Classic Game Room HD - BOWLING! for Magnavox Odyssey 2

[NSPcrazYKABK112]

"There's no time for bowling when you're strangling people with tentacles."! I wonder how much worse bowling would be on the Odyssey (Original).

[NSPcrazYKABK112]

"Bowling on the Magnavox does have one thing the Atari does not have: . . .an exclamation point."!

[red5media]

I had this, woot!

[dkramer5]

BASKETBALL! is even better than this game

[antirblack]

you can't fuckin get a fuckin strike in this flippin game!!!! wat the hell??

[Mythic128]

No extra frame? Fuck you!

[jamesmrobert]

...ya'll be hatin' on my bowling 'cuse I can't afford and atari!

[mnofmystrie]

I'd rather play Magnavox Odyssey 2 than have Miracle Whip

[ComradeZX]

this game gives nintendo's wii bowling a run for its money.

[19felix98]

MOST REALISTIC GAME EVARRR!!!!

[calleido]

I wish games today would have built in gravity fields.

[Guilletech]

UFO rules!

[brgvt97]

I used to keep records of my Odyssey 2 high scores. Bowling was by far the easiest game they ever made. I had 129 "300" games, 13 "900" series, 10 consecutive "300" games, 3 consecutive 900s, and 4 series of 885.

[Tanyu5hka]

what a shitty game, omg -___-

[dhhs91]

Fuck bowling for the Wii, this is the real shit right here.

[PuksisKissa]

This is BOWLING!

[RetroArcadia]

war of nerves isnt much better imo

[MattTheSaiyan]

I wish I had an Odyssey 2.

[gjc82071]

Bowling"!", LOL. Hey, do you have "the voice" for you O2? I have (had, lost, bought again in 2001) an O2 with most of the games made for it. I am a HUGE classic gamer. I love Atari (all), Commodore 64, MAME, etc. I use emulators almost exclusively (easier)....what I am getting at is.....even by vintage 70's gaming tech, the O2 was pretty poor. The coolest thing about it, was probably the TV commercials. Remember any? They featured some "Wizard"? LOL. I rarely play it, real or emulator.

[bazfanv2]

Magnavox...... sounds like a transformer.

[TheRaker55]

This is just.. bowling.. This, is BOWLING!!

[lompe14]

lol... the ball has two speeds: first slow and then stupid!

[Trance88]

wow. That bowling game is terrible! I really don't see how it's possible to make a true bowling video game in the first place since it takes physical skill and technique to play the game correctly. I suppose Nintendo Wii bowling is as close to an actual virtual game of bowling as you can get.

[MrAmonkey7]

interesting thing about war of the nerves

in europe the box art look's nothing like

the us box art so i dont think europe got

the tenticle drome

[TheBrassHole]

I don't understand why you're being such an ass hole about it... Thumbs down for being a jerky kid.

[Liynkx]

@TheBrassHole wow....

[JZDestruction]

it looks like pac man eating those ghosts tht are dots

[KernsNoel]

looks like a wonky shooter. lol

[Backflipstudios]

Man did I love this video review, so funny! (note the exclamation point)

[redsox258]

3:38 LMAO!!!

[Legometallica09]

lol WHAT?!? No extra frame F*** YOU

[Legometallica09]

But theres one difference. This is jjust bowling. This is BOWLING! Wait. THIS IS SPARTA BOWLING!

[littlemac85r]

I coulnt belive the first odysse console review by TAVGN

[Iriatv]

man this game brings back old memories

[DoitForTheLolz1]

@woutejliziaasml825:

You have terrible grammar and punctuation!

[PikaChamp112]

@woutejliziaasml825

Go fuck yourself bitch

[TheLucaswaffen]

3:28 WTF?!?!?!?!

[nutherefurlong]

Did you do War of Nerves yet?

[ChoclateSailor]

These graphics are better than ps3 and 360 lol

[johnwx777]

@ChoclateSailor

I hope your're joking.Otherwise ,you might want to check your 8-bit glasses 'cause they might be broken :)

[ChoclateSailor]

@johnwx777 You really think I was serious? Really?

[thejobloshow]

@ChoclateSailor I bet this game has a more rational fanbase than those on the ps3 and 360... then again, those who remember the Magnabox are probably in their 50s.

[ArtistChannel04]

avgn should review the odyssey2

[snesplay]

simeon the tenticle droid! please please review war of nerves!

[Tryzon]

"This is just Bowling. This is BOWLING!"

[darkslayer1996]

lol What no Extra Frame? **** You

[goodkat2]

back in the day ,what price did these games retail at ?

thanks

[dougd1015]

About $30.

[goodkat2]

Thanks

Was just wondering , seems games have always been pretty expensive :)

[notyoursavior78]

Why hasn't Mark reviewed War of Nerves? He hasn't right? That game just sounds tight!

[crazyzach5]

He has

[notyoursavior78]

I just looked it up and I don't see it.

[narutofangoogle]

holy crap this game is so exciting i want to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[ER15264]

Wii bowling totaly beats this!!!

[Tryzon]

Still no War of Nerves! review? For shame.

[Tryzon]

3:35 Strike!

[Tryzon]

2:41 "So realistic, the court has a built-in gravity field!"

Wait....what? Eh? Ah? Oh? This makes no sense!

[Tryzon]

This is "Bowling". This is "BOWLING!"

[markvergeer]

The video states that Magnavox didn't use many 3rd party developers. They didn't use ANY to be exact. All the games look and feel very similar? Why? Because most of them if not ALL of them were actually programmed by one single programmer!

[Tryzon]

Well it certainly seems like the same person wrote all the manuals.

[jretin]

This is... BOWLING!

[AlienComppany]

And the one on atari is just bowling.

[Guysers]

This is just.. bowling.. This, is BOWLING!!

[Guilletech]

I have UF.O. !!

[Vkmies]

Is odyssey2 backwards compatible with odyssey 1 games?

[mattnintendonerd]

NO it is not

[BiffsGamingVideos]

@Vkmies no

[michaelhpedersen]

I remember the Odyssey but I never knew there was a 1 and 2 until now. My friends all knew Odyssey to be a sort of dune buggy thing but to me it was an awesome game system.

[gumdeo]

War of Nerves is pretty neat.

[atineiatte]

Woohoo! I own this system! (but not this game)

[crazynintendoguy]

are you going to review odyssey 1?

[boratslaya]

almost impossible to get, came out before pong, years before pong, didnt make many, didnt sell well because every one thought you needed a MAGNAVOX television

[nightwheel]

there are like 5 on ebay right now.

[ivanha1]

Are you kidding mee!!!???

They are like 600$"

[danceallot]

lol wait no extra lane well fuck you lol

[EdElricBoy]

At my game trader, they have an Oddysey 2 BOXED AND COMPLETE, but from quick checks, the only Oddysey 2 geme they have is KC munchkin. Just the game, just THAT game. Haven't checked the price though.

[notyoursavior78]

haha funny review. I liked when the ball went in between the three pins somehow. And the marketing department for the manual was hilarious too.

[kyotoair]

i kinda like this game. played 4 player with my friends and i won!!!

[stormtrooper190]

i will be making dreamcast reviews soon VERY SOON

[mrsmiliauskas212]

hi mr classic game room person i love video games your videos are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rojman123]

Hehe...we had this as kids.

[TenguGuy]

I pity you.

[fliptastikmasta]

i need a massage

[dmal1421]

wow, my cousin actually had this game and we played the dumb thing when i would visit. you should have showed the b-ball game, cheesy oneon one stick figures sliding across the floor, shooting a block into a three sided box like the original peach basket. it was ass!

[Wirld]

Nothing matches the tentacles of doom.

[gamegeex]

So real? Ya right.

[downphoenix]

there's no time for bowling when you're strangling people with tentacles, LMAO, that line wins.

[iamDelBoy]

do a review on the original Dig Dug

i met my 1st girl friend in a smokey arcade many years ago lol playing doubles on that game

[Gum2Gum]

lol slow and stupid funny mate.

[sinistermoon]

Wow that looked really really bad. I feel better and better about my Intellivision every day.

[boomstick545]

same here

[TanukiKGA]

"slow and then stupid" got me laughing as hell.. good one as always :)

[Rep2369]

Whow, that game has issues! First thing I noticed was the ball has ZERO deflection when it hits the pins, I thought it had a little too much on the 2600 but it is part of the game and should be there. Were you bowling with a pool ball Mark? It's IMPOSSIBLE to go thru the 6-9-10 like you did and not hit any! And no extra shots in the 10th frame when ya struck? F*patented game room bleep* you indeed! I've been bowling since I was little and love bowling games but this one just doesn't cut it!

[RockingGames]

so...how much did this cost when it was first released?

[SnivenMcLovin]

"No extra frame?! Fuck you!"

[xgamer3000]

So realistic it has a built in gravity field!

Well, is it not gonna be built in? of course it's built in, there isn't gonna be a gravity expansion pack.

[GameGuyTroy]

Your videos rock, and its good to see you actually rip on a game! "Bowling!" on the Odyssey 2 looks ridiculously week compared to Bowling on the 2600.

[xgamer3000]

no intro? Oh well.

you guys are the best reviewers ever.

[kidneydealer]

Yeah... I like the intro too... But... What can we do? Hehe... I love CGR game reviews... The best ever!!!

[danytoon]

Yep, we need the intro. It could sound weird, but it doesnt the same with the drums at the start ... I always find myself following the rythm with the head... :)

[nastyguard007]

Yaay! All of your reviews are awesome! I sure don't want to play this game :P Nice review though, and I was waiting all day for this.

[Ozvortex]

CGR rocks!

[endofthelinejoel]

I like it when you review bad games once in a while! It makes for a nice contrast.

[KamratSvenneryd]

good video. :)

[Anarchist86ed]

do you ever sleep?

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[SoFrosts]

I just can't get enough CGR D: i wish mark would sell t-shirts.

[Kaaaasse001]

good video

[irocktheworld22]

2nd veiw yay nice reveiw

[mattfanv1]

[samuelbell1990]
