when I was growing up

The gym I go to is one of the blockbusters original locations in my city and on the first day going in , even before I signed up I literally had a flash back 20+ years of literally walking in to that location as a kid and going to grab harvest moon 64 , Mario 64 etc .. and literally every time I work out I remember exactly how the lay out was and where everything is

Even though you haven't been able to make as many episodes of The Game Chasers proper, I love that you keep finding content to put out there. This is one of my favorite channels. It's great to be able to hear you perspective and share in the stories.

Glad to see Chris has become a big part of this channel. Another perspective of retro gaming, and it reminds me of me and my closest cousin playing games as kids. Fun times.

Chris' room SCREAMS my childhood. Thank you.

There is a spot on the camera. I thought it was my monitor. It's driving me nuts.

My older sister worked at a mom n' pop video store in the late 80's/early 90's, and would bring me NES games home on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so, not only was I getting free rentals, but DELIVERY! She would always clue me in if something was for sale, too. What an underrated resource. I remember falling in love with Air Fortress and Burai Fighter as a result of those days.

Used to rent Sunset Riders, Street Fighter 2 and NBA Jam: TE on rotation every weekend for a long time. In a small town, if you wanted to rent the better games on Friday after school you had to convince your mom to take you to the video store immediately after she picked you up.

The dust/chip on the lense gives Billy a teardrop tattoo...

I played the shit out of F-Zero as a kid when I visited my Mom's on the weekends. I'll never forget it!! I basically mastered every corner of every track and would try to beat my own lap time Record. I was obsessed

"...And the sponsor for today's video is Cobra Kai".

I've been collect sense 2003 , chris started collecting in 2016. Im super jealous of his game room it looks awesome.

I am 61 when we bought my son the NES for Christmas we played dragon warrior 2, life force, bubble bobble

I've rewatched the Game Chasers so many times. Best show on RU-vid!

Listening to you guys talk about our youth and golden times makes me wish y’all had a podcast… I could listen to this kinda stuff all day.

We had curtis mathis in Houston too and we bought our TV and rented movies there. We even bought a nice stereo system with record, tape and cd player. It was nice.

I definitely miss the whole experience of renting games and movies. From when I was a teenager and had my license and taking a girlfriend up to pick out a movie to back when I was a kid and renting NES and SNES games. The convenience of Netflix and downloading is nice, but I loved strolling thru Blockbuster or what we had in NW Indiana, Box Office Video.

I grew up in a small town called denver Indiana and they had an old hardware store with a little video section where you could rent vhs's and nes, snes, sega and n64 games...the best!...and it was called...."the denver hardware"...classic!

Billy’s face “ when I started coming out” 😂

I remember renting 4 games when we lived in Australia in 1990. Duck Tales, Zelda 2, Ikari Warriors, and Double Dribble.

I really liked watching the discussion between you two guys and the reminiscing in this video, stuff that only family members could both share at early ages. Makes me think of fun talks I had with my cousin as well!

Billy's face at 3:17

That shelf in the background is sick

Chris saying Billy always had chode hair in the SNES mouse ball was one of the funniest things I've heard this year. This year isn't that old but still...and thanks Haha :)

Chris always looks like he just got done smoking alot of the devils lettuce lol.

I'm too young to even have N64 memories, but my fondest memories were weekends playing video games too. I remember looking through Pizza Hut coupons in our phonebook and ordering the best deal and playing Smash bros Melee on the GameCube with my neighbors. Those were the best weekends.

Awesome video! Those Friday nights of going with the family to Blockbuster to rent games and movies are priceless. Kinda depressing that everything is digital... nothing beats that experience of hanging with family on those nights!

I really like these types of videos where you guys just sit and reminisce about your childhood. I can almost picture the story you're telling. Hollywood Video was the place for me and my brothers to go rent games. Every time was an adventure. Our Bible Adventures moment was Superman 64. lol.

“That’s my Playstation!”

I love these chats, would like to see a lot more of these. Great video!

Your bro from childhood still hang out. That's awesome!

I love these types of videos. Keep it up fellas!

My best rental ever was TMNT in Time for the SNES. Also renting a 3DO, at the time was mind blowing.

this vid and the comments, so relatable. The nostalgia !!!!! So many great memories growing up with my cousins renting games & movies for the weekend. Straight G.I. Joes, nes/snes were life !! all weekend long. cool stuff yall !

The wisdom tree games give me the best feelings. I love them to this day ecspecially King of kings

God that thing on your camera lens gets me every time

Hooray for a video! There was a time where I was sick of hearing about the Bible Adventure rental story. Not after hearing it a dozen times i feel like it’s part of my childhood too! Mission accomplished. Hope you all are well. I wish I would have discovered this channel back 8 years ago when I was bigger into collecting. Still love all the content!

“Blockbuster Video, wow what a difference “. Yes, Friday nights , I’m hitting it up for a video game rental. Good times. Thanks for sharing, chodes 👍💯🎮

Love that background.

That little crack or speck on the camera over Billy's face in a lot of frames is driving me crazy lol.

I am looking for a REALLY obscure NES game and I can’t remember the name and it was made by a very unknown company. It’s was weird all I can remember about it is this detective looking guy walking around on a dock and these futuristic flying vehicles would fly by and you could jump in to ride in them and jump back out of them. I know that isn’t anything to go on but anyone might know would the help would be greatly appreciated

I was born in 93. I was playing the 64 to its end cycle. At the same time I was playing the snes. I remember vaguely a loony toons space side shoot Daffy Duck game. I loved the colors in it.Really remember All the DK games. Super mario bros of course and Metroid !!!!! TMNT, street fighter And mario rpg. That was it for the super. But Ps1 wow 🤩. Right when you guys said mega man. Mega man X. Wooooooooo. MK 1-2-3 was on the Sega Gen for me

Used to play the sunset riders arcade at panchos Mexican buffet off buckingham and Garland ave in Garland,tx as a kid

I love the Bible Adventures story. I had these friends who weren't allowed to do anything unless it had "Bible" in it, and one thing they loaned me once was Exodus by the same company that made Bible Adventures. It's a craptastic game with a maddening soundtrack, but it was also oddly addictive and have memories playing it with friends and family watching. Finally got my own cart for $8 decades later. So the episode where you all got Chris his own Bible Adventures resonates with me. lol

I love these guys

I'm always inspired to go game hunting because of you guys.

I have a lot of good memories of renting games and VHS tapes. One time my parents left some random VHS tape we rented on the top of the car and drove off and the store charged them $90. Thank goodness I never lost any games. I held on to those things pretty tight. All the places where I rented from as a kid are gone now which is sad.

None of my local game rental places had membership cards. We usually just gave a phone number and verified the last name. I remember a few times when I had a high late fee charge and I would just use a friend's account. The closest Blockbuster was over an hour away. I didn't rent at a Blockbuster until I went to college. I preferred the local game stores we had. Blockbuster was so much more expensive.

NO WAY! YOU GUYS HAD A FOR LEASE IN YOUR TOWN TOO? Man, that chain is EVERYWHERE these days...

This war awesome. Sorta the thing I remember when I stayed over at my cousins. We'd always go to the video drive in and rent a movie.The place is a tanning salon now. That comment though about the last time you went to rent and didn't know it was the last time. I think Chris is right, if you knew it would ruin it.

The store you're describing sounds like a "Curtis Mathes" you even mentioned that your grandparents had that TV... They rented games in the NES era. I'd be willing to bet that's what it was.

I still love that KB display

... I don't remember those BIG RED WINDOWS, but I remember BIG RED. I LOVE YOU BIG RED!!

Greatest rental was clay fighters 63 sculptures cut. Still can't play that version of the game!

Curtis Mathis ... that is a name I haven’t heard in years! We had a TV from there, and our local one rented out movies and games too. I spent a lot of time in that store.

Also remember having to call my local rental store in Garland movie show video to try and get mega man 2 and after 2 weeks we rented it, got to dr Will’s castle and the NES freezing when we got to dr wily

I'm a simple man, I see a Montucky Cold Snack, I hit the like button

In UK I never rented from Blockbuster but I remember renting early PS1 games from The Ritz which was baught out by Blockbuster I think.

He is coming out 💖

Sunset riders is awesome ther used to be an arcade cabinet with sunset riders in the corner shop on the way home from school and I’d always go in there on my way home from school with my mom and brouther and some times we would play it I was about 7-8 I loved that game 50c a game

These videos should be part of the "Back in my day" series, actually, bring back that series. By the way I've been trying to wipe out a stain on my screen for about six minutes before I realized it is part of the video.

More vids with chris and Yourself !

I actually remember the last game I rented, which was from blockbuster. That would be King Kong for ps2, probably 2003 or 2004ish..

I can recall scenes from movies on tvs that I like just went passet haha and other small weird things

You would just walk out Billy. LMAO!

If it wasn't for Nintendo at least in America we may never have had Playstation or Sega imagine a world were video games never took off the way it did I can only imagine but it's thanks to Nintendo after all for helping us out of that state back then and I love most Nes and SNES games

The Bible Adventures story will never get old 😂

I think I'm around your age and when you talk about gaming rentals some times my mind goes to the arcade when I got money to play....and I for get that I didn't pay to rent that money to play that...lol I'm getting old!!!

Game was awesome and raising the little flag for extra sopapillas was the sh*t

3:17 PRICELESS, I F@CKING KNEW IT, LOL !!!!

These are the best videos other than the game hunting videos. Thank you. I hope you're all doing well and staying safe.

I rented 5 games only in my life (...im btw the same age as Chris) : talespin and ducktales on the NES and Tomb Raider, Doom and Suikoden 2 on the playstation 1! pretty good games when I think about it.

I remember, towards the end, going to Blockbuster's and realizing none of the games were particularly interesting anymore. I had played all the good N64 games I didn't own. And I knew I couldn't really justify coming to rent much longer. Banjo Kazooie MIGHT have been my last rental. So in a way, renting went out on a high note.

What a way to wake up. Thanks chaps 👍🏻

JARS, was that the game store originally next to star super market. 3rd and marshall.

What's better than one Billy? Double Billy.

Love the turtles background music!

You two should review new games maybe with a guest every show, I really enjoy listening to you guys reminisce on the old times. Or even review old games idc haha, but maybe just switch off playing with the guest, whilst interviewing them. Maybe the guest would bring the games or somethin.

More of this, fellas!

You guys really had it made

You know, they often say that the most vivid memories we have are due to traumatic experiences

That's how it happens flashback boom. You will be out flea marketing or you see or hear a song and it will make u remember shit you forgot.

Another great ep!

I had some fond memories playing Super NES and Nes games My older Brother got me into Mario and Punch-Out then later in life was Turtles in time and Batman Returns, Looney Tunes B-Ball

Damn yall definitely Family! Look just alike

I miss my Blockbuster, got torn dawn a few years ago

If you liked Sunset Riders you should try Mystic Warriors

Sitting here buzzed and cant figure out how to clean the smudge off my screen ...thanks

Back in my day, I could go to blockbuster with $5 rent a game and get change!

I let a friend borrow Mario paint and my mouse and never saw it again...

I rented yoshis safari not knowing i needed the super scope 😒 and never returned it and still have never played it.

Its funny i nvr once rented a game, my parents didnt have membership to any video stores, my dad dud but i only was with him a couple weekends a month, we always rented movies my nes was at my moms house, but i was lucky my step dad would buy me games all the time, especially once they started going on sale hed buy me like 3 or 4 at once, we lived next door to my cousins they would sell me games as they got new ones, he bought me ten games for 100 bux with the carry case from my cousin the one day, i had like 60 70 games by 92 then i got genesis for xmas in 92 and for some reason pretty much just played nes ganes still i only had like 15 genesis gamez

I always passed up Rampart than me n my cousin finally rented i had so much

Where can i find this amazing TMNT poster?
