Classic Game Room HD - STAR TREK for Vectrex review

[LtDanw]

nice graphics for such a console.

[SchlossRitter]

I've only seen ST:TMP maybe once but more likely not at all. Considering that I'm a fan of the franchise, me never making the effort to sit through it probably says a lot.

Hm, with the focus on Star Wars like action, this reminds me more of the ST reboot movie, which also happens to feature a black hole, heh.

Wrath of Khan was so overplayed on TV in the 80s & 90s that I got sick of it.

You can shoot down torpedoes for points instead of using shields, by the way.

Nice Spaceballs reference.

[BackyardEpicMovies]

This review pretty much sums up everything I love about Classic Game Room.

[gillianorley]

VGER was a Vetrex machine that Mark launched into deep space. It was found by a machine-race who armed it and sent it back to Earth to destroy us all.

[lifeisbeechy]

Get Michael Bay to direct, that would be even better (worse?) than Cameron!

[tailream666]

sooooooooo briiiiiiigggghhhhtttt 

[Fyllis]

I think I'm in love with Mark. Mechagodzilla and Star Trek combined must be one of the best ideas ever.

[RawHunterX]

Only Lord Karnage could have come from talking about Star Trek to Mecha Godzila! He's a GENIUS!

[clckwrk714714]

Star Trek vs Star Wars vs Godzilla drinking beer for Vectrex

[BoingotheClown]

I strongly suspect that this game was originally made as another space fighter game, but then converted after the Star Trek license was obtained.

[iNils1]

Vectrex=1981 3DS

[tembwbam99]

You are SO right, Mark, Star Trek IV IS a masterpiece!

[Kirk20001]

V’GER!!!!!!!! :-D

[psychoclown420]

the vetrex is so awesome. it's like 3d graphics ;D

[rockerzac99]

or, start trek 7: the wrath ov mecha godzilla, WHIT FLAMETHROWERS

[WeAreDevo456]

I'd like to see a Star Trek game that could easily rival Knights Of The Old Republic. Perhaps one of the major top game companies are up to the job?

[Eldejot]

@WeAreDevo456 No they aren't. I wish they were ;s Star Trek Online tried and failed spectacularly and there's not much on the horizon.

[insanecuber28]

which is kinda what happend at the end of the movie, what the hell what that movie about?!?!?!? hhaha

[RandomProduct]

This review could've been about 1 minute long. But it's 9. Why? Because Mark went on his amazing rants again. The rants I have grown to love. The game itself became a mindless color in the background as Mark told us about his idea for the greatest Sci-Fi movie ever. This is why we love Mark.

[Lugmillord]

@RandomProduct What? But... but... it's the Vectrex! It's always important :(

[wlmason73]

Hahaha at 7:53 "Shields!! Scotty!" I missed that the first couple times I watched this. Actually, now that I'm listening to this with headphones I can hear Mark in the background a few times in this video.

[GonchyT]

See, this is why I love Classic Game Room. Come for the video game reviews - Stay for the bizarre ramblings about Star Trek 7: Wrath of Mechagodzilla.

[antdude]

LOL at the end!!

[DAMitOsabA]

haha the flamethrower...spaceballs any1?

[latkeeeeeeee]

weawefawefawef

[skeletal13]

It was a long-winded review, but man, you really started hitting the nail on the head in the middle! LOL!

[Agent1W]

I remember AVGN's review of this game. He didn't like the annoying buzzing sound.

But thanks, CGR, for showing a more in-depth review.

[cessnaace]

Now THAT too would be a cool game for the Vectrex Mark. Spaceballs: The Vectrex Game! :)

STAY AWESOME! :)

[xUNCtarheelx]

Star Trek the Motion Picture the Video Game the Flame Thrower the Lunchbox?

[STERNrogering]

your not cool, unless you have a vectrex.

[rynoboy007]

@DestinyHeroFlamer

I'm not reading all of that crap you typed out. Sum it up in three words or less.

[DestinyHeroFlamer]

@rynoboy007, OK, but is it really THAT tedious to read a comment? Summary: Console. Wars. Suck

[KensanOni]

I love Star Trek IV myself. It's the best of the films. I don't care what anyone says.

[DaveTheSodaGuy0]

aw, too bad u don't get to throw counselor troi between worf and commander ryker here

[n00berania]

I'm not a Star Trek fan so I don't know what he's talking about, but the game looks really cool.

[MagFlare]

Vectrex rules.

And don't worry. Paramount's made it clear that the new Trek movie occurs in a separate continuity that doesn't overwrite the old one. After all, they want people to buy the Trek MMO, which is set in the old universe.

[phunkadellicphilsabi]

I heard that you have to be a robot to complete any Vectrex game.

[smashbrosfan25]

star wars meets star trek that would be interesting captian kirk would have to become a jedi now that would be cool.

[infringementMAN]

This review should've ended in around 5 minutes. He just made it longer because of his Star Trek rants. And that is why CGR is awesome.

[Kyosato89]

awsome.....purley awsome...ps do you have a secret overwhelming love for the Vectrex? lol you are a true treky fan, thank you for your opinion great vid

[sonicfan966]

This looks like the Star Wars arcade game.

Which I find ironic how when I was very little, I used to get Star Trek and Star Wars confused.

[IPAndrews]

Romulans cracked my windshield.

[tonyutter]

I still regard 2, 4, 6, and First Contact as the best of the series.

[Madmonkeythegreat]

star trek the motion picture the video game the musical!

[Wired2X]

I loved ST IV!

[SuperMLSA]

There's actually a Star Wars Arcade homebrew game, called Star Fire, on the Vecmania cart. If you want to check it out, head to vectrexcarts com

[Luigi84289]

Best vectrex game, I used to spend hours on end jaunting through the levels.

[Luigi84289]

@Luigi84289 I love how the klingon mothership explosion is just a cut and paste of the space stations.

[burr1aj]

no one knows why they like ST:TMP!

[billychanxtreem]

capcom should do a star trek vs. star wars fighting game

also, NO WIND IN SPACE!!!

[MoltenPlastic]

C'mon, the Beastie Boys actually existed sometime in the past of the Star Trek franchise, so it only makes sense that their music has survived.

After all, how much opera music did we see them listen to on the Enterprise in "Next Generation"? Are you telling me its OK for Picard to listen to Berlioz' "Lez Troyens" but not OK for young Kirk to listen to the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage"?

And even if we wanted to get geeky about it: "Sabotage" was composed before 1996 and Kahn's war on humanity!

[agenstuall85]

iknow ive said this before but BEST CGRHD EPISODE EVER!!!1!!

[WebVMan]

My game collection will never be complete without a Vectrex.

[squirm13]

Great review, i love your knowledge of star trek, i love it myself, the scene in the motion picture, when the shuttle flys over the enterprise, does go on for too long, i never saw the new star trek movie, though.

[OldManMcScrotumFace]

@squirm13 it's, Meh. Not good, Not Bad, although if you have it on bluray or HDDVD, it worth it because it visuals are pretty awesome.

[Kj16V]

Star Trek 7: The wrath of Mechagodzilla IN 3D!! With exclusive video game lincence on the Vectrex, of course

[Classicgamesfan89]

I didn't know about 1979 Star Trek movie

[JDGlassProductions]

@Classicgamesfan89 You are lucky.

[LewdCrudeTattoo]

@Rad stfu before I hAck u

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

This looks a clone of that Clasic Arcade game! But that not really bad thing now is it? lol

[shadow9376]

lol is he doggin on star trek? finaly a fellow nerd who things those movies are pointless!

[DoctorStrangeFate]

V'GER!! simply AWESOME!

[Kailon791]

about 4:30... they actually did R2D2 is in the new star trek movie. its just a cameo... but he's there.... its begun.... and yeah, Star Trek 4 is awesomeness!

[rickyjshiznit]

"ive seen every star trek... alot"

lol

[toolslave]

I seriously can't believe how bad ass this looks!

[starbase18]

the movie had acid written all over it ^^

[bluesgurugod]

Star Trek: The Motion Picture should really be renamed:

Star Trek: The Cure for Insomnia

[TheBoksera631]

@bluesgurugod no it should be called Star Trek:The Cure for Cancer

[backtoklondike]

@bluesgurugod Or Star Trek: The motionless picture. That movie was so slow that it maked "2001 a space odyssey" look like a action movie.

[LewdCrudeTattoo]

WOW star trek is pathetic man, you really think people wanna see this shizzle?

[cantorock]

I'm amazed that those graphics are 30s old. It's really smooth.

btw, R2D2 WAS in the new Star Trek, floating amongst space debris (serious!)

The new girl Uhura is nice, but Nichelle Nichols has so much class, and is a completely different league

[gorance2000]

the movie is about...well i haven't seen it

[dennett316]

"What the hell is that movie about??"

It's about 2 hours too long.

[EvilKatarn]

How the hell do you come up with your movie ideas?

[papprapp]

Yes! Vectrex reviews!

By the way, you're commentating could go really far in the sports kinda. Thumbs up!

[mikepalomino]

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is not without it's weak points, but I appreciate that movie for the singularly epic Spock line: "Nor have you doctor, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates." Such an epic line that wins all.

[1Bouncy1]

How did you manage to strecth this review 10 minutes long! :D AWESOME:P

[shroyerdave]

Nuclear wessels. 'Nuf said.

[morfolomax]

Amazing!

[soul0fdarkness]

You know what I like about Classic Game Room?

Mark's not begging for comments, or 'Likes', or subscriptions, he's not using internet memes - he creates his own. He is not someone who is in it for the money or popularity, he just does what he likes - plays videogames and talks about them. That's why i'm subscribed to him for 2 years now.

[PrehistoricLoathing]

The truest Classic Game Room HD comment ever. Hopefully, Mark reads these.

[SanDaren1]

@soul0fdarkness I couldn't agree more, my friend, you are absolutely right. CGR rules

[pacman211]

@soul0fdarkness couldn't agree with you more - that's why I like this channel as well.

[smashbrosfan25]

@soul0fdarkness I think thats the reson anybody would subcribe to this channle

[Xegethra]

@soul0fdarkness yeah pretty much, he speak his mind and plays the games and shows us what they are like

[MrSaturn33]

@soul0fdarkness Yes, he's awesome, and not a whore. But he'll never be as popular as Shane, Ray, or Fred, even though he deserves to be #1. People are idiots, and like whores more and don't realize their whorish ways. Shane uses misleading thumbnails and titles, like "JUSTIN BIEBER IS A PORN STAR!?" Ray steals other people's videos and makes money and attention off of their hard work. And Fred is completely unoriginal, anyone could do what he does, and he's been making the same video for years.

[XxXxmohxXxX]

@soul0fdarkness fuck yeah

[GamerNinjaX]

@soul0fdarkness and movies, one of the things he said is that he is a movie buff

[Azure701]

Yeah Black Belt Jones friggin rules.

.

[9esferas1]

the bullets ghosting effect is perfectly well done, impressive effect

[FUSER2K07]

your videos are the best!

[austinmackert]

Hahaha... This is the longest CGR episode--and rant--that I have seen in a while. :D

[LewdCrudeTattoo]

Star wars sucks man, the only people who like this crap are losers who can't seem to get a gripe with reality. Mark these contant vertex reviews are pretty lame man, you know there something called a ps3 you might wanna look at....it will blow your feeble mind. Tru dat mos def

[RadGamer9]

@LewdCrudeTattoo muthafucka dont make me bust yo fuggin dome

[LewdCrudeTattoo]

@RadGamer9 what you gunna do keyboard warrior ill come there and beat the living fuck outta you

[RadGamer9]

@LewdCrudeTattoo I'll shove this keyboard up yo ass nig

[applepiewithtoast]

@LewdCrudeTattoo He reviews games on the ps3 to...

[NoGamesNoLife]

YOUR VOICE IS FUCKING GOLDEN

[TKnightcrawler]

I liked the commentary, but it's funny. I'm watching this game, and I'm like "man this review is taking a while" and it's only been like 30 seconds. I dunno, this game seems fun in theory but watching it it just seems to drag on.

[thefoxyfurrylovefox]

star trek 7 will save us all

[plurp7]

great review Mark, keep up the great work!

[kittytaekwondo]

Wind Shield! :D

In Spaaaaaaace~!!

[n00berania]

LOL Wind shield.

[Gilleece666]

Holy shit I'm wasted but man your voice is awesome.

[Cecilink60]

Lmao'd at windshield.

[victorbarovsky]

I like the way you think: Star Trek VII : The Wrath of MechaGodzilla.

[Carnage6X]

Actually R2-D2 WAS in the new Star Trek movie officially. Search R2-D2 in Star Trek and you'll probably find a video about it.

[NoUsernameAvailable]

That wasn't deep space nine, that was my nacho hat.

[Sinistar24]

Wrath of Khan best Star Trek ever

[Broyale26]

@Sinistar24

Your comment is full of truth and win.

[thatgamerdude616]

beem me up scoty

[comtraya101]

YEAH! CGR is the only one who understands my Star Trek woes

[termion]

YES Black Belt Jones reference.

[deathtsunami]

star TRek Wars lol

[deathtsunami]

the new star trek sucks i didnt even make since

[master22988]

@deathtsunami It makes more sense then your comment.

[deathtsunami]

@master22988 it barely has anything to do with the original series so my comment does make more sense

[master22988]

@deathtsunami /facepalm

you wrote since

[deathtsunami]

@master22988 dodges kicks in face, so and i forget what since is sense lol

[STEELWOLF86]

your commentary is priceless

[43cable]

@STEELWOLF86 its kinda what makes him awesome lol i mean really

[STEELWOLF86]

@43cable damn straight hes probably the best at commentating

[TherianthropeAndrewH]

@STEELWOLF86 haha yer, it always is.

[shblaze30k]

sounds like there's some yelling in the background at 7:54.

[curiouscolt81]

I always thought in star trek the motion picture the borg was invented by the idea of the plot..

I can't spoil it but there something in the movie the reflects on the borg in TNG.

[jebus0000000]

Guess what. The Clin On are taking over the universe and no fucking earthling can stop us. Your planet is totally fucked up. Us Clinons have travelled all around the universe and we've never seen something as disrgaceful as this dirty planet commonly know as earth. We can;t wait to blow up this piece of shit! Fuck Earth. Clin On pride for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Broyale26]

@jebus0000000

You spelled Klingons wrong.

Comment fail

[gr3g0r3]

the power of vectrex :D

[DeltaPhi79]

It seems like they sorta revived this game in Godzilla: Save the Earth because there's an underwater minigame with Godzilla 2000 with this kinda gameplay and you fight a submarine at the end.

[KRbertsproduck5]

I like how you were in the middle of a sentence and you just randomly say, "What the hell was that movie even about?

[Broyale26]

@KRbertsproduck5

CGR has a point though. Even though its one of my favorite ST films, I still can't even tell someone what its about without sounding like an idiot.

"Well, you see, the Enterprise flies into a trippy, cloud thing that wants to destroy Earth and meet with a space craft from the '60's that wants its daddy."

See there?

[KRbertsproduck5]

@Broyale26 people like you make youtube almost unbareable

[Broyale26]

@KRbertsproduck5

People like you make reading comments on YT unBEARable with your rampant misspelling and shit. Not too mention your failure at Star Trek humour but couldn't even spell Klingon right..../facepalm @ your life.

[KRbertsproduck5]

@Broyale26 When did I spell Klingon? And where the bloody hell did I say anything bout Klingons or any kinda Star Trek humor? Are you even sure your bitching at the right person?First I just quoted the video and you posted cliff notes you saw on imdb, then I pointed out that people like you make me hate youtube, now some random shit bout Star Trek humor and spelling Klingon

[KRbertsproduck5]

@Broyale26 Also do you even watch Star Trek? I beat your just some 8 year old that just googled Star Trek and found some crap to bitch about. Or your a stoopid nerd that pretends doing some fag stuff and look porn and how to do cool things like rap or play guitar. Why don't you just screw off

[BADBOYCH]

The Klingons smashed your windsheild.

[Snotnarok]

Actually Mark, R2-D2 was in the Star Trek movie, it was in the scene where the Enterprise was entering the debris field. Apparently the special effects guy was one of the people from starwars and tossed it in as an easter egg.

[BillyCauseyjr]

@Snotnarok I don't remember much from the first star trek movie other than the trippy lights and wird montages with no sound just creepy music.

[Snotnarok]

@BillyCauseyjr I meant the new Star Trek movie, not the motion picture...unless you're referring to that movie haha. Either way new Star Trek movie I despised, then again I like TNG and not ToS.

[nicosamur]

cooooooooooooooooooollll

[vasquez123100]

is there a gravitar game for the vectrex?

[nephildevil]

peeuw peeuw peeuw krggggg cool sounds :p

[eviljoebob]

the vectrex is sweet, I cant really understand why this system never caught on. All the games on it are awsome for the time

[AfroedNinja]

Yes! The Star Wars Arcade Machine is BAD ASS!! The old school days of Chuck E Cheese's back in the early 80's. Went through cups and cups of tokens.

MAME!

[tlalotoani]

V-GER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cpmunk420]

The movie is about mans next step in evolution as beings of light. Very similar to 2001.

[preziam]

I agree this has nothing to do with Star Trek The Motion picture other than the sweet over-lay lol! And you asked what the heck the movie was about? I believe V-ger was the mother of the borg... think about it. A machine collecting mass amount of info and merging with flesh of man. V-ger probably headed to the delta quadrant where the planet of living machines probably rejected and tried to destroy v-ger. Having his urge to improve v-ger's self the borg began....

[Insertcoinstudios]

How much do Vectrex's go for nowadays?

[TheFlores1227]

@Insertcoinstudios $50

[KamilyonEnterprise]

This guy LOVES his vectrex.....and SEGA consoles NOT that there is something wrong with that.

[deathward4]

"Star Trek: The motion picture"

HOLY JESUS, THE CGI IS BETTER THEN STAR WARS.

[5k4k1dhtp]

I can't tell how you dodge the enemy attacks, sometimes they hit, sometimes they don't.

[wrsatm]

@Kobman2603 sorry......but atleast its still fun to see how it happens + its a half hour long spoof so that isnt even the climax

[freidenfelt81]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. just leave the vectrex alone. Ive played it used to own it, and HATE HATE HATE hearing you constantly talk about and refer to it. It just annoys the fuck outta me and I honestly can't tell you why. I love all ur reviews however every time I hear a vectrex reference I get this hot angry feeling and want to unsub.

[m3th0dm4n]

@freidenfelt81 Fuck off.

[LeightonW87]

@freidenfelt81 You must of had a bad experience with one, I nevver owned one myself but would love to now. Also you don't have to watch it if it offends you that much.

[TheCodedArm]

@freidenfelt81 = Bat-shit insane!

[StinkyGreenBud]

@freidenfelt81 then unsub you bitch.

[Carlos2006ful]

what are you saying the vectrex is the best system in my opinion

[wrsatm]

try watching the star wars episode of robot chicken.....jar-jar dies

[NewbtasticGaming]

@wrsatm hahaha, jarjar death in there was epic xD

[wrsatm]

@NewbtasticGaming ya...and you can do something similar with a cell-phone camera and a few toys...unfortunately i forgot what feature to use for stop motion animation

[mstrlnk7]

Who was that at 7:57 in the background? Sounded kinda annoying...

[Mast3rFr3aky]

@mstrlnk7

It sounded like "Scully!" I could be wrong, though I wouldn't be surprised if Mark was a fan of the X-Files.

[DiveOffARoofINC]

I want a Vectrex

[mtvenar]

I;m npw redy too parttty wiith Kirk and te creeew!

[scir91]

when the ships blow up, they remind me of mine storm. the ships also look like the stage enemy boss in mine storm

[Ulti2k]

arrrrrrr!

[ethanandhayden]

Vectrex owns it OWNSS!!

[captainvideoblogger]

Man, those vectrex vectors move smoothly.

[JBHutto]

The Vectrex has graphics that just pop off the screen, it's sort of like the predecessor to the Virtual Boy without the red lines and going blind. My guess is that the Nintendo 3DS is going to be a miniature Vectrex.
