    I saw some dude on KZread, he made Amiga synthwave with Amiga software. The Amiga soundchip is was in the 80's and early 90's. My brother had one and I had Atari 5200 and Sega mastersystem pal version. So many nostalgic moments.

    I saw Amiga in the thumbnail and clicked immediately. Ruff 'n Tumble and Yo! Joe are good picks, but there are also a lot of truly fantastic games on that thing, Turrican II being my absolute favorite (and one of my favorite games period). Insanely good soundtracks are also kind of a running theme for the system. If you're into video game music and haven't looked into Amiga soundtracks, I highly recommend doing so. The title themes in particular are worth looking up.

    The Virtual Boy has a small library, but the games it does have are almost all excellent. It's an absolute shame Nintendo never did any ports of enhanced sequels to Virtual Boy games like Teleroboxer, Mario Clash and of course, VirtualBoy Wario Land. If you can get ahold of a working VirtualBoy, it's totally worth it. Emulation is nice, but 2D just isn't how these games were designed to be played.

    @@SatoshiMatrix1 I agree. I unfortunately sold mine years ago and never got to play all the titles that were available for it, but the games that I did play were very good. Teleroboxer is a bit short, but lots of fun to play. Mario Tennis is a great use of the 3D effect and never gets old. Red Alarm looks like a mess in screenshots but looks awesome when you're actually playing it, and the controls are great. Galactic Pinball is another one that I would spend hours playing almost every night. My only real gripe about the library is that the fact that it's so small leaves you wanting more. Having only owned 3 games for it (I rented Teleroboxer), I always wanted a little more variety. My favorite thing about the Virtual Boy is the controller. It's probably the most comfortable controller ever made. I also liked the fact that you could swap out the battery module with an adapter that utilized an SNES power cord.

The only difference is that Agnus was made Fat for the Amiga 500 migrating lots of discrete logic from the A1000 into Agnus making a single 'Fat' Agnus package. Otherwise a 1985 A1000 will play Ruff n Tumble just fine with no modifications. (* Late Amiga 500s contain a so called ECS 'Fatter' Agnus)

    Pixel Vixen buggy os, amount of RAM, shape, price. I never said they were different hardware. A1000 wasn’t affordable and there were nearly no games. Again, A1000 was priced way beyond acceptable limit for a gaming system. No customers - no games. A500 was a device bought by many purely as a games console, creating a viable market for games(but until, maybe, 89, primary target still was the ST). That’s the difference.

And that's why they simply couldn't compete with sega and nintendo. Then once Sony playstation came out with the black discs for an affordable price it was officially game over for any up and coming competitors, except for Microsoft of course.

    I think that 3DO should have encouraged developers to put exclusive content in the 3DO versions of their games, like an exclusive level, item, game mode, boss battle, or playable character. I think that would have helped them sell so many more consoles and games. They might have actually been able to survive for a full console life cycle that way(which is typically 5 or 6 years), and we may have actually seen the M2 get released.

    The Amiga was quite capable, and there's a whole bunch of hidden and not so hidden gems on that. For the 80's home computers, I would argue that that's probably the best one for games. Sure, there's competition, and there are plenty of games that were not released on it, but just generally speaking, the Amiga makes a pretty good showing.

    Believe a few jackass American KZreadrs who have zero knowledge of the Amiga and you might think there's nothing to miss out on. Look at the world objectively and you'll realise you've been stuck in a tiny bubble your whole life. Go out there and discover what the rest of the world was doing while America was stuck in its own echo chamber.

The individual in-depth reviews for obscure games are certainly well put-together, but knowing stuff like "Rocko's Modern Life for SNES is okay if you already a fan of the show or action puzzlers" is not useful information to many people.

    NICE VIDEO AS ALWAYS DRUNK, I might as well add Jetpac on the ZX Spectrum. That console took forever to load games and the side-scrollers were real slugs, but Jetpac plays tremendously well and tremendously fast! I got to play that on a co-workers ZX Spectrum "mini" that he brought to the office (it was a kickstarter project) in a previous job. I always love it when you name your characters "drunk".

    5:36 "it's pretty much just Doom with a new coat of paint" So like, the Marathon series has the most delightfully overwrought, pretentious plot of just about any game series, even though it plays out over terminal text. Durandal waxes about Hegelian dialectics, and Tycho's breakdowns are pulled straight out of Jung. Anyone who's found the rabbit hole of Undertale's Gaster should definitely look up Hamish Sinclair's Marathon Story Page, because Bungie sure had a different relationship to narrative back then!

    I was the perfect age for when the Virtual Boy came out, so I got lost in the novelty, and really enjoyed my time with the system. Wario was my introduction to the character, and the long levels and second quest gave me something to sink my teeth into. I remember only owning a handful of games, like Mario Tennis, the Mario Bros style game Mario Clash... and I think that might be it?? Lol. I absolutely LOVED the VB controller. It was this weird amalgamation of an NES A and B button layout on a GameCube style body with GC style L and R bumpers... with two D-pads! It was crazy comfortable (unlike the NES or SNES controllers) and I would stick my face in that thing and play for HOURS on end. I even found a way to hold it in my lap and play it hunched over in the back seat of my moms car when we would go on long road trips. 2-6 hour long nonstop VB sessions in a moving vehicle. I couldn’t get motion sickness if I tried lol 😂

    Hey friend, the early Amiga models (such as the glorious 500 one) were pretty popular throughout western Europe. Like you mentioned, there's a lot of mediocre, if not horrible games, however there are numerous good and interesting ones. I have to suggest you Apidya, a surprisingly well made wannabe Japanese shooter, and Traps 'n' Treasures, an incredible puzzle / 2d platformer. Think it as an early Brain like game!
