*promote the very important message.

But I'd totally help hot gameboy girl to "get new batteries out of her car" or whatever she wants to call it.

Ugh, I feel old and I am not even mid 30s yet (will be in a few days!


I feel old and I'm not even mid 20s....

It's inconceivable to me that they don't know about floppy disks, Gameboys and vinyl.

I found it interesting that the little boy was more interested in "scratching" than listening to the record They all called them "cd's", so they had some idea what they were, but perhaps weren't familiar with the name.

I'm a bit surprised they couldn't figure out the gameboy.

I heard they are retro-releasing this all the way back to the GameBoy and the 3DO platform.

It's fitting that Tetris was developed in the Soviet Union. You can even see the roofs of the Kremlin on the GameBoy Tetris intro screen.

Pizza shit!

In all seriousness though, I remember very vividly playing the arcade game of TMNT that looked like this:


Then after getting this NES piece of shit for Christmas and ending up getting frustrated as hell trying to make it past that water level. Then finally getting past the water level with a sliver of hp only to find myself in some kind of sick maze of terribleness. THEN when I finally got "TMNT 2:The Arcade Game" I thought "FINALLY the game I'd wanted to play all along!!!" only to end up with this:


Granted that was much closer to the arcade than the first installment, but "The Arcade Game" tacked onto the title let my childhood imagination run wild with the thoughts of the potential for the NES. Perhaps it was true! The original game developers had just never heard of or seen the arcade game because they were Chinese sweat shop programmers, I reasoned. These new programmers surely would stay true to the original gameplay/graphics. Instead of a carbon copy of the game though, I ended up with something that by comparison looked like it should be played on a Gameboy. Alas, another let down.

Still though, the purchase of TMNT2 The Arcade Game was a letdown that would have been an easier blow to handle if it had not been for the piece of shit game that was the original.

Ahh yes, my favorite past time, midi music. I picked up my first cd rom drive and with it, the must have cd game of all time, 7th guest. 7th guest was a SVGA game (That sucker was 8 bit color! 256 colors and some how they pulled off transluscent digital video footage over the back ground) that used Midi for all its music. I discovered the game had an easter egg, the 2nd disc had a red book cd audio track of most of the games soundtrack played on the SCC1 roland board. After hearing just how good these midi files could sound, I quickly got into the world of PC Midi. I upgraded my SBpro to an SB16 multi cd, this monster not only supported the proprietory connector for my cdrom drive, but also an MPU expansion connector for a midi daughter board. The first daughter board I got was creatives wave blaster, but it was pretty weak. I figured out if I wanted a really good midi sound, I would need to plunk down some seriouse cash, and it would probably need to be from roland. So I picked up the roland SCD-15 (I still have that thing! but nothing to plug it into now) and while not quite as good as the dedicated SCC1, it was enjoyable. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJlkz6V0VOQ to hear how it sounded)

I picked up the SBlive as soon as it came out and proceeded to knock several megs of instruments into that sucker as well. I even put together a sound font called musica theoria (its hilarious when I google that now). My thirst for playing with midi music now is dried up now, but I have a sizeable collection of chip music, sound tracks from my fav gameboy/genesis/snes/ps1 (the entire final fantasy 7-9 series is chip music) so I can hark back on old memories of how music evolved over the decades.

College Humor steals videos from youtube now ?

Following the links in the original video, the artist name is Saitone, and he's using two Gameboy, not a Commodore 64. Might want to change your tags accordingly

Which computer games? All of these games are console games (except Tetris, I guess, but that's best known for its NES/Gameboy iteration).

These sorts of games existed well into the 2000s. They just became handheld GameBoy/GameBoy Advance games. In a portable environment I prefer them.

I have a pretty comprehensive console emulator interface set up on my TV that we use a lot when guests come over. The young ones never had much trouble with the older NES/SNES games. What really threw them off were the Atari 2600 games. Make this kid play Yars Revenge or something.

Plleeeeaaase... that's nothing.

Just google 'flight simulator cockpit' and you'll see that the one in the video is practically like owning a Gameboy.

well, this has been outstandingly *gay
I played through most of FF2 and FF3 when I was younger as well as one of the gameboy games, and they were pretty fun, but not as cheesy looking as this, christ.

6AA batteries so you can make it wireless.

Brilliant!

Oh, just got up to the Laser Scope. That is GOLD. I would pay some serious dough to see someone walk around town in one of those things playing their Gameboy.

Ha, I did laugh at "That girl is hotter than a plate... When the waiter brings out a plate and says 'careful this plate is really hot'"

My god, I just went to their website... that would have to be the WORST website I've seen in quite some time.

"I know, let's make it look like an old tv set"
"That sounds good, go for it"
*Some weeks later*
"Here it is"
"Um... the screen is, like, 200 pixels across and high... I have to scroll to read ANY of it the youtube clips don't even fit in it, what the hell were you thinking?
"Well, I, um, wrote it all on an old gameboy, and it looked fine on that."

hehe. i shnagged it from dag's blog and tossed it in my bucket.

i never played pokemon, or anything else, on a gameboy, but i thought it was great anyway. certainly seen enough of those old 8-bit rpg's to recognize the parody.

Hilarious profile GIF! Although I'm exposing my dark secret that I used to play Pokemon on a Gameboy by admitting that I understood all the jokes.
