Argonaut software developed Race Drivin' for the Gameboy, which impressed Nintendo so much they asked them to develop what would become Starfox (Starwing). Argonaut also designed the Super FX chip to go with it from scratch, Also the Super FX chip was originally called the "Mario chip", it's also printed on every early chip.

I remember Hugo being played on TV (read: on the national TV broadcast) by kids calling a special contest number in the morning. They would push 4 and 6 on their phone and Hugo would move left or right, 2 for down 8 for up etc. Your success was largely based on how close to the TV-station you lived, the lag for anyone living anywhere else in the country was insane.

Ah,, my first strong memory as a 5 year old child. The year was 1994, and I received a Gameboy and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. About a year later, I was playing the game again in my room, and got to the 3 little pigs boss in Mario Zone. I kept dying over and over, and out of frustration I banged the Gameboy against my head which cracked the screen. That was the saddest day of my life. To avoid getting in trouble, I hid it under some filing papers in the computer desk in our bonus room. My mother didn't ask me about it for a good 6 months, and while she was disappointed with me for hiding it, she bought me the recently released Gameboy Pocket.

I spent a whole winter (well maybe 3-4 days during a terrible snowstorm) jammed under a lamp on a stand, curled up to one side of a rocker armchair playing Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening from beginning to end. On the last day I had to go to a magazine shop to get a gaming magazine that told the pattern to get through the final maze, because I had been wandering aimlessly through it for hours and I was losing my mind. The snow drifts were so high we couldn't get our front (and only) door open, so we had to open a window and slide out. I have such a fond memory of that time and any time I hear the music from the game it instantly takes me back to 1993.

As a kid I had a game called Robopon, which was a ripoff of pokemon with robots. But the unusual thing was it had an IR sensor which you could us a remote control for your TV to send items and stuff to the game, its really unique and strange, you didnt have that to show so I thought I'd mention it.
@OdaSwifteye
10 жыл бұрын
I'm glad you mentioned that. I actually found Robopon a lot of fun and played the sequel as well which ended up being a let down because the remote/clock gimmick was axed and it changes the gameplay mechanics rather than improve them. I liked a lot of games that I considered to be "Pokemon ripoffs." Like the various digimon games, The Dragon Warrior Monster Tamer series, Azure Dream's (which was really a rougelike but that term didn't exist among 9 year olds in the late 90s), and who can forget......wait. What game am I thinking of again? Animorphs had a game and it was a pokemon knockoff. I'll just let you imagine what the gameplay was like.

I understand that Nintendo dominates the handheld market but saying PSP did not stand a chance is so utterly incorrect.

"Dead lines" on a Game Boy screen can actually be easily repaired - heat has to be applied to the ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the motherboard, which thereby reseats the individual connections and allows them to regain proper contact (thus making the dead lines go away). The only point of caution is that the contacts sit beneath a rubber/foam (can't remember) strip, which you have to carefully lift without damaging the ribbon cable further.

I actually love PSP so much that I had model 1000, 2000, 3000 and Go, all at the same time, Vita never deserved so much passion, Sony just didn't nailed it like with PSP.

So, originally the idea was that people could buy the game and collect the monsters, and they decided to do two versions of the same game, but make certain monsters version exclusive. This prompted you to trade with your friends to "Catch 'em all" With each iteration of the franchise I, as a fan, will admit that the core game play is exactly the same as it was when I put my copy of Red into my original Game Boy the first time. They do make minor tweaks with each release though, such as new mechanics, story lines, enhanced competitive battling system and of course, new monsters. I'm pretty sure there are so many because with each new game they get new players, so when they continue to sell like they do, why would they stop. Also, there are SOOOOO many spin offs and merchandising opportunities, its essentially like having a money cow that is ripe for the milking! And there you have your answer =)

They are the same concept, but revise mechanics, story, as well as characters. Fundamentally it is a turn-based Japanese RPG, and each iteration makes minor tweaks to the combat mechanics, adds new moves/abilities, etc. As others have said, each new generation adds a bunch more pokemon as well; the first two games had 151; the second generation had 250 or so, etc. Overall the reason they keep making so many is the same reason they make Mario games; most Mario games are very similar to one another, but they are a pretty sure sell.

Ah,, my first strong memory as a 5 year old child. The year was 1994, and I received a Gameboy and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. About a year later, I was playing the game again in my room, and got to the 3 little pigs boss in Mario Zone. I kept dying over and over, and out of frustration I banged the Gameboy against my head which cracked the screen. That was the saddest day of my life. To avoid getting in trouble, I hid it under some filing papers in the computer desk in our bonus room. My mother didn't ask me about it for a good 6 months, and while she was disappointed with me for hiding it, she bought me the recently released Gameboy Pocket.

I spent a whole winter (well maybe 3-4 days during a terrible snowstorm) jammed under a lamp on a stand, curled up to one side of a rocker armchair playing Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening from beginning to end. On the last day I had to go to a magazine shop to get a gaming magazine that told the pattern to get through the final maze, because I had been wandering aimlessly through it for hours and I was losing my mind. The snow drifts were so high we couldn't get our front (and only) door open, so we had to open a window and slide out. I have such a fond memory of that time and any time I hear the music from the game it instantly takes me back to 1993.

Like the various digimon games, The Dragon Warrior Monster Tamer series, Azure Dream's (which was really a rougelike but that term didn't exist among 9 year olds in the late 90s), and who can forget......wait.

"Dead lines" on a Game Boy screen can actually be easily repaired - heat has to be applied to the ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the motherboard, which thereby reseats the individual connections and allows them to regain proper contact (thus making the dead lines go away). The only point of caution is that the contacts sit beneath a rubber/foam (can't remember) strip, which you have to carefully lift without damaging the ribbon cable further.

Finally a random gaming video. I had originally subbed because of those. Nice to finally see one again. I mean I guess the cheap rip off console videos can only go so far you have probably reviewed most that have been made.

yeah, im still glad he's making videos to this day tho, they're still very entertaining.
Just a statement on how popular the Gameboy was: my grandmother, who was about 60 when the Gameboy was released, bought one to play Tetris and tennis on it. My grandfather only used it to play baseball.
Find your channel very intresting been a fan for a while now 😀, thanks for ur entertainment when i am bored

What happened to this series, Ashens?
right as i wanted a new ashens video :)
Nice one. Got to love the old GB. Like you say was released at just the right time and pretty much had a monopoly on the market back in the day. And to think 25 years on they are still making squeals to the same games on their new handhelds...

MarioBlaster10 Actually, when you think about the use of the word, "be or act as a mother or father to (someone). "exhaustion is incompatible with good parenting" synonyms: bring up, be the parent of, look after, take care of, rear, raise, nurture "all children are special to those who parent them" " Then a 'parent' can be anyone or thing that takes on the responsibility of raising a child. So time to shutup. You are embarrassing yourself.

No. But I didn't write "Gameboy was my biological parent" did I? Seriously. Enough now. What I wrote made sense and was a humorous comment. You not being able to understand things fully has lead to all this boring back and forth. You are 100% wrong in your critique. You are dragging the average down. Stop.
Oh how far we've come.
My first handheld was the Gameboy Color. Loved it so much! Especially the Harry Potter games and Commander Keen could entertain me for hours.

Jon Mahashintina Well, there's no much difference from gray to silver so I don't blame them for making Silver's cartridge the way is.
I had friends at school whose Dads went abroad on business trips and would bring home fake GB cartridges for them.
@ashens- The black carts are actually hybrid cartridges. When inserted into a monochrome Gameboy, they play in black & white, but when inserted into a GBC they play in colour, opposed to actual GBC carts which only work in GBC consoles and only play in colour.
Ive watched the gameboy extravaganza series so many times
"Good thing they don't do that anymore, well not to the same extent anyway". Uhm, Stuart, are you aware that the Xbox One released in North and South America, UK and Australia in November 2013, but not until THIS MONTH in Scandinavia, Benelux, Switzerland, Russia, Japan and China? 10 months isn't as long as ~15-18, sure, but it's still mindbogglingly long.

Fizalex It's not looking too good for you now.
Still waiting for Atari Lynx Extravaganza. I was interested in Lynx in 90s because of fantastic arcade ports but never got it, my first portable was Game Gear, I have 3 Game Gears in total, and completed from theyr wrecks one final Game Gear which I have today. Shit, blurry screen and appaling battery life but unique, never-seen-again games. I like consoles with landscape orientation, GameBoy was too narrow for me, until GBA, so Game Gear and than PSP and Vita were my choices. I actually love PSP so much that I had model 1000, 2000, 3000 and Go, all at the same time, Vita never deserved so much passion, Sony just didn't nailed it like with PSP.
I got a game boy for my 7th birthday I'm 32 now and it's still going strong. Thanks for the vid.
Sure brings back memories! A neighbor gave me 2 of these and a few games along with a light and some games all in a case. I also have that 4-way connector. I never could get it to work with my games though...

"Sitting in weird places under lamps" I've never spent so much time near a lamp in any other period of my life than the Gameboy years. I had a lamp by my bed for the specific purpose of playing the various Gameboys. The backlight on the GBASP was such a godsend back then.
I remember being in Spain as a kid and finding a 99 in 1 cartridge in a local shop, blew my mind, had world heroes 2 and a slew of Japanese fighting games on it..... Still have it 20 years later
god i love this ahhaha cracked me up far better than any of 'try not to laugh impossible challenge' crap videos..and gameboy is awesome i still have it
Nerdcubed send me
I am really looking forward to these videos.
OH MY GOODNESS I used to own Shadowgate when I was 7 or something and I've been trying to remember what that cool point and clicker in the dungeon is ever since I somehow lost it. Mentioning that name really rang a bell, thank you so much.
Hey, can anyone tell me what the differences are between all the pokemon games? Why are there so many, but so little differences?

Graphical updates (depending mostly on handheld you're playing on) and the amount of guys to catch and activities to do with said guys. Story however hasn't evolved much since the original. Not too bad though since I wager most people don't play them for the story. (I mean I don't...)

So, originally the idea was that people could buy the game and collect the monsters, and they decided to do two versions of the same game, but make certain monsters version exclusive. This prompted you to trade with your friends to "Catch 'em all" With each iteration of the franchise I, as a fan, will admit that the core game play is exactly the same as it was when I put my copy of Red into my original Game Boy the first time. They do make minor tweaks with each release though, such as new mechanics, story lines, enhanced competitive battling system and of course, new monsters. I'm pretty sure there are so many because with each new game they get new players, so when they continue to sell like they do, why would they stop. Also, there are SOOOOO many spin offs and merchandising opportunities, its essentially like having a money cow that is ripe for the milking! And there you have your answer =)

They are the same concept, but revise mechanics, story, as well as characters. Fundamentally it is a turn-based Japanese RPG, and each iteration makes minor tweaks to the combat mechanics, adds new moves/abilities, etc. As others have said, each new generation adds a bunch more pokemon as well; the first two games had 151; the second generation had 250 or so, etc. Overall the reason they keep making so many is the same reason they make Mario games; most Mario games are very similar to one another, but they are a pretty sure sell.
