Classic Game Room HD - WEB WARS for Vectrex review

[Ortej331]

Turn off the lights and make it full screen, it looks like you're traversing space at a ridiculously low speed.

[Alaska1925]

LOL looks a like a fusion of TEMPEST and SPACE INVADERS :D

[Ortej331]

@Alaska1925 beat me to it

[SoloKazama]

i would kill for that game. i had xl/xe but i sooooooooo would to have vectrex + THIS game. and it got wings!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

I thought this game would be about the Internet.

[RonTheRectum]

YEAH! WebWars is ill!

[uwright22]

pokemon ripped this game off instead were using magual pokeballs on this we just stab them with a stick

[AndarilhoMarco]

It would be cool if they had developed other generations of this system.

[kinmanyuen]

its so cool how the vectex simulate 3D with lines... they could have made a "hyperzone" like game.

[illustriouschin]

I love how smooth the movement is on the Vectrex and the overlays actually look nice with this game. In the very unlikely event that I have the opportunity to buy a Vectrex I'll definitely take it, along with this game.

[chocolatedestroyer01]

The Hawk-King looks like a regular hawk.

The Cosmic-Dragon, looks like a overly large hawk.

[Kennyrules101]

looks fun! i'll have to get scramble,berserk,hyper chase,and this game for my vectrex! only problem is that i always get out bidded on ebay hum...

[MrFun21211]

mmmm.... Spaceinvaders



[TheSmidgett]

My favorite phrase by Mark, "My portable console is the vectrex. You go into a restraunt and pull that out and every looks at you.....because of how cool you are!"

[MrStigable]

If your a hawk, what are you firing?

[ArsonistInUrFirewall]

@MrStigable

Hawk eggs of course. ^^



[ArsonistInUrFirewall]

@MrStigable

Or maybe hawk shit.

[Theblargen]

all hail Vectrex...

[coca64]

This game have trophies O.o I want the Vectrex to get platinum trophies

[Darrylb500]

Yeah the modified Genesis controller will work on reportedly 95% of all Vectrex games, so having it work on this one is a given.

Thanks for the 'taste like Space Invaders' tip, now I don't have to wonder about that any more ;)

[classof77]

"They taste like Space Invaders."

[uglylikesin]

I love the style of graphics the vetrex offers, I may not be HD but it has a really awesome feel and apperance. :D

[concretespecial]

They seriously need to re-release the Vectrex! Great review CGR! The visuals on this game are incredible. I think the Vectrex was way ahead of its time.

[dennyaaa]

I want a bug with a tophat too :(

[oldscool75]

This is where XBox got the idea for there achievements...awesome game!!!

[daddyjankie]

I Like Owning Nubes Online On X-box Live On This Game!!!!

By The Way You Are A Major Celebrity ...In Mexico Haha!!...No,Just Kidding.Your Not.

[leocana]

"You impale your creatures on the capture rod, and then grill later - like a shshkabbah (or whatever) - put some peppers and tomatoes on there... they're good, they taste like space invaders" Damn, Mark... Don't make me laugh out that loud. It's late at night, for Atari's sake. Brazil loves you, dude. XD

[MAT0R0]

Cool, its 3D like when the camera moves like that. Woooaaahh!!! Shooting stuff! Whoooaaah!!!! There needs to be a vectrex 2! Can you imagine? The graphics would be intense if there was like that today!

[WebVMan]

Tempest? Gyruss? Looks more like Sonic 2's bonus stages to me.

[RebelTaxi99]

Looks like the  bonus stage to Sonic 2

[jigglemaster7]

the vectrex looks like a pnis that had babbyy and died and pooped!!!

[pengywengyman]

@jigglemaster7 with a name like "jigglemaster", I don't think anyone would agree with you, like me. Plus your grammar is terrible, learn some new words then go hate on some console that can't own you with it's overlays!

[PsiTaylor1337]

@jigglemaster7 i lold at how unfunny that was

[notyoursavior78]

Awesome looking game, I love that trophy room.

[andersdenkend]

Wow, awesome graphics. Love it.

[bluesgurugod]

Watching this makes me feel like I entered the 2001 monolith...

[rejectofsoul24]

@bluesgurugod you mean the world trade center?

[Spudinnsky]

I Love Vectrex!!! The Visuals are just so impressively awesome!!!

[romeoteknik]

Will you be reviewing the Game Room on the 360 since you love retro games?

[DAudIcI]

Wow, that story really made me enthusiastic about the game. Now I've gotta capture 'em all!!

[CheapBeer09]

gotta love that stock music!!

[BillyCauseyjr]

what happens if you try to play Vectrex without an overlay? does the game not work or does it play without the added info.

[tlalotoani]

Vectrex looks very nice

[downphoenix]

Im loving these Vector based graphics, they need to bring this back on XBOX Live or something.

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

Those graphics are still captivating today. Beautiful in their own way.

[mariokiller55]

Its way ahead of its time as it looks because, all of the stuff that's going on on the screen is pretty smooth and is all blue (i love the blue coloring) and the games kick ass!

[Combineartist]

the graphics are really good in this

[mattfanv1]

i still want one

[patchcope]

This game reminds me of the WiiWare game "Gyrostarr."

[pgf95]

this game looks kinda fun

[wwedbzfan2000]

I am going to make the Vectrex 2....Whenever I learn how to make it, it WILL exist! Vectrex 2, coming in 2044!

[LPBESSTBAND95]

im gald im wathing his videos, because i never new all this consols^^

[nightmathzombieethan]

So, is the "Hawk King" named Stephen?

[PhillyBlunt6988]

@nightmathzombieethan Ughhh.....

[phynyte]

@nightmathzombieethan nah its DR 8Ball... but i could be wrong lol

[KilleRotom]

@nightmathzombieethan No, because he is not in a wheelchair

[JackSparrow424]

whats with the squirl with the red eyes in the beginning of the video

[lintonthepenguin]

Yeah, Vectrex is the real deal. Although as far as current-gen goes, nothing beats a gaming PC.

[youtubasoarus]

That looks pretty amazing for way back in 1983. Awesome review as well.

[Pootie88]

cool graphics

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

This game reminds of that old Star wars arcade game.

[FedorCHESS3000]

the name WEBWARS reminds me of my life and my internet battles. ¬¬

[onoff456]

"They taste like Space Invaders."

[TKnightcrawler]

In your last review I said this game looks awesome, and it is!

[NightbladeEagle]

I've got to say seeing this really want me to play it.

[Infinitrium]

Interesting take on Tempest..

[Diis45]

my eyes hurt from watching a game like this

[plurp7]

it IS a bug wearing a Top Hat.

thanks for posting Mark, you're brilliant!

[classof77]

"WEB WARS IS ILL"

[Ashanmaril]

It reminds me of the sonic 2 special stage. I keep expecting him to do a big loop in the half-pipe. lol

[dong2512]

It sounds like the story designers were on some very hard shits when they wrote the story.

One guy: "Dude! We should totally make this game where you are like this Hawk King guy who shoots laser beams and lives in this "Fantasy Web" place and he goes around dodging the Cosmic Dragon to capture the magical space creatures to put in his trophy room!"

Other Guy: "How about he captures those animals by penetrating them with his "Capture Rod"!

*Giggles and starts making WebWars.

[preziam]

You are the coolest vid game nut i have ever seen! I love your collection of games! keep up the good work man!

[darthrevan6]

Its like Tempest... but cut in a half :P

[codebreakerboyz1795]

how do u have time to make & UPLOAD VIDS OF GAMES MADE IN THE 80ds most of them r the exact same ur tryn 2 shoot sumn i would like more modern reviews get over the 80s & move on 2 the 90s then the 00 then the 10

[CommodoreKulor]

@codebreakerboyz1795 Most '80s games are the exact same 'cuz you're trying to shoot something?

Have you seen the amount of FPSes they pump out today?

[pookieizzy7]

I see this and I see both

[TheLaloloco24]

wow, i want to buy a vectrex now.

[FAX420]

It looks like tempest...

[southpaw8123]

"They taste like Space Invaders" WTF! LOLLLLOLLLL I love this guy.

[Ketorulz]

VECTREX ACHIEVEMENTS/TROPHIES!

[Torqegood]

Thought you liked the vectrex, saying this is the best.

[Torqegood]

Thought you liked the vectrex, saying this is the best.

[FortuneNeko]

hi everyone

[FortuneNeko]

'the best part of losing a game of webwars is that you can start it again' are u kiddin? xD

[popeye190]

Did youtube just redesign again?

[mikepalomino]

Mark is a better man than me. There's no way I would have been able to do this review and talk about a "capture rod" without succumbing to a dick joke or two.

[ShadowFlarer]

OMG your face, locks fat =/

[MarioWars]

I have a Vectrex and DO WANT!!

[Mycatisbigfoot]

@nairbzaid wii is not for pussys but for hackers, and stupid chicks

[eyesofnova]

@nairbzaid I never was man enough for it. I picked it up once and told me I was a bitch ass and to put this system down little girl. I cried..

[SailorMan69]

@nairbzaid Really convincing coming from a person whom probably has never seen a Vectrex and plays with a "Fingerboard."

[nairbzaid]

@SailorMan69

1. Its a joke.

2. I haven't fingerboarded in a long time and its just a hobby like playing video games.

Calm down, you took me to serious.

[haloalldaylo]

@nairbzaid damn I knew I was a pussy!! but I did play a Vectrex b4 does that kinda cancel it out?

[khanio1]

@nairbzaid ok, so i take it a black and white tv is also for real men and lcd or LED screens are for pussys too?

[jiltedkiller]

@nairbzaid

Vectrex Fanboys? Manliness in video games consoles? FAGGOTRY!

[player21xk]

that thing looks like it will give u a sesure really quick

[hellboy0o]

xD web wars is ill!!

[Agentgamester3]

i was trying to talk to you on ps3 wile you where making this video you didn't talk back

[aloh000]

definietly the best game on the vectrex

[shirtlesszigfee]

Damn those vecter graphics are so sexy! (by that I mean THEY KICK ASS)

[WARPUDDY666]

good vid it looks like a trippy game

[TheW0rldsGame]

@WARPUDDY666 No duh

[techcrazyguy]

you should have the vectrex startup noise as your sms text alert since you love it so much lol.

[TheGreatRicardo]

I thought it was about INTERNET wars.

[DariusDaGreat86]

HAHA sheesh kebabs XD

[OldVikingSchool]

Is it possible to overclock a vectrex? A higher fps on this suckah would be really nasty comparing to daily 3d titles.

[nicosamur]

cooooooooolllllll iwant it!!!!!!

[curiouscolt81]

Hello mr, dude that hosts these videos. Check out xbox live game room. It has classic arcade rooms like asteroids, tempest and yars revenge.

[rich0319726]

This game reminds me of Tempest.

[flashevolution]

@rich0319726 ya he said that

[rich0319726]

@flashevolution Oh, OK. I didn't know that. I got bored and didn't watch the whole clip. Thanks for mentioning. From now on I'll watch the entire video if I think I may comment.

[averagegilo]

Thats a pretty damned good game

[RTSgameVideos]

How could you play anything like that, it makes me feel ill watching this video.

[TheMetroidMurderer]

I wish i had a vectrex :'(

[masterfox3000]

Im tripping baaaaaaaaaaaaaaalls

[RareAspie]

Was the Vectrex expensive in it's day?

[GamingPalooza]

PS3 and Vectrex rule

[JIM4741return]

@GamingPalooza youre half right...

ps3=SHIT vectrex=AWESOME

[GamingPalooza]

@JIM4741return

The Vectrex is quite an awesome console within it self.

The PS3 on the other hand, is also quite an awesome console. I am not sure why you would call it shit, unless you are one of those crazy "die hard 360" fanboys. I give 360 a certain amount of respect, however, when it comes to being a piece of shit, that's exactly what the 360 console actually is because the failure rate is up there pretty high. I'll be playing the PS3 for a long time, while the 360 fails by it self.

[JIM4741return]

@GamingPalooza non im not realy a fanboy of anything (exept maybe the pokemon video games... im trying to handle that...) i would like a 360 though... but right now i have a wii... i have a ps2 which is badass but ive played the ps3 and its just an overpriced ps2 wanabee. kinda like the atari 2800 (japan only) i can see youre not a sony fanboy so thats good :)

[GamingPalooza]

@JIM4741return

my favorite console, in my collection, at the moment is the Japanese Sega Saturn. I do have a first model PS1. I have the first XBOX and I did have the 360 also... I have a problem with Microsoft consoles relatively speaking because with the first XBOX, the DVD drive has major issues reading some discs. The 360 has major issues period, good games but it's just a piece of shit of a console hardware-wise. It breaks by it self.

[JIM4741return]

@GamingPalooza

for me it wud hav 2 b my gameboy light (hell to find one) or my ds1 or my PSX (hell to find that 1 too but the gameboy light was harder 2 find)

[KGA7771]

hah nice game "man"

[milkmanjpimps]

god I hate to admit it but, I FREAKING LOVE THE VECTREX!!!!!!

[ApocalypseNow012]

vectrex is a peice of shit, why review what noones gonna play ever again

[DXSnakeEaterishacked]

@ApocalypseNow012 You're kidding right? I'd play it if I could.

[DXSnakeEaterishacked]

@ApocalypseNow012 Why bash dude? Why? You can still play this and have a life.

[MasterRater27]

@ApocalypseNow012 CLASSIC Game Room, derp

[Skimaskkass]

@ApocalypseNow012 Really? Are you like 12?

[HipHopJun]

@ApocalypseNow012 You seen the trailer for Apocalypse Meow?

[RetroGamerVX]

I've seen web wars before, I love the vector graphics on this, amazing, great review :o) You get such a feeling of depth to the 3d on this :o)

[AfroedNinja]

I want a vectrex. Maybe in the next life, if I'm lucky.

Good review!!

[UgIzZz]

@AfroedNinja Pff... Lucky you. Budha said that I will be an ant in my next life.

[AfroedNinja]

@UgIzZz

Well, Ants like the Vectrex don't they?? If not, they're tards!! :))

Budha told me that my farts were going to smell like toast!!! D:

[GamingPhysicist]

[Darkbeatdk]

Ah. This is from the good old days where games were made by hippies in their basement instead of cold and cynical marketing people from Activision.

[lektrum]
