The Marlboro deal was a points counter on every pack. You saved those up and exchanged them for premiums. Most of which Marlboro branded with their name and logo. I have several items from over the years when I smoked. The Lynx wasn't aimed at kids. You had to be an adult to buy the cigarettes. You had to be an adult to redeem their points. It wasn't an evil campaign to lure kids into a life of lung cancer.
Tommy Hilfiger was absolutely massive at my school for about three weeks in 1996. That's a couple of years before the GBC though so they clearly missed the boat.
Sometimes I wonder if people who make these videos actually even lived thru the times they were talking about... Hilfiger was a hot brand in the 90s, in part because of alot of the rappers at the time wearing it and shouting him out in songs. This brand partnership is nowhere near as out of left field as this video presents it to be.
He's English, Tommy Hilfiger was a big name but I don't really remember seeing it very often. Tommy Hilfiger actually opened their first store in the UK in the same year the GBC came out though (98)
I remember Hilfiger being really popular when i was in middle school, so like 1994-96. This was on east coast (Baltimore, Maryland). I also remember Nautica stuff being really big then.
Bear Ray? The Atari Lynx isn't sub par. It's a 16-bit system on the same level as the Commodore Amiga. And people still make games for it. It's also still the 1st color handheld game system which has a bigger screen than things like the Gameboy.
@@Veritas0589 I bought mine at Federated on Rosemead in San Gabriel, CA. They had the BEST commercials back then, with Shadow Stephens, if I recall correctly.
I love it when you talk about MTV's Glory Days you talk about TV shows its Glory Days were back in the eighties and nineties when they actually played music
@@j.combes1230 glory is subjective. Mtv was pretty ubiquitous with popular culture in the late 90sv earlier 2000. The challenge is the only thing still on from then. Mid 2000s MTV really shifted to only shows.
I love the special edition games and consoles. I'm a collector and I have come across several in goodwill and other thrift shops. Most thrift stores don't mark these special editions up in price either. They just price it like any normal electronic item and put it on the shelf.
@@Shadow-gm1qy now that covid is over the demand is dropping and because of inflation people will be unloading their hoards which will make the prices plummet. you can already see miles of ebay listings with no activity. most video games arent rare or worth anything. the ones that are have already been gobbled up by serious collectors. all of these people that jumped in on the recent collecting craze just have piles of really common games. its all just e-waste that will be bought and sold in lots on ebay until about 75% of it winds up in dumpsters because its not worth the space. i worked in the used games industry for a bit. there just arent enough people that want to hang onto a copy of super metroid to warrant the existence of all those copies out in the wild.
Not really. It's a way of preserving titles. As we can see with old movies, they become lost to time. There are a lot of games that are locked on old consoles. Not just games though. Demos like PT. Are stuck in old drives on these consoles. So a lot of these pieces are to be preserved by collectors. So many games are impossible to play if it weren't for emulation. Emulation is usually made by collectors dumping their games files. So you need the physical copy. It may seem like a waste but it's actually preserving a history and a culture. Also thanks to copywrite laws physical copies are preferred because a digital copy can be removed from your library. Basically you buy the right to play not the right to own. So if that game for any reason is removed you can't play it.
Yeah, this kid clearly has no idea wtf he's talking about. Calls a cupcake, hot cakes; calls hip-hop videos, R&B videos; refers to Mtv's glory days as the early 2000's; dismisses the Game Gear AND Lynx...
Calling the Atari Lynx sub-par is like screaming "I'm clueless." The Lynx was the most powerful handheld made until the GBA came out 12 years later. The Lynx was a 16 bit handheld with 4096 colors and a blitter chip giving it unlimited sprites. Shadow of the Beast was very well done on it with multiple layers of parallax. Rampart and Blue Lighting were great, and California Games was good. Today there is an active demo scene on the Lynx. The biggest problem it had was the quality of LCD panels as a whole back then wasn't high. It was relatively new tech. If you have a Lynx now it is worth replacing the screen with a modern one, and solutions exist.
Preach! And it has the best port of Xybots! So many great arcade ports. When I heard the maker of the vid say that, I knew he was full of it. I would love to see someone do a port of Prince of Persia - I think with how smooth the Lynx was, it would be ideal.
Look, you're just feeding an Internet troll here. Has he had any kind words to say about any of the specimen? No. None at all. Not even the absolutely gorgeous Panasonic Q, and i've seen this thing in person, it's AMAZING. And what's wrong with a red Game Gear with a Coca-Cola logo?

That's specifically what it had going for itself. The one thing that speaks against Game Gear is just how annoying it is, as a system. Because it's kinda bulky, and it will take your batteries, and it will eat them, it will eat all of them, and it will ask for more every time you as much as glance at it. So it's more a system that you want to use on an AC brick at home or a cigarette lighter socket in a car, less while out and about, at a bus stop, on a bus, etc. Game Boy largely had very simple games, i think your perception is coloured because you've got it mixed up with a much more responsive Game Boy Pocket and games that appeared very late in the system's life time. And even better games in the Color ara.

Honestly, the Sega CDX and Nintendo Panasonic Q... 2 of the coolest multi use consoles ever. Very expensive to own but,,, damn they just are retro collectors DREAMS! I imagine if Sega didnt end up doing so bad in the late 90s, they woulda released a super console that played Sega CD 32X Genesis and Saturn, and itd look something like the CDX but much bigger, maybe CDX plus Neptune together!
the atari lynx was an awesome handheld console of its time, i had one and loved it. it was the first console to offer a color screen and for a handheld released in 89 the graphics were great
Yes, I actually owned one back in the day too and ditched my Game boy for it. Calling it Sub Par shows he never played it or is seeing it through 2019 Goggles. It was like a PS5 of handhelds. It just lacked 3rd party support and poor battery life.
Indeed, indeed! And it's quite a stretch to say that it "died a very early death in 1996". Considering was released in 1989, that's not a bad lifespan, at all.
Cut the crap, it was a complete pile of shit. 98% of the games on it were crap, the console itself was badly designed piss poor battery life and the induction price was far too much. It WAS NOT a good handheld.
Like you, I loved (and still do, though I haven't played mine in years) the Lynx and fully supported it with my thick gaming booklet full of hints, codes and maps that I used to sell. I was one of the first, and in some cases, the actual first, players to share these kinds of things with the public, well before the magazines got ahold of them. I have a friendly acquaintance at Atari that shared tons of promotional material, the maps, unreleased at-the-time codes, etc. I even had the counterpoint display case that my local Babbage's in Glendale, California used for selling them. My unit is still in perfectly working condition and own nearly all of the games.
6:00 Glory days? WTF? No, those were exactly the days it went to shit because they *stopped* playing music videos in favor of reality TV and slapstick trash.
The Atari Lynx was far from sub par, it was twice as strong as the Game Boy, had a colour screen with backlighting, and worked well, it was the only hand held that could make that claim.
@@snichelsticks8653 yes, the wonderful Sega had the best of both worlds, but was released a bit later. I still want a Game Gear with a few fun games, but that'll have to wait a few years.
Yeah he seems to confuse good consoles with successful consoles. There's a lot of good consoles with great games on them that didn't do that good. The Atari Lynx also has some really solid games on it.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought something like this. I get if you don’t like the console but like... wasn’t it way more high tech than the game boy and still relatively successful when you consider the competition? Not to mention it had tons of fun games.
I actually knew about the Panasonic Q because I have definitely seen some videos at talked about that. I think that actually it was also a pretty cool thing to be able to play GameCube games and play DVDs, but yet it wasn't much reason to get that even if they manage to get an international release. I'm sure the regular GameCube would have been a lot more affordable.
Just because something didn't outsell something else doesn't mean it wasn't any good. I was a manager in a game store at the time and I can tell you that the Lynx was, HANDS DOWN, the favorite among us... As long as you played it with an AC adaptor (it chewed through Duracells like you wouldn't believe!)
Indeed, indeed! And it's quite a stretch to say that it "died a very early death in 1996". Considering was released in 1989, that's not a bad lifespan, at all. (Although, Chip's Challenge was far from its best game in my opinion.)
I actually have a bunch of the adventure team malboro things like small things like small pins or keychains but I wish I could get a hold of that console haha
Who else giggled immaturely at "big red unit"? And hey, the Game Gear had a lot of great games, like Power Strike II! The Game Gear sucked because it chewed through batteries and had a blurry screen, not because the games were bad.
I'm surprised I didn't stop the video and just drool over the Audi R8 console for an hour. Then I found out the contest also had a Ford Mustang themed console which is totally killer looking.
I’m Surprised Kool Aid didnt have a crossover with Nintendo knowing you see it on every single juice bottle/powder packet back then. But never knew about the Coca Cola game, I learn something new everyday.
The Panasonic Q gamecube is a work of art and by far the coolest gamecube. Even though it's a bit weird it does have some additional functions and buttons. It also has an aluminum body and is covered in that mirror finish. Light up LED controller ports. The list goes on...
IKN? It's like a folklore people forget. MTV used to play music videos around the clock with breaf interludes of Ren and Stimpy or Beavis and Butthead....ect I can't even remember the first actual people tv show, was it "The Fifth wheel"? Hell I don't even think there was actual commercials for the longest time.
@@KaseyBadwell I think the first show with people was "The Real World New York", if my memory serves me correctly. There were shows before that though, like The Headbangers Ball, The Jon Stewart Show, and Mtv News, that all featured real people. There was of course early shows like Aeon Flux and Liquid Television, which is where Beavis & Butthead started. Before that in the 80's though, it was nonstop music videos 24/7 with no commercials.
@@StageRight123 I didn't count shows about music because they still played music videos. I loved head bangers ball. Remember the summer Lincoln Park got big? They played numb at least once every hour for like a month. Lol
Atari Lynx sub par? Really? It was the first 16 bit handheld, the first handheld with both a colored and back lit screen, and could even play pseudo 3D games.. Sure it didn't sell great but I'd say it wiped the floor with the original Gameboy with it's unlit monochrome screen and two channel audio in most terms. XD Also I want a Coca Cola Game Gear now, with it's titles like Sonic, SHINOBI, COLUMNS, STREETS OF RAGE, and a bunch of ports that weren't as butchered as the Gameboy versions.
Surprised a random Rolex branded PS1 was not released in 1998? The disc hood would be fitted with a Rolex watch and plastic casing replaced in solid plated silver.
I dont care what no one say, I grew up on game gear and was my fav console next to gameboy, just had to buy charger pack instead of 6 or 8 AA batteries
Hey I haf a GameCube and absolutely LOVED that system! Had more "couch multi-player" games than PS or X-crack. And I would totally have bought the "Panasonic GameCube" if it had come to the US!
I remember saving marlboro points, there was a catalog that was packed with Marlboro branded stuff. I can't recal what I got from it, but i smoked a lot of Marlboro's. Thankfully my last cigarette was November, 2001 after smoking 21 years

Wait... So this band that apperently was around in 2007 decided to back/mod a console that was big 2 decades prior... Yeah. Decisions like that and it's no surprise we aren't talking about... Whatever that band was named.
These consoles are pure history and some of them (like Panasonic Q) are unmistakable beautiful. All the mean spirited commentary gets old quickly. You see, there are snarky commentators around, like Ashens, but you can see he is sincere and have truly relatable and balanced opinion. Humor needs heart.
All of these are worth serious money. The weirder, the better. If I had known about the Tommy Game Boy, I'd have found a way to get one and kept it unopened.
American Girl (Mattel) also had a special edition bright pink Nintendo DS which is only available at American Girl stores in 2007 and featured 2 pack-in games - American Girl: Julie Finds a Way (THQ) & Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt (Nintendo)
Sorry no, the Atari Lynx was a superb handheld gaming system. I still have mine in fully functioning condition and looks quite good, as well as nearly all of the games, all stored away in an excellent handmade carrying case. Back in early 90s when it was popular, I used to sell a thick gaming booklet with every code, hint and map for the various titles available through the mail (I had a friendly acquaintance at Atari that shared tons of data and freebies with me, all nicely stored away in a big binder). A lot of the codes for many of the games, and especially the instructions on how to play the hidden fractal generator in "Chips Challenge" and the "Game of Life" in "Slime World", were shared by myself first to fans. Yes, the Lynx is very dated now, but the games are still fun. The one shown at 5:47 is the first unit released to the public. The stupid Marlboro one is the last model produced and the most common style. I do like the red color. Shame it is ruined with the fugly white, uneven text over the screen. Very amateurish.
As I recall wasn't there some story with the Wii Supreme and some company that's since gone bankrupt (probably from creating an item even Tiffany's would question the logic behind making) involving trying to send a unit to the Queen of England at one point?
"Malbora" .... Also, at 7:59, rumbling is not Force Feedback. Force Feedback is when something like a joystick gives resistance to the control and reacts to what is happening in a game.
i had that yellow tommy hilfiger gameboy colour... traded for it & used it to kill time in between chops LoL never thought i'd see it 20yrs later as a "collectors item" though i remember i got it from a girl who worked at the bay

6:00 Glory days? WTF? No, those were exactly the days it went to shit because they *stopped* playing music videos in favor of reality TV and slapstick trash.
But they would play the same 3 videos anyways man
The Atari Lynx was far from sub par, it was twice as strong as the Game Boy, had a colour screen with backlighting, and worked well, it was the only hand held that could make that claim.
game gear
@@snichelsticks8653 yes, the wonderful Sega had the best of both worlds, but was released a bit later.
I still want a Game Gear with a few fun games, but that'll have to wait a few years.
Ridiculously dismissive of the Game Gear there. Absolutely clueless.
Richard M it was a gem the Sega game gear had a bigger screen
Yeah he seems to confuse good consoles with successful consoles. There's a lot of good consoles with great games on them that didn't do that good. The Atari Lynx also has some really solid games on it.
This guy is clearly much younger than he's letting on. Tommy Hilfiger was huge at that time for example.
There are lots of reasons you could be critical of game gear and not like it. 2 hour battery life from 4 AA batteries anyone?
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought something like this. I get if you don’t like the console but like... wasn’t it way more high tech than the game boy and still relatively successful when you consider the competition? Not to mention it had tons of fun games.
I actually knew about the Panasonic Q because I have definitely seen some videos at talked about that. I think that actually it was also a pretty cool thing to be able to play GameCube games and play DVDs, but yet it wasn't much reason to get that even if they manage to get an international release. I'm sure the regular GameCube would have been a lot more affordable.
The Coca Cola Game Gear looks good.
James Rolfe’s Nintoaster tho
had to press stop when he said "subpar handheld", the lynx was incredible when it was released and had some great games (chips challenge anyone?)
Just because something didn't outsell something else doesn't mean it wasn't any good. I was a manager in a game store at the time and I can tell you that the Lynx was, HANDS DOWN, the favorite among us... As long as you played it with an AC adaptor (it chewed through Duracells like you wouldn't believe!)
Chuck Hunnefield it shouldn’t have been a portable if you can’t play it unplugged
It had some good games but the hardware itself was barely handheld.
Indeed, indeed! And it's quite a stretch to say that it "died a very early death in 1996". Considering was released in 1989, that's not a bad lifespan, at all. (Although, Chip's Challenge was far from its best game in my opinion.)
@@SeekerLancer You definitely could. I always did, and didn't find it to have that short of a battery life...
"Mom can we have Scott the Woz?"
"We have Scott the Woz at home"
Scott the Woz at home:
Scott the Woz at home: Hey y’all
Yes, let’s please have some Woz. This dude sucks ass.
I actually have a bunch of the adventure team malboro things like small things like small pins or keychains but I wish I could get a hold of that console haha
Who else giggled immaturely at "big red unit"? And hey, the Game Gear had a lot of great games, like Power Strike II! The Game Gear sucked because it chewed through batteries and had a blurry screen, not because the games were bad.
Pepsi-Man vs. Coca-Cola kid NEEDS to happen somebody make this fangame NOW
Start a homebrew incentive on Reddit - you may actually find someone as this has not been done before, and yet both are rather known. ^^
I'm surprised I didn't stop the video and just drool over the Audi R8 console for an hour. Then I found out the contest also had a Ford Mustang themed console which is totally killer looking.
I’m Surprised Kool Aid didnt have a crossover with Nintendo knowing you see it on every single juice bottle/powder packet back then. But never knew about the Coca Cola game, I learn something new everyday.
Imagine if someone has the winning ticket for the gold SP inside a still sealed box 🤔
Or maybe someone got it for Christmas and threw it away as a kid as if it was any other console box.
The Panasonic Q gamecube is a work of art and by far the coolest gamecube. Even though it's a bit weird it does have some additional functions and buttons. It also has an aluminum body and is covered in that mirror finish. Light up LED controller ports. The list goes on...
"Marlbruh"
Also...the Lynx wasn't subpar. It was way ahead of it's time.
my cousin once installed a PS2 into the front passenger's seat of his car, so the person riding shotgun could play on a little TV haha
that’s awesome haha
"Remember Mtv's glory days?..." Proceeds to talk about the early 2000's... WTF??
IKN? It's like a folklore people forget. MTV used to play music videos around the clock with breaf interludes of Ren and Stimpy or Beavis and Butthead....ect
I can't even remember the first actual people tv show, was it "The Fifth wheel"? Hell I don't even think there was actual commercials for the longest time.
@@KaseyBadwell I think the first show with people was "The Real World New York", if my memory serves me correctly. There were shows before that though, like The Headbangers Ball, The Jon Stewart Show, and Mtv News, that all featured real people. There was of course early shows like Aeon Flux and Liquid Television, which is where Beavis & Butthead started. Before that in the 80's though, it was nonstop music videos 24/7 with no commercials.
@@StageRight123 I didn't count shows about music because they still played music videos. I loved head bangers ball.
Remember the summer Lincoln Park got big? They played numb at least once every hour for like a month. Lol
@@KaseyBadwell I was talking about the original Headbangers ball back in the late '80's/early 90's with Ricky Rachtman.
@@StageRight123 yeah, I was just a kid back then, lol.
@5:13 It's illegal for cigarette companies to do that stuff now!
jayo1212 And that alone makes it very valuable.
Atari Lynx sub par? Really? It was the first 16 bit handheld, the first handheld with both a colored and back lit screen, and could even play pseudo 3D games.. Sure it didn't sell great but I'd say it wiped the floor with the original Gameboy with it's unlit monochrome screen and two channel audio in most terms. XD
Also I want a Coca Cola Game Gear now, with it's titles like Sonic, SHINOBI, COLUMNS, STREETS OF RAGE, and a bunch of ports that weren't as butchered as the Gameboy versions.
Marlboro had so much cool stuff back then. the walmart bags full of points good times
Never cared for game of thrones. Guess I'm alien lmao
I still want that Marlboro Lynx though :D
And I got the sleeping bag set and duffal bag to boot
(Tell me what's next alien sex)
@@CINOSALLSTAR idk I do have this thing for probing females ;) .
@@sketchdajuggalo AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA XDXDXD 👏👏👏👽👾👌
just like movie trailers nowdays you gave everything out in the intro before you even got to the video,
Surprised a random Rolex branded PS1 was not released in 1998? The disc hood would be fitted with a Rolex watch and plastic casing replaced in solid plated silver.
I dont care what no one say, I grew up on game gear and was my fav console next to gameboy, just had to buy charger pack instead of 6 or 8 AA batteries
Honestly? That Panasonic Q looks dope. If it wasn't limited to NTSC, I would get it, actually. It just looks so neat o.o
Hey I haf a GameCube and absolutely LOVED that system! Had more "couch multi-player" games than PS or X-crack. And I would totally have bought the "Panasonic GameCube" if it had come to the US!
The background music for your videos.
McGovP do you know what background music this is called or the name of this one?
I remember saving marlboro points, there was a catalog that was packed with Marlboro branded stuff. I can't recal what I got from it, but i smoked a lot of Marlboro's. Thankfully my last cigarette was November, 2001 after smoking 21 years
My dad was able to get a marlboro jacket.
If you were a dealer like ran a gas station they had a whole different catalog
I don’t know why but I always thought the tommy gameboy looked pretty aesthetically pleasing
Snippy comments at the Atari Lynx and Game Gear, WHY DO YOU HATE THEM SO, PETER?
I'll take a Game gear over a Game boy colour any day of the week.
Probably because the game gear takes a lot of batteries to play it and die within an hour and half of gameplay as for Atari idk anybody who had one
Too true. This guy is too young to even properly remember it.
I think a lot of people have the idea that 'If the Internet says it's bad so I'll say it's bad' Without ever owning or experiencing it for themself's.
The Atari Lynx was, and never is, sub-par.
Indeed, indeed! And it's quite a stretch to say that it "died a very early death in 1996". Considering was released in 1989, that's not a bad lifespan, at all.
Why not Trojan rubber branded handheld. Protect you handheld and play for hours. 😂 lol
Omg you should have more likes
If you play for more than four hours see a doctor.
My god that R8 Xbox had a much potential, it could have looked so good but it just looks dopey
If u played Ataris pole position on it you'd actually have had a Marlboro sign to make a kick ass thumbnail.
Smoke a cig while u play a handheld, nah I'll smoke a blunt and play console lol
dude whoa weed bro?? yeah hell yeah bro you're so cool
@@majkati69 cringe
@@TheJamesMeals whoa dude you smoke weed too bro?? epic dude fat rips you must be the coolest guy out there
@@majkati69 you sure burned them .
Plebs I'll bang heroin and use a pc
That's game over for me.
These special edition consoles are ridiculous.
Wait... So this band that apperently was around in 2007 decided to back/mod a console that was big 2 decades prior... Yeah. Decisions like that and it's no surprise we aren't talking about... Whatever that band was named.
This guy seems like the type I wouldn't want to sit down and have a beer with.
I want that Marlboro thing
Glad to have found you two again; I'm a fan from back in the WC days. Enjoyed the vid!
These consoles are pure history and some of them (like Panasonic Q) are unmistakable beautiful. All the mean spirited commentary gets old quickly.
You see, there are snarky commentators around, like Ashens, but you can see he is sincere and have truly relatable and balanced opinion. Humor needs heart.
All of these are worth serious money. The weirder, the better. If I had known about the Tommy Game Boy, I'd have found a way to get one and kept it unopened.
to be fair, when i was in school it was tommy hilfiger and nautica
The Virgin - The Marlboro Lynx
The Chad - The Coca-Cola Game Gear
NES Shoe is the most drip thing i've ever seen.
To be fair to the Coca-Cola Kid [Cid?], most of my best adventures HAVE involved "disappearing clothes" and "induced epilepsy"...
That Audi console was dope, I don't know what the hell he's talking about!!
American Girl (Mattel) also had a special edition bright pink Nintendo DS which is only available at American Girl stores in 2007 and featured 2 pack-in games - American Girl: Julie Finds a Way (THQ) & Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt (Nintendo)
Nah, I bet quite a few billionaires like wee sports at the very least.
Sorry no, the Atari Lynx was a superb handheld gaming system. I still have mine in fully functioning condition and looks quite good, as well as nearly all of the games, all stored away in an excellent handmade carrying case. Back in early 90s when it was popular, I used to sell a thick gaming booklet with every code, hint and map for the various titles available through the mail (I had a friendly acquaintance at Atari that shared tons of data and freebies with me, all nicely stored away in a big binder). A lot of the codes for many of the games, and especially the instructions on how to play the hidden fractal generator in "Chips Challenge" and the "Game of Life" in "Slime World", were shared by myself first to fans. Yes, the Lynx is very dated now, but the games are still fun. The one shown at 5:47 is the first unit released to the public. The stupid Marlboro one is the last model produced and the most common style. I do like the red color. Shame it is ruined with the fugly white, uneven text over the screen. Very amateurish.
Discovered your channel tonight, been watching your videos. Good stuff, brothers. Subbed.
If only the AKB48 PSP was on this list given that was an insanely bizarre Special Edition PSP.
Atari Lynx sub par? Nah you wrong there, it was too futuristic for its time. Gameboy had green and black graphics.
You can't fairly say the Lynx, which came out in 1989, died "a very early death in 1996."
And it was not remotely sub par. This guy clearly never played it.
I still have my Tommy Hilfigre GB Color. Got picked on in elementary school for it. Loved seeing it in the list.
'Sub Par Handheld' Hmmm. The good old days of Nintendont in the dark.
"The gaming equivalent to the racecar bed" lmao. So true. But imagine how well the 2 of those would go together in a kids room decore
As I recall wasn't there some story with the Wii Supreme and some company that's since gone bankrupt (probably from creating an item even Tiffany's would question the logic behind making) involving trying to send a unit to the Queen of England at one point?
For PlayStation fans, the Net Yaroze is one of the best special versions of a console ever made!
Man i could really do with a Marlboro right now.
"that's glasshouses isn't it..." HAHA
Don't worry, I laughed at your platform shoes joke. XD
I LOVE how the Audi R8 Xbox One looks!
"Malbora" ....
Also, at 7:59, rumbling is not Force Feedback. Force Feedback is when something like a joystick gives resistance to the control and reacts to what is happening in a game.
i had that yellow tommy hilfiger gameboy colour... traded for it & used it to kill time in between chops LoL
never thought i'd see it 20yrs later as a "collectors item" though i remember i got it from a girl who worked at the bay
The Suzuki S X box may well have a 'retractable hood' but I like the way it projects the game on the inside of the bonnet!
Cool Spot is still the best soft-drink video game character.
I think I actually saw a Tommy Hilfiger gameboy in Toys r Us (rip)
