John Riggs is like your cool retro-gaming uncle who somehow knows every obscure NES game, can fix a busted cartridge with a mystical wiggle, and still has time to hit up every regional swap meet for hidden gems. With his signature beanie, dad-joke delivery, and an unshakable love for all things old-school gaming, he’s the guy who’ll excitedly tell you about a weird Japanese Famicom game that “never made it to the States, but totally should have.” His channel is a delightful mix of nostalgia, game restoration, and food reviews—because what’s a good gaming session without a questionable gas station snack to go with it?

He’s also got a superpower: bringing dead games back to life. If you’ve got a cartridge that won’t boot, he’ll pop it open, work some voodoo with a cotton swab and a screwdriver, and suddenly—boom—your childhood memories are playable again. And while he’s mostly about gaming, his love of junk food and random pop culture deep dives make every video feel like hanging out in a basement full of CRT TVs, Doritos crumbs, and pure, unfiltered 80s and 90s energy. If you ever wanted a gaming channel run by a guy who could talk about rare Sega Genesis prototypes and rank the best convenience store taquitos in the same breath, John Riggs is your guy.
