J Is Manchild (Retro Gaming)

A retrogaming channel mainly dealing with videogames based on TV shows, movies, musicians, food and other weird and wonderful licenses.

I’ve already covered every game on the ZX Spectrum related to a TV Show, and have now branched out to other formats: Amstrad CPC, C64, Amiga, PC, Playstation, Gameboy Color, NES, SNES, Megadrive, MSX, BBC Electron, Master System and Gameboy Advance.

Have also done Games Of The Year videos dating from 1985-2009 (with a couple of book end videos covering before and after); there’s a series based on movies that flopped hard in the cinema, yet still conceived a game; musicians who had a game based on their likeness; and then a series covering all the other licensed games, be they food, celebrities, movies that you wouldn’t think had a game, toys or books.

Plus this is the home of the Genital Facts Arcade Challenge videos, where I take on a gang of Facebook numpties at a selected game, lose but also teach you about the mating habits of human and animals!

Hello, it's been bought to my attention that a few of my recent compilations have an issue where the copyright free music has wiped the commentary from the videos in different places. Many apologies, these looked fine in the previews with the music just supposed to be overwriting the music that was there before.

I'll be spending the next couple of weeks replacing the audio in the problem areas and re-uploading. Note to self: review AFTER the video is processed.

Many apologies!

It's my 5th birthday... well my channel anyway. I've got pubes! Slow progress, but getting there! If reviewing every single game on the Spectrum based on a TV Show is an achievement, that is definitely something that I have achieved. :-/

To celebrate, here are 5 channels under 1000 subscribers you should look at:

youtube.com/@SuperJim - My channel...but funnier and more creative
youtube.com/@GenerationPixel - Way too polished to be under 1000 subscribers.
youtube.com/@GeordieSlasherGaming666 - Howay the LAD!
youtube.com/@ItsCrapContent - One of the most innovative retrogamers on Youtube.
youtube.com/@zombiebobsemporiumofoldtat6039 - Great Channel Name, and really good at Rush N Attack!

And my 5 favourite videos I've done:

https://youtu.be/FTDGEXd9ng0 - Allo Allo: Cartoon Fun On The Amiga - It's incredible that this game exists.
https://youtu.be/uDfiGXJu1hc - Jack Charlton's Match Fishing - It's even more incredible that this game exists. So pleased with the intro.
https://youtu.be/GVSYDJgQTRE - Hi Tec/Hanna Barbera Games On The Spectrum- The best earlier video i did.
https://youtu.be/rRLnfr8J4Ec - Go! Go! Beckham - What a weird idea for a license! Excellent game too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRBYJ... - The 2000's ET Games - WHAT?

Your boy J Is Manchild is in the running for Youtuber Of The Month. There are far more deserving channels, but I'm a pitiable scrote and desperate for attention, so post that you love me in the comments over the others in that video or I'll die. You've got until the 31st December! Go on!
