Weirdest gaming SCAMS

[@KinseyFromThisIs]

this one was really fun to research. lot of really insane console concepts from back in the day that couldn't have worked 'cause they were ahead of their time

Thanks! Appreciate the work!!

The "we need jungle, I'm afraid" sudden bit lmao

[@AronFromThisIs]

Been listening to too much DnB to let that one go without doin something lol

[@AwesomeotasticGaming]

Thanks for the jungle edits my dood 🎛️🎚️🎧🎵🎶👨‍🎤

[@VOAN]

I'm glad the Atari Box is an actual real console and not a scam like the Coleco Chameleon and Intellivision Amico.

[@theINQBS]

The NEO GEO Arcade Cabinets ran on Beta Tapes and their games were the Creme Brûlée of the day.

[@PookieMaliboo]

I wanted that KFC gaming PC so bad! STILL DO!

[@UbiMortus]

The WarmerMaster joke was incredible. I spit my coffee laughing and my cat looked at me like I offended her ancestors.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Laughed so hard at 2:36. You could see the gears turning in Matt's head where he would cheer Kinsey on to do that and then admonish her afterwards. Matt is a natural boss.

[@missinguserB]

I’m just gonna say that Bloons didn’t deserve that shade, Austin threw a whole ass tree at BTD 😂

[@speedwaynutt]

I put so many hours into playing the Ballons games on the Ninja Kiwi site. No regrets

[@lostworldofjj]

i freaking remember wanting the panasonic jungle back in the day LMFAO it even made an appearance on rob dyrdeks fantasy factory on mtv!!

[@AxiomTheory]

7:46 my mate used to play wow on a laptop with integrated gfx i remember seeing him literally loving life at 4fps .. literally i square brown no lies 4fps

[@meetoo594]

The Konix multi system was pretty advanced for the time. The hardware was made by the guys that created the Atari Jaguar. It was going to have a recoiling lightgun and a full on hydraulic gaming chair like a temu version of space harrier. Jeff minter wrote a few games for it and it also had an impressive afterburner clone that got recoded and released as blue lightning on the Atari lynx. Its main flaws were lack of memory and games that came on slow 3.5 disks. The chair also overheated and broke at a trade show. It did eventually get released as a joystick for the PC (without the console bit obviously).

[@gamasquad10]

Funny radio signals story, my dad had a radio show a few years back and the station was at the top of a hill with million dollar mansions all around it. The people who routed the cables for a new construction did not use shielded cables for the entire house resulting in those cables getting every signal being put out my the radio station. Also if you're reading this, I hope you have a great weekend.

[@IamTheTruth69]

2:53 Austin sounding like Mermaid man but looks like Barnacle boy 😂

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

YESSSSS another one of these lists. I love when Austin and Matt are completely taken off guard by nonsense Kinsey found

[@TKELSJr]

the remote control car didnt move b/c of radio signals. when left on, battery powered remote control cars move byitself to remind you to turn it off and save the battery

[@LegendaryFenrir]

1. Not every remote control car is designed that way. 2. Most cases where this is true, it is far less often than what theirs was showcased doing. 3. Radio interference causing issues with controls with devices like RC cars has _long_ been documented and is even listed in the paperwork that comes with them as a potential issue

[@Liminal.Headspace]

Imagine playing on your console and accidentally jamming police or air control radios. Seriously, 1000ft? Who the hell would entertain this abomination?

[@vapor4den]

I know most of thoses weird console but I didn't know many you show in your video, great job guy's... And it's was funny A'F !

[@stevew8513]

The Atari Cosmos would have had a grid of red LEDs that would light up underneath holograms. It wasn't mind-blowing technology. And all its games were built in, swappable only by changing out the hologram cartridge. It's things like this that ultimately killed Atari, they were spending tons of money on things like holographics, video phones, even things like heart defibrillators. They had somewhere between 120 to 180 buildings scattered across Silicon Valley doing all sorts of R&D, and not paying attention to how much money the company was taking in. They were losing something like $2 million a day on all the stuff they were working on, including designing, manufacturing, and then warehousing the Atari 7800 but not getting to the point of releasing it. Everybody carries a piece of Atari in their pockets all across the world. The little holograms on credit cards and driver's licenses? Invented by Atari. Holograms used to be expensive and complicated to make, Atari wanted them for the Cosmos, figured out a new process to make them dirt cheap, and ultimately sold that division off after the game market crash. Now they're everywhere.

[@apollolux]

I wanted a 32X in the 90s as a kid, Neptune or not, until I realized the 32X-specific game selection wasn't really my cup of tea, and then the PS1 came out.

[@treiz01]

I need Matt's shirt. Such an understated Star Wars reference that I would wear it just to identify other people who could recognize it

[@svenanon1146]

"Neptune was in retrograde" best joke in a long time, 10/10

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

I can't believe a video dedicated to vaporware consoles didn't include any mentions of the console named-I kid you not-Phantom

[@SquishySenpai]

I can't believe the Indrema L600 wasn't mentioned. It was announced in 2000 and was supposed to be made of off the shelf PC parts and ran Linux. It was more than possible to make it, but it never happened.

[@AronFromThisIs]

Lost a few IQ points on this one guys

[@NESChronicles]

How could you leave out the Infinium Labs Phantom? It was the Amico of the early 2000s.

[@snowrai8205]

Want to see how much they'd hate the razor junglecat controllers.(joysticks all at the top)

[@Aaron48219]

Are we sure the new Intellivision isn't owned by Kel-Tec?

[@MudSluggerBP]

No Nuon or Phantom? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@stevew8513]

The Nuon came out, I have two of them. And the entire library, all eight games. I have the tendency to back oddball underdog consoles. There was no Indrema console. It was an "everything but the kitchen sink" type machine, a PC in a console case running Linux and games were open source. But nobody was interested because of the massive hype for the PS2, so it went nowhere.

[@lonca_47]

I can’t believe Austin just dissed Bloons like that 💀

[@EB01]

You should have included the Phantom from Infinium Labs. They legally threatened a tech review /gaming news website, HardOCP over their investigations into the console and the people at Infinium Labs. Kyle from HardOCP filed a counter lawsuit and Infinium Labs settled to get out of a lawsuit that was not going well for them. One of the known early prototype units was destroyed by HardOCP at QuakeCon.

[@KinseyFromThisIs]

I definitely would've if we hadn't talked about it in a different video already! "The Weirdest Consoles of All time", october 2022 (i don't think it'll let me link). also yo, kamen rider icon?

[@EB01]

@@KinseyFromThisIs yeah some Rider 1 (I think, if not Ichigo then it's Nigo). Ah, already mentioned... Yeah it could be an entire video in of itself (especially if you could pull from Wayback Nachine all the articles from Kyle chronicling the saga). Edit found the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ_IfY1uidSYl9kfeature=shared

[@KinseyFromThisIs]

@@EB01 thanks for the suggestion!

[@grfadams219]

11:29 I hear his mother is really proud of him

[@bonnome2]

You could also have added the razer switchblade. Not really a console, but it looked really nice

[@AskyuhmodaTT]

I had a sega Neptune as a kid. It looked just like that, had the slot for cartridges as well as the disk tray. We only had some disks and not carts to say if that part functioned. But it was all one piece, not attachments

[@nappa0582]

Im surprised the XGO isn't on this list. It was Kickstarter'd that was successful, but all the sudden, after its completion, was Suspended. Nobody know why it was suspended or if refunds were distributed, but it doesn't exist. Legitimately, it looks like something you get from one of those mall kiasks.

[@TheCraftySmith89]

This made me wonder what ever happened to the Atari console they tried to bring back like 5 ish years ago?

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

I love this episode 😂❤️

[@alexandermozina8594]

The YT algorithm put a kfc commercial in you break right after the kfc console 😂

[@MudSluggerBP]

The Konix looked great back in the 80s

[@kanedaku]

04:48 The yoof won't know whats wrong with that VHS tape, but us old heads know...

[@thundermite1241]

What i want is for sony to release a ps2 classic

[@johng9465]

The 32X was a good idea with bad executions. Towards the end of their life span, both Genesis and SNES had games that were $90+. The 32X could help get the prices of those games down, but Sega dropped the ball.

[@RicartiRicardo]

We need a second part maybe do prototype consoles

[@echan7301]

Lazer disc baby!!!

[@alexandermozina8594]

Does anybody remember a commercial for a second sega handheld around 2002. Or did I hallucinate it. I swear I remember it but can’t find any info online.

[@SkoomaChugger]

[@MotownBatman]

2004: The PHANTOM Linux Gaming Console. I was so Geeked when I read the Announcement article, it looked like Abandonware Almost Instantly I tried to Learn everything I could to make my own out of PC parts, but nothing about the OS was shown

[@NESChronicles]

Don't think you know what abandonware means, bud. It's not remotely the same as vaporware. The Phantom was vaporware.

[@MotownBatman]

@@NESChronicles Or I could just be throwing Consoles out there that they themselves could have missed: But Thanks for Playing

[@taunthom]

Is Matt’s shirt a star wars shirt?

[@elvfn123]

I remember, back in the early 2000s, on the show "Pulse" on G4, they talked about all digital console called the Phantom. It was the console of my dreams. Now, i barely touch my Series S. Lol

[@kanedaku]

DJ Slopes did a video a while back about the Amico, and apparently its going to be mobile only now.
