Dr. Ashen and Gizmodo Reviews The Gamespower 50

[iopkluj123]

I came here for Dr. Ashen!

My wish came true :D

[kjw21411]

The title should say "Dr. Ashen and Gizmodo REVIEW", not "reviews".

[tobitobide]

@kjw21411 You posted this under every single video? Wow.

And also, no.

It means something along the lines of "It is a series of their REVIEWS"

[kjw21411]

@tobitobide Well, then it should have a colon after the word "reviews", like this :

[iTat1000]

@kjw21411 Why are you grammar trolling Dr. Ashens. Go back to your cave!

[SNESIvan]

I don't know if Ashens said it, but this is a nes hardware clone. I didn't watch it 'till the end, this thing is awful.

[QullVideo]

This is one of the few things that Ashens has reviewed that would actully want. It's very compact and just a little bit of fun when your Gameboys and Playstations get boring.

[DragonHeart00926]

@CarryLarry

Yes. Let's all do that then…no, seriously, were d'u wanna meet up???

[CarryLarry]

A nice little bag to hide my drugs in~

[TeeRowSax]

haha 5:47

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

I remember a lot of those games.

[stickman070791]

I bought one of these a couple of years ago a a game store.....scarred for life....

[RobotwarsKing]

Am I the only one who is reminded of "Wario's Woods" upon seeing Dangerous Zone?

[gtvnetwork]

Danger zone, a poor mans stack attack

[Rogue0DK]

Why havent this video been uploaded to Ashens own channel?? It's the only thing he does well, (that I know of). Not that anyone cares since this video is well over 3 years old... Oh well.

[RudojiLape]

Apparently Mr. Devito made 17 YouTube accounts just to vote this video-- Oh man, I'm sorry people. That joke's so stale.

[CeruleanFalcon]

Aww.. that's a bit harsh on Devito..

Ironically, my mum's watching a movie with him in it in the other room right now...

[ZeroCashProductions]

DreamGear put this out in America as a Plug'N'Play item you plug right in to the TV and play. It looks like a Dreamcast controller, solid black, with not enough buttons. Some of the games are different, it doesn't have Bob Shop or Dangerous Zone. The names seem to be different so I can only assume the games are not ALL the same but it's pretty much the same item for a different region and in a different package. :/

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

WOW! my friend had the grass cutter game on one of those plug and play systems!

[aaronemem]

how does this have anything to do with gizmodo?

[TRRProductions09]

"A bit outdated and nobody really cares about it anymore."

This is the first time in my life that I've wanted to give a bit of videogame tat a hug.

[metalsnake27]

Rip off of action 52 XD

[runnlikehell3]

condom

[PwNAd1L]

copied from ashens

[ipodceiling]

@PwNAd1L This is ashens... but posted on Giz

[fujifilmtest]

Does anyone know where I can get one of these IN THE UK or something similar?

[useless1997]

@fujifilmtest

Well, here in Germany you can find them sometimes in Bookshops (Weltbild). But a while ago (one or two years) there was an Sega Handheld thing like this avaiable at Aldi or Lidl. Maybe they selled them somewhere in the UK, too.

Maybe you should check ebay.

[fujifilmtest]

@useless1997 thanks for the useful (lol) info! i've looked and looked and can't find the gamespower 50, all i found was the vg pocket from america which is quite expensive since it has to be shipped all the way to the uk. the sega megadrive handheld is still being sold, i was considering it as an alternative but i've found a handheld n.e.s. one which also has a camera, video and mp3 player, on ebay with a slide-out form factor :-) i'll get that!

[angelpichu1]

"that means that bob is both a jedi and a cyborg..."

my fav part i couldn't stop laughing (of course i'm really tired and that makes me laugh too)

[thevisualboy37]

Oh my GOD! My friend had a TV-only version of this!

And it was awesome! This video is the closest I've come to seeing these games again; thank you, Dr. Ashen!

...Okay, yes, the TV-only version was tat as well.

[chosentonessournotes]

This actually looks awesome!

[doodoo675]

Now it looks a bit like what happened when Mr. Game Gear met Ms. Game Boy Advance and they had a very good time and they didn't use a condom. I always loved that line.

[Yelkwood9]

ashens is the only sell-out who i don't hate for it.

[SonySasuke]

4:35 is like the thing at the beginning of tech dump episodes

[SonySasuke]

i'm gonna guess mr. game&gear and ms. gameboy advance had a great time without a condom

[qqw52]

drug hiding bag huh? fun

[Zeronightshade14]

I have a worse collection, and it's made by panasonic, I may have to send ashens it

[Snotnarok]

@Zeronightshade14 Send it, it's always fun to watch him trash things. Verbally of course.

[RoarkyRaw]

wow and actual game that has color!

Wonderful.

[NA3LKER]

when my new school was built (abbeywood), we all got abbeywood lanyards. i was pissing myself.

[xIDANIIEL]

@SpaceOz08 Same here.

[SpaceOz08]

That console is made by logic3 and I'm watching this vid from my itouch with a logic3 case, coincidence? I THINK NOT!

[AlexSpalex1]

"Grass Cutter" reminds me of a ZX Spectrum game called "Advanced Lawnmower Simulator".

[wisteela]

@AlexSpalex1 Same here.

[Pokemeister1202]

"ball clash, sounds painful, ball mania, sounds treatable" LMAO

[kroen]

Hell, at least it has actual graphics, unlike the pop stations

[coolgamer1677]

The first ashens video I ever saw. really should be on his channel.

[wisteela]

Hmm, not bad little thing. I'd actually get one.

[THEPANTSWEREDEAD]

I lol'd at the BOB SHOP part.

[LLawleit23days]

sounds like Tetris mixed with FF

[zero87mx]

I love internet magic :)

[ceddimo]

Wow... Ashens im going to use your game gear gameboy reference to explain sex to my kids :d

[brainbash1]

lol english spelt wrong the fake rip off companies thought we will be laughed at no more

[psychonaut25]

much better that those shitty POP stations and PCP Stations

[Pokemeister1202]

@psychonaut25 dont you mean PCP Siaion XD

[xxNailFirexx]

i actually hav a plug-and-play version of this, it's a purple controller with the yellow &white AV cables

[illustriouschin]

wow the quality of this device is shocking

[LtSurge659]

Jedi Cyborg!

[spacewesterns]

Brilliant!

[NA3LKER]

where could i get a gamespower 50?

[ResurrectedTemplar]

LOL, digital equivalent of Danny DeVito.

[Zeronightshade14]

Believe it or not, this is actually tons better than the game collection i got for my portable dvd player, i hated it so much that i got a ton of adapters and hooked up my ps2 to it, heheh

[mrsnubeh]

Now if only it had two more games built in,the name change and less then half the games work... Of corse im refering to action 52

[Habbloxian]

It's not Chinese, it's Logic3, an English company.

[ipodceiling]

wait, so that block game, it's like tetris.... but shit?

[MrFreakaccident]

You're so mean to Danny DeVito!

[MaskOfInsane]

in all honesty, it looks mildly fun. The company might actually make money if they fix the screen/joypad.

(The flickery sprites? Now that's asking far too much.)

[AboyBboy]

The man on the jet ski is ripped off of wave race.

[THERANGERNICK]

That grass cutting game is on a similar product that I sadly own.

[KingBuFird]

the logo's in the gamechoice screen looks like dingooooo's logo ;)

[Phoenix1251]

666 Ratings 0_o

[goopysoupmonkey]

woo i got 666th rating!!!

[ThisBeMyGuy]

"Basically, you control a man with the worst job in the world."

Main character is Dr. Ashens?

Sitting through all those popstations and trying to play them is the worst job i can imagine...

[feh2]

@ThisBeMyGuy

Atleast it's got more quality than a regular popstation. I mean atleast it's not street fighter (the popstation one) or something.

[andophiroxia]

I thought he was completely BSing when he talked about the bird game....

Then it was really serious. I was thinking WTF were they smoking or dropping when they made some of these games.

[mojopotato1]

haha "collect eggs and avoid terds,a bit like shopping in the dairy section of the local supermarket" ,this guy should have his own tv show or something, hes genius

[firefists55]

Oh man, I have played the lawn mowing game on another TV games thing before...

[nukeboy14]

man , this is miles ahead of all the crap Ashens has reviewed , i would sure buy this if i had the choice to buy this or the popstation ,

[coolgamer1677]

I want to see more of the games on this...

[carlbot2000]

it's a waste of the planet

[frickfrock999]

"Ball Clash....sounds painful"

"Ball Mania....sounds treatable."

Genius.

[jorgetg2828]

1:53 GRADIUS (Nemesis) RIPOFF!!!!

[dylanyoder23]

i nice littlle bag to hide ur drugs in lol

[Jack2009cool]

Con-Dom.

[Ipfree549]

wow I'd buy this then a popstation!

[Zephanus]

That "Dangerous Zone" game is quite cool. Original take on the horizontal-lines-exit-reality-­when-long-enough-and-give-you-­points genre.

[PSXDubai1]

ashens and another reviewer brill this made my day

[Douche081]

Does anyone else think that it looks more like a psp??

[viomartyr]

"Ball Clash... sounds painful."

this line always cracks me up XD

[gavain788]

where can I buy one of these in USD

[classicmacintosh]

Anyone else having excessive video encoder artifacts

corruptions in the first minute or so or is it just my computer?

[gavain788]

Yep my screen wigs out a little.

[Dangoxs]

why are you hiding from us ashens?

do you really think we wouldn't find you?

lol

old vid, crappy graphics

nice content

fair enough

[ghostmabel]

lol its ashens couch i gutta watch!

[thingforvids]

who made this.  Because at 2:58 the guy in green gives the hitler hail

[senior1038]

it looks like a psp and a gameboy advance had a baby

[SQUIZZLER24]

Less of a baby, more of a horrific mutant bastard child.

[HotRide182]

Doc, Tweeterman287 did review a diffrent handheld with "Aero Engine" as one of the games!

[MasterPipo]

Bob is a Jedi and an Android!! LOL

[MikeG506]

therefore he is a forced to be reckoned with, this guys hilarious

[CannonBolt112]

BOB = GOD

[canadadiabolo]

BOB

BOG

GOB

GOD

=O

[DarkeRaven09]

I saw a differently named version of that sold at Radio Shack. Didn't invest in reviewing that though... probably a good decision on my part now that I'm watching this.

Bob Shop - Originally a mini game for NARC?

Grass Cutter - I have a hard enough time motivating myself to cut the REAL grass, forget video game grass!!

[juiced2death]

lol bob shop is really dangerous it might be a drug store lol

[mambabg]

yeah, drug covered with toilet paper, it sure is creepy

[numetla]

it more looks like a creepy psp rape

[72Adam27]

Collect eggs and avoid turds,  a bit like shopping at the dairy section in my local supermarket XD

[AMD889]

i have one of these but its some remote with the games built in. the game with the bird the eggs and turds is in it. i was very confused when i played it.

[styxman09]

Danny DeVito lol

[bocherrini]

Also, if I had this, I would take the screen and speakers out and try to make something out of it.

[bocherrini]

Lol lol lol lol lol lol, lol lol lol, lol lol lol, lol lol lol lol lol lol lol, lol lol lol, lol (to the tune of the "You has winned a battle" tune from Pokemon yellow.

Also, Logic3 make crappy PS2 controllers.

[paranoidude]

lol stupid gameboy not using a condom!!

[RunnerofJoe]

hahaha, dr.ashen and his lanyards lol

[yourname129]

:) smile

[MWProductionsOnline]

jedi and cyborg:rofl classic ashens

[MrVengful]

lol bob the jedi and sibrog drug dealer

[IYFGames712]

Dang I want this now! It sounds cool and time consuming. I especially like the Wave Race 64 man on the turnon screen, and Bob Shop.

[purplehaze007]

i care about danny devito >:(

[neilhockeypro]

Cyborg and a Jedi, very dangerous.

[Gomess]

Huh, WaveRace 64 (jetski guy). Never thought I'd see that again.

[azngirlchibi]

... Oh, the price for the stuff in Bob's Shop is at least 100 each because it's in Yen. XD

[Garrickss]

400th comment

[Psychomonkey14]

ball clash  that sounds painful

[makairu]

Hahaha Bob shop

[Slashpython]

bob is both a jedi and a cyborg XDDDDDDDDDDDD

[MrVersipellis]

Looks rather good.

[KingFluffs]

Lol they had a very good time and didnt use a condom! Class

[TheMVRules]

Better than an POPstation.

[greenballa43]

what does that even mean???

[RedlineM203]

It's a station for your fizzy pop.

OK, not really, but it's still just as useless.

[lazirusien]

I like lanyards...

I put them on my digimon v-pets XD

[stanleyopar2000]

birdy nest!!!...

I SAW THIS REAL GAME SOMEWHERE o_o

[psween64yo]

that would be so fun to play on the tv

[griffin7564]

that thing looks fun :P

[reel2real5]

hes right the only thing ive ever use a lanyard on any thing apart from my wii and my keys and in that bob shop thing were is his shop i could use that its so much cheaper than my local shop

[SethiXzon]

Definatally has better graphics than usual.

[MLXrox]

Bob is both a Jedi, and a cyborg. LMAO

[homestar92]

Lol at Bob being both a jedi and a robot

[Robo175]

rofl "ball clash" "that sounds painful"

[jasonjaso123]

2:54 YAY

[TheBanjoFanboy]

Really glitchy footage, but pretty good

[MistaX8]

I've watched this vid before, and that glitchy "tiling" wasn't there. I think it has to do with Youtube.

[Sakotius]

No this is a downloaded video re-uploaded with terrible codecs. Flawed video basically

[ccricers]

Ashens should review Action 52 next.

[diosoth]

These are branded in the USA as "VG Pocket" and apparently still being made. I picked up a 50 game model for $10 today at a Gamestop out of curiosity. It has 3 licensed games and decent 16-bit graphics in all the games. I apparently bought the "caplet" model. It didn't include batteries or a TV cable, though.

There's apparently some VG Pocket models out with licensed copies of Castlevania in them.

[Pickledeggs3000]

Why does the good Dr do videos just for you?

[joosep]

the gamespower looks a bit like the psp

[spartan2401343]

agreed

[swadq1]

Nice, it's made by the same people who make the rip-off xbox controllers. :P

[TerraSol18]

U aren't kiding about no more popstations

[chrishove123]

Is a jetski something for russians in the winter olympics

[nadesicoprince]

that handheld looks awesome

[Jordey24]

i have it. its fun,battery life is good,so why not?its not too bad really

[biggerthanlife01]

aero engine is a top down shoter on the moto games one my mum bought me when i was 8...

it was fun but this was NOT made by gizmodo

it was just a cvonversion of it because the top down one(which is this one flipped sideways)

has up if you pull the trigger on the bike... no that was shooting... it was pull the throttle to go up! well it was a ripoff of it but i forgot the name of the original

[SonySasuke]

can someone help i try to post a comment but the post comment button stays the same please help[

[KyaputenHarokku]

This looks and sounds like it's technically a NES with original games. The games look like they're made by Sachen.

[Ramenzz]

Wow, this one is pretty decent. Aero Engine looks pretty fun.

[DixieHB]

Can't listen without laughing at "Basically, you control a chap with the worst job in the world" XD

[felixbuzz]

i want one

[kie188]

Vintage Ashens, classic.

[xtremefxguitar]

THE GAME "BALL CLASH" how painful lol

[Mrgyn]

AND THEN GOD SAID:

Bob is a force to be reckoned with.

Bob is a very strange and dangerous character indeed.

[blueprotoman08]

I've had one of these before. Not sure what happened to it.

[WithTheDmeister]

this isn't that bad.I'd actually play this.

[paulspydar]

whats the RRP?

[UltraJackhammer]

That game Dangerous Zone,reminds me of a game I've played in a SIEMENS cellphone(SIEMENS A71),called StackAttack

[DeadFredVideo]

Oh yeah! I remember that, good game :D

[UltraJackhammer]

Yeah,that game was and still is awesome.I still have that cellphone,sometimes I play that game(because I've beaten every single Java game I have in my NOKIA XD)

[Mrgyn]

CON (ARTIST) DOM (DUMB)

[Mrgyn]

British people say Condom with such charm!

"Con-DAM."

[Aden12354]

I say condom, and in british, i thought that was american pronouciation

[Mrgyn]

Aden12354:

The North American English pronounciation of "Condom" is "CON" (As in a Con artist) and DUM (as in Dumb and Dumber.)

[SamoIsKing]

I pronounce it as its spelt. As in Con (con artist) and Dom (DOMinic). That children, is called correct english.

[NathanDanielMaskel]

doesnt look that bad, i wouldnt mind one if it was cheap

[misterlaufeyson]

oh wow, the return of advanced lawnmower simulator!

[HeshamUchia]

looks more like 16bit

[Lorak090]

Ball clash!

Sounds painful.

¡ǝuo ǝɔıu

nice one!

[drunkarag]

how did you make the letters upsiddown?
