The Handheld Video Game Console That Started It ALL ... AND FILTH!

[@RadJunk]

Editor Joe here! Sorry for the glitch in the matrix! I made a little mistake editing after being up all night but I hope you all enjoy the video! Don’t forgot though, tickets are on sale for Really Rad Weekend at reallyradweekend.com!

[@ElectroCurmudgeon]

the matrix is real.

@@TritonTv69420 oh nice!

[@NicholasNorway]

I love how much research you put in and of course how beutiful you are 😊

[@boblowes]

That's all wel and good, but have you heard of Really Rad Weekend? It's this November 2nd and 3rd!

[@mattchew7004]

Alls good! It was an awesome video regardless! The nostalgia trips were there 😊

[@BbBb-n9t]

Yall are hustling. KZbin, store, special events. This is how you run a business! I love to see it.

It's a sign we're in the matrix

I thought I was going crazy lol

[@idkmybffjv]

So nice she said it twice.

[@AI_Surfer]

Toby makes the videos so much fun to watch. We need more ‘Shop Mouse’!

[@ericluther8836]

I agree 👍

[@pushitlpvo]

I worked at a mom n pop’ video game store from 94-2001 as my 1st job. What a great experience. Being there as every system dropped and game released in that time. Early E3 days, discounts and bringing new games home every night, having the keys to place and stopping by late to play with my friends on multiple TV’s. I saw everything come out new, from Turbo Duo, N64, PlayStation, Jaguar.. etc, etc. Spoiled 90’s. 😊

[@iReturnV1deotapes]

The cleanup portion was so satisfying. Please post more of shop mouse and you guys just goofing off. It's harkening back to my blockbuster days.

[@PhilsGuitar]

It must be so cool to see/potentially play the old stuff that comes in! Its interesting to see where gaming has been and what the fads used to be

[@Choom2077]

Thank you so much for taking the time to show us all these neat vintage hardware. Especially the Tron game with the intellivoice. Amazing tech for its time.

[@hw2577]

"Mattel Electronics presents... Bee Seventeen Bar-mah...!"

[@Consolous]

I love seeing privately owned game stores like this one and seeing all these rare finds. As someone who grew up with video games and likes to make rock covers of video game themes, I admire what you're doing. Love the way you talk and the videos, hope to visit your store someday

[@jt976evl]

Rad history lessons on Bill Williams and Microvision! Another great video, guys!

[@seeulatergaming385]

As a kid from the 70s and collector of all things video games/arcade from that era - thank you for mentioning our past! I can hear the love in your voice for games from our time. Especially when you were speaking about the Intellivision. Hope to visit your store next time Im near by!

[@gitgeronimo9375]

BTW that rad song playing in the background is “I Like It” by Ya Soos

[@videostash413]

not very good song i must admit

[@justinl9077]

My future BIL had an Intellivision when he started dating my older sister in 1984. I played a fookton of Intellivison games on that. We didn't get a console until 1985, and it was a Colecovision which had superior graphics compared to the Intellivison, but BIL then upped the ante and bought an NES in 1987. I got an NES a few months later and a Sega Master System. BIL then got a Sega Genesis in 1990 which I didn't get til 1993. That was my last console for a long time (and put away) due to being busy with college and work. In late 1990s I got back into it and bought an SNES off ebay, and then PS2, GameCube, Wii, Xbox 360, Xbox One and now Xbox Series S. I wanna buy some classic consoles again. This channel is fueling that. :)

[@vibur]

Real shame the Intellivoice didn't go anywhere. I still have one and the lines from Bomb Squad are regularly quoted amongst my friends.

[@sfighter0085]

Fun vlog, awesome stash. I do have a bit of history with the "Intellivision". I watched the AVGN episode "Double Vision Part 1", one of Atari's best competitors. I then owned a "Plug n' Play" of Intellivision, but probably the best thing I owned of the Intelleivision was a PS2 compilation called "Intellivision Alive". Really showed the staying power that console had. Also never heard of the "Microvision", truly looks like a true relic that predated stuff like the Nintendo Game n' Watch and Game Boy. Also someone obiviously someone didn't like their PS4 to turn it in in that condition. Glad Tobi and you cleaned it and breathed new life to it. Hopefully whoever buys it will show it more love and respect. :)

[@Poc.w]

Keep doing the cleaning videos! All the stories and interactions are great, thanks for the cool videos!

[@DrZaius007]

Best part of the video was the random song starting during the cleaning portion of the video. 🔥🔥🔥sending love from MI

[@WillieTroxler]

It's so great to hear some gaming history. I truly love this channel so much 🩵💙✨⭐💫 you guys a chill bunch and RAD I hope one day I'll go to that game store and meet you guys in person 🙏 I love you guys always!

[@RazielXSR]

in 1982 a Speak N Spell cost $19.99. If Intellivision had gotten with Texas Instruments that voice synthesizer might have been more successful.

[@WrecklessEating]

Recently found the channel. Love the content. Keep it up!

[@RadJunk]

Heck yea, thank you!! 💙

[@SmoothAsUsual47]

Those were really interesting tidbits! I never knew there was a handheld that far back. Keep the knowledge coming 🧠

[@aslamc9288]

I love these slices of video game history, I feel like it’s a very underserved area and I would to see more documentaries on the early days of video games. Great video, your shop looks really cool, and I’m definitely subscribing to your channel!

[@sqrboro]

Love starting my day with a new RadJunk video. 🙂

[@krammis76]

Man i thought i was having a stroke about a minute and half in. :)

[@RadJunk]

Whoopsie… 😅

[@william2960]

lol I was like wait a second

[@darrenmacqueen9884]

I happened to pause the video to do something else right before that clip repeated and then came back to it. I thought I had accidentally re-winded until I saw the comments mentioning it.

[@Mattyisokay]

I have been leaving shorts on for too long because i wasn’t affected by it. Then i read the comments haha

[@kazanyemmi]

Same

[@hw2577]

You could do a "this week's gross console to clean" as its own video series, and it'd probably become a popular feature of your channel.

[@RadJunk]

Crust busters!

[@TooFurious4]

ASMR console cleaning. *HEAVY SCRUBBING NOISES* 😅😅

[@ZombieHunter37]

Just got back from a suprise weekend my wife set up. We went to Plano TX and hit up the Retrocade. A place you pay one price 12 bucks a person and you can play all these vintage arcade games free play style also had a bar. The next day she took me to the National Video Game Museum where you can also play everything from electronic football to Smash Bros. Then that evening she took me to Nerdvana a video game restaurant. They set you up at a table with a console of your choosing NES and up and play as long as you want. Also on a side note their food was on point. They pride themselves for making scratch made dishes and their cocktails were awesome.

[@rjonzun5828]

I had completely forgotten about the Microvision! Wow. Thanks!

[@rippedgeek]

How have I never seen this channel before!? I love it, and would sell my left kidney to see it in person. A bit of a distance from New Zealand, but I'll make a plan in the next couple of years...

[@jesusramirez4537]

good show. man. fascinating. u know, when I was a kid atari and lcd handheld games were like ps5

"BEEEH SEAVENTIIN BAUMMER” -AVGN

new fan, awesome stuff and really nice store. love the content

[@daviddonnell2153]

This is the first time I have watched one of your videos while I was on youtube looking at other youtubers, you popped up and I figured I would check you out

[@spiritchild9101]

That talking module was interesting. I remember NES double dribble saying “double dribble”, and then later NES three stooges with much more talking and attempted digitized 8 bit graphics. I was very impressed.

[@mission3479]

there's nothing more stressful than taking apart a console or computer and seeing if it still works when you put it back together

[@NineteenEightyFive]

Fun video! The further we get away from this old tech, I'm starting to just marvel that it works at all. Amazing.

[@ranchytuna1518]

love the channel so much keep up the great content!

[@inspica380]

Thought I stroked out there for a minute. I had to rewatch the beginning a couple times just to make sure.

[@rong8955]

Wow what a Rad way to start my week. Thanks for a another great video. You and shop mouse have the vibe.

[@alexbain87]

I kind of love this channel. I wish this store was in my area lol 😅 I had an Intelevision when I was a kid. My dad and I played Lock’n’Chase and BurgerTime together all the time.

[@KingZarkon]

Stumbled upon this video and seen something new. Thanks and just subscribed.

[@cyrilbarcelon7033]

Love your videos. Helps me relax and just miss the old gaming days. And you are so cute I am already a big fan. Love your shops as well I wish I can visit 1 day

[@alicantunc]

I think this channel is the best channel ever on youtube

[@justinl9077]

Y'all should put larger holes in the PS4 case (curling iron or soldering gun), paint it lunar grey and dub it the "cratered moon edition" and sell it for $600 as a Radjunk store special edition. Nothing wrong with a "rough" product, as they do exist and bargain hunters won't mind if a little bit of dough is knocked off the sales price, but just pay 30 percent less or so upfront for it.

[@vizualeyes619]

Hey did you guys see gamestop is going "retro"? They are going to start having retro sections in the stores selling older systems and games. I will always go to smaller local shops either way.

[@Dilvamp90]

love this channel I'm in the UK but man are you guys a chill bunch and quite RAD might I add

[@m3ntalify]

Fun video this time. Thanks for the ride! :)

Cool Ghost shirt. What a great band!

[@-pancakes7205]

I would love to visit this store and pick up something but I would never want to go to Florida.

[@darkridearts]

I need to get an Intellivision and some games. I’ve really enjoyed discovering the 2600 and 7800 through the 2600+ and getting a small collection going. It was all before my time but many of the games are still fun today.

[@GameFreak4Ever]

My buddy from the UK sent me the Microvision. I still have it after so many years. Same year I was born.

[@3DJapan]

I had an intellivision in the late 80s that I got from a yard sale. I only had a few games but I liked Microsurgeon.

[@Mattressinsptr]

You brought back memories of the Intellevision Intellevoice. It was quite cool at the time. Not so much now .Thanks

[@Dazlidorne]

I remember being amazed when I first played Ghostbusters on the C64 and it screamed out Ghostbusters! Didn't even require extra hardware. Seems trivial now, but back in the day, it was amazing to hear a computer talk.

[@kj197734]

Maybe Milton Bradley had the Microvision with interchangeability in 1979, but technically we had Mattel Auto Race in 1976 and Mattel Football in 1977 beforehand.

[@ryuhoshu3303]

That's it I'm subscribing, you gals are too fun to watch

[@vortexspinner4470]

Yeah! Waay before Nintendo etc.. Had many of the old handhelds..All the best were VFD. Full colour..The LED invader game's and "Merlin" were memorable too.😉

[@stashmerkin9576]

Thank you for showing off the Microvision! I had one back in 79 and played the hell out of it. I always wanted the Star Trek game for it but alas never got.

[@BusyAir]

Microvision has an LCD screen which are prone to outgassing. The only ones that still work have been stored in ideal conditions. Even those units will eventually outgas due to glue deterioration.

[@Adam-hh5xl]

Two minutes in and I'm seven again! Intellivision was my preferred over Colecovision and Atari back in those days. An uncle of mine had the Microvision then he gander down down to an older cousin before it disappeared so I never got my hands on it, too busy playing Pong! Love your channel especially the older retro stuff from the early 80's.

[@Orangesherbz]

My uncle had the Intellivision with voice and I remember playing B17 bomber which was pretty cool at the time. Didn't realize it was so expensive, the feature was neat but not mind blowing

[@shawnpatrick1877]

I never knew about the first portable console that used cartridges. That's pretty cool. Before that, there were portable single games like the Mattel Electronic Football game and other sports games that followed. I remember in the early 80s having some of the "portable," Coleco table top games and a couple of driving games that were built like small arcade cabinets. The driving games were actually mechanical with some electronic lights and sound effects. I also had a 1980 knock-off handheld Space Invaders game made by Entex. It was hilariously called Space Invader without the S on the end, and completely unlicensed.

[@RadJunk]

Space invader (the one you’re talking about) is actually a favorite around here!

[@ginokappadonna]

😂 Where the heck did my circle-circle cable gooo?... Fresh A Cappella !

[@eyodir]

Always a great idea to crack open something that a smoker owned. One fella I used to plays games with (turbo pothead/smoker) took a picture of his computer build; it looked like it was growing a sweater made of coal inside. Neat channel.

[@Skuggi88]

great to hear some gaming history. @9:16 hits hard when you were born in the early 80's😆

[@gregchandler900]

Great video today!! 😃

[@leathermetal]

What I find most interesting was the Tron games name was solar sailor 👍 💯🤔 pretty interesting

[@rvfiasco]

What a dream life!! Thanks for sharing the radness!!!

[@JonPlays2490]

i can thank the angry video game nerd for most of my retro knowledge. when he did the intellivision, he spoke about that voice module thingy. double episode with colecovision it's fun listening about all these old, retro consoles and seeing what they led to. Also, i dont know how that microvision plays, but makes me think of tiger electronics games to answer your question at the end....not sure about least fav console but least fav controller...N64. that killed any hype i had on that console. except some... like Shadows of the Empire. that had a decent control layout

[@shnicegaming]

I appreciate the Bill Williams history lesson lol sounds like he was an interesting dude❕

[@chaukenschmiede7371]

Even some tidbits missing from my collection. Neat.

[@Just_Falcon5446]

I like the shoutout to forgotten/unknown developers.

[@ShaneSaw911]

I grew up with Intellivision Loved that console. I am driving to Biloxi later this month. Now I want to visit the store.

[@Mlogan11]

One of the very first handheld video games was the Mattel Classic Football which came out in '77. It was just one game and not programmable though.

[@Incaensio]

You guys are cool. Subscribed 🤜🤛

[@lerajie666]

I have been looking for a working intellevision. One of my favorite consoles, as a kid. Triple Action and AD&D were the best!!!

[@WordAte]

I remember when Intellivoice came out. We got it to play B-52 Bomber. "Watch out for flak." It was a big deal for an 8 year old.

[@spaztekwarrior]

Still have mine. Works great and I have 6 games. I actually preferred LED games and VFD games, but it was unique for the time. :)

[@Chris24Ali]

I always loved B17 Bomber using the Intellivision voice synthesizer.

[@shaolin95]

Awesome fun video as usual 😂

[@tankgrrl]

Thank you, Cyberpunk Emma Stone. Now I have yet another handheld to chase. 😄 Seriously, only recently discovered your channel and it is indeed rad!

[@Ben610]

I found a modern recreation of the Merlin handheld game for iOS called Myrddin. It cost 99 cents so no ads. It has that nostalgic hit with the same sounds. Especially when playing music maker.

[@40kEvilEd209]

I TOTALLY owned one of those old handhelds! I sort of remember a Tetris clone coming out for that, but maybe that isn’t true.

[@LunchboxFamily765]

Just Subscribed 🙂🙂👍

[@savageseth.]

I just want to commend radjunk and this channel for keeping older games and console relevant. They have much more drive and passion than most all of us to do this. Cheers! And thank you 😊

[@janolopez7436]

Thanks for the good info about gaming history much appreciated - any change to see the 3DO from Panasonic, please

[@Peanutdenver]

Very cool store, I'm bummed you're not around the corner. I live in SoCal and I'm not close to any decent gamer's store. Nice vids tho.

[@chakroc]

After seeing that PS4, I would make it a prerequisite to make sure your tetanus shots were up to date before 'going in' some of those trade-ins. Also, I'm old enough that I had an Atari 2600/5200 and Commodore64. As crusty as they look today, back then, we loved them. And trust me, for folks old enough to have been there, the most awe inspiring moment in video games, was EASILY seeing/playing the original NES, and seeing how far advanced that was from the old Atari systems. Good times!!!

[@cabe_bedlam]

Thats a lot of chaos for just two people! :)

[@CurbAppealLLC]

Growing quickly on youtube!

[@RetroGamingNook]

I can smell that system through the TV, and that’s after vacuuming it out. Drop a few fabric softener sheets in that thing and seal it in a bag then swap out new ones every week… after a few months it may not stink enough to sell. Good luck!🍀

[@voxhumana2able]

Love the Ghost shirt! 👻 🤘

[@mezel29]

I love that old computer voice style 👍🏻 it needs to be brought back in certain games

[@ScotteM]

Shop mouse is adorable trying to get that PlayStation to work under fear of repercussions for buying it 😅. Id love to see some informal tournaments at the bar, I think that would make a good video. Least fav console, any Xbox.

[@TritonTv69420]

You guys would do great in Denver too.

[@davidfernandez4851]

I loved MAZE-A-TRON on the Intelevision when I was a kid. Now I'm a working game dev. RAD.

Fascinating stuff, thanks

Goood work girls! My least favorite game system is Tiger R-Zone. Yet I still collect for it. Go figure.
