9 Plug n Play TV Games Compared

[@LGR]

Looks like the Space Invaders TV game is going for the original arcade game look, minus the plastic overlay. That's exactly how it looks on original hardware without the plastic on top of the cabinet's screen, which added artificial color to the monochrome aliens :) But yeah, awesome video! I forgot how many of these things existed and how many of them I've owned, this is a fascinating topic! I'd love to see more about how these even came to be, and why so many came out in the early 2000s.

[@MotherBEARmakes]

It looks a lot like the Space Invaders I used to play on my Gameboy Classic when I was young. Also, hi Clint!

[@TheBrokenLife]

I actually bought a few of these when they were new, and the logic of why they were coming out was that everyone of my age range (I was 21 in 2000) had fond memories of the games and want to play them, but retrogaming wasn't really a thing yet and most people didn't want to go to flea markets and swap meets to find the stuff. We just went to Walmart on a Saturday night, bought one of these and a case of beer, and good times were had. It was a set of products that were at the right place at exactly the right time... Or at least that's how I lived it.

(1) Warlords for the Atari paddle is the arcade version, not the 2600. (2) The aliens in "Space Invaders" WERE just one color. Some machines used color overlays to fake color. Later revamps of the arcade machine had legit displays, though. Yes, looks nothing like the actual game.

[@TheFEARSlayer01]

[@Ralph-yn3gr]

I had that 2004 Ms. Pac Man console when I was a kid and thought it was awesome! Mappy is a collect-a-thon. You are a police mouse collecting contraband from the cat burglars. I always thought it was pretty fun. We played that thing so much we actually wore out the joystick to the point it barely worked anymore.

[@mightydegu]

Regarding the flashback 2, most of the games you have on your wishlist probably weren't available due to licensing. Activision titles like Pitfall were completely off limits.

[@silverxstar01]

I had the Ms. Pac-Man one as a kid. I don’t think we ever figured out how to steer on Pole Position so we didn’t play it. I only ever played Ms. Pac-Man and watched my mom (aka the Galaga champion) play the rest. Hearing the Mappy music brought back some really good memories of sitting on the living room floor with my sister and watching my mom play. Great video!

[@arthursnyder6935]

You actually have to twist the joystick on that thing to steer the car on Pole Position

[@maxibash]

[@GuerilleroX]

Very interesting, you should make a sequel

[@Penfold8]

What I have noticed with these plug and play is that they are battery hogs. They suck up a lot of battery very quickly. I converted a plug and play to a hybrid where you could plug a wall wart into the plug and play and wouldn't have to worry about batteries. Of course you have to be careful because you don't want batteries in there and then plug in the wall wart because *BOOM*!!

[@The8BitGuy]

Indeed.. the voltage regulators they use are meant to be cheap, not efficient. Some of the units I showed, like the space invaders version, actually have power sockets where you can run them from an adapter. Others, as you state, can be modified.

[@Lone432345]

That's why the invented rechargeable batteries.

[@Penfold8]

Easier said then done when you have small kids that need batteries for everything. My adaptation will allow either batteries or a wall wart provided you don't have the two together.

[@gemstonegynoid7475]

heheh. i had a spongebob and the namco pacman plug and play. they were definitely making little kid me run through a lot of batteries. i actually liked the last game on the namco pacman pnp.

[@nascarsimracing1]

I love watching your videos! I grew up in the 2000's but I wish I could have grown up in the 80's/90s to experience the older games back in their time. Luckily, I have an ORIGINAL Atari along with several joysticks and games. Also I have an old laptop that I put windows xp on so that i can play MS DOS games, such as Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and Duke Nukem 3D, and I take it to school with me. I'm sure I'm probably one of the few if not only kids in my school who takes an old laptop to school and plays MS DOS games on it.

Thats "Doctor" Robotnic. He didn't go 7 years to evil medical school to be called mister. Also the Atari Flashback units don't have the games that defined it because of licensing. All of the good games that you mentioned were licensed to Atari by Sega, Namco, Activision, and so on and so forth. So while it would be great to have those games on the plug and plays it not going to happen without paying licensing fees to their respective companies.

[@derekchristenson5711]

I chuckled at "Mappy... I've never heard of it." I've played Mappy multiple times in arcades, and I've played home versions of it (without looking that up, I think the ColecoVision had one?), and I have NEVER figured out what the hell it's supposed to be about. You play as a mouse thief, I guess? Who robs... trampoline houses? Some day, I'll look up what it's official backstory is, and I'll probably smack my forehead, but it's almost more fun playing it without having any idea WHY the player character is doing the things he(?) is doing.

Seconded that notion. The Radica Genesis consoles are really cheap on eBay (I have seen them go for around $3 to $10), and it would be cool to see it in action. Same for the Flashback 2. That said, for the Radica he'd have to build a new case for it since the cartridge connector won't fit in that tiny case. Alternatively, he could solder an Everdrive cart straight to the pins of the Radica board and basically have an SD loading Genesis.

He's never claimed to even be a "gamer" He's always been a HARDWARE guy, not a software guy

Great reviews... the biggest problem with all of them... No S-Video connection and No ability to hook up a Quality Joystick/Game Pad.. I am hoping in the future... they will re-release all of these with an HDMI connector and Ports to hook up your favorite controllers!!!! 8 bit Guy.. keep rocking the golden Oldies!!

Fuck sake I want an NES!!!!

[@retrogamelord3763]

The Restoration of Dr Who They just released an nes mini, they called it the mini nes...

[@winterdarkraven1173]

Its the NES Classic, but they are impossible to find anywhere

[@Chaos89P]

Even an authentic NES could set you back a couple hundred these days.

[@Malus1531]

Just get a Raspberry Pi. I recently did after being unable to find an SNES Mini and it was surprisingly easy. You get pretty much every console up to N64, the only issue obtaining the ROMs.

Get the cool baby 600 in 1 nes clone 25 bucks good system till you find a original you won't be disappointed

[@piguy2158]

I think the Space Invaders that was being emulated was based off a port from a Tandy computer gaming system we had when I was a kid. It was a cartridge based system. The game would plug into the side of the keyboard...I can't remember too much more about it though.

[@ToddThiner]

[@darrenplaysvideogames423]

I had the Atari 2600 and the Pac Man plug and plays when I was a kid. Had so much fun with them!

[@monococcyx2066]

I can't believe I actually know all the games you listed at the end! I had them all on my C64. I'm I getting old?

[@5688gamble]

Yay, Mean Bean Machine! I loved that game! In fact I have a video on my channel of me playing it and many of its Japanese cousin and its online clone I frequent when I have spare time, an amazing competitive puzzle game that everyone should try! Burying your opponent is so satisfying and scrambling to get your chain done before you get buried gets your heart racing! Almost as fun as my latest adventure!

[@AllFirstHand]

The Ms. Pacman is pretty darn authentic. Lots of Ms Pacman versions, including handheld devices have a different lineup levels than the original. This one is like the arcade version.

[@Grunchy005]

I bought that original Atari a long time ago somehow, it also has Combat which is like the quintessential Atari game. Based on this video I picked up Pacman (specifically for Bosconian), Ms Pacman (specifically for Pole Position, Ms Pacman), the paddle version (with 2 paddles specifically for Circus Atari, another quintessential Atari game). It's all pretty cool but now I got a Retro Pi with an actual arcade-style button set.

[@pb7379-j2k]

Grunchy how could he not like Bosconian?

[@TheRealAmericanMan]

I had the Sega one the Atari one and the first Pac-Man one you showed and I took those on EVERY vacation I went on for most of that decade. That Pac-Man one is an incredible build and I played that thing so much. We also played dozens of hours of Kid Chameleon we had it mapped out with secrets and never finished it

[@alfiestoppani]

I had the Ms Pacman as a kid. Mappy the Mouse was my absolute favourite. I still play it on OpenEMU sometimes.

[@lilsquidgaming39]

Ok story time when I went to a hospital I had to go and stay in a hotel before my operation and this was when memories were just coming to me when I was young so I cant say how old I was but I had the pacman the blue one with other games on it didnt pay attention as I was not as interested as I am now in them but looking back how much I played it I loved it

OMG for a moment I thought your preview image wasn't several controllers but one giant awesome joystick and I nearly came.
