The sticky gunk was supposed to give it a sort of soft-grip, almost velvety sort of feel. These things feel nice new, but inevitably degrade into sticky goo over time, inside the package or not. You can either combat the goo by rubbing talcum powder into it, or take it off by taking it apart and using a strong solvent like turpentine on the pieces covered in goo.
Similar goo is also found on some early Thinkpad laptops, Apple Newtons, and some mice.
Actually, in France, the manufacturer Videojet sold a LOT of Conny's Pocket Dream Console (Even a Ninja Turtles console...). But their design was a little bit different, and some of them even got 200 games built into them. Conny even made, in 2009, a console with a touchscreen, called the MI2, known in Europe by the name "PDC Touch", and sold once again by Videojet.
7:51 shane says "Squishy"
This is almost POP Station territory, call Ashens!
+Michał Pawlak Tudu. Tudu. tudU.
Hello!
+Michał Pawlak *crazy eyes appear onscreen*
Chanticleer hegemony!
+Michał Pawlak An excellent comment.
2:39 That "drunk or dead octopus" probably just passed out from boredom after playing the Pocket Dream. ;)
+TortureVision Fact.
+Rerez I thought since it seemed like it was newer you'd be able to get games off of a we sur or something like that :/
+Rerez please explain how you managed to capture this, EDIT: nvm you explain at 5 minutes in LOL
LOL TortureVision
I've never understood why more portable gaming system don't have A/V output. Being able to plug it into any TV would be a very marketable feature imo.
My parents got me this instead of a gamecube back in the day .... :(
No offense but your parents are kind of cheap in my opinion not to be rude
The Rocket Bunny Lol , i actually thought the same thing ^^ i was so mad
+Wing GT the gamecube came out in 2001, while this handheld came out in 2006.... im confused about your timeline there :P
raafmaat i was born in 2000, i came to a friend house to play Mario Kart double dash in 2006 , since then i wanted a gamecube for my 6th birthday , but i got this :(
Wing GT
ohhh haha, thats tough!
so... your 16 now right? did you ever get a gamecube yourself afterwards? I would actually recommend a super nintendo though, best system ;)
I believe the "sticky" problem is due to the age of the rubbery grip/shock absorbing substance. As a cinema (not game) collector I can speak for the "Juice Box Personal Media Player" that was made between 2004-2005 and unfortunately used a rubbery substance to encase the system. The first one I bought secondhand and I assumed the stickiness was due to dirty kid hands constantly playing with it, but it wasn't until I bought one still in its package that I realized it was getting sticky simply due to the age of the rubber. So chances are The Pocket Dream Console was not sticky to begin with, but over the years became that way.
+CinemaSickness That's interesting. I guess this is the same problem that happens to the analog stickers on counterfeit PlayStation controllers.
Basically the plastic is breaking down.
Me and my brother are uploading old ads and stuff we recorded on VHS back in the day, and we actually found the old Juice Box ad!
I remember seeing it and thinking it looked cool, but i guess i never had the courage to ask for one!
There's a bunch of 2000s ads here but the juicebox one is at the 5:00 mark: ruclips.net/video/lQqIA_Cskfs/видео.html
Over the years the rubber feet on my naim nait 3 has gone all sticky and gooey.
Yeah, that is something which happens to a lot of cheap rubbers.
The pinball game is a crappy version of Mario Pinball Land; I was recently playing that game so I recognize the font, the coin design and the font (which Mario Pinball Land got from Mario 64 itself). The Flippers look like they could be direct ripoffs too, but theres not a lot of detail to those to steal haha.
What about the font?
"The original switch"
The sticky-ness issue is probably caused by plastic aging. It’s probably the same issue that affects the Gizmondo.
2:15 Beat 'em up Game - Starring: Clark Steel from The King of Fighters
+Holothurion ikari warriors and metal slug 7
Takara was in partner with snk.Check out the release of samurai showdown on snes.
Holothurion To me he kind a looks like Terry Bogard wannabe
@@agedstring It's an edited sprite of Clark from KOF '94-'95, while his running animación comes from KOF '96.
the box moving game is based on a classic popular Japanese title called "Sokoban" which we saw released as Boxxel in the west.
+dezm101 There are several versions of the game, actually. mostly for PC.
Handheld made by Nintendo with TV output?
Never heard of it.
2:50 The character looks suspiciously similar to Magic Boy for the Amiga.
5:54: Road Rash for the Mega Drive.
Rerez, the game at 6:15 is using graphics, enemies, and effects from a Powerpuff Girls game for the GBA!
and the phallic looking green things are from twinbee
There is a pretty good reason why Nintendo doesn't ever put any kind of video outputs on their handhelds. Obviously their first portable was the GameBoy. At the time the GameBoy was created it would have been prohibitive to add video out on the GB since it would have taken some special hardware and software to convert the GB's low resolution, dot matrix output to a TV and Nintendo wanted to develop it as cheaply as possible. Then the Super GameBoy came out a few years later and Nintendo realized that instead of adding this feature into their portables for probably no extra money, they could keep the feature absent and then put out a device to play them on a TV through a home console that the user would also need to buy. They did this same thing with the GBA on the GameCube. The dual screens of the DS and 3DS have complicated this, but I assume they would have done it again if it was possible. So basically, they can add video output to the portable for probably no extra money, or they can sell peripherals that also push their home consoles to play portables on TV. Its pretty much a no-brainer.
Nah, I am just a dangerous combination of fast typer and long-winded. And actually my long comments rarely get liked probably because few people commit to reading them.
I do like all the options the DS games on the Wii U VC gives you for the screen placement. There's already a small gap in between the screens on the DS systems so I've got no problem using my Wii U gamepad for the touchscreen & my TV for the top screen since I can use the speakers on the screen where the action is going on & mute the speakers for the screen where nothing is going on.
tim5fl Oh wow I didn't know Nintendo was even releasing DS games on Wii U Virtual Console. That makes sense, though.
What about the Switch? You could play that on the go and on the big screen.
"Game boy was first portable" hahahahahahah. Game & Watch son
Sokoban! 1:15 everyone knows right!? :C
Did anyone else notice at 2:50 the game stole the HUD font from the first Rayman game? Just wanted to point that out.
no, I noticed it too, and it's so weird seeing it on another game
*I OWN ONE OF THOSE CONSOLES!*
Limo I feel SO sorry for you
How much
Limo I had a rip-off console
sameee
Why??
Love your videos. High quality and really informative .
Love seeing these weird lil handhelds. Great vid chap :)
The first thing I thought was ashens pop station alert!!!
This is a serious review of a pop station
"the games are pretty good!"
(most of them are boring as shit and he says some of them are bad)
But the games that aren't boring are really good
Cool! Thanks for sharing
This is really one of the best video game youtuber voices I've ever heard. Unlike so many of the other ones, it's not squeaky, or nasally, or grating; it's just right, and very listenable. I'm gonna subscribe just for that.
i actually had a Conny!
it was my first ever portable system
Bom-burr-man
Pretty cool right there. Never heard of that one. Cheers.
i remember having one of these. It wasn't bad tbh. I really liked it
In my opinion, getting a handheld game system without a cartridge slot or a download function is pointless... Why would I want to get this thing in 2006 when the Game Boy Advance was already out for 5 years and still getting great games? If I wanted more games for this I'd be screwed, if I wanted more games for the GBA I'd just go out and buy them... (There's also the flash cart option btw)
+Ruko Michiharu I agree, I feel the device needed something a little extra to make it last longer.
***** Thanks for the reply!
Did you know there's also a handheld Sega Genesis that is actually licensed by Sega?
And no, I'm not talking about the Nomad...
You can even download Roms for it and the Master system, put them on an SD card and put that on the system, and I've heard it's actually pretty cool, I don't remember the name of the system but you should look it up, it would make for an awesome review!
And the best part, it's not pointless!
+Ruko Michiharu Is that what this is? www.amazon.com/SEGA-Genesis-Ultimate-Portable-Player-Built-/dp/B017S4B554/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1458925528&sr=8-2&keywords=sega+genesis+portable
+Rerez i wonder if you can hack the game system so you can put more games in it
+jacob aboytes Or at least use the screen for something else maybe a mini portable MAME arcade deal.
To get rid of that sticky residue, use 99% isopropyl alcohol. Put some on a cloth and rub it against the sticky surface. I had the same issue with a few old controllers. Removes the sticky film.
Omg, Shane i can tell how hard you work on this vids man keep on making more and don't stop the live streams you knew we love it.
Never been here this early so, guess I'll just say how great your content is man! keep up the good work!
+ThunderRaccoon Well thank you very much! :)
If I didn't know better, the game featured @ 3:29 actually looks kinda like "Goof Troop" on the SNES!
That's because it clearly used ripped sprites from Goof Troop and slightly altered them: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-1W2fhdq-VL0/UClSu89tMrI/AAAAAAAAHw0/WH6AAliJ7_I/s1600/DisneyGoofTroop-620x.jpg
Those graphics are bright and colorful. I like it.
+EndUser2090 With the screen as sharp as it is, it really stands out with the bright colors.
+Rerez Remember me? :)
I had this console. There was a toys retailer in Spain called Jugettos (kinda the Spanish Toys'R'Us) that sold this as it's own console
I've bought this console back in the day, it's not so bad. Nothing like pop station anyway. The best use of this is to plug in the tv and let the roulette roll in the background
If its sticky, would that not make it "The Pocket Wet Dream Console"? (sorry, I could not resist!) XP
2:16 wat, that's Clark from Ikari Warriors/KOF?!
+Han Daimond In the beat em up right?
jawzdeadeye Yeah.
Looks like kof 908 Clark or close to that.
+Han Daimond It's always fun to spot the stolen sprites on things like this :)
3:32 "Robotic horse game" has enemies ripped off from Goof Troop on SNES. The pirates have a beak and tail drawn over them, the bees have wings and a tail attached, and the snakes have weird alien antennae lol.
+velocity37 Also the weird game with the gnome has stats indicators stolen right from Rayman
in the early 2000's a lot of electronics equipment had a certain kind of rubberized coating that didn't age well, I have a set of speakers that had the same coating, and after a number of years the coating basically mixes so that rather than the inside sticking to the product surface and the outside being sealed, it's all sticky. I found that if careful and with a damp cloth, you can actually wash/scrub away the coating, which sucks since it ends up just being plain plastic underneath, but less sketchy than the grossness of the rubber coating.
Whoa whoa whoa, that game at 2:49 uses floor tiles stolen from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and edited destroyable blocks as floating platforms!
Another fantastic video! I've been binge-watching Rerez and I love it when I get a notification saying that a new video's been posted because I know it's going to be high quality, entertaining and hosted by Shane, a guy that seems totally genuine (a rarity these days!)
That girl's scream gave my dog a jump. lol.
3:30 hey those chicken pirates are just the dog pirates from Goof Troop on the snes but with a beak and a tail!
just to say i love your vids dont stop or il cry
Hi, I can explain to you the reason for so many breakout games.
They're probably the easiest thing to make. I'm learning to become a videogame developer and my first game was a breakout clone just because they're so simple.
Give someone an hour, and they could make a breakout clone or two.
The block-matching game is identical to Denki Blocks on the GBC, GBA, and PSP; having completed Denki Blocks for the GBC, I can definitely agree that these type of puzzle games are really difficult.
What a shame, Takara has some really nice stuff out there. I'd like something exactly like that, but that runs emulators.
Old Game Box Look into Raspberry Pi Mini
1:06 Or as it's even better known, Zuma.
Or if you played DS or Wii, Magnetica Or ActionLoop.
The 'boxes and switches' game is based on Sokoban, released on Japanese NEC PCs in the 80s, but its been ported to basically everything in one form or another.
+ArcturusDeluxe , and Boxxle.
My dad used to be highly addicted to it.
For the first action game they "borrowed" an sprite from KOF for the main character. I think it's Clark, but it also have a ressemblance with Terry.
That Robot Horse must be one of Robot Unicorn Attack ancestors...
That beat em up had Clark Still in it. Well I'm sure it's not actually him
but they look very similar.
Not surprising since Takara did port a lot of the Neo Geo games like
Fatal Fury, The Art of Fighting and King of the Monster 1&2 as well as Samurai Shodown
to Snes and the Genesis/Megadrive.
Wait a second! The cars in the game about the Robot horse at 3:45 are clearly the truck of the shipping worker from Harvest Moon for the SNES! Thinking about it the fountain at 3:50 and the fence at 4:03 in the same game are also from Harvest Moon for the SNES!
That pinball game ripped the numbers straight from Mario's Pinball Land/Super Mario 64!
Oh man, finally i found it! One of my biggest friends from school had one of those, its was the red model. In a age of no internet acess, no handheld gaming aside from some simple Symbian games on Nokia cellphones, this felt like a dream! He later gave it to me for a day to play at my home. I remember we mostly played the pig platform game and the falling platformer game. I still remember the music from these games.
Here in Brazil it was called Game Conny PDC, and i remember it had a somewhat big advertise for these kind of device. It had ads on paper and on TV.
Feeding frenzy is so good
The game at 1:20 was a clone of a puzzle game for the Game Boy (Original) called 'Kwirk'.
It’s strange how calm he is even when talking about terrible games, almost like his first Wireless 60 review. It’s strangely nostalgic although I prefer it when he’s losing his mind lmao.
The dude bowling with a rose reminds me of 'kingpin' the bowling movie with bill murray.
This looks more impressive than the entire Atari Jaguar Library.
3:46
I think that's the truck the shipper drives in Harvest Moon on the SNES
The gnome game also uses the Rayman 1 font for some reason.
6:20 Nice to see Tutenga get work after Mario Land.
You mean Tatanga?
The mechanical horse game seems to be imitating frogger adventures on the GBA
Omg, I cant wait for robot horse 2!!!
Now i can bring dream whenever i want
Shane: Cactuses
Perfectionists: ITS CACTI YOU DUNCE BIG FAIL THATS AN F- FOR YOU
One of the best small unknown consoles. Hell even some of the games arent clones !
some games are even good !
I see older video, less raging... Hahaha...
Your new video's you go Akuma Demon Mode Sometimes :P
That one side scroller shooter seemingly asset flipped an enemy from Twinbee SNES
It's sticky? I'm sold.
Relly happy this insane rate of video creation. You inspire me for all this hard work keep em going!
well at least overall it is very colorful and looks nice
I'd like someone who works in plastic engineering to come along and explain why that faceplate melts in your hands.
+Firevine I've since been told it's the rubberized cover they put on it. After a few years it just starts to degrade. Real forward thinking...
+Rerez I've had some rubber feet on varying electronics, and the rubber around the headphone jack on an old cell phone do the same.
+Rerez This is something I have run into more times than I can count. Sometimes from entirely different decades. You'd think chemical engineers would learn but they don't.
3:01. They ripped the life and coins counter from Rayman (PS1)
I noticed that too.
2:13 - That's Clark from King of Fighters! and Ikari Warriors!
I still have this thing in 2020 lol
Now i realised that this third game "Gnome" has the HUD from the first Rayman game.
Here in 2017, we have the Switch. Its likw the A/I, but with a HDMI
Apple-eating Robot Horse needs a comeback for the 2020s.
5:04 switch comes the next year* Conwensadence I THINK NOT
0:19 Did you just literally pull that console out of your ass? Because it looked that way.
Have you never heard of back pockets?
Uncultured Swine Yes, but pulling out of his ass is a much hilarious possibility and makes for a laugh.
@@TheGollddMAN what if he sat on it and it just got stuck there
Interesting little knick-knack. Definitely a knock-off GB Micro.
Flaming Antonio wants his video back
They also had these in a local toy chain in Spain. I thought they were somewhat cool, but after seeing this review, yeah, thank god I didn't buy one.
3:04
Now I dont read stick writing, but Im pretty sure the title of the game is "Marco the Incel in Bowling for Roasties"
you know what? at first I didn't care for your style but after a few videos it's grown on me. subbed
All your videos are pure gold. Thanks for all your work!
If it had a working Tetris, maybe it would have fared better, but the limit of the library compared to the Game Boy family really sunk it before it could even shine.
The box pushing game was originally called Sokoban.
I had one of these !
Good video
8:14 The Pinball game uses the Super Mario 64 font as well as similar graphics for the coins.
The game is actually a clone of Mario Pinball Land for the GBA
damn that dinosaur is thicc af I know what game I'm going to be playing
Just realized - that pinball game uses the same font for the numbers from the Mario GBA Pinball Game... I think it was Mario Pinball Land or something? (Which, in turn uses the Mario 64 styled number font).
Reminds me of the GP2X
6:19
“Little strange falic looking green...um...things”
The pinball game looks really close to Mario Pinball Land with the coins and font
