Tiger Gamecom Review and ALL Games - Octav1us

[@johnyoung5560]

Great review. BTW, I was the dude in the orange suit in the commercial. They actually let me keep the suit. Cheers!!!!

[@MelodieOctavia]

This is the first console I spent my own money on. I saved up for 6 months to buy one. It was on release day that I learned the hard way that life isn't fair.

[@peterlane1391]

Sorry about that.

[@Handlebar-MustDash]

Slightly different item but I saved up for months for a copy Gibson SG guitar (with KAY on the headstock 😂) , it was out of a catalogue, it was unplayable and I too learned a very valuable lesson back then, kids and their money are easily parted. It was a tenth of the price of a genuine Gibson SG but I stupidly convinced myself that it would be good.

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

I bought this and the R Zone before it, I don't learn....

[@Spectralhyena]

That intro song melts my black heart every damn time. Shoutouts to slopes game room for bringing me here a while back, I’m a big fan.

[@Karmy.]

Yeah that's a really good intro

[@FoxyPiratess]

Great song indeed!

[@KasumiRINA]

28:18 How the HELL are you supposed to tell ninjas and robots apart? There's Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke for latter, three girls, with one having darker skin and two others - masked twins - and like... six ninja guys in MKT?! Scorp, SZ, Rain, Noob, Ermac, Human Smoke and Reptile. I'd get if they cut most and made main ones different shades of grey but RAIN IS HERE, and his stance is not Reptile's but same as all other male ninjas, so HOW?!

[@mhn3773]

Hey it's the woman that cut bacon with a Vega+ :)

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

Wonderful as always, and a welcome back to Creepy Sleazy Boss! The host of Quiz Wizz looks like he could be Mr Dark Room's brother. Perhaps instead of "YA DIE!" he shouts out the "WRONG" noise from Family Fortunes in your face?

[@DaraM73]

Love the use of mis-matched AA battery types. Feel the disrespect!

[@williamsmith666]

It's not just disrespect; we've all been there, a battery is a battery even the different types.

[@Completionist666]

Found your channel through the Ashens Blockbusters video and I’m loving your content

[@davidt-rex2062]

I have never heard an explosion noise described as "crunchy" before - love it.

[@knotsandcrosses1]

What's really sad about Indy 500 (24:34) is that this is the ONLY home version (well, aside from the R-Zone but I don't count that). I loved that game, but Sega cancelled a home version of it to work on Daytona USA Championship Edition. It's fine now as it runs well in emulation, but it's a bit bad that the only home version until computers became powerful enough to emulate the arcade was on this... thing.

[@cubeflinger]

Confused sexual feelings about business kitty but pleased to see your rat making another outing.

[@Evilgrebo]

Her business guy always cracks me up

[@spwolftech]

Decided to do a 5 year Anniversary channel marathon so here is my HI to try and make the algorithm be nice. Fun and great no matter how many times i have watched them.

[@christopherfriend2224]

What is the background music that starts around 8:20 whens she's explaining the calendar?

[@aspieatheist6040]

I like your little intro jingle. You should bring it back for your new videos.

[@antibishonen]

3:25 Where's the freakout? The tirade where anyone gets a beatdown when someone brings 'that' up. Oh, wrong video....

[@flottpale1]

When one can not sleep it is with joy one finds a new Octav1us vid to pass the time with. I lift my cap and thank you for the very good entertainment. Cheers. greetings and all that.

[@amzrigh]

Maybe it's because I'm delirious with fever, but I about died at "That slot machine has a dinosaur coming out of it!"

[@herbiehusker1889]

I love the windows 3x solitaire ending. Epic.

[@ZombiWorkshop]

"Kids thought they were cool." ... .. yeah... kids... only kids... (closes drawer of LCD games)

[@coyoteartist]

Oh good, I'm not the only one who still thinks they're cool.

[@roadbreach]

TBH I think I'd buy the Transformers and Power Rangers games just for shits and giggles.

[@williamsmith666]

...I still consider finding Sega's old "Pocket Arcade" LCD titles...

[@Yuuretsu]

Love the Golden Axe poster in the background.

[@Mattytime]

I like how you said “factlet” instead of misusing “factoid “ and I appreciate that

[@G0thCrayon]

@ 18:35 - 18:39 This clip desperately deserves to be a "mood" meme.

[@majestic2012]

I had the Double Dragon one, and loved it. It must still be packed away with other retro Gold in my auld man’s loft. Excellent work, Octav1us 👍🏻

[@samurai85x]

35 minute video!? You're the best!

[@samurai85x]

Octav1us I loved it! Not boring at all. I appreciate all the hard work you put into your channel. I meant it when I said you are the best. Keep it up!

[@PaulBarraclough]

Discovered your channel this morning, love it. Keep up the great work. Makes me smile :)

[@tomservo5007]

you make the assumption that tiger lcd games were loved by kids. No, they were garbage. Kids would play with them 30-45 mins, that's it. What made them popular was their price. Parents and grandparents would buy them as presents -- sure, a kid would pick one out -- but after a day or so, that game was forgotten.

[@detritus10001]

Tinny?! AAAAHHHHH! Darling, you can't say tin in front of her. Yes, need to say something nice and Woody!

[@fluffibuni8663]

While I have some vague memories of the Tiger, this video has been the most entertaining coverage of the system I've seen, yet another Octav1us triumph ... great stuff :-)

[@stufaman]

Why do I keep looking for videos of people being tortured by tiger games? Oh, have you reviewed Jet Set Willy 2 yet?

[@MiggyManMike]

Wait... how do you smack someone in the spine with a sledgehammer from the front ? Asking for a friend.

[@MiggyManMike]

Octav1us Makes sense, i'll tell my friend..... :D

[@adamphillip5305]

Swing it under their legs & back towards yourself

[@teranokitty]

It's the same magic that's involved with kicking someone's face in...with a bat.

[@petrolhead0387]

If you swing it into their stomach hard enough, you can burst their organs and reach the spine.

[@DmitriyK12]

Darn it; no offense or ill will but you people are f-g savage ... wtf is wrong with civilization in the 21st century (I am not being sarcastic by the way or am I being sarcastic ... honestly, I can't pick or tell anymore) !?!? 😒😵🙈😇😈💢

[@IcePakOG]

Thanks for the great video, Octav1us. I've always been curious about the Game.com, but never been brave enough to buy one. Looks like my instincts were right.

[@MightyJonE]

Batman on the handheld strolls around like a demented chicken! Great vid!

[@stewscotia]

Just came over to your channel because ive seen you do a few appearances on Barshens, after watching some of your videos consider me subscribed :), I think you are a lovely and beautiful person inside and out and I love the way you present your videos. You have a funny and quirky style about you that I enjoy. Cheers from america and keep up the content :) thumbs way up

[@dcflake5645]

Biznis Kitten is my favourite new character. Excellent work.

[@DmitriyK12]

No offense to Tiger Electronics LLC, but a PDA plus/+ isn't not a multi purpose electronic video-game unit... alas, those Wrist videogame monstrosities and R-Zone were unnecessary pukes of garbage/trash. The Tiger Electronic video-games Game.com could have triumphed if only it was actually beta tested and increased it's ram/rom , draw distance, added colour sprites and enlarged the f-g display screen ... alas even the Pocket Pro goofed and crapped the bedsheets so to speak. Lights out, MK: Trilogy, Resident Evil 2, and Duke Nukem were stand out titles.

[@rugbybro119]

Been stuck in hotels for 2 weeks and I'm pretty confident I've binged all your content. Thanks Digitiser2000 for linking you up

[@williamsmith666]

The sad fact is that the game.com of Mortal Kombat Trilogy was better than Mortal Kombat Advance...

[@anthonyblack8279]

Not many people had these back in the day, most had the gbc, but I stupidly got one of these. The concept was ahead of its time, and the implementation was a but pants. Anyways thank you for taking me on a trip down memory lane, I have now liked and subscribed to you're channel. Keep up the amazing work. 😊

[@Petertronic]

Your videos are all over my recommendations so youtube must love you again, hooray!

[@User_Unknown123]

The sonic game is really lacking that "blast processing" lol

[@Drerhu]

I have just reached here from another twitter user, and I fell in love with the theme song xD Awesome review! Wanted really hard to see more games of this.

[@anthonyfellows390]

I travelled from the distant world of Nostalgia Nerds Huge December unboxing video and you now have a new Subscriber :)

[@happytoast19]

Just came over from barshens , can’t wait to watch all your videos in one sitting !

[@KasumiRINA]

30:58 REALLY?! Whole point of "tank controls" was so that character won't change direction with atmospherically awkward, offset angles the prerendered levels had, here he just runs in 4 directions, surely they coulda made directional buttons literally correspond to where you want him to move?!

[@simonday9013]

I own a game com. It was not my proudest purchase. But it's still at least ten times better then my doctor who tardis lcd game. Because that's shit.

[@LittleRedF150]

Great review on this smooth brick!!! I was hoping you would review resident evil 2 and you did! And your intro makes me want to keep watching your vids over and over again... Not saying that is the only reason why I watch your vids ;)

[@nerdiestmurdoch887]

I picked up the pocket in green when I was on clearance... I sort of liked the duke game... clearly I have poor taste lol

[@polishenglish8356]

I love your videos and commentary soo much!

[@petrolhead0387]

I was tilting my phone at one point while you were playing batman 🤦‍♂️

[@Skaera75b]

Hi... just out of curiosity, how did you emulate this? I have all the roms, but no idea how to emulate the damn thing, and I want to see how lousy this is for myself. Also, love the video. Thanks!

[@Moghause]

[@josefbrooks9045]

I love this channel girl avgn 🤣👍

[@philstraintravels9281]

I really wanted a Game.Com at the time and working in a department store would have received a 15% staff discount (plus a fair bit more!) luckily the day I going to buy it the Tiger rep was in and said they were utterly crap. I brought a super sexy HP Celeron PC with a super sexy 400 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM! (shared with video) and a huge 4GB hard drive... which according to the dude in the shop would "nobody could ever fill"

[@Mr.madmight266]

Hi there. This is the first video i watch from you, and i think your intro is so cute and sweet. and yeah, the review was pretty nice too. I actually managed to enjoy a couple of these games, those are Sonic Jam and Quiz Wiz.

[@CardboardSliver]

It blows me away how much these steaming piles of PoundLand Game Gears go for.

[@docsigma]

Fun Fact: One of the hidden unlockable characters in Fighters Megamix is a car

[@adamphillip5305]

The Daytona car isn't it?

[@matthewhennessey5967]

Damn, I wrote that I was the only one to ask what the unlockable characters are. I am not special.

[@scudman51]

And a friggin palm tree. A FRIGGIN PALM TREE!

[@RetroBreak]

Great video! I didn’t even know there was a pocket version! :)

[@dwegmull]

I find it amazing that an emulator for this exists.

[@pitmatix1457]

Tiger Game.Com. The machine that makes you appreciate the Nokia N-Gage.

[@longier3693]

My mum bought me one of those to replace the game boy she broke, it was the single best door wedge I have ever owned, I never did find anywhere that stocked the games for it

[@mikececconi2677]

Found you through Ashens... some good stuff!

[@plawson8577]

Ashens and Tweeterman!

[@greysky1252]

Cant believe I used to want this as a kid. Well i wanted every weird gadget that came out.

[@DmitriyK12]

😒😏✋💪

[@confusedwarlord7530]

Glad I found this channel. Subbed

[@matthewhennessey5967]

How do you unlock the four other players in "Fighters Mega-mix"? I am the only human to ever ask that question.

[@chris_stacey]

Wow, I had the Shinobi LCD game (and I'm also ancient but couldn't give a sh*t). ;-)

[@revivedfears]

I used to always want one, looking back probably better I stuck with the gameboy. Great video Octi!

[@jamcalx]

You got really suggestive in this. Is there something you need to share with the group?🤨

[@chrisb7528]

You really go all out in your videos, you should way more subs. Damn youtube algorithm!

[@ff_crafter]

Does the console says f**k You when booting?

[@JudgeTyBurns]

Thank you, KZbin algorithm, for deciding to show me this channel.

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Yay! Excellent job and thank you for another fun video!

[@TheIndulged1]

I still find it weird you like retro computer games and technology yet you are so young, I am the same age as ET The Extraterrestrial 1982, hopefully I have aged better...

[@DmitriyK12]

2060 Common era/Gregorian calendar year , these are antiques/classics... especially the Tiger 99x and VRT-X device's + IP's; 2020 Common era/Gregorian calendar year : ughhhh, why did we ever think of playing this experience in frustration yet kind of novelty... for it's time of actual release. Nintendo and Micro Games of North America released Game and Watch titles... everyone and their pets/animals loved those oddities yet now everyone/some group or people loathe/despise the Tiger Game/Multi. com unit + titles for being too f-g experimental or simply pathetic !? Logic does not always dictate future preference and or value, at least in my humble and meek opinion.

[@PaulC77]

Just to wanted to say how much I love your videos always makes me laugh and bring back memories as I owned some or most of the stuff you talk about lol.

[@PaulC77]

Octav1us wow you actually responded you've made my day

[@plawson8577]

@@octaviusking Ashens another fellow UK bloke and the American Tweeterman both reviewed Game Com as well as Rerez. It’s wonderful to get your take on it, great work, Madam!😊

[@jthorpe4droid]

You have me singing along to the theme song at 00:11am

[@scorchx3000]

*Show Bat Credit card* Damn it lass, are you trying to make people go crazy? Every time that clip is shown, the Nostalgia Critic needs to double his meds.

[@ZombiWorkshop]

Also, nice use on the emoticon artwork. :)

[@MendelsonShape]

Loving your stuff as always, Octavius. I have one question about items in your room there. What are the Manic Miner and Jetpac thingies to your right? They don't look like inlays, but I feel I might need them in my life. Do tell.

[@bramvandenbroeck5060]

Hope they learned their lesson, never insult the potential buyer :p

[@SteveBenway]

The Game.Com is the worst system in my collection, and I've got some real tat. I made videos of the games, pointing the camera at the screen, and I've never been quite the same since. Needless to say, I've never fired it up since. Set it on fire... now that has some appeal. So yeah... I feel your pain :D

[@MrScotttraynor]

I love your Kittie Pebbles poster!

[@oncameramastery]

Tis a brave woman whom willingly faces down the pixilated hordes of Tiger, armed only with fermented grapes and a smile! Our heroine gallantly strides forth into the land of game.com, confronting the terrible dark demons of that foul, depraved, low frame rate darkness! Brave sole, may I pray that your sanity remains whole, your wine rack always full, and your game footage never corrupted!

[@jamesnewman4351]

I have been a huge Saturn fan since 94 and not knowing about Fighters Megamix for this abortion of a console ,seeing it on the pile of games sent shivers down my spine...when you played it i felt like i needed a vat of wine myself.

[@plawson8577]

The port is Horrendous. It was so bad, both Ashens and Tweeterman avoided talking about it and mostly focused on the atrocious Sonic Jam port.

[@strain42]

This console lead to a 100% increase in sales of wine in the Me household. Awesome video as always, Octav1us :)

[@RussLyman]

I had a few of these traded into the game store I worked at. Got to play with it for a little bit. Kinda neat??? ha The resident Evil game on there is hilarious

[@Seth-hc2bj]

New to the channel, that intro is goddamn adorable

[@3dmaster205]

The worst thing is; that the artwork in the graphics are actually good, like really good; way better than the game boy, arguably even the Game Boy Color. Of course, you can only see how good they are on an emulator because the screen is shit, but damn; imagine if these thing actually had a budget, a good screen, and responsive controls.

[@TekMoliGy]

so it looks like duke nukem is the best with resident evil 2 being second best

[@HabadzaKalfa]

Oh my, I had completely forgotten these 1:29. As a kid I wanted those after having seen them in some ads or catalogs. Never got any myself, but I believe my cousin had Gauntlet - nevertheless, I'm vaguely recalling that I wasn't too impressed for very long. Now I finally know they were Tiger handheld games. Still, to be honest the options in 1990's for portable gaming were quite limited, so to me it seems like this Tiger Game.com could've been a relatively decent system for the time, at least with just minor finishing tweaks here and there. Assuming being a kid. Assuming the device would've been released few years earlier. Assuming the display would've been clear to see and controls would've been responsible. (In fact I'm suspecting that both the display and controls would've functioned in a more acceptable fashion in 1990's with a brand new device. Sadly, many old electronic systems have deteriorated during the decades even if in mint condition on surface, and I'd be surprised had Tiger not resorted with some cost reduced resolutions regarding to quality. No personal experience though on this specific system; I didn't even know it existed. So thanks for this.)

[@Mrchadwoodhack]

I think I'm in love with you You fing rock

[@Dr.Dawson]

Great Vid, well thought out and made from end to end. Thank god i didn't have to play it, hahaha. Love your channel, keep it up please.

[@mightydegu]

There are a few good games on this, but the crappy touch screen makes them almost unplayable. They would have been better off skipping the touch screen and going with a Gameboy Light type screen and a little bit more powerful CPU.

[@DmitriyK12]

I agree 👍 with your statement !

[@battra92]

I'm willing to defend the Tiger handhelds because I was a poor kid and it was the closest to fitting in that I could hope for. The Game.com I remember seeing the commercials for and thinking that there's no way I'd want that and to just hold out hope for getting a game console at a garage sale, which I did shortly after (an NES for $5 with games.)

[@battra92]

Oh I get that I wasn't alone it it. The NES was a bit of a luxury item but the Gameboy was everywhere. I honestly think most people I know had at least one in their family. On the bright side, I've got a nice game collection now made up of all those people selling their NES games back in the SNES/N64 era for pennies.

[@C4nn15]

You guys had Tiger. We had cheap Chinese knock offs. You think Tiger was bad, take that and make it half as good. Then again we also had Chinese clones of the Famicom, we actually thought a lot of those games were meant to be like what we got.

[@intel386DX]

actually the Game Boy DMG-1 screen is not any better then this

[@Ale.K7]

Great review, Octav1us!

[@Itsmuchmore]

Great Review / video it makes us wanna fire up a Game Com - sub’ed 👍

[@gfmretro]

Thank you for another excellent video! 👍

[@progbloke6655]

I have very fond memories of Digitiser. Their ongoing feud with Mean Machines Sega mag was hilarious, and the constant letters from the ever obnoxious Stuart N Hardy were always worth looking forward to. Also reminds me how much I miss Bamboozle.

[@invisiblehand13]

really good opening theme song!

[@OnlyEpicEmber]

You got your meds up fast. Must have a great GP

[@elizabethhogan1610]

On the subject of casino games: my grandmother, a lifelong lover of gambling, had several games on her computer when I was a kid in which you could go into a virtual casino and play lots of different slot machines, each with their own theme, music, and fun little animations that popped up when you got three in a row or whatnot. Plus each had a minigame you could unlock if you got the right pictures in the right spots. Not a revolutionary game by any means, but I remember it being fun as hell.
