I personally like Phil's Computer Lab. Lots of benchmarking and straight facts, doesn't care about being a youtube celebrity. DOS to Windows XP/Vista gaming

[spudbynight]

I personally like Chinnyvision. I can’t believe that guy only has about 3500 subs on YouTube.

 

[Chris [BEANS]]

If you guys really are retro gaming fans, there is only one place to be on Youtube!!


One Credit Classics

The guy who hosts the channel is clearly super passionate about the games that formed his youth. There's a new game cleared every week, usually 8 bit or 16 bit console games, often an arcade classic too.
Then there are multi part long play videos every Saturday too.

There have been some real highlights and definitely something for everyone.

Among lots of other things there's:-


One credit clear of Ghouls 'N Ghosts Arcade

One credit clear of R-Type Arcade

Multi part series on Shining Force

Multi part series of Super Mario World

Golden Axe Arcade - hardest difficulty, no energy lost


Tons more there to entertain you people too. Give him a watch and a sub (thumbs up emoji)

 

[Digital X]

I can't remember if it was here, but a guy does gadget repairs on old tech? https://www.youtube.com/user/GadgetUK164

 

[Duke]

Nice one chaps, I'll get them added to the list once home.

 

[[HB]Rugrat]

Some great links here, I was just running out of stuff to watch on nostalgia nerd

 

[jrwagh333]

Love MetalJesus - always very entertaining videos IMO

 

[Mr Plow]

Here's a few more to add to the list:

ModernVintageGamer

MsMadLemon

My Life in Gaming

 

[Housey]

For me My Life in Gaming above is the best. Sure, yanks, but still great content

 

[lakitu]

I like This Does Not Compute

 

[Deleted member 651465]

How has anyone not mentioned ETA Prime? Some really good instructional videos about the raspberry pi and other single board computers used for emulation.

He’s also started doing reviews of the c64 mini, NES classic and SNES classic to name a few.

[Duke]

Some good links there, I've gone through most and added them in and will do some more later. Subbed to quite a few I wasn't sure about ETA Prime (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_0CVCfC_3iuHqmyClu59Uw) as it has a lot of emulation stuff on it which I thought was a big no no AFAIK?

 

[Chris [BEANS]]

We're not allowed to talk about it directly, but everyone knows about it and almost all retro fans use it, would be silly to pretend it doesn't exist.

I guess I understand why we can't actually discuss emulation on here though. I'm sure there are plenty of places on the web for that.

I’m not endorsing it but his videos are more than emulation, he’s got some good overclocking videos and reviews of single board computers.

 

[spudbynight]

Has anyone seen Top Hat Gaming Man?

I just dont like his videos but he seems to have a decent number of subscribers on YouTube.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Seen him feature on Retromancave Virtual Boy video and he came over as a bit of a prat.
