Yep. Someone did a similar thing. Look for "Tomy Turnin’ Turbo Dashboard Outrun Arcade". It's beautiful :) Only instead of MAME it runs a modified version of CannonBall (a OutRun of sorts). Because it's open source, the guy was able to make the controls and gauges work. And the video is on RUclips: v=-4N2GVX-XKg
These were rad as a kid. It's weird to think back and remember not really being fussed by how simple the average LCD game was even compared to what we had back then. I need to get collecting some up. Only one I have is the Donkey Kong 2 Game & Watch.
I would have loved to have this as a kid in the 80s. All I had was a wheel that moved a picture of a car back and forth on a scrolling roll of paper with a curvy road printed on it. At least this is a game.
Improved on Ashens review: better nail polish than he had and also: bonus ratten! 🐁😊 Excellent and fun review again, always love how enthusiastic (or mardy) you get about tech and software.
Hey Octav1us, I just wanted to comment and say to keep up the good work. I am admittedly a new sub to your channel having been directed to check you out by the Titans of Thrift over at “Cheapshow” (the episode you were on was funny and charming). After watching a few videos I can definitely say that I’m going to be watching more episodes. Again keep up the great work and thanks for producing quality entertainment!
Octav1us the car is supposed to be reminiscent of the 80’s Ferrari Testarossa. The licensing issues over the use of the Testarossa in Outrun are kind of interesting to read up on, there’s a reason it doesn’t look exactly like a Ferrari Testarossa.
Such Technology! Much sound! The instant you pointed out SUPERSOUND!, I knew exactly what bleeps, bloops and arrghs would be issuing from this thing. You will never know how accurate I was. o.0
The high pitched noise is supposed to be tyre squeal (I'm guessing, based off the actual arcade game), and there are Palm trees along the side of a "race course" because the Outrun game is set on real roads, not a closed racing circuit.
At least the palm trees stayed on the side of the road. In the Spectrum game Duel (with the slowest accelerating sports cars ever), the cacti would migrate majestically across the desert and end up embedded in the middle of the road while you were going around a corner. There was a guy with a suit like the sofa/throw at the Norwich Winter Beer Festival. He didn't have Pac Man socks on though, so he lost points for that.
As a child of the 80s this was everything I ever wanted ^_^ it's so shit looking back at it now, but back before playstations this was the cutting edge in game design. Thank you for taking me back to being a five year old, even if only in my mental little head :D
I love these things! When I was little these were the only handheld/table top games we had. There wasn’t a Game Boy. One of my favorite handheld is King Man by Tomi? I played the crap out of that thing.
I only found your channel recently. I think it was the grannies garden video. I used to have the afterburner lcd thingy with the stick. It was great. Keep up the good work.
This thing reminds me of a toy I used to have during the '80s. It was a car dashboard/hood with a steering wheel and headlights with real lights. The one you showed, however, is a lot more ambitious, as it has a built-in video game, whereas mine only had a rotating picture; though it was lit-up with colorful graphics! Damn, I miss that toy.
@@octaviusking The one I had was labeled the "Fun-To-Drive" Dashboard by Playmates. Sure, it's a rather dated toy by now, but damn, I had so much fun playing it, especially in the dark with all those lights.
I think this game is kinda like the 80's Flash Gordon movie.. Sort of crap, but in a way that makes it stupidly fun ☺. Great video, sort of reminds me of playing Outrun in the arcades.
Decided to do a 5 year Anniversary channel marathon so here is my HI to try and make the algorithm be nice. Fun no matter how many times i have watched them.
I can't remember what it was called but the motor always sounded like it was on it's last legs (presumably to emulate the sound of a motor!) Tiny me had a lot of fun with it. :)
I remember seeing these in the Sears Christmas Catalog back in the 80s and kind of wanting one, but not really because I had an Atari with Enduro. Really it's a good old 2600 game. Dead simple, stay on the road, don't hit any other cars, go fast.
I have to revise this since I commented before you pulled it out of the box. The one I remember was much taller, and had a fully round steering wheel but functioned in the same way. it looked quite a bit different from my memory.
You did a great job of getting a nice clear image of the LCD screen there. They can be right gits. Also I can't believe that I'm jealous of you for owning this, it looks pure shite.
Hmmmm, do we really believe Stuart wasn't responsible for that white stain. I didn't see many of these tabletop games back in the day, to be honest I didn't go out of my way to find them. Thanks for another entertaining video Octav1us, Beatrice and Oric :D
It's so silly, I'm always happy to see your videos. You have your own style and you totally run with it, that's just awesome! Also, good job cleaning the happy ashens stain off the inside 😂
@@octaviusking I'm sure it probably was there when he got it. I have this horrible habit of making very awkward and childish jokes that usually result in the sound of crickets chirping
@@octaviusking with hindsight, there's probably a lot of really bad crap in my joke. Didn't think through how it could be interpreted to start with. Sorry to everyone
Clicked on a video 'cos RUclips recommended one to me while I was watching Ashen's stuff and now it's like four hours later and I need sleep, but there's still stuff to watch!
That was fun watching that after a long say, and two rattens for the price one. However Pancakes do not eat the BBC Micro it took my a while to get it working, so don't nom it.
I remember this. I was well chuffed when I got one of these really cheap from a boot sale ( garage sale for those of you in the states! ) till I played it lol
I like hearing your commentary Sarah! Thank you for the newest video. Keep them coming. Thank you Sarah!😍 You ever heard of the Playstation Move Sharp Shooter for PS3? Killzone 3, S.O.C.O.M 4 , Resistance Fall of Man 3? P.S. I want to have babbies with you... jk? Lol?
I can't remember who I knew who had one of these. but I loved it. Probably would have loved it even if I wasn't a gear head but since I am, it was totally rad.
Yayy more old electronic tat reviews! once again thank you for insight into the device i do enjoy these kind of videos. Ahh yess the curious problems of mice ownerships - curious tiny mouths. HOW did they made Outrun without magicall sound shower?! or is it just namesake to fool ppl into buying it?
Yay, more Tiger Tat .. and a Rat (or two)! Looks just as dire as the After Burner one to me though! 😆 If I hadn't already done an Out Run mod, I'd consider converting it to full arcade spec with RetroPie, assuming I could actually get hold of one of course, which seems even more unliekly now!
I owned Afterburner too! Being little I thought it was okay. I don't how what happened to it, maybe thrown away? That's how good I actually thought it was as a kid lol.
You must get your hands on a Tomytronic if possible. I think there were only 3 made, Shark Attack, a tank battle game and errr.... dunno may have been a space game. Not sure how you would get the graphics on screen thou as the vision is within the binoculary type thingys. Good review made me chuckle and feel err a bit old.
It is a nice piece of retro tat, to be sure. Somewhere, Stuart is enjoying a nice bit of free space in his closet which he can now fit more fucking inflatable fucking crowns in.
That was a pretty sweet repair job you did on it. Though I still wonder what was that dodgy white stain was on the inside of the car's bonnet. (Mayonnaise???) By the way, it was awesome to see your pet rats again. :)
The worst part is checking back on 'Dr Ashens' video and seeing it was 12 years ago, what!? What!? What!?! I'm so old since I last seen that video, around about 12 years older 🤔
![SahBabii - Viking [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/D37cL92JX0I/mqdefault.jpg)
You can't fool me; Ashens's brown sofa is under that Pac-Man blanket.
So is Ashens.
I'd love to mod this, put in a Raspberry Pi, a LCD screen and MAME, play the real OutRun on it :D
@Larry That would be the ultimate mod 🤟🏻🕹
Given how many batteries it takes, it probably would run for quite a while too.
That's already been done I believe
Yep. Someone did a similar thing. Look for "Tomy Turnin’ Turbo Dashboard Outrun Arcade". It's beautiful :) Only instead of MAME it runs a modified version of CannonBall (a OutRun of sorts).

Got to be a way to do it with a PSP... and then you've got Outrun Coast 2 Coast too. :O

So... explain why it has some graphics from Knight Rider on the dashboard?
@@brianm6337 probably because sombody thought that would look cool and apeal to kids?
Large LCD screen.... FOR A RAT!
I love that when you crash, the car spins round to face you as if to say "WHY?!?"
Great vid as always!

I love how excited you get with a nice set of stickers! 😄
I would have bloody loved this as a kid!
A female voice reviewing something i had from my favorite gaming franchise? I love you! Seriously though, this brought back a lot of memories. Thanks!
Ashens has some explaining to do about that white stain.
A lot of controller for piss all screen.
I probably would've loved this when I was a kid. The sort of thing that would've made Christmas.
I love the high pitched noises you make when reviewing stuff like this :D Sorry about some of the comments you're getting by the way.

Beatrice is simply taken aback by the awesomeness.

You disembodied hands appeared to be having a lot of fun in the video. :) It's always a good day when there's new Octav1us content!
WITH *SUPERSOUND!!!*
This takes me back to my childhood when I'd play a similarly huge casing-to-screen-ratio Batman-themed driving game
I only found your channel recently. I think it was the grannies garden video.
I used to have the afterburner lcd thingy with the stick. It was great.
Keep up the good work.
Within 1 minute the word ‘Gubbins’ popped up. Love it! 😂🤪👍

"Ratro" gaming... Ha, see what I did there!
Next stop, "Roland's Rat Race" on the ZX Spectrum...
Your coat, sir...
When I was a toddler I had one of those car driving things that used a film strip to emulate driving on a road and it was awesome!
I can't remember what it was called but the motor always sounded like it was on it's last legs (presumably to emulate the sound of a motor!) Tiny me had a lot of fun with it. :)
...The Tomy Racing Turbo!
Also somehow tiny me busted the steering wheel off. I have no idea how....

Enduro was the tits back in the day.

ENDURO.
There was always one kid that would bring this kind of thing on the last day of the school year.
Next time see if Ashens will gift you the Game Child.
Hello again from Tasmania, if you take the sticker off the wheel you can scan and copy it for the other side, thanks
Clever
First you take his Outrun game. Then, you take his brown sofa
One of my friends or cousins or somebody had one of these when I was a kid and I loved it.
I have to revise this since I commented before you pulled it out of the box. The one I remember was much taller, and had a fully round steering wheel but functioned in the same way. it looked quite a bit different from my memory.
This is the kind of gubbins I subscribed for.
Ashens is awesome! Great video, my first from your channel. Subbing.
Great vid, that high pitched noise is one of the things that annoy and yet you need to hear it again like some sort of sick torture or fetish😆!
You did a great job of getting a nice clear image of the LCD screen there. They can be right gits. Also I can't believe that I'm jealous of you for owning this, it looks pure shite.

Good too see you back😎
does it smell like a brown couch lol, awesome video! It always makes my day to see a new video from you!
Such an adorable rat! Look at how she reacts to the scritches! Oh, and the Outrun LCD game is kinda cool too, I guess.
Magical Sound Shower....
/Rave on
I expected an awesome review...but it was exceptionally good and soooo funny!

2:15 Somebody must been very happy about the large LCD screen..
I didn't even notice the jump cut.
Clicked on a video 'cos RUclips recommended one to me while I was watching Ashen's stuff and now it's like four hours later and I need sleep, but there's still stuff to watch!
I just realised I wasn't subscribed to your channel yet... sorry, Octav1us! Subbed and notified now. Great video, I like your stuff.
I own the after burner one as well. The one with the flightstick, right? This one is really cool!
These things were like the Pied Piper. Good at attracting kids, but always led to disappointment. I was always mesmerised by the design.
The graphics look like such a rat race, pun intended
Forgot all about this, my brother had one.
That was fun watching that after a long say, and two rattens for the price one. However Pancakes do not eat the BBC Micro it took my a while to get it working, so don't nom it.
I sometimes have spiders and cobwebs inside old electronics cases. But rats?!
I like the nail colour, I think Ashens found this on Ebay originally, not seen the video in a while *to the lab* and ohh lovely ratties lol.
3:22 yea! R R RIMS!
I remember this. I was well chuffed when I got one of these really cheap from a boot sale ( garage sale for those of you in the states! ) till I played it lol

You can't polish a turd. But you can wrap it in half a plastic car body and attach a steering wheel and gear stick to it.
I think I played this as a kid. Someone I knew had it or something.
Yes the tiger game maybe bad but still looks amazing. I really need those magic rats 😂
I can't remember who I knew who had one of these. but I loved it. Probably would have loved it even if I wasn't a gear head but since I am, it was totally rad.
I got this for Christmas with Afterburner
The screen is SO big!!! Well, maybe not... But Oric and Beatrice are SO adorable!
Yayy more old electronic tat reviews!
once again thank you for insight into the device i do enjoy these kind of videos.
Ahh yess the curious problems of mice ownerships - curious tiny mouths.
HOW did they made Outrun without magicall sound shower?! or is it just namesake to fool ppl into buying it?
I quite enjoyed this :)
You should check out the TOMY Turnin' Turbo Dashboard toy.
It's extra hard to find the red hood part for that item.
Make sure you use glue which won't damage the pla... ah ok phew. Car looks better with the front end off too
Yay, more Tiger Tat .. and a Rat (or two)! Looks just as dire as the After Burner one to me though! 😆 If I hadn't already done an Out Run mod, I'd consider converting it to full arcade spec with RetroPie, assuming I could actually get hold of one of course, which seems even more unliekly now!
OMG OMG OMG!!!! Octav1us, I learned from your Instagram that you are Polish/were in Poland/stayed in Poland for some time! So awesome!!!
I love the pacman blanket in the background, where did you get it from?
I like the purple fingernails, and the animals photobomb.
I owned Afterburner too! Being little I thought it was okay. I don't how what happened to it, maybe thrown away? That's how good I actually thought it was as a kid lol.
nice video and cute rats, you should include them in more videos
Reminds me of Tomytronix Thundering Turbo game I had for my 7th birthday
Hah nice, I had this from Argos as a kid....and was massively disappointed. I was okay though, I had in on the Spectrum too, ah wait...
Ahhhh Argos, the laminated book of dreams made to resist the tears of joy.
You must get your hands on a Tomytronic if possible. I think there were only 3 made, Shark Attack, a tank battle game and errr.... dunno may have been a space game. Not sure how you would get the graphics on screen thou as the vision is within the binoculary type thingys.
Good review made me chuckle and feel err a bit old.
Good lord - this actually looks... playable.
I'd watch a whole go-through of cleaning and restoring stuff like this if you're making a habit of it!
Its a bit Hard to focus with such a cutie mouse on screen. Oh beatrice, why did You try to eat The power cable? You nasty (and lovely) mouse!
It is a nice piece of retro tat, to be sure. Somewhere, Stuart is enjoying a nice bit of free space in his closet which he can now fit more fucking inflatable fucking crowns in.
The engine is in the back of that model ferrari the 512 tr (testerosa) without boring you too much hahaha 👍👍❤️
Cute rats aswell I have Guinea pigs xx 😊😎😏🙂
Supersound! So soundy! 😁X
You're Rats are Wonderful!!
I just realized... This thing has KiTT's dashboard stickers on it.
That was a pretty sweet repair job you did on it. Though I still wonder what was that dodgy white stain was on the inside of the car's bonnet. (Mayonnaise???)
By the way, it was awesome to see your pet rats again. :)
RIP Beatrice, Greatest of the Rattens. ?-2019
I remember these been quite an expensive purchase for the early 90’s. Shame there’s nothing like this for kids today.
The worst part is checking back on 'Dr Ashens' video and seeing it was 12 years ago, what!? What!? What!?! I'm so old since I last seen that video, around about 12 years older 🤔
We stan Beatrice!!
@@octaviusking yeeesss plz
I see a cat, I see rats and I see tat. I click. And now I'm happy with that choice :)

Was anybody else nervous Inky or Blinky was gonna get Beatrice?
Hahaha beatrice really liked the outrun game.
Im sure i had this!!!
