Classic Game Room HD - VECTOR TANKS for iPod review

[walter0bz]

copyright is ridiculous here. This game is inspired but VERY different !!

how fully they can just change it a bit, e.g. make it look hand-drawn or something, and keep the game rethemed... if Atari really can copyright 'wireframe / tanks" which is ridiculous

[BeansOnGhost]

Game has been taken down! Damn you Atari! What arseholes!

[IIIJFRIII]

"YEEAAAAA-ooooooo, stupid land mine." The only reason Im debating on getting a iphone is becuase of this game.

[IIIJFRIII]

@IIIJFRIII Please make this game for WP7.

[ProtegeComputersInc]

YEA-ow. Stupid land mine.

[optimuswhat]

its on the PC

[dougd1015]

Its been a while since I've watched the Game Room and God I've missed him.

The beer, the humor, the Pennsylvania video game playing 80's loving sex machine.

I just got this off iTunes and then I remembered, I got this game because of Mark Bussler!

[Pokegod100]

Sounds like Throwing up! Throwing up! Not Blow it UP! :P

[IIIJFRIII]

BLOW IT UP! BLOW IT UP! BLOW IT UP!

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

Awesome game. But only on the wrong platform......

[Pacifiesta]

can you get a similar game on the macintosh?

[witonohalim]

"shoot the green thing"

[minameise]

Holy Shit, I miss battle zone. I'm going to go play that now.

[MrLastkill3r]

It should be on Vectrex.

[zelda7ase]

Who remembers spectre challenger on old macs? That was the original version of this!

[MICmasterstorm]

dad wont get me another touch till i get enough money after someone at my old school jacked it (I MISS TOWER BLOX)

[jozhfitz]

Ur awesome

[8bitPikachu]

WOW its like battlezone bought some steroids from the twisted metal games

[hermitcrabstuff34]

how do you turn the song on i have vector tanks and vector tanks extreme

[Skimaskkass]

The guy who made this game has a youtube account... and about every classic arcade game ever fucking made!

[dogfaced]

I was lucky enough to have a Vectrex when I was a kid. Definitely the most addictive thing since crack!

[n00berania]

This should've been on the Vectrex long ago so this would be like a remake.

[Dragondicer]

Geez!!

I've spent a lot of my pocket money on this arcade game when I was a kid!

This brings back memories, LOL.

Hard to imagine that an old fashioned game like this still keeps somebody occupied.

Lets you get melancholic for a couple of minutes...that's it.

But as a kid I loved it!

Thanks for the vid!

Cheers!

[ZackathuiaKawonga]

@Dragondicer This was never out in the Arcades...

[Dragondicer]

@ZackathuiaKawonga

Well, in Germany it was! At least it looked exactly the same. It was called Battlezone and I spent lots of pocket money on it when I was 15.

[crazylevipinball]

It's a very good game...but a little easy would be my complaint.

[stupidstuffx]

No, it's more or less based on Battlezone for the arcades and the Atari 5200

[nutherefurlong]

It even has the crescent moon :) Too bad there aren't more targets types

[rasfi1]

some people don't have a work to do

[monkeyman123321]

actully the turning isn't back ward in tanks you control it by trends. if you give more power to the left one you turn right.

[RaccoonPaw]

That's not Tron. At all.

[Snotnarok]

I wish this came out on PSP or something, sure you'd lose the touch screen effect and what not but this looks like so much fun.

[Snotnarok]

Vector graphics isn't pixels and graphics but rather vector based points (mathmatical locations) that form lines and shapes via points and vectors.

[drschizo]

yes. You may find complete documentation on vector graphics theories on the internet.

[kreeddem]

what

drschizo said.

[drschizo]

x,y,z

[M1cR0S0fT4Ev3r]

Blow it uUP! BLOW IT UP BLOW IT UP! YAAARGH!!!!

[NESMASTER14]

haha that looks intense

[kukulcanazo]

That Vectrex looks so awesome *.*

[BoxedEntertainment21]

Once you get used to the controls in this game, it becomes one seriously killer game on the Ipod touch/phone.

[TTOTheTrueOne]

Get him !

GET HIM !

YEAARGH !!!1

- awesome

[CheatingSoi]

You are just loving vectrex lately

[morgangamer22]

cool

[consoletimmy]

I just love the way you say:

"It's like they made this game for me"

lol, awesome! hilarious

[gtas123]

This is also a flash game.. -_-. iPod is NOT a game system CGR

[Aldawok12]

yes it is, it can hold 12 more gb than my xbox

[uberpubert69]

on the contrary. Apple has definitely made a hand held here. If it plays games then its a game system. and dont give me that crap about cellphones being game systems too then because phone games blow.

[gtas123]

The iPhone isnt a gamign console.. Now dont go off thinking just because something can play a game its a gaming console.. The Apple ipod could play games.. Was IT a gaming system? or a media library? NO IT WAS A MEDIA LIBRARY. The DS and PSP are gaming systems, not the iPhone... Do you even HAVE a DS or a PSP? The iPhone doesnt compete with neither because of its horrible battery life and horrid games (In comparison to the DS and PSP's games.)

[uberpubert69]

your opinion is meaningless to me, and yes I do have a ds and psp both hacked. like mark I have almost every console out there.

[FuzzyDaKirbyFan]

actually apple are trying to sneak into the gaming market and you could count the ipod touch as a handheld but not the iphone as the iphone is a phone

[Snotnarok]

It's not a gaming console, but it has games and he's reviewing those, and if you don't like want to see the ipod reviews, you're in luck, you don't have to watch. :)

[Nanowise]

Tank VR Training :)

[m1lkasasstafidi]

VECTREX RLZ :P

[mavodza]

to me it looks like the game mind end up boring after a while but, i like blowing stuff up so... lol

[bazfanv2]

Im a big retro gamer, and to see vektor graphics back in action shows you cant keep a games era down too long. This could easily be adapted to the vektrex.

[Nazrat84]

GET HIM!! GET HIM!! YYYAAAAAA

[Atomicskull]

The original line is "blow s*** up".

[geekstik]

Are you an Urbansnake fan?

[JohnF30Music]

wow thats sick

[TankT9]

Damn.. I want play it.. This game has just the mood to like it - BLOW IT UP!

I get transformrers, but there not enough of BLOW IT UP, and this litle game is BLOW IT UP at itself.. shame to new consols.. shame..

[MAT0R0]

There should be a vectrex 2. That can handle graphics like these. And better sound quality. That would be cool. So people who are into dumb modern games will love it, because its in vectrex 2 graphics. I wish there was a vetrex 2. I can't seem to find a good bargin for a vectrex that actually works. =/

[Giluc]

what happened to the ads in the videos?

[racefaceec90]

great review mark!!!i love those graphics,geometry wars and tron spring to mind!!!

[Bjurta94]

haha i think im gonna get this game ; )

[Movyguru1]

Thats awsome! The music sounds amazing, very cool track playing. 5 stars sir.

[chivesgamereviews]

is this free for the ipod touch? Grt vid!!

[EarthboundMike27]

blow it up lol :D

[tombert256]

This should definitely be on the vectrex

[gdement]

Between the dark lighting, the music, and the vector action game being played here... for a moment I felt like I was back in an 80's arcade. Awesome.

[Iamtheowl5]

man where can i find this song? it would go fantastic with anything that has to do with video games and explosions

anywhere from splosion man to red faction

[Cerberus413]

I downloaded this earlier after seeing this review....and I love it!!!!

[devilxking2]

I'm in the mood for another Vectrex review, now!

[HaloMetalHead]

they should make new games like this for the new systems. they could make something very original and awesome!!!!! vectrex!!! i want one!!!!

[plurp7]

thank you Mark. i needed to see that someone out there is still pumping out vector graphic style games, even though thi seems to be emulated vectors, its still nice.

i would say this is a Battlezone clone at best... but *Supremely* well done, 5 stars for you sir and for VECTOR TANKS on the iPod!

[seanobi777]

the music kicks ass, thats for sure

[moshXpit91]

REVIEW CRYSIS!!!  :D come on mark....just do it...it's awesome

[moshXpit91]

wow kaioshinex2, that was completely unnecessary

[sonicspeed011]

does he have to review Crisis? no, for present day games, he only reviews the new ones

[carlene999]

yes this looks like the best ipod game

[jnskyliner34]

BLOW IT UP! BLOW IT UP! BLOW IT UP!

lol nice review as always. ;)

[Ibreakthingz]

Back to black!! Well done, bout time. Good review..not to sure of the game..still slot better than recently

[Sinistar24]

If you like vector graphics, you should do a Tac Scan review. Awesome game

[FOZproductionz]

that game looks pretty cool i might buy it

[psfonseka]

whats the original version of this? i remember playing something like this on a old computer

[flamavana]

ya i remember that too

[lopiaz123]

Ravieoli

[hecklord]

it's very oldschool.... and i think this game is cool....

[Lachlant1984]

Wow, a game with a heavy metal soundtrack, not the first I know, I quite like the look of this game, though I don't have an iPod, oh well.

[card969]

what the name of that metal song?

[MrAppleby56]

Concherto No.86

[mondrometal]

1:23 hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hiPlasma]

1:23  YAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa

[follyofanarchy]

best review yet! keep up the good word :)

[SpecterM91]

God, I love vector graphics. They look awesome and remind me of TRON for some reason.

[godsadog]

great review again ty

[suicidalparrot]

Oh no another iPod review. call out the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE, here come the crybabies. why don't you people just skip over these reviews and watch the others? Or just get pissed over something so irrelevant and unsubscribe. The rest of us won't miss you. It's Mark's channel he'll review what he likes.

[suicidalparrot]

I don't have an iPod or iPhone and could care less about them or games for them, but i don't begrudge him reviewing games for them when he likes playing them and wants to share with others who might be interested. You can all go be petty elsewhere, please.

[khalinm]

do u remember a game called slicers it was on the old apple mac years ago i really need 2 find it

[Snotnarok]

Because most people are as you said whiny babies. They don't see that they have a choice not to watch, so instead they complain.

[skotty1992]

sony should be taking notes! we need games like this for psp on the psn store

[AndrosTRB]

They need to bring this to consoles...like NOW!

[southparkresident]

this almost looks good enough to play on xbox. Shit if they but it on live arcade, who knows. I love the style of it. Kinda like tron or something.

[D3STRUKT0R99]

they have Battlezone on the Live arcade. It has online MP versus and vector graphics

[RampagedWillis]

AAHHH I REMEMBER THIS GAME!

me and my dad would always play it.

[tehfireperson]

BLOW IT UP BLOW IT UP

[JackleTheMantle]

FUCK YEEAR ALTERNATING CURRENT

[outbreak201]

BLOW IT UP BLOW IT UP BLOW IT UP!!!

[Premoyock]

Awesome...

[AfroedNinja]

Cool Game!! I'm surprised!! Go Vector Tanks!!

The music rocks!!  Must be more games like this!

[TaliMal514]

BLOW IT UP BLOW IT UP

[Cnd0r]

BLOW IT UP BLOW IT UP

[StarInvasion]

all in favor of the vectrex mkII? A vector-graphic based console with modern day technology! that would be so fucking awesome... we can dream!

[jose7777777777777777]

ive played it on pc

[pwnageking5]

BLOW IT UP BLOW IT UP

[Darrylb500]

Actually I've heard from people that know Vectrex programming that said doing a Battlezone clone would be pretty difficult to do. But I'd still like to see someone do this on it though.

Funny review, nice to hear all the Vectrex mentions :)

[theacsupercats]

Wow, that looks pretty badass. Great review. And yes, very awesome music.

[xemurai]

It looks fantastic =) Just like the old days!

[callmemarc]

Get 'em, Get 'em, YEAH!

[TheAwsomestDude01]

i played this on the comp. once

[Falkenheart]

what song is this?!

[Recruza]

BLOW IT UP!

[geekstik]

Blow Shit Up by Urbansnake.

[kingjosh1876]

i dont know what you were on about vectrex

[Trippuri]

LOL @ the song! "BLOW IT UP! BLOW IT UP! BLOW IT UP!"

[llAVALANCHEll]

They should have put the volcano from Battlezone in the background. Also, if they had put the volcano, they should have made the mothership and the castle in the volcano that were rumored to be in Battlezone.

[HardGoldenCore]

Cool

[mythbusters22]

this game is the shit im going to get it how much is it

[HaloSpeeder]

OMG they brought bake the vectrex!

[MunterE]

I need that song on my iPod.

[FPSLink55]

This should've been on the Vectrex.

[iLikeRetroGames]

yeah!

[cloudzers777]

Can you please review soul caliber IV!? ps love your videos!

[Nouseeker]

listen to ipod while playing the vectrex >:-)

[Ricjones1994]

xD 1:27, ROIDS! lmao

[Ishidasouken]

done playing in 60 seconds

there isnt any more than that

[demented669]

BattleZone 2 was a great game should play that and review that love them hover tanks

[BrutalDon0Bg]

Blow it up! Blow it up! Blow it up!

[untreat]

This is like the earlier version of Battlezone

[adampilotf22]

lol vector meaning shapes, and not raster meaning pixels

[fallenlover95]

lol mark it seems like you really like this game huh?

[soilwork121]

Damn Vector Tanks on the iPod looks fun as hell. Very smooth running :P and the Vectrex = awesome!

[megamannt125]

Dear dumb fanboys,

Wii is great for casual gamers, your grandma, hardcore classic Nintendo fans, and someone who wants a relaxing game once in a while.

360 is great if your obsessed with shooters

PS3 is like both of them combined, it has variety without being casual.

[utubernumber]

it isnt nintendo's fault that developers dont make any shooting games for wii but still there are shooting games for wii

[Ishidasouken]

yeah but there are some deep shooters

like bioshock

[megamannt125]

FPS are pretty fun, but there's just so many and there's not alot different from them, it's either shooting aliens or other humans in some war, never anything original.

[circuscommando]

-Timesplitters

-No one lives forever

-Giants:citizens Kabuto

-Doom

-Turok

[11svans11]

Yes very true!

And I think that because of that, they're boring....

But fun... lol (some).

[Torqegood]

Carrying large consoles does not work that way.

[jacobartaylor]

that game looks awesome!

[aaronjaggan]

blow it up ..blow it up!!!!!!!

[Paden260]

Vectrex > 360, Wii, and PS3

=D

[robotfabio]

sure..........................­....

[brunq1]

lol some idiot are saying that xbox360 are the best and the war begins fuck off watch the vid

[zanuha]

why not plug in an iPod to a Vectrex?

[pedrofernandes1993]

Tell me why ?

[VirtualSquirrel]

Are retarted?

[geojhkj]

a nintendo fag boy your vagina is talking agian lol am i right !

[77Fortran]

you moron

[utmoststunna]

bullshit ps3 is shitty

[megamannt125]

Not really, each system has it's up and downs, and tend to the needs of different gamers.

[AssassinOfSouls]

says the ps3 fanboy

[StAnger1xD]

The oldschool-ness and soundtrack is f-ing awesome, there's nothing much more to say, too bad there's no console/pc version of it..

[DirtyDen13]

The Music sounds AWSOME!!!

It looks like Vectrex graphics which makes it more cool.

You should review Golden Axe for iPod Touch

[Retrogamer71]

Loved this game, battlezone in the arcades,

and wonder if this is on vectrex.

Vector Tanks on IPOD must have!

[ShadowsFilmsStudios]

downloading this

[mergatroid92]

I want it. lolz

[sujet]

I loved that game on the arcades
