We present this highly unscripted 30 minute omnibus featuring some contenders for the title "Supersystem". Filmed in New Jersey with Dankss.

We failed to rate each system during the video so Dankss and I have agreed the final scores, at the bottom of this description. I am also in the process of pimping the video with some links to our features on the individual systems where these exist.

Hope you guys enjoy it. We also shot a shoutout video which I urge you to watch, over on Dankss' channel. Links below:

  • Great video, I've never seen that portable lcd screen before is so cool. Why do you have your dog caged?

  • @FranzFamicom not my dog, it's dannks and it 's not cages that's just where he sleep. We actually rescued a stray on the evening we made this video.

  • Cool, probably the rarest systems I have is the Nintendo 64DD, and Bandai Pippin @world.

  • @seemoremacstuff hey, just checked Gamester's reviews of those systems, nice!

  • OMG.. amazing episode Matt!! Glad the 2 of you teamed up!! Really awesome!!!! =)

    30 mins of useful 90s gaming knowledge!! I now know what ports the Marty has at the back! and also the NeoGeo CDZ!! Hmm I think LT should be the rarest beast of them all. =)

  • @PhatPhunk Thanks Phat! Do you have an LT by the way?

  • If I could have only one of those systems with a full library of games.. I'd choose the Neo Geo CDZ. The NG has a small library, but it's mostly top quality titles.

    Great video. Thanks!

  • lmao hahahahah my hair looks like conan obrien... what was i thinking... oh yea i remember it was hot as hell in my place that night.... remember that stray dog... lmao what a time.... catch a flight man!

  • Feels mad owning one of the consoles in your run down of super systems lol loving my CDZ at the mo and really starting to look into picking up a PC Engine at some time but which one haha :)

  • @dankss

    Yeah matey I agree and would love an MVS cab of my own. I've stopped collecting AES games as the ones I want are prohibitively expensive now - one a year for the next while if I'm lucky!

    AES though in my opinion in still the more rewarding collecting option though because of the nice cases, manuals, etc. But as you say, the gameplay is the same. Best option is to get both really.

  • @MrVengeance83

    when i first started collecting a mint aes boxed was my first inverstment along with countless rare titles but after a while i couldnt fork out the money to get the ones i really wanted so i put that beast far in storage and have been doing the mvs scene since. i like mvs better you get more for your money when getting a full mvs kit vs a complete aes game... both are exactly the same gameplay just big difference in price.

  • @futurematt5

    hell yea phunk has an lt.... you didnt know!!! omg man! i forgot to mention it but thats how phunk and i met.... the power of the pc engine lt...
