i don't understand why he didn't let derrick keep the channel going. cgrundertow was derrick. it makes no sense that he told derrick to fuck off and removed access to the channel. unless derreick didn't want todo it anymore
thatsnotagoodidea Probably because Tiger Electronics knew they made a huge steaming pile of shit and are just giving a middle finger for every unfortunate soul who bought this device or even played it :D
Logical Phallusy To be quite honest, nearly every system out at the time was in some ways better than the 2600. But it had it's moments, I guess. I guess it's just too far before my time for me to really care. The oldest system I ever owned (and it was secondhand at the time) was an atari 800XL Granted that's from 1987, but it's basically a cosmetic revamp of the late 70's atari 8 bit home computers... I know comparing a home computer to a console is unfair, but the games were still objectively better, and it was from the same era, and even the same manufacturer. -shrug- It can be difficult to appreciate certain things in hindsight.
I don't know a lot about the Gamecom or its software, but the "Centipede" name does carry some weigh, although from what I see here it isn't a great port (but for Gamecom, likely one of its best). I think that's definitely pretty sad that arguably the best game of this handheld was a title that originated in 1980.
For any system: 1 blow into the cartridge slot 2 blow the cartridge contacts 3 put it in all the way, then pull it out for like 1mm. If this doesn't work repeat process. After 4 repeats start thinking about cleaning the contacts with alcohol.
my gamecom does the same thing. its the connection solder/stickytape to the screen going bad for old age. i never got around to taking it apart to re attach it because it is a gamecom and not that important. hell these things are so cheeply made old age was like 10 years with this thing and mine is a newer model
I really want this console to have a homebrew scene. I'm sure with enough attempts someone could make an awesome game on here. If all else fails just port Zork to it.
Tristan M Which shows that the underlying hardware powering the thing was vaguely decent. Too bad they chose such an incredibly poor screen though. The gameboy screen isn't great either in hindsight, but it's a hell of a lot better than this thing's abomination of a display.
"If only there was somebody here to hit with this thing"
Yeah I miss Derrick as well.
We should inivite him over so they can reunite....and hit him with the gamecom
yes that would be great

Derrick needs to return like the Jedi
I don't know why Derrick left either. all I know is he has another channel called themanthology show.
1:52 Did that thing say game com fuck you?
Lmao I heard it too
thatsnotagoodidea Probably because Tiger Electronics knew they made a huge steaming pile of shit and are just giving a middle finger for every unfortunate soul who bought this device or even played it :D
i heard it xDDDDDDD
as someone who owned the game.com... it might as well have
It sounds like "Fuck you" to me. It's like the machine is a piece of dog shit and it knows it and doesn't want to hear your stupid opinion of it.
Easily the best game related channel on youtube by miles
This has more of that old school CGR feel.
This looks like the most playable gamecom game
you know that you have a bad console when in 1999 you still can't top the atari 2600 version of a game.
No, the 2600 version is really really great.

yeah even for a portable console that's pretty sad. A lot of gameboy games could make solid ports of old arcade games and that came out in 1989

i was expecting something AVGN while the game com started up

I WANT THIS MANS VOICE ON MY VOICEMAIL
I like the idea of putting a simple game like this on a modern game console like they did here.
If you can hold your breath, Richard, if you can hold your breath
Mark said New Jersey and it didn't have a reverb effect. What is this madness?
I would love to see you get that on the net.
I had this game, and a translucent purple gamecom. I wonder how rare those were?
"Turn on! TURN ON!"
my gamecom does the same thing. its the connection solder/stickytape to the screen going bad for old age. i never got around to taking it apart to re attach it because it is a gamecom and not that important. hell these things are so cheeply made old age was like 10 years with this thing and mine is a newer model
1:20 I guess you threw it at Derek one too many times?
Such a sad sound 😆 More Game Com please.
nice vid man
I really want this console to have a homebrew scene. I'm sure with enough attempts someone could make an awesome game on here. If all else fails just port Zork to it.
someone to hit with the Gamecom? ITS A HINT! IS DEREK COMING BACK? :D
The Gamecom is also dead from blunt-force trauma from being hit by a Derek
One can only hope
Mr. Teddy McBear he won't come back.. neveeer!
I just go back to playing centipede on my phone
Oh, so you do miss Derek lol
Oh god, try the GameCom EMULATOR!! YES! Someone saw fit to make one. All roms included. Its better than the console!
I find the speed of the emulator to be kinda slow. I been setting it to 130 speed in the config file.
*if only it was faster than 3frames a minute,ps4 got some real competition here.hahaha
Well, this video is off to a good start.
do milipede for the commodore pet
Where is Derek???
Well this port looks.....interesting.
We want Derek back!
Vitor Machado We do?
Of course we do! Who else could get hit so well by a gamecom?
I miss the classic game room intro
Suggestion: Cut the time of your videos. They seem to drag on longer than needed.
In all fairness, this looks at least as good as the miserable attempts to update Centipede with modern 3D graphics.
You should mail the broken gamecom to Derek! ;)
oh my god lcd watch graphics.
game com graphics were not lcd watch graphics, they could exceed the game boy. the lag really impedes a lot of the functionality though

I wish theyd go back to the old formula
DATMARIODUDE Wish in one hand and shit in the other... :)
Awesome thanks
Anyone know any good shmups
you know your console is shit when much older Gameboy and the even older Game and Watch still works beyond better
The first system didn’t work because it was used too much for Derek beatings.
Only thing different in “updated” is tilted mushrooms thats it really lol
should review Defender for the original xbox. i still have never beaten it. 😧😳😨😱😩😠
there's a centipede game for the ps 1
Most underrated game console of all time. So much better than GBA.
It would have been good if it was released in 1983 or so
o wow. mark should just watch the atari 2600 centipede commercial instead.
HE SAID COKED UP CHICKEN
Thoroughly missing Derek right now :/
Do you really have to plaster that website in the video?
I think it's to stop watchmojo from stealing clips
Its never a good sign, when your 1997 handheld can't do an arcade game from 1980 right.
Game Com NOT Active
I expected a crappy game system to die after 20 years and being used as beating tool.
THE GAMECOM
Please stand by. Technical diffificulties brought to you by a crappy game console.
It's like a game system that only plays Nokia cell phone games!!
PS Vita has nothing on Game Com.
These things were made to make kids suffer.
Miss derek
CGR: Time to play one of the worst gaming consoles of all-time!
Game.Com: *Logo Starts* Game Com Fuck You! *then stops working*
Take a sledgehammer to it
lawl
😀
NOT TIGER, PLEASE NO
get in the zone, R ZONE
lmao!!
0:05 ugh that's just stupid
Joshua James Why?
Pyramidgod you never know what kind of interruptions be taking too much of my time
Joshua James Your self entitlement is pathetic...
it's no sega nomad forsure lol I hate tiger not real ones their cool but tiger hand held systems suck lol
Even the Sega Game Gear version is better
Game com - worse than the ET for Atari 2600
Ah, the game.BRICK. Some of CGR's best work is bashing this peice of junk!!! XD
Also, this is worse than Pac-Man for the Atari 2600.
Gamecom activly disappointing
Angry Video Game Nerd
Alejandro Carrillo no
Alejandro Carrillo no
no
no
Worst handheld console of all time.
I think the R-zone tops it.
r zone was a head-held
Not really
