why are you wearing house slippers again i'm not wearing house slippers these are
a mix between moccasins and house slippers business on the bottom party on the top
hey what do we have here this is called an m82 unit that is a nintendo nes demo kiosk
so it was placed in retail stores and you could demo 12 different games on it
so um in simpler terms you played nintendo on it you could play intend to honor okay
i'm here today to sell my m82 demo unit and nintendo entertainment center
the m82 was distributed to retailers back in the 80s so that people could come in and play
12 different games and try them before they bought them i am a little bit of a video game
nerd i'm a video game collector today i'm looking to get about 4 500 for the nintendo
it is really interesting i mean nintendo 1983 came out with a famicom it was basically an acronym for
the family computer was released in japan in 1985 they came out with the nintendo entertainment
system they did not want to call it a video game that's right um because at this point home video
games were basically dead in the united states because everyone got burned down on the entire
2600 that's right um so nintendo did something that really wasn't done very often back then it's
not even done today they told all the retailers in new york if you can't sell them we'll buy them
all back which would have probably bankrupted the company that's why you would have needed
something like this because if you were able to play something like this full of different games
it might convince you to buy a nintendo right there this was only at a retail center only sent
to retailers themselves so to get one of these is pretty pretty darn rare there's basically 12
nintendo's in this thing so how did you get this somebody who was friends with someone who worked
at a retail center bought it and then resold it to me so it works just like a nintendo just like
a standard nes you can just play 12 games that's the difference so you have to blow the cartridge
out before you play it absolutely okay um how much you want for it i'm looking for 4 500 for it
it's super cool i'll give you that anything early nintendo and certain rare nintendo things are
going for insane money i'm talking like hundreds of thousands of dollars yeah but i don't know if
this is worth money i just don't i actually have a guy that is in the video game business
like he deals in all this vintage stuff sure if i can call him up and have him take a look at it
um we can go from there yeah yeah absolutely all right i'm gonna go give a call hang out and um
don't break it jump i'm gonna find a tv we'll test this thing out yeah absolutely
so it's a m82 nes you don't see these every day i love this kind of stuff as a preservationist or
someone who loves the history of this this this is really something cool back in the day stores
that were selling nintendo games would have to look through these things called merchandise
manuals and they would pick um different items that they would want to put in their stores
to help sell their games essentially something like this costs a store owner
a lot of money and what i love about this one is that it's not something you just look at
this functions okay cool let's test it out is it all plugged in chub yeah it's plugged in
you probably don't know how to do it but you have to turn the power on
what game is this so this is actually really cool too this is kind of something different this is
called a homebrew people who loved nes games and also knew how to program stuff they started
programming their own nes games it's something someone crafted in their own garage or their
basement they weren't licensed by nintendo or any official company it's just a passion project
someone just made this yeah this guy kevin hanley program this game as well as several other
fantastic games i think this one's called nescape and you got to kind of go through the different
rooms got to just kind of figure your way out this is cool there's a very niche kind of aspect to the
video game collecting where it's not just about the games it's about all the peripherals it's
about the display units basically if it wasn't meant to be collected it's collectible okay um
so what's it worth i mean is it in good shape is it you know yeah surprisingly it is on the open
market you know these used to sell for fifteen hundred two thousand dollars so they've been
valuable for a long time but given that one hasn't come up in a while and that they're they're harder
and harder to find i'd say this is probably closer to 3 000 if it came up on the open market today
all right thanks man i appreciate it happy to help all right see you later
thanks he says i can probably get three grand out of it i'll give you two i could go to 3 500.
it would make zero economic sense for something that has a current retail value of 3
dollars paid 3 500. i understand i just i i think the market's higher than that
okay anyway thanks for bringing it in man it's really cool and uh help them out here chum
there you go sorry my boss is a cheap ass no worries i need to learn more about these
homebrew games they're cool but fun i didn't make a sale today but i still have a couple lives left
and i think i'm going to hit the reset button and make a sale somewhere else that was pretty cool
i didn't know that you could get a home brewed game mate yeah these are like the next big thing
homebrew nintendo games have you ever heard of home brewed games like for nintendo like with beer
no like you know how there's nintendo games licensed by nintendo
well there's other people that make games in a nintendo cartridge but they just make
it at home so people can make a nintendo game now and play it in the old school nes
like if i made a game i'd be the character and you could sell it here at the pawn shop you're
gonna make a video game about yourself sounds like a good idea to me a video game character
that does nothing would not be a good character i actually know kung fu okay you don't know kung fu
are you gonna make a video game about napping no maybe about you know getting rid of my boss or
something like that taking over his empire no one would ever buy that i'd be like a kung fu
master and i'd come in and i'd take over the pawn shop first level i'd whoop corey second
level i'd run right through you and then you will no longer be a part of my dynasty
that sounds like you have some issues corey are you listening to this nope tuned out a minute ago
no one's gonna want a chumly video game why not i'm badass there's pointless conversations
that i've heard but this is probably the most pointless you know what the more i
think about homebrewed game the better idea i think it is i'm gonna go drop a story plan
so this is called a what this is a homebrew game and you brewed it i had a maid yeah
what's the thing it's doing with his stomach it's trying to like attack me with a stomach you know
that movie used to do when you were fat oh the belly buster is that what you call it that's what
you call that right this is where you guys are at yeah what is this this is the best invention known
to mankind so you made a video game yeah this is the adventures of chun li the quest for pinky
why are you kicking old people because i know kung fu chump and i'm in it too
wait till you get to me what's the whole concept here though it's a game about a prince who has to
save his beautiful beloved pup from an evil evil bad bad boss who runs a pawn shop in las vegas
the boss is bald and overweight so that this evil boss is at me it does have a resemblance to you
but you know we don't want to pay licensing agreements so it's not you is that supposed
to be you obviously doesn't look like me and you're beating up customers at the pawn shop
these aren't customers these are your goons look there i am there's your number one goon right
there see that see that thrust i'm doing it's called the belly buster corey could you please
just get them back to work i want to see what i look like in the game you look like a badass
pops go to work you know what just go to work dad get your five minutes and get over this all right
this is epic let me see what my dad looks like i gave him a black goatee instead of a gray one
so he actually looks younger
you
