what would have been funny is if Joe said "ET" for the 2600 was one of the rarest games ever at a whopping $10,000 per cart, that would have been great. (sarcasm)

Nah, it would have been great if they believed him. xDOriginally Posted by Lostdwarf
Seconded! But at least you represented yourself very well and represented all of us very well. Congratulations and thank you for not wearing broken glasses and a short sleeve button up shirt with a pocket protector.
Joe needs more then 15 minutes. You could make a sort of King of Kong with a selection of the worlds greatest and largest (collection not body mass *ahm) game collectors. The selling of a NWC cart in a real auction. The drama of finding Quadrun 2600 at a thrift store. The drama created when the wife doesn't 'get' the collection. etc etc.

i cant believe you let them touch a 5000 game!
shouldnt those be locked in a case or something?
Autobots. Roll out.
Being that these guys are supposed to be professionals with handling rarities, whether or not Joe is cool with them handling things as such, they should have known better. Almost makes me think they weren't taking him as seriously as they let on. Dicks! That douchey Guitar Hero intro almost made me turn away. I thought it was fucking Matt and Gunnar Nelson for a minute.

The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
You are basically the most famous videogame collector ever
Congrats!
Joe, your pretty comfortable on TV, you seem like a natural
As soon as "Clifton, New Jersey" poped up in the video, a smile came right to my face. It's amazing on how big DP has gotten since then. I'm glad I am apart of this awesomeness.
Amazing job Joe, and Congrats!

Wow those two guys were lame, irritating and I could go on.
But kudos to you man, I don't think I've ever seen such a huge collection! I wish I could visit and check that out for myself!!
I noticed you had the BlockBuster cartidge on the table there (end of the interview) how much does that go for?
Nice clip, excellent presentation of collectors as normal people rather than freaks man! I have to say I'm REALLY glad you made the above statement. Same way I felt when we could go into the museum at CGE and touch stuff. IMO that's how it should be...what's the point of owning something ya can't use?
*bows to Joe*
scooterb: "I once shot a man in Catan, just to watch him die."
I'd have to say $800 as of today, based on some bids I've heard thrown about. I *did* talk about this a bit (because the game's origin is interesting. I brought Chase the Chuckwagon along for the same reason) but that was another bit clipped from the final product!
PS You guys are too kind... I'm honored to represent this community!
What's the point of getting fussy/fidgety over the details? The point is, Joe got some exposure to the hobby for people who might not have known much about it before, and I'd say that's five minutes of fame pretty damn well spent. Kudos man, and thanks!
*scours eBay furiously for Lockjaw*
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
Great appearance! I got a "Hey, don't you own one of those!?" from a friend when she saw this... the game in question: Video Life.
Yes... I do have one of those... and I got it from the guy on the show!
Wow, what a great feature! Thanks again! One love from the UK!
, can of seamen!

Chet: It's futuristic, but that's a crate.
You made an excellent showing. You looked very comfortable in front of the camera. Time to start doing your our show.
I think it would have be fun to bring a few 2600 Mystique games and toss them on the table.
Yet another youtube channel:

Your store is awesome and that was a cool bit. I hope to come to the store again soon before the summer is out.
Wow, outstanding! Good job Joe, makes me want to get back into it...
You shoulda stuck it to em' by saying your most prized game was a 2600 Combat or NES SMB/DH... Ebay would have went crazy
