Video Game Esoterica is my YouTube gaming channel dedicated to the rare and obscure! Come watch and have fun! Come follow us on Instagram @ ChicagoGameCollector
The kitten distribution system picked our number today. My wife found this little guy outside her work. One vet visit later to find out he had no chip and was underweight but healthy…he’s now here with us. Retro gaming naming suggestions? 😂
Mrs Esoterica’s last night at her current job before she starts a new, bigger and better job week after next. Oh also I have a face 😂 I don’t hide it, but I also don’t show it. People do ask though!
Weekend Update! Tomorrow’s Mortal Kombat Pocket FPGA video will be the last time VGE covers cores from CoinOpCollection until the strikes against
@PixelCNinja
are rescinded. Simple as that. The video will be positive as the work is quality. Feel free to argue in the comments 🤣
@hard4games
Let me translate that “it’s only fun if I’m the only one who can enjoy it. Once everyone can I don’t feel special anymore and it’s the only thing that makes me feel special” 😂
I asked if you wanted me to open it and dump it. And I did just that! Value ruined? Meh who cares. Video eventually...and obviously I’ll share the dump!

The amount of angry comments and unsubs on a video about

was wild. The held comments…wow some real horrible stuff. But I don’t need those viewers. I’m here to make people happy. ALL people!
@exok_games
awesome job! Loved playing it!
Seems like today everyone is craving D…glad to see the game and Kenji Eno’s work finally getting the love and attention it deserves. Now if I can just find the 3DO M2 version of D2.

Did you know Video Game Esoterica has a face? A rare sighting indeed (I have no idea why I don’t put myself on my channel. Just never do) but it’s the first warm day in Chicago and I put down the

Who wants more 3DO M2 software dumps? Because I’ve got some new weird hardware in and some discs that haven’t been dumped or uploaded as well! (Notice I say software, not “games”) Raise your hands!

Uploading my

On the topic of rare things I remembered I have a sealed copy of a stand alone Korean release of Bubble Memories that’s nowhere online / not dumped. Open on a video, review and dump? Why not!

Steal my content? That I shot on my camera? Use six minutes of MY work product without ever asking permission or even crediting me? TAKEDOWN REQUEST! I am not f’ing around with this any longer. JUST ASK ME

Is anyone interested in acquiring a prototype
#Apple
Bandai Pippin dev console? I rarely sell anything from my collection but I’m NEVER gonna plug this thing in again and I bet someone would love it more than me. Comes with prototype controller too (it won’t be cheap lol)
I am in a good mood so…

he gave a thumbs up to the board quality…and he put a camera on the moon 👍
I am starting a new retrospective series tomorrow morning; 34 episodes across 34 weeks. The longest retrospective I’ve ever done. I better hope it doesn’t fail or I am in for a LONG ride 🤣cause all the episodes are done!

I’ve been seeing a LOT of “hot takes” about gaming lately so here’s my two cents that nobody asked for! Enjoy what you enjoy, play how you want to play, convince others to try games you love, stop telling people their tastes suck and just have fun! Also 3DO is cool!
#RETROGAMING
Glad to see another big retro gaming channel stole content from me, including in camera shots of rare hardware only I own, without asking nor providing credit. Just ask! I’ll say yes! But now I’m writing the copyright claim because I’m OVER THIS!

I said yesterday that insane
#3DO
M2 auction made me feel like doing a new video…so I shot a full 3DO M2 4K teardown and threw in some unused NOS M2 chips in for fun 😉 coming soon

I was teasing this on YT with super up close photos but…after years of hunting I finally acquired a Panasonic FZ-21S. I’ll tear it down on the channel this fall! The final evolution of the 3DO M2!

and

fun we’ve all had together. Next stop 5 million…and then after that 69,000,000 views! (I am a very mature adult. I know 😂)
My 3DO M2 video yesterday is my most DISLIKED video of the year on my channel 🤣 I mean it’s still 97.5% up vs down…guess some people don’t like giving away the goods for free vs hoarding? Guess next time I’ll go even harder!
