Classic Game Room HD - ARMORED ENCOUNTER! for Magnavox

[Rasmusboy100]

Wow the tanks actully have shadows, revolutinary for gaming!

[deadlygroove1]

Combat 1977 for the VCS/2600 was released a year before Armored Encounter 1978 for the Odyssey 2.

[spiderjerusalem100]

I thought this was a video of 2 real tanks fighting untill i read the title.

[TheGriffin1988]

glad i was young during the 8 bit era not this horrible shit lol

[barbe00brune]

hehe 1:50

Sub chase ( press 1 tru 9)

Armnored encounter ( press a tru L ) XD

God I like the feel of old school consoles ;P

[twibkidx]

Come on! They get rid of kc munchkin and leave this!?!?!?

[Snotnarok]

@antonelaurentef

Really you ass faced spammer, I bet you did, was that before or after your account got suspended for being a SPAMMING jerkoff!

On topic, I love the reviews with these very old games. The manuals are always fun to read. "Handles like a real tank" Marks response was great.

[nutherefurlong]

No invisible tank pong, so... :)

[brandonwwemaster]

combat came out a year before armored encounter.

[Tryzon]

4:16 One of the earliest examples of Spawn-Raping.

It sadly persists to this day in multiplayer games.

[MasterOrHan1]

Classic game I used to have when I was a toddler.

[LiveToby]

do you stear the guided missiles your self, or is it like automatic`?

[Tryzon]

He explains that around 1:30

[jensbuhler]

If you couldnt tell, the bullets move when you rotate the tank...

[KAMPACX264]

this game is older than me

[Vkmies]

Is odyssey2 backwards compatible with odyssey 1 games?

[giggshenrik]

No. But you can download it on Magnavox Live Arcade.

[Vkmies]

Oh, thats good! One more question:Is the live free?

[giggshenrik]

If you buy the Magnavox Odyssey 2, with one the 3 games "Metal Gear Odyssey", "Atari vs. Magnavox 2" or "KC munchkin: Revived" you'll get it for free.

[Vkmies]

awesome! i hope i can find them on that "gamestop"-store. I guess they are cheap? like 60 bucks? I hope they sell headphones in there too!

[giggshenrik]

Gamestop will probably just ripp you off xD

KC munchkin: Revived is about 40 bucks, they can't sell it at any higher price because of the whole Pac-Man incident 25 years ago.

Atari vs. Magnavox 2 costs 60 bucks and Metal Gear Oddysey is $70. And then you get team-speak head/microphones. I think thats over at best buy =)

[giggshenrik]

I guess it was 30 years, not 25 =)

[Vkmies]

Ok, thanks! I hope there are no annoying kids at online there. Talking trash about my skills at KC munchkin! Why havent atari sued Magnavox yet? I mean of course atari vs. magnavox 2. Do you know how much "armored encounter 2500 turbo processor hyper edition 4" Costs?

[giggshenrik]

Yeah those kids suck =/ I just scar them for life with jokes about their mom =)

No, i don't. But probably around the same as Atari vs. Magnavox 2.

Because Magnavox put in two Magnavox codes in "KC Munchkin: Revived"

One to get Pac-Man, and one that gets you some sweet ass 4-bit porn xD

Not the konami code, no no. The mgnavox code :D

[Vkmies]

Is it the konami code reversed an with only one button?

[giggshenrik]

The keyboard my friend, the keyboard ;)

[Vkmies]

Oh god damnit im stupid! :)

[giggshenrik]

haha ;D

BTW, the Magnavox Motion Controll add-on is coming in late July :D

I Can't wait!!!!

[Vkmies]

Oh, awesome! I hope there's going to be new driving games so i can use my steering-wheel-add-on!

[giggshenrik]

Ah, you've gotten that already.

Nice!

[Vkmies]

Its pretty great with games like "Forza Gotham Turismo 5", but im just waiting for something a little more realistic to drive online. I just bought the dark night on bluray to watch on my odyssey 2 but i havent really had the time yet. I bet it looks awesome!

[giggshenrik]

oooh, sweet.

You know you can't go wrong with those Odyssey graphics.

Have you gotten "Donkey Kong Jr's Jr." yet?

It's pretty damn good ;o

[Vkmies]

I've tried it and i bet that motion control makes the game even more enjoyable than before!

[IggyHazard]

Holy cheeselogs! That box art is glorious! *explodes* There's something about that late '70s art style. It's distinctive and you don't see it anymore and that makes me cry inside. Attempting to emulate it usually results in fail unless the artist is savvy enough to make it lo0k truly authentic. Remember the Colecovision featured in the movie 'Firestarter'? XD

[icantwipemyownass]

hi can anyone tell me if they know anywhere i can get my magnavox oddessy2 repair see the system is ok it is just that the fire buttons on both the controllers are stiff as hell and im dying to get it restored to its full glory. by the way does anyone happen to have an atari 5200 they feel like selling on ebay

[jamstrat]

I had this game when I was a kid, good times.

[GameCommand]

"...Just like a real tank. uh, no. No it doesn't" lolz!

[hootyhaha]

5 Stars thanks for posting.  It amazes me that we had cool games in the late 70s other than pong.

[Ryoga2K]

"All while your tank spins in circles... just like a real tank" LOL.

I love this games, and the booklets and artwork are awesome, you have totally sold me on buying an Odissey 2 with your reviews, the only thing is that I really like the booklets and don't know how much chance there is to get the complete package of the games including the booklet from ebay, I guess it's somewhat more difficult that if you go to a retrogaming store, and there aren't any where I live.

[InecomCompany]

I got lucky with the booklets, I won a bulk lot on ebay and they came with booklets. I didn't even expect it! They rock and are the coolest instruction books ever. -CGRHD

[Nytezero]

"Your electronic tank is turned the same way" - No, its not. LOL

[ShoobyBugger]

Back in the early ninties, Mark was a hand model. It was a tough time in his college years; he had to do what he had to do.

Sweet video. In HD!

[sandro108]

First onh!! ;-)

[notyoursavior78]

Sh!t is this combat? First thing I thought. Honestly though there was a game for Intellivision (I think) well it was called Armored Ambush and it seemed good. I'd need to play it against a human to fully realize its potential.

It was released for the Atari 2600 though as one of those ugly black cartridges with the pointy front. I own it.

It's pretty wild like you control a team of tanks and fight two other tanks in randomly generated battle fields. You should check it out.

[notyoursavior78]

Bah it is just called Armor Ambush. It is one of those M-Network (ie.) Mattel black cart games.

[fieryfrets2000]

the only thing that would make this better are ninjas.....wtf?

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[rx389]

where do u get the old game systems

[Sisound]

you can get them off ebay, amazon, or local game stores.

[RunandGunPictures]

Gaming cons, Ebay, Chase the Chuck wagon, actually PAX had quite a few, in fact they had an Odessey 2 there with a bunch of games for $30 :P

[FalconNeko]

you need to be super stupid to drive into them land mines

[delfmeek]

Awesome... the Odyssey 2 reviews are back :)

One thing I did notice was that you could go in reverse while firing, which is a nice addition over Combat. But, overall, I think Combat is the clear winner.

Remember, now that you have played ARMORED ENCOUNTER! you are now certified to drive a real tank. Afterall, as the manual stated, it drives just like the real thing!

[lukeyluke121]

all i watched for near enough all the video is watch a guy read a manual which wasnt that interesting other than that all the other vids r good

[BoldNewTradition]

Love those manuals!! :)

[friken0frank]

why did you take off the video?

[black33na]

thats whats up

[Retrogamer71]

Its a tough call between armoured

encounter and call of duty 5 this

christmas :)

[InecomCompany]

Armored Encounter comes with Sub Chase on the same cartridge, COD5 does not. Also, Call of Duty does not have guided missiles or a handle to carry the game around! -CGRHD

[LimeMiiQ]

@InecomCompany COD5 has zombies, explosions and FLAMETHROWERS!!!!

[fook123]

Odyssey in HD = Win

[theking21083]

I would like to note that Combat doesn't have a reverse so Armored Encounter does have that going for it. Good job on the Odyssey 2 video Mark.

[mrgamer1]

Awesome review

[uglypinkmoose]

i have combat :P

[callmemarc]

awesome graphics!

[MetalGearMad]

cool

[manofiorn]

nice review

[PearlJammer07]

Whoops. I meant the Wii Play tank game was similar to Armored Encounter. Nice review keep them coming!

[PearlJammer07]

First comment and view. There is a tank game on Wii Play or one of those discs. The game is similar to combat.

[TenguGuy]

3rd comment, dude.

[PearlJammer07]

For some reason my computer showed 0 comments at the time. I guess it was an error with youtube at the time. I should not have got those thumbs down ASSHOLES!

[MAJOR892]
