Classic Game Room HD - COMBAT for Atari Pen review

[Bongwyre2112]

Mark can make any game seem like the greatest game of all time.

[gnamp]

What name did you write on the label of the tape that you used when filming yourself writing on the Combat tape?

[Crazzyshooter88]

They are not at walgreens anymore

[NESAtariSegaNerd]

That's just a stupid typical Tank game for POP stations with Atari slapped on it. :P

[llj355]

@NESAtariSegaNerd Hello, fellow Ashens fan...

[SlaytonRider]

I need that pen

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

$10 says Mark still uses this pen at work.

[nathanallan1]

Did you know that Infogrames remade Combat for the PC? I have it.

[NINJACH0P957]

Tetris with guns? THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!!! all tetris needs now is flamethrowers and zombies.

[steve5123456789]

Why does everything look like tetris on those things.

[uwright22]

i want this now

[jtomally9681]

It is highly over rated for stuff like this now a days, but it is still one of the coolest classic things around.

[angelpichu1]

do you know what you just got for yourself?!? that's a 9999 in 1 game! i've seen other people reveiw them and they are REALLY horrrible! espessially the music!

please don't spam this comment i am only telling the truth....

[MrGameboy1989]

tetris with GUNS, i take 10

[xDanielx2016]

I'd like to see the current generation of games get ported onto pens! It makes homework fun again!

[xDanielx2016]

I'd like to see the current generation of games get ported onto mens! It makes homework fun again!

[SakuraAvalon]

@xDanielx2016 To bad that wouldn't work.

Atari games were simple are about getting a highscore, where now-a-days games go with full stories and long journeys and yada-yada.

[MattTheSaiyan]

A generic Brick game. With Atari branding. This is wrong!

[MrTURBOJOHN]

that must be good for math class

Student plays combat*

Teacher: What are you doing?

Student: I'm writing

Teacher: So whats that you have there?

Student: Its a pen

LOOOL

[Yoshii49]

pens are apparently not the best systems to play games on

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

he's getting his ass kicked by a pen.

[foureyes99]

This video should have a million views.

[KingDavid73]

my calculator plays better games than that, lol

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@KingDavid73 I bet your pen doesn't

[KingDavid73]

@MrTURBOJOHN touché 

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@KingDavid73 I don't understand

[IvanCrystalColor]

i had this game on a handheld called Brick Game along with tetris, snake and many other games

[arbayer2]

:O Oh my god... I remember having this exact game, albeit in non-pen form, like a decade ago. So awesome. ^_^

[treeepo1]

this is not HD

[blingdaddy1]

ITS THE POP STATION AHHH

[Snotnarok]

@blingdaddy1 It's a Dr Ashens fan, ahh!!



[blingdaddy1]

@Snotnarok no not really i just felt like sayin it.im actually a tweeterman287 fan!

[Daiwin82]

I want to find me a Combat pen now! ;)

[icgd1337r]

LOL. I had similar devices (the only thing, it was shaped more like a big Gameboy) with several games, this version of Combat came first, then there were also some race games, something like Space Invaders, a Breakout clone, and a bunch of Tetris variations.

[good4gamesguy]

Not worth it. You can find something with that game and more for $7.00.

[Mrnintendo64guy]

id use it at school

[Cheetah1251]

Wow you reviewed a pen for 7 minutes.

[bazfanv2]

That pen looks cool for a fancy gimmick, however the gameplay looks frustrating as hell.

[ejmaster1100]

i had one of those but it was centipede

[lioko180]

meh want

[NexusARC]

Uh.... I got the Ipen app.

[Lumzdas9]

After 20-30 years we will have Fallout 3 pens. Can't wait for that.

[demonslayer1000]

lol "this is like tetris with guns

[qqw52]

tetris with guns= epic!

[ElectricIndica420]

great find!

[koisanjie]

Why stop at pens? Why not play games on pencils, erasers, pieces of chalk, heck, even staplers should have games on them, too.

[natenaterson]

This pen looks like it has the same guts as a terrible generic LCD game that I once reviewed. I had one of those "999 in 1" games and it had this identical game on it.

[SuperNESFreak]

2:08 Looks familiar to the PolyStation or whatever it was called, and the dozens of other consoles using the exact same names.

[ZeroNinetyFour]

To bad there's no button to turn the pen into a big COMBAT tank that shoots blocks and kills people :(

[Floconbob]

i finally found one on ebay. gonna try this in french class =D

[gangstajacy]

well did it work? lol

[Floconbob]

it did :D

[animefanclay]

"Something that says pull... should probably do that then, huh" *tune plays* "That's *bleep* awesome, this is the best pen I ever had."

I agree

[CountYorik]

"What's the point of using this thing in the study hall if you can't rock some bass" *tune plays*

Classic.

[ilikepieism]

now they have like 4 of these on some games and they also sell some mini board game pens like trouble

[giojavier12]

the intro song from the pen is not fucking awesome

[Luigi84289]

That's the coolest thing ever made.

[jtomally9681]

@Luigi84289 They are majorly expensive to order on the internet.

[Beccar217]

Oh my dear God I love it.

[Derrek124]

i ripped off the pen part

[sawfan25]

i didnt like combat on the 2600

[Tryzon]

Where does one find such insane things as a Combat pen?!

I want one :(

[Luigi84289]

Wallgreens, Mark says it in the video.

[Tryzon]

Oh, right. I have no idea where or what that is, being Britain-based, but I should have heard the name anyway. Thanks for clearing that up: I thought he'd been visiting some shady backstreet peddlers and buying Atari pens. Not that Atari pens aren't awesome, but I've never seen anything like them before.

[Segadude3000]

don't worry, i hate LCD tanks too

[NIGHTMAREMASTERDEAD4]

hey also i saw this in supermall at i domt konw i saw that dough

[BlinkyBling66]

I had this game and a lot of other ones on some kinda gameboy when I was younger.

[Tryzon]

Seems impractical for writing with. But that's hardly the point.

[lastcody]

lol "That's F*cking awesome, this is the best pen Iv ever had!" XD I have a one of those it is F*cking Awesome! ^^

[dhspacman]

i bought one of these except it was asteroid

[Snotnarok]

This reminds me of the starfox game/watch I had way back when.

[ditto0007]

is it 6 dollars at walgreen

[kapyrauhanen]

rock some bass :D haha

[hrhgreasemonkey]

= )

atari combat pen + 2 hour, 1 essay question, philosophy finals = good times!

[AdMACisK00L]

HHAHAHA "thats fckin awesome this is the best pen i ever had"

[Fanvadenaxar]

ROFL!

[Numba1H8ter]

That was the best quote I have ever heard. I am still lulz.

[mexicoman101]

lololololololololololololol

[8H2324]

lol, $6.00 at walgreen.

[plurp7]

this sort of makes me want to eat cheese.

[brickhead543]

lol whydoes it wanna make u eat cheez :D

[Indead]

Looks pretty cool, maybe whenever I'm bored one of these days, I'll run over to Walgreens or the new Dollar General they're throwing up and try and find one. Always hilarious to see you get frustrated Mark =P

[NESMASTER14]

whoah, I must be a n00b at Atari (I collect NES), but honestly when I saw this game start up, I thought it was Tetris. haha. By the way, what was the first game you reviewed on the internet?

[sidexwalk]

"thats fucking awesome this is the best pen i've ever had" hahha

[zidaneff]

reminds me of my starfox watch I used to have

[timerthy]

dont u tell me u had 1 as well i use 2 love that thing

[Disthron]

Funny reveiw but not something I'd buy. ^_^

[haavis]

Love this. Keep it up.

[Kowazi]

Nice mark. You bought the best pen in the world! I want the pen!

[synthem]

i'm soooo glad i subscribed to classic game room. i wish they'd make this kind of pen with metal gear solid 4 or gta4 on them. that would be fun. you could be sitting on the toilet, running through liberty city, and at the same time (here is where the advantage over the psp comes in) write a postmodern novel on the toilet paper.

(i hereby also thank lee from stillgaming, who mentioned classic game room in a review and thus helped me discover this channel)

[Khetti]

"rock some bass", ahahahaha. Excellent review.

[AcousticDave94]

you know, some emulators let you make the sprites on games look diffrent. so mark, im gunna actual make wind squid, or atleast try, you get all copyrights ofcource

[cabarto]

There's someone out there who has the unique job of dreaming up ways to make Mark buy stuff. Usually this person just slaps 'Atari' stickers on junk, sends it to retail, and hopes for the best.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

My dreams of having an arcade machine stuck to the end of a biro have finally come true!!!

[seanobi777]

Also I think he wrote at the end "Classic Game Room #2 - Combat Pen (i think he wrote pen as the last word?)

[InecomCompany]

I've never won an award for penmanship. It says "Classic Game Room HD - Combat Pen!" and it was the actual tape I shot the review on! -CGRHD

[Rep2369]

That's what I thought it said. I figured you labeled the actual tape for your records with the pen, and yes I saw it before this post. I will not be revealing my forum identity, it must remain a mystery! A little math problem for anyone who doesn't know. -2369 = my forum name lol. Another great review Mark, I love the off the cuff "B roll" (as you called it) reviews :)

[seanobi777]

Thats what I thought =D, I noticed on some videos, at the ending, you dont put the funny quotes at the end (on SOME) I look forward to those messages lol, but keep up the awesome kick-anus work =P

[seanobi777]

Dude... you OPENED it! It might've been worth something one day, of course, worth a lot more unopened anyway...

[AcousticDave94]

WindSquid supports the Atari Pen

[InecomCompany]

AcousticDave94 has revealed his secret forum identity.

[AcousticDave94]

Mwahaha! ]: )

[knuxthefox]

@AcousticDave94 What that?  Wind Squid is coming out for the Atari Pen?

[pathosis]

I wonder if this pen is from a series of other video game pens...Very cool. For being an LCD game, everything moves rather fluid don't you think? Not like the calculator-like movements you see in old Game & Watch handhelds.

[boomstick545]

wow I've never heard of an atari pen, that's kinda cool

[Xevonarin]

Haha nice!

[sinistermoon]

I MUST HAVE ONE OF THOSE PENS!!! The ending shot of you writing on the tape was great! Way cool video man.

[delfmeek]

That's awesome. I might have to get me one of these babies for work.

[notyoursavior78]

ha very cool. I didn't know they made pens that played Atari Combat! Hell I'd buy it just to use as a main writing utensil. That would be well worth my six bucks! Now I have to think of what other old Atari games could translate to the pen format.

[MattTheSpratt]

Breakout?

[notyoursavior78]

That did come to my mind, but breakout is on cellphones so it wouldn't be quite as original though still in pen format, I'd buy that too.

[lostganado]

"that's f***ing awesome, this is the best pen i've ever had,"..."Joystick, Start, Fire, that's already more buttons than the Atari controller had," LOL! this is great, keep up the great (classic) reviews

[mutantcommunist]

school would've been a lot cooler..

*sigh*

[360deeman]

loving this

[thanksj]

First view!

PS Keep up the great work!
