Classic Game Room - TELE-GAMES CENTER review

[@GamingPalOllieMK]

Amazing video the fact it was filed outside on a sunny day makes it feel so nostalgic somehow

[@gtrzdaddy]

Good to see Stella is back! Yay!

[@plurp7]

so good to see Stella again!! what a good pup

[@static_anachromatic]

So simple, yet so fantastic! Mark can make the shortest review long! :D

[@rameybutler5924]

i always wanted one of those for christmas, back in the day. drooling over the sears toy catalog.lol

[@Adamchevy]

Man I love your old Videos Mark, so creative!

[@Barla90]

It's always nice to see Stella once again!

[@Ziggy7800Pro]

Glad to see your Dog in a Video again....Great stuff always makes my day better to see you and CGR undertow reviewing gaming stuff, Thank you sir.....

[@ShamrockParticle]

The speaker grille on the Telegames just glistens in the sunlight. Bet lots of dust bunnies loved it in there too!

[@Dad1972hthorn]

This is so sweet . Need that center storage for my 2600. It must be actually quite rare because its very rarely u see one out on my classic game searches.

[@InsaneWayne355]

Wow. I remember having one of these a kid. Sears was our Gamestop.

[@Adamchevy]

Woodgrain needs to come back in style. This video makes me want to go polish my telegames video arcade right now!

[@DgamerAA]

He makes watching a tele-games center for 3 minutes and 23 seconds amazing

[@TheFutureIsPrimitive]

Stella cameo! Love these old organizers. Very stylish.

[@MarneusAndMilkyBlood]

Man, this stuff looks awesome. I'm always up for some Atari 2600 related reviews ! You should do a Tele-Games special episode !

[@HoosierLine]

I have that same game box and is used for my Colecovision system and games... Surprise to see that these are still around :-)

[@xbatusai]

Mark could've reviewed his dog poop and still would make it look awesome and you most likely would've wanted to play with it.

[@ColtGColtG]

any review with stella is a great review indeed

[@Matrilwood]

I saw one of these for sale a few years ago, didn't know what it was so I just left it >_

[@hockeyplaya131]

Now that you mention it, it really did. Surprised I didn't notice that before myself.

[@NightSlashX]

Impressive find, Mark. Never seen one of those before.

[@stashmerkin9576]

Been too long since we've seen Stella! I had the Tele-Games version of the 2600 as a kid, but never saw...The Center. That wood grain is Colt .45 Lando! Modern consoles just can't compare in style.

[@ionmyke]

I got one of these plus the system for $5, and the goodwill worker didn't realize that the delicious center was completely filled with games.

[@georgepatton8693]

Yes! Stella is back!

[@millgiass]

That wood grain finish is slick.

[@GeoNeilUK]

You missed the bit where he talked about download services not being around 35 years later (once the download service closes down, everything you bought from it is gone, same if you lose the login details to your account or stop paying the subscription fee if there is one) Also physical media (carts, discs, tapes) will play in any console (all you have to worry about then is the media failing, which can happen, especially with discs and tapes)

[@NihilistSolitude]

looks like the one i trade in at digital press over a year ago, it even had similar crack on the dust cover

[@ToothlessGTI]

I have one of those and I love it! Screams retro with the Atari 2600 parked on top lol!

[@yorgle11]

Yep. Back at the time, if you wanted Sears to sell your product, it had to have their branding on it. So Atari consoles sold at Sears were "Sears Telegames" instead. They even did it with game cartridges. Many of the early first-party games have a Sears version - the games are identical but the label and titles are different. Example: "Maze Craze" and "Cops 'n Robbers" are the same game other than the label.

[@GamingPalooza]

very nice stuff man, love this stuff

[@TheGrayWolf81]

There was a guy at a flea market I went to today that was selling this with a whole number of games and the Tele-Games system itself with several controllers for $60. I'm so mad at myself for not picking it up now.

[@hamish124]

how do get your grass so green. can you please make a video on lawn care so mine can look as good

[@mink03]

wait, did I miss where you got this? amazing find

[@thomasstodghilliv]

Yay, Stella is back!

[@slevemcdichael5274]

I found a Sears Tele-Games Center with the console and everything in a local store going for $50. Is that a good price?

[@KevinTwiner]

I still have mine loaded and awsome! Actually collecting dust since I started Defiance mmo! Ps3

[@moviereviews4life]

this was my first game system & storage unit

[@tokyoexpressway]

I love the part where you just tossed the dust cover to the side lol

[@tetsuo3011]

I may have seen this thing sometime in the early 90's at my aunts house. I was looking for games I could play on my Genesis and she showed me something like this, it belonged to one of my much older cousins. At the time I had no idea what those games were, but now I know they were Atari games. I asked around recently but no one knows what happened to them or that case.

[@RocKnight11]

Pennsylvania has been having some really nice weather lately....

[@Adamchevy]

The good old days! They were soooo good!

[@khallesh]

your dog is awesome, I wouldn't mind seeing it more

[@mekdra]

Reviews al aire libre que bien pensado XD otra genialidad de Mark

[@reezdog]

i am sure you can get one of the wood grain decals to cover your consule.

[@Labruskie]

I thought CGR was in space on some sort of station or something... Has it got garden pods like that Silent Running movie?

[@SAerror1]

What games were included with your dog? You should review those!

[@themrturtletech]

will you be doing reviews on the upcoming android consoles? ouya, gamestick, etc

[@viet411]

Stella is back!!! :D

[@Pleaseunderstand]

Oh man, I love the music

[@yandman26]

That is awesome, lovely looking dog too

[@therangersrule68]

it's the bio dome section of the station. Looks very convincing, doesn't it?

[@codiepereira636]

that's cool I'm just a kid and I have an atari 2600 it's cuntroler ports was broken I fixt it by putting card bord inside under neath the ports

[@Sinistar24]

Gotta miss those days of wood grain systems and large console tv's

[@DuckiesUnite]

How do you get your grass so green? Tell me how!

[@Mrandreson8]

Silly Mark is back!!!

[@vladimirantonoski7588]

I love it how he speaks as if he is sarcastic (I am actually still not sure if he is or isn't in certain situations)

[@waroverlord]

Your grass looks quite nice and well groomed

[@CornishCreamtea07]

This needs to be on the Discovery channel.

[@P4INKiller]

It emits electromagnetic waves that are in the visible green spectrum into my eyes; for all intents and purposes, it's green. If you want to argue how it's not true green, you could do that with every aspect of how we perceive reality.

[@Adamchevy]

Reminds me of my parents wood paneled station wagon.

[@Matrilwood]

Stella needs to be in more videos, like she used to~

[@TheCosmicPineapple]

nice shoes, Mark. What are they?

[@hristaki99]

Isn't that the best intro ever?

[@dcashley303]

They have grass at the inter-galactic space arcade!?

[@kroser1983]

combat was one of my favs, and i thought the smurfs had great graphics at the time

[@kyloctopus]

Mark's Neighbor: What you doing today Marco? Mark: Its Mark and I'm playing Sega Rally with my real car wheel.

[@gtPacheko]

ME TOO! WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

[@SmoothCriminalAaron]

"What is that guy doing in his yards?"

[@TheAtari7800Junkie]

I wanna see reviews of Piece O'Cake and Raft Rider!

[@Drakelx55]

I didn't find a Tele Games Center but I found an Atari 2600 with a really beat up Atari Game Center, the lid is really badly cracked and the gold label is peeling a bit but yea it sits on my desk with my Atari 2600

[@BrunaoCogumelo]

old, but gold!!

[@kanen100]

Yo mark ma hommie this is nosferatu! You should do a video of your Atari 2600 collection. That would make my face happy. I think Mac Shrek would be a happy individual

[@Jamman88888]

chef excelence is an expert is space arcade too now? this is a whole new market

[@Tony240zt]

Nice purchase, hopefully you got a great deal, too.

[@malikhorton3537]

Do a review on all these

[@trulygg]

You should review the dog and tell us if the gameplay is any good.

[@GuyAPerson]

I think "Name This Game" is actually fairly rare.

[@Gingerzilla]

I agree, that is some great grass.

[@GeoNeilUK]

The swing towards download-only games makes me wonder what the retrogaming scene will do in the future with the likes of iOS and Android gaming, though I see Apple and certainly Google being fairly permanent and I don't think APKs bought from Google Play are DRM'd and not that difficult to rip once you root the device, DLC for consoles might be a bit harder though but I'm sure there's people working on those as we speak...

[@kroser1983]

Atari 2600.....my very first computer, I had this version

[@SwaggerDolphin1]

Might be getting one of these from ebay

[@skeletal13]

Had one of these!

[@marcelovlt]

The dog is compatible with the Vectrex?

[@Lyricoholic]

I wish something like this beautiful Thing could exist Today for the PS or the XBox

[@mllarson]

You should check out Ben Heck's That's 70's XBOX, where he modded a 360 to look like an Atari (sort of).

[@inclinebench]

LIKED the video for the dog :)

[@pdromero09]

The dog is the real star of the video.

[@Diskoboy1974]

My dog had a woodgrain finish in the 70's.

[@RichardHollowayGaming]

I want your lawn! (its green)

[@then8mac]

you should see his wood grained elcamino.

[@Sharpstoned]

Holy fuck its nice where CGR lives still cold out here.

[@P4INKiller]

That grass, it's greener than it has any business to be.

[@mendyc158]

So, the Telegames plays Atari 2600 games? And which people recommend? Atari 2600 or Telegame? Because I want to buy a Atari and dont know which :D

[@aztr0zombie]

Wish my lawn looked that good.

[@MaximRecoil]

That's not just ordinary simulated walnut, that's simulated walnut *burl*. If you're going to simulate wood grain, you might as well go all out and simulate the stuff they use in Rolls-Royces.

[@jakethekaratedude200]

you are amazing you are my hero mark!

[@claytonbegley8865]

Can anyone tell me if a Sears telegames Atari 2600 an ok model to buy for $40?

[@grisfest2000]

this video made me happy

[@bakerdoze]

Looks cool.

[@theawesomegamr]

i agree. and it cant be a limited edition or anything. ps4 needs to be woodgrain!
