Adorable I’ll give him that but what is this game best zero okay I’m guessing we have to collect all of these before the time runs out right collect as many as we can this is pretty simple like it’s not awful I mean it’s not good but it’s not
Awful oh okay there uh pick up that get more time uh go up there okay this is actually quite intense I don’t like the camera angle I think that’s my main issue with this but apart from that this is the new mascot of the channel I hope you like

Hey Roxy and hi Amy. 👋
So many people threw some of these old games out due to clutter including me😂 wish i kept some now, though i still have suikoden 2 which i forgot about until i sent this hence the edited🤣
I don't like real life videos, but I like your game stuff, this is the reason for the like and commend
I'm one of the 3 who came for the retro goodness and stayed for GUBBLE 😛
An interview with the owners/manager/clerk would have been interesting.
6:05 my favourite things were the goofy Spyro plushies
Oh hi Roxy!
this makes me so nostalgic for that Nintendo 64 / PS1 era
An N64 with F-Zero ❤
Omg I didn’t realize what gubble was until you started playing it!!!
My little brother and I used to play that game endlessly 😂 😂 😂
What a hit to the nostalgia. Wow… haven’t thought about that in years
What was the price on that collectors edition demo of tekken? I have that, It was the bonus disk on a magazine in the 90's. Mine is an Australian copy, so it's also PAL…
I wouldn’t recommend this shop at all. very overpriced and he pays little to nothing for trade ins.
The owner of the shop never wants to sell any of his limited edition consoles even though they have a price on them. I traveled across the uk to buy a few funtastic Nintendo 64 consoles and he said he would rather not sell them. he had £150 price stickers on the consoles and I had cash. he then proceeded to tell me before I left that he has multiple of funtastic Nintendo 64 consoles in his store room. sorry he’s not a nice bloke.
the only place you should visit when going to swindon town center, rest is a bit of a dump
Where's the video of Roxy driving in the roundabout in Swindon?
@17:21, I'm still here. Btw I looked up Swindon on Google maps and it's much further then I remembered, thought it was further east, like just north of London.
Mega lo mania was one of the 1st real time strategy games that evolved in time epochs as you research and play, what a game?
Toejam and Earl on mega drive insane game!!!!!
There is a game you would love. It's called boogerman. If you find it you are in for a treat.
Hey, i live in that town!
