At the rate this is going I can just imagine projecting forward 10 years or more and the museum has become this monolithic structure that you can get lost in for days with food kiosks dotted around so people don't starve. This is uniquely British and I hope it never stops expanding absorbing more and more cultural artifacts for the curious. And of course I want to go to there.
omg, i have that vampire one. scored it on a flee maket in france, as a german tourist. :D it still work fine, after all those yearrs. it's not the best donkey kong clone, but that custom VFD is *HUGE* and they made it look amazing, with a fresnel lense and bent foreground decals. and by the emperor, that thing is noisy!
I have a video of a Bowlatronic being played: ruclips.net/video/SR69TOFHxRU/видео.html Basically, after picking the number of players (one to four), the gameplay works as follows: -The little animated bowler at the top determines the speed of your throw, and you want to try to time your throw to happen just before the bowler crosses the line -You make your throw with the two rows of buttons: top row sets your initial position (which "column" you start from), and bottom row sets the curve put on the ball; all of which combined with the speed of your throw determines where the ball hits. Other than that, it's bowling lol.
yes it is a great book!!! and as for VFD yes exactly I had a brain fart when writing the title of this vid and didnt double check. fixed. they are all vfd. my brain was just not present at the time of writing the title
Love them! I have three grandstand ones: Firefox F7, scramble, and Astro wars. Also a tomy caveman, there’s something about the displays that’s just awesome
That Vampire game looks wicked. I grew up playing these games and drooling over the one’s we did not have in my Mum’s Marshall Ward catalogue. Wish I still had the Vectrex, was so playable in its era.
All that stuff gave me a little warm glow in my troubled and cold laden soul and strangely reminded me I need to watch 808 (2015) - the TR808 documentary that passed me by 5 years ago. What would be good and interesting to would be if the manufacturers of the old games, knowing that there little to no market value of their old LED/LCD/VFD games now, would allow someone to code them to be playable on Raspberry Pi Zero's and all in the name of preservation of quality old tech and for a good causes like technology history/education.
Can't believe we played these and actually thought it was cutting edge 🤦🏾♂️ I love the magnified glass, in reality the display is probably the size of a digital watch 🤣
I LOVE VFD!!!!!!!!!!! Been hoarding hundreds of Russian VFD (and Nixie) tubes over the last 10 years or so. VFD is becoming less and less used nowadays and if you still see it it's usually the boring matrix screens. I'm actually surprised it's still around. That multiple colour screen in the Vampire game: so effing gorgeous!
Have you ever seen experimental VFDs from planes or something? they are awesome. I wish they use VFDs in more devices these days, even dot matrix screens look cool when you remove dark glass and such thing.
@@SkinnyVampiress Totally agree Pioneer was the king of VFD in audio equipment in the 90's I have loads of these And check this one: ruclips.net/video/Omo3XvhsKd0/видео.html
@@Ni5ei yea I like how they use VFDs in (for example) CDJ-800 not only for display but inside the jog wheel too. But the tubes themselves are usually by noritake itron or futaba... I once repaired 90s stereo system which had 3D VFD display. You know it is not necessary to have all elements in the display on one level, electrons will fly anyway :) Some segments could be upfront and others could be further deep in the construction. So it used the space. It was very thick display about 4 centimeters. Absolutely awesome piece of technology. And it was by Futaba. I never saw anything like that because other stereos used just flat displays for everything.
@@Ni5ei oh, I don't remember... It was years ago. But I had a video with this VFD in operation, although the quality is crappy but anyway. It should be somewhere on my old hard drives. I tried to find it because right now I have one of the drives connected, but seems like it's somewhere else.. I will eventually upload it to my channel or maybe even make a video about VFDs and why they are cool and so on. So do you have a big collection of VFDs and nixies?
I totally forgot Coleco made freestanding games. We bought a ColecoVision my wife found. It's in the queue for resuscitation, if I ever find out where she put it.. 🙄😁
That Vampire one is a beauty! Only one of those I’ve seen before is the Bowling one; that thing was utterly inscrutable when I was a kid, and is only moreso now. My real foray into handheld games was with Tiger Electronics’ awful LCD screens... not particularly worth remembering in the Museum of Everything, those. Before LCDs took off, the shapes and sizes of cases were absolutely bananas for LED handhelds. Like your Safari one, there. 😂
haha yes that bowling thing is quite something haha. but yeah exactly well ill look into the tiger ones!!! who knows. maybe not now! but like Vauxhall Astra's who knows what the future holds!

haha. oh gosh well. time will tell. I must say actually having an outlet for a hoarding passion is sort of justifying more oddities to come along.
I would also suggest getting an Astrowars Grandstand. Incredible VFD space invaders clone :)
You could build a little robot with camera where everybody can drive through the museum and take a virtual remote tour :)
haha you have read my mind, im making a big trek, but I doubt ill have this done any time soon :D

That's a nice coffeetable book! That Vampire game looks interresting. It seems like that all these games have VFD screens.
yes it is a great book!!! and as for VFD yes exactly I had a brain fart when writing the title of this vid and didnt double check. fixed. they are all vfd. my brain was just not present at the time of writing the title
"As intuitive as a government website" hahaha
I'm gonna use that, for sure
Love them! I have three grandstand ones: Firefox F7, scramble, and Astro wars. Also a tomy caveman, there’s something about the displays that’s just awesome
Nice, I still have Space Laser Fight, Master Blaster Station and Crazy Climbing among others.
Vampire was sold as other things too like Zackman with the exact same case but slightly different VFD display

I had space laser fight! Wow I haven't thought of that since I was a small child many moons ago

@@SkinnyVampiress Sounds cool, I'd like to see that.
Do you know which brand and model it was?

Those Bambino games were pretty cool and some of the first VFD games. They made 10 in total.
Coleco Bowlatronic isn’t a VFD game.
:)
I collect Nintendo game & watch and Casio LCD games !!!! Love it !!!
Nice console unboxing! :)
I do hope there will be a gift shop
Do you have any plans for that game and watch 👀👀
You need to get yourself a Vectrex!
Safari invented Pokemon!
I had Space Laser Fight as a kid! And, no, knowing how the game works doesn’t actually help you get any better at it...
hahahaha
Aren't most of these VFD screens??
indeed. like I said above, I quickly wrote the title and it was a bit of a brainfartt, amended
@@THISMUSEUMISNOTOBSOLETE My bad! Super sick games honestly. Live the look of those screens.
This second lockdown meen you cant procrastinate for the museum, quite a good thing, is'nt it ?
haha well to be honest its covering up a few timely issues with other projects im having! like a big debacle with the gameboy mega machine
I used to think VFD games were awful and trashy back in the day... But these days I love anything with a VFD on it????????????
Why you haven't say about Russian electronica?)))
There's a language barrier. Your language is alien!
Wicked!
entertaining video ... but not my bag
This guy needs a girlfriend
He already has a girlfriend.
@@TooManyEyesJoe haha thanks. yeah we are actually running this museum thing together
