Every collector is driven to seek out rare and hard-to-find items of interest and us gamers are no different. While more mainstream media outlets give us programs like American Pickers or Pawn Stars, web-channel RetrowareTV and Captain8Bit present The Game Chasers.
The Game Chasers stars Billy (Captain8BIT of Youtube) and Jay as they travel to flea markets, retail stores, thrift shops, peoples houses off Cragslist and more in search of vintage games. In addition to the previously introduced duo, the show also features guests from other Youtube channels and their hilarious cameramen. Despite a shoestring budget the show has very high production value and is really freaking entertaining.
I blew through 16 episodes in about two days. Whether a collector, someone who used to play as a child or someone who wants to learn about an era of gaming before their own, you should give this show a serious try. Below is an extended cut of the debut episode, I highly recommend you give it a watch.
The Game Chasers is currently in it's second season and you can find them on Youtube and on RetrowareTV.
