ColecoVision Part 2 - James & Mike Mondays

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

If you'd like to be able to see my TMNT Mario Paint animation, a fan was nice enough to repost it here. Enjoy! www.vidlii.com/watch?v=PlV2cAO9kf1

[@kevintrejo5714]

Cinemassacre cool

[@tonylenzi166]

The space panic game is sort of a clone of lode runner, except theres no gold to collect

[@brianbruhh8386]

Cinemassacre Damn son that kicks ass

[@Dorelaxen]

Holy shit, Mike. That's amazing.

[@PRdeSO]

guys you totally missed the mark with Tarzan; you need to climb and rescue Cheeta in the cage. you need to do the Tarzan yell by the cage. Same thing with the end screen, you'll figure it out when you get to it.

[@jessyg17]

"I've heard of shapes, yes."

[@CelestialHunter-]

Kindergarten kid be like:

[@Xeo7]

That Cabbage Patch Kids game is pretty damn impressive considering what you can do with it for the time it was released. That blew my mind how advanced it was.

[@MabuseXX]

Not if you look at the coleco hardware......Z80 CPU, Texas Instruments Video Chip, much more ram than the Atari 2600 or Intellivision. It’s an msx before msx.

[@grimTales1]

"Cabbage Patch Kids is the same as Fortnite" - Mike Matei, 2018

[@doctorhandsome]

Just climbin' ladders and diggin' holes for tomato guys. You know, space stuff.

[@ridethelapras]

"Put the toilet next to the Butt!" You don't hear that everyday. Also, 26:41 - Dat Mordecai and Rigby laugh.

[@grownmanrecordnight]

"Butt Toilet" is the hardest I've laughed in a long time.

[@S4ns]

When you two are eighty years old, I hope you're still making Coleco toilet videos.

[@Commander64]

omg James and Mike would be hillarious as grumpy old pensioners playing old games, take me to the future, I wanna watch that now!

[@joshuascholar3220]

I'm so proud of them.

[@ginnrollins211]

@@Commander64 It will be like Grumpy Old Men, but with video games.

[@DOSRetroGamer]

Too bad they stopped collaborating

[@TotallyRadical]

Well, I dont know about you guys, but watching Cabbage Patch characters take a digital dump was the highlight of my day...

[@konstanthayle]

Surprised you didn't try any of the buttons. The other trigger button lets you punch in Tarzan. So you can hit the hunter, open the monkey cage (He detects traps for you after you save him), punch gorillas, and actually play the game. You can jump on snakes/crocodiles to kill them, and you have to time your jumps to swing on the vines. Actually a really fun Colecovision game when you give it a chance.

[@Redhotsmasher]

Sounds pretty advanced for its time.

[@MabuseXX]

They didn’t expect the game being so advanced in gameplay.....

[@benderjo]

You guys are lucky to have such a friendship

[@ubermenschmexa]

26:43 that laugh is the laugh of a friendship that has lasted a lifetime.

[@keithfulkerson]

That Tarzan game had some pretty decent graphics for a home game in 83.

[@parkandharbourcomedy]

Keith Fulkerson I was thinking that

[@stephanel6637]

If they used the 2nd button to punch...it'll be better gaming!!!

[@ZMB-on5ub]

Yo dawg, I heard you like houses, so we put a house inside your house. -Xibit

[@thestwinner680]

"Set the house on the table" is something that could only make sense being heard on _James & Mike Mondays._ ;)

[@gtsrvenom1]

The guy that played Tarzan also knew how to Yodel and created that famous yell. I think they reused his version of the yell for other versions also

[@RockYeahh]

Top ten Colecovision games. NO. 1 Cabbage Patch Kids.

[@Seeker-wq8jc]

Mike killed me in this one. The way he went "TSSSS" when pissing and how excited he was about there being a toilet and then sitting on it and going "PBBBBBT" (beside the word butt, too) made me smile so hard. He understands my level of humor perfectly.

[@bobbysteurer]

“I was showin’ ya how I wanna do it. And now I’m showin’ ya how I’m actually doin’ it.” I feel like that basically describes life in a nutshell.

[@JoshuanKnode]

"Putt the toilet next to the butt" These are adults, people! Lol

[@wiseonewizardry178]

You guys know how to enjoy yourselves. Coleco is a very underrated system. 🍻Cheers keep up the great work!

[@rayceeya8659]

Johnny Weismuller, he was the one who crafted Tarzan's iconic yell. Also there was a Tarzan movie in 1984 called "Greystoke".

[@Cabbitania]

I feel like Mike was way too excited for the toilet. 😂

[@jeffroberts9693]

Space Panic = Lode Runner

[@handsomebrick]

Space Panic is years older.

[@jeffroberts9693]

handsomebrick Yeah I saw that afterwards but I think that was what Mike was thinking to compare it to.

[@joshn2564]

So frustrating as they keep trying to compare the game to Donkey Kong.

[@JustinEvitable80]

I also thought of Lode Runner

[@sonninnos]

Nah, Hektik on C64

[@Untouchaable]

Art at it's finest @26:17

[@bobjones1783]

*its

[@Commander64]

I shouldn't find this funny at 38... but I do.

[@TheZombiePimpernel]

I loved their goofy chuckling as their characters walked towards the toilets

[@OrionsAngel]

I'm surprised that James doesn't know about Tarzan films being that he is such a knowledgeable lover of films. Especially classic films.

[@synaesthesia2010]

i'm surprised Mike's claims he's never heard of Johnny Weissmuller then goes and does a Weissmuller yell

[@OrionsAngel]

Yeah same goes for him.

[@seanmyster6]

craig thomas That's just one of those things that everyone knows about even if they're unaware of what it's originally from, like the "IT'S ALIVE!!!" line from Frankenstein.

[@Gohan1138]

that wasn't his expertise tho- he was really into the toho Godzilla films as a kid growing up, hence why he skipped power rangers as a kid- so yeah theres your answer

[@HIDHIFDB]

He is more in to sci-fi and horror movies.

[@OrangeHarrisonRB3]

That cabbage patch game stole the show. Simple mindless fun

[@fobpatrol]

"Why would you even go up there". Goes up there. Dies.

[@positivecynik]

We totally had "Trap-a-Zoid" back in the day, and it is exactly how you described it. We had it on our Tandy CoCo2.

[@Galagaboy]

that pepper 2 game is like "Qix" on rails meets "Pacman"

[@5star555555555]

Or Amidar

[@Michael-bl4no]

Thats what I thought too

[@liquidpig]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@CaptainVideoBlaster]

Wait, they don't know that the classic Tarzan yell is Weissmuller's?

[@TotallyRadical]

What a fun episode! Had lots of fun watching this week. Lots of great games played...well except Tarzan, anyways 😉👾🤣

[@TheRealNormanBates]

(harumph) well i thought TARZAN was fun...

[@TotallyRadical]

Monroville hey that's cool! To each their own. Which game did you like the least this episode?

[@TotallyRadical]

Monroville If I'm being honest Squish 'em Sam seemed like a bit of a mixed bag too.

[@stephanel6637]

Tarzan is super fun... they just didn't used the second button on the controller to punch !!!

[@419Films]

I find that funny. They don't know Olympian Johnny Weissmuller (the actor most associated with Tarzan), but they know the yell that he made famous. :-)

[@marcelthoma8890]

Space Panic is like a link between Heiankyo Alien and Lode Runner in evolution of video games. And Tarzan looks pretty amazing for its time: colored background, multiple screens, many colors on the screen at once and hero with different movements.

[@KarlBaron]

So I thought Space Panic was a Lode Runner clone, but the arcade version of Space Panic actually pre-dates Lode Runner (although the Coleco version came out the same year)

[@mauriciovater4858]

COLECO VISION is Revolutionary --> That's it! Great Console.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

I loved Microsoft 3D Movie Maker as a kid. I made so many movies with that, I wore the disc out, lol. I also liked Simpsons Cartoon Studio, but that didn't give you as much freedom.

[@tlaloc92]

Never heared of Johnny Weismuller ? Come on guys, this was THE Tarzan, ex-swimmer, the one that made famous the shout.

[@ScottWozniak]

Kind of shocked that a movie buff like James didn't know who Johnny Weissmuller is! 😳

[@grimTales1]

That surprised me as well.

[@murderface1628]

Yeah it's quite common for people to know about every actor from a hundred years ago

[@ScottWozniak]

It is, for MOVIE BUFFS. Not just "people." Stop trying to be so edgy.

[@pakasack]

murder face um not a hundred years ago...

[@frankschneider6156]

He doesn't know a lot about video games, so why should he know more about movies ? He probably hasn't heard of Peter Cushing either.

[@kigirudrewko4767]

Oh! I'M SWINGING, I'M SWINGING! *Together* aaAAAAaAAAAAAA!!

[@TotallyRadical]

The part was so awesome and so funny they dragged the call out considering he swung for exactly one second 😂

[@hfric]

Do more . ColecoVision games ,where never covered by most of retro gamers on YT ... thinking they are in the same ball league as Atari 5200 , but as shown... they are more advanced and sprite based.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

We heard you like living so we put a house in your house so you could live where you live.

[@mamasteakmilk]

Is this 2007 again?

[@Psychol-Snooper]

2009 actually. And here's a 1997 emoticon as an added feature. :-)

[@TravestyJunction]

I live inside

[@Ten80pete]

Damn. Here I thought I was the only one thinking that. "Yo dawg, I heard you like houses, so we put a house in your house next to House M.D. stocked with copies of Animal House."

[@risksrewardsrelics51]

I had Pepper II as a kid. Great game!

[@Kiernan5]

Some really great games for Coleco were Miners 2049er, Jumpman Junior and Gorf

[@oaf-77]

26:09 the sound of pure excitement

[@Pikachu132]

The arcade game Mike is thinking of is Amidar, but Pepper II was an arcade game as well, it's not a Colecovision original. Pepper II was a lot rarer than Amidar (and the only home port it got was this one for the Colecovision), but considerably more involving, and is generally thought of as better.

[@Michael-bl4no]

Thanks guys, I just picked up a Colecovision a few weeks ago and Pepper 2 was one of the games it came with. Not a bad mashup of Qix and Pac-Man. Also, the Super Action Controller isn’t bad at all. Can you guys make a list of your top 10 Colecovision games please? Great show and always enjoy AVGN.

[@chrismyghostwriter]

Johnny Weismuller was an Olympic swimmer before becoming Tarzan. There's an old hotel in San Diego that you can stay at that he used to train at called The Lafayette. It's pretty cool...check it out if you're ever down there.

[@thewizardmountain]

"put the toilet next to the butt! and I'm gonna go in the toilet!!!!" classic.

[@renswisse]

Surprised you guys knew nothing about Johnny Weissmüller. He was not just the actor on whom most modern cinematic interpretations of Tarzan are based, including introducing the idea of the yell, but also a professional swimmer and Olympic Gold medalist.

[@grantorino2325]

Not only that, but we owe Tarzan's now-iconic yell to him. (The original novel only said that he "loudly screamed.) Before becoming an actor, though, Weissmuller was an accomplished YODELER, and used that skill when he affected Tarzan's "call to the beasts."

[@jeenkzk5919]

You mentioned Johnny Weissmuller. I'm related to him by marriage. He had a cousin named Adam who married my great grandmother. By the way, after Weissmuller, Buster Crab played Tarzan

[@DSan-kl2yc]

Doesn't that make you just regular related to him. Distantly tho

[@edhc44]

So you're basically Tarzan's son, neat

[@GenerationWhyProductions]

The Tarzan game was from 1984, not 1982 like Mike kept saying. So the game there were playing wasn’t based on the ‘81 Film, but was in fact based on the ‘84 Christopher Lambert movie that James mentioned.

[@mark-andrews]

The Atari 7800 joypad shown in this video is the standard 7800 controller for 7800 machines released in Europe, back in the day. Space Panic, a great port of a classic arcade game, Pepper II, another great game, it is a port of an old Exidy coin op. I guess you guys don't have the boxes for Space Panic, or Pepper Ii. The front image of lots of Colecovision boxes typically has a picture of the arcade cabinet for the game, with a prominent statement, in large, highlighted text stating how the game plays like the arcade game.

[@Commander64]

lol *Mike was so excited when he started swinging* ! loving these ColecoVixion vids! never had one, but really wanna play on one!

[@adrienfourniercom]

seriously guys..... you don't know Johnny Weissmuller???? I don't believe you. What? Really? Whao. He is THE Tarzan. You kidding? Come on! Good joke.

[@randomloser4674]

adrienfourniercom Wasn't he like an Olympic gold medalist or something?

[@adrienfourniercom]

He was a pro-swimmer won a tone of thing, but everybody know him for Tarzan, the series with the iconic shout (I don't know if Weissmuller did it) In a book, I read that Cheatah was called like it because the crew on the set used to play poker with her and she cheated!! I don't think that was true.

[@patbrown911]

Yes, he was the one who created the shout.

[@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy]

Yeah for an apparent movie buff to not know that isn't great.

[@MabuseXX]

I am very disappointed by mike not knowing Johnny Weissmüller (yeah, with an ü not an u).....be was born in Romania.

[@BriansManCave]

Looks like they tried to push the limits of the system with that Tarzan game!

[@MabuseXX]

Not really. Tarzan is compared to zaxxon or other coleco games technically not that impressive (static screen, not many objects on screen).

[@fragmentalstew]

I guess James and Mike are not familiar with Lode Runner.

[@unclesporkums]

Loved James' reaction to Space Panic. Had fun watching Mike play it on the stream

[@kancerman]

Qix is what you're thinking of, Mike

[@TheShook50]

Wow, surprised to hear about the old Tarzan movies on here, my dad used to rent them movies and I watched them and enjoyed them as a kid, still remembered the name Johnny Weismuller somehow

[@crisdes7260]

when i was a kid in school, we had that Trap-A-Zoid game (along with Odell woods/lake, carmen sandiego, etc) for the classroom computer.

[@alyeakitty]

Bringing back so many good memories of Q-Bert, Ladybug, Looping, Gorf, Mr. Do, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Zaxxon...

[@ItsJason412]

James and Mike Mondays is the most entertaining content on KZbin . Everyone should SMASH that sub button for @cinemassacre and @cinemassacreplays.

[@Highretrogamelord]

15:01 I'm pretty sure Mike means Amidar.

[@davidanderson3168]

I had it for Atari

[@toddbronaugh6382]

26:42 I love their giggling here

[@mondomoleno.3404]

That coloured COLECOVISION logo was a slap right in the childhood. Hit me hard, man. I had Space Panic & Pepper II, and they were both fun. Those and Buck Rogers were my favourites. We also had Donkey Kong Jr, but damn was it hard. In hindsight, I suspect it was because of the controller. The Smurfs also had a game like Cabbage Patch Kids that was almost identical. I think they used the same basic assets, but the house was a mushroom house.

[@LindaTheGAMERGal]

Loved the ending.

[@matolcsgyula]

I'm starting to thing James and Mike would really like Garry's Mod, seeing how much fun they had with Cabbage Patch Kids

[@elvis765]

Wow Johnny Weissmuller in a video who would have thought I could drop my knowledge he was a gold medal swimmer and does some in a few of the Tarzan movie between that and the Three Stooges my dad ruined my brain....both worth watching for a laugh 😬

[@Shmover34]

That turd looking cyclops character James whipped up in Cabbage patch kids killed me. Great video

[@RobiticDuck]

Collectorvision and Team Pixel Boy makes great Colecovision MSX ports and original homebrew games.

[@mr2foryou]

The Cabbage Patch Kids section is the funniest thing I have watched in a long time! Thanks James and Mike

[@joshuaarmstrong377]

That ladders in space part made me think of the whole space elevator concept

[@jmoreno600]

Let's hear it for the Connecticut Leather Company!

[@Seantendo]

People hated that 1981 Tarzan movie. So I guess it wasn't a good time for Tarzan. I'm gonna squish 'em!

[@odaddy47]

Bobby Peru I remember BooBs

[@Divancic418]

give us a part 3!

[@lucvaillancourt8580]

Holy nostalgia. I remember all of these from playing at my buddy's house.

[@CoraCat13]

I love when they visit older systems, like the Colecovision and Intellivision. It feels like getting to witness a neat little bit of history not well explored.

[@320zombie]

Calmly talking....*Tarzan scream*...continues to calmly talk..love it

[@metallon1984]

Seriously James? You really don't know Johnny Weissmüller? I mean, this guy is a legend!

[@SammeLagom]

I really like the graphics on the CV ^_^

[@leroyvisiongames2294]

ROFLING at the immaturity that was your Cabbage Patch Kids game review.

[@rayceeya8659]

You guys are having way too much fun with that cabbage patch game

[@MegaPhester]

YES! The Spider-Man make your own movie software was so good! I remember the Danish voices "Min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... "

[@robertgijsen]

I never played the Cabage Patch Kids paint game, but as a kid I had Smurf Workshop on Colecovision, which seems to be the exact same game but with Smurfs sprites. Great times with that ☺️

[@thestwinner680]

That thing coming down in the second screen of _Tarzan_ was the Dark Pixel Pixie -- they call him Color Cody, he's a relative of the Glitch Gremlin's.

[@Bladeoceanic]

ColecoVision, this is gonna be a fun afternoon.

[@Firebert]

Did not expect to see James and Mike shitting on toilets in a Colecovision game today. But here we are.

[@peeclairbakerabdl]

Cabbage Patch Kids for this is just like Minecraft.

[@DJReflect]

I hope James never stops making videos.

[@Cato229]

In the 80's, half of everything had the word "SPACE" in the title. It was done to seem futuristic, like "SUPER" or "2000" in 90's. Those all caps caught your attention, didn't they? That's called marketing, baby!

[@coltonharland2273]

Got all the old Tarzan movies on VHS grew up with them there great.

[@Arjak2]

ColecoVision: Come for the games, stay for the Cabbage Patch Kids machinima!

[@sohatyi]

The record for the most film in a series with the same lead actor is held by Kwan Tak Hing who starred in the Wong Fei Hung series which ran for 115 movies.

[@silverwings21]

19:52 Oh, I remember that, I also had that Spider-man make your own movie PC game.

[@DSan-kl2yc]

silverwings21 the cartoon animated series one? Cause I had thst too

[@silverwings21]

D. San Yup, that's the one.

[@gatedemon1]

Johnny Weissmuller did the best tarzan call ever:D but he also got mad at the end he thought he was really tarzan

[@charles_van_doren]

James talking about movies is everything

[@Guernicaman]

I love my Colecovision!

[@Goldtiger142003]

Space Panic reminded me of a game I fondly remembered; Heiankyo Alien. It's a similar premise in that you dig holes and bury aliens alive.

[@detritus10001]

Old 'Zan falling into random graves. Terrifying concept. 'Nam flash... well, forwards, I suppose. Christ. Mike has had at least one really bad fever dream trapping some goddamn 'zoids in his youth. Thank God you've healed, son.

[@mathers1980]

It's so accurate to space that the astronauts trained on this game!
