Can someone give me a recommendation to a good YouTube channel for retro games?  I only know a few as of now.

CGRUndertow
PatTheNESPunk
MrGameSack
GameHunterVideos
RetroWareTV
TheRetroDemon

Any others I should check out??

Thanks!

...what are you expecting? Does it have to be YouTube?

Not really but I work shiftwork so I'm always looking for retro games videos.  Most gaming sites are blocked here but YouTube is available.  I just wasn't sure if there is a really good channel that I'm missing out on. 

Gamester81 has some decent vids.

I want to make Drunken Master Paul's ridiculous nachos!

Not a youtube channel but Cinemassacre is ok for some retro gaming stuff. That is the home of the Angry Video Game Nerd for those who don't already know but most do know that. Anyways, I enjoy the site and a HUGE fan of the AVGN character/show.

If Twitch isn't blocked, I can certainly recommend a lot of good streamers that play/speedrun classic games.

Video Game Sellers is a decent youtube show. Its a guy who films his buddy who runs a flea market both each weekend in Florida. Different perspective than guys picking stuff up. He also has a lot of other gaming related videos in his channel too.

I like Metal Jesus a lot. Also I second any CGR channels. Always quality stuff.

I second happy console gamer they are awesome very fun to watch and Johnny (the guy with all the piercings) has excellent story telling skills http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2vUKoTGIwNYq4LO0YWKPIg  . What i find cool is i live like 4 hours away from them. Cgr is awesome too but you know them anyway but they have a second channel called income company which in my opinion is better http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh4syoTtvmYlDMeMnwS5dmA . Also peter dorr is a excellent channel to check out http://www.youtube.com/user/PeteDorr. Finngamer is very underrated he makes quality videos http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcHOXVEt2H3t7pHmhhohinw .  TV and lust is decent not amazing but check him out http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN9ZmlnjZcKhRwhBOsLD1tA .

i second finngamer, also lithium017 if he wasn't mentioned already.

Thanks all!  I'll be busy at work tonight!!

But wait there's more!

If you just wanna see gamplay videos, I recommend you watch a "Let's Play".  Let's Plays or "LPs" are just people playing the games you love beat by beat and usually have their own personal commentary behind it.  There are LPs for just about any game you can think of, retro and modern.  Crabmaster2000 here at RfGen does LPs without commentary which isn't a bad thing, because some LPers are impossible to listen to.  There are other good ones with commentary though that are worth your time.

Wanted to bump this thread since I'm on a bit of a youtube kick right now. Using the youtube app on my PS3 which can be controlled with a smartphone. Very dangerous potential for time wasting.  :P

Someone already mentioned Game Sack but they deserve another mention

Caddicarus does really funny reviews mostly of 32-bit era stuff

Here's one MrUnorignal told me about. Seems similar to Crabby in that he's covering every NES game but goes through them quickly and gives a little history. I didn't much care for it but thought the citizens of this NES-centric forum would love it

Shameless plug for my channel. I do modern and retro. I used to do music and G4 Icons but now do my own thing. I mainly in HCG style talk about games I enjoy or something about gaming I like. I try and keep things positive in the videos

I'll def check it out.

I have a youtube channel as well. I mostly do Game Hunting video. I have footage of me driving around and going to local goodwills and what not finding games. I would like to do some review in the future or footage of me and a friend just playing a random game who knows

Looking for more arcade info after Bil's article?

Classic Game Room has been really helpful for deciding which games to add to my WTB lists, one of the few reviewers that aren't obnoxiously annoying to listen to.

I didn't see it mentioned but MetalJesus is really great to watch.
He has a ton of hidden gem videos for every system.

Also shows off some old school computer games and vinyl.

Can't recommend him enough.

There's always GameRaveTV  ;D

I'll be more than happy to endorse your channel, Jason. Nice to see things are going well for you and your channel.

Hopefully my youtube channel once I get it going. I got a lot of Sega Master System to talk about  :)

I'll mention my 2 favorites...

Lazy Game Reviews - I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned, he's very popular. He rarely does console games, but if you're into 1980's and 1990's computer gaming, he's the ultimate authority in my eyes. He has a great MS-DOS playlist with over 100 games.

Aqualung Game Reviews - He's does not get a lot of views, but I think he's great. He's been doing it for years. I think he just got lost in the mix because he doesn't appear on camera and do corny $h1t like most of these other reviewers do. Apparently, doing things like fake puking on a bad NES game gets more viewers than talking about it. SMH @ society

May I recommmend The Backlog with Joe Walker?

These guys are trying to beat every NES game. They're from Wisconsin (w00t) and have a complete NES set. Fun guys.
