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.
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.
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. :/
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.
@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!
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.
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
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
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!!
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.
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
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.
u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
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
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)
