- It's Adam Koralik here and today we're discussing a whole bunch of rare consoles! I was a guest at Revival Game Not Over in Wolverhampton England. I thought it would be fun to scope out a whole bunch of rare consoles and talk about each one for a few minutes. Let's go!

I love how every other item is some kind of Genesis variant. If Sega could have stuck a Genesis in a dishwasher they would have. The Whirlpool Mega Wash.
Fact. I had many more systems to put out at the event but several of those were yet more Megadrive integrated devices.
@michaelrosamilia3681 too bad only model 1 and 2 were counted, if nomad 1 million sells, cdx multi counted and other 17 varients I'm sure "44 milllion" sales blow out snes
if u can beat sonic before the dishes dry u win a prize
@Turnarcades awesome I think there 20 mega drives varients from model 1 japan to model 2 3 Awai cd player vcd player nomad cdx pcs laserdiscs Korean Aladdin variants womdermega xeye 😆 so mannnnyyy
Obligatory Indiana Jones yelling, "THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!"
2:18 i wanted this for 20 years
Incredibly hard to come by now. The occasional TianLi unit comes up but this is the only Shinco DVD unit I ever saw for sale, so I snapped it up.
@@Turnarcades congrats 👏 what's cool is putting new roms on vcd to play, but takes regular vcd or special software?
@@rustymixer2886 requires an authoring tool which I do have. Most region roms do work, so if one doesn’t work well you can pick one from another region. Needs uncompressed .bin data files to work.
man and i thought i was lucky when i got to see a working virtualboy in person
My VB actually developed a fault that weekend. :(
Imo, The CDTV is as much as console as the Amiga CD32. Where the CD32 is a consolized Amiga 1200, the CDTV is a consolized Amiga 500.
Now, off to go buy everything shown in this video that I don't already own. :D
The CDTV was presented as more of a multimedia device though than a games system, unlike the CD32 which alienated the pc functions of the 1200 computer in order to just focus on games.
You owning a LaserActive and taking it for granted really kills ME, that's MY Holy Grail of retro gaming...
Hahahahaha. It's just because I've had one for like 20 years.
@@AdamKoralik - Sheesh, you lucky bum! Got modules for it?
@@JohnnyProctor9 Just the Genesis one.
ive never even seen a laserdisk in person
To be fair, it’s a pig of a system to own as you need to have any system you buy properly serviced, recapped, the power line fixed to avoid shorting and melting the board, the boards stabilised above the disc tray, AND the modules recapped to avoid their self destruction - and that’s before any laser errors or other faults.
Great video of these rare consoles! The CDTV was basically an Amiga A500 that could be expanded in a full-fledged Amiga computer. I’m an Amiga nerd even though I’ve never owned or used an Amiga. I wish that the PS2 TV had come out here in America, because I’d buy one.
I actually had the one I took with me for sale and traded it to another staff member. For anyone willing to pay the shipping I’d happily source one and package it for sending to an overseas collector.
@@Turnarcades Thanks! But I don’t want to spend the money right now.
5:40 and thats where 3do ssf2t soundtrack originated from !
I own the PS2 TV myself. So amazing. Only found out around 2016/2017 it exist. Luckily one was in sale in my area for a decent price in 2020. So happy i own one!
Strangest about the PS2 TV is. It was released on December of 2010...
See my reply above or zoom into the placard on the video; it was only ever made to clear excess PS2 slim stock at the end of the PS2 life.
Love the video, thanks dude! Great to share my collection with your audience and was great having you over for REVIVAL. Welcome back any time!
Ancient memory unlocked. I must have been 5 or 6 y/o when I saw a SNES in a hotel like that.
Love that system as the SNES was my favourite ever console, but I’m also looking the buy the earlier NES-based FamicomBox at some point.
There is not a single device in the world that Sega didn´t think "can we put a Genesis in that?"
Quang has a PC Engine LT, that guy who pretended to drop the Pluto at OLL. And yes I will keep mentioning I was there as often as I can because it's the one and only time I've met you (so far)😂
There were in fact 2 at Revival. The one Alan had for sale was brought for me to get first dibs on, but I instead picked up some of the dev/test consoles for my collection. One of the contributors to my book also brought his and put it on display on the Saturday.
I wonder why Sony didn't make a TV with PS2 built in when Sony Trinitrons were relevant, since I think it would have made more sense to make a Sony Trinitron with a built in PS2. Unless Sony was using a backwards compatible PS3 for the Sony Bravia, or you could jailbreak it to play PS2 games.
The notion of integrated consoles in TVs had long passed by the arrival of the PS2, and TVs had long begun the transition to widescreens and in particular, flat panel screens by then. The spiralling cost of console hardware wouldn’t make integration practically affordable, and the only reason the PS2 TV came about and designed like this rather than integrated into the rear with a motorised disc eject to make it wall mountable, was they were simply clearing excess stocks of the last revision slim motherboards at the very end of the console’s lifespan in 2010/11.
So awesome to know that you still have items to collect since you have some cool hardware already
The Phantom system blows my mind. I love the Atari shell! Bloody comedic.
The bit Adam omitted is that the phaser gun is ripped off from the Master System too.
@@Turnarcades Oh that's just too funny! Bloody Nintendo.. 😂
Remember back in 2004 Infiniti labs there was going to make a console where all the games were digital called The Phantom all games have to be downloaded through an online subscription service but it got canceled and never released
So many rare stuff out there! This was cool to watch! Being a Portable Gamer, really enjoyed seeing the Gizmodo in a Sealed Box! Crazy!
Also which blew my mind was the Phantom System. i always thought the iQue was the only Nintendo game they had to change for China.
Did not know they did so for the NES before the iQue! The Phantom System would be a cool top down NES system to own. Such an oddity.
The iQue Player was jointly developed by a Chinese inventor and Nintendo and then manufactured there to get around strict gaming system and import control. The iQue branding was then subsequently used on the Chinese version of the GBA SP and DS shortly afterwards, for similar reasons, as handheld gaming didn’t have the same tight restrictions as actual consoles. I do also have a boxed Gizmondo (not the sealed one in this video) but I rarely put handhelds out at events.
stop skeletons from fighting has a great video on the zeebo. it was so awesome seeing all these at the event though
So many rare and cool systems all at once. So awesome to see.
All from one collection too, and only a fraction of it!
Great video. Those PS1 Dev consoles looked so cool.
3:33 the controllers are not specific you can also use them to implode a Sub near the Titanic
Ha, wow.
Wow. Never knew most of these existed. Great video.
Nice video. Would love some of these!
Only thing i have that you showed here is a PS2 test console.
I was all in on the Phantom still want that keyboard
wow some super cool stuff! most of these I'm familiar with, but there were definitely some I had never seen before. like I didn't know the story about the phantom, that's wild!
The Phantom is quite a story because Nintendo quietly approved of it as it allowed them to sell games to people of those regions who owned one and imported them from the U.S., without actually needing to sort out the complicated manufacture in those regions laws demanded. They later commissioned Gradiente to manufacture the SNES in those regions and even the official NES, though that sold poorly due to the clone’s dominance.
@@Turnarcades oh wow, thanks for the info! always fascinating to see how the big companies handled releases in other countries besides the US and Japan, some neat stuff!
Glad you made this video !
I just realized during my research on CD capacities. It turns out Windows uses the binary base 2 system, which in hindsight makes sense since my 4TB external SSD is read as 3.63TB. Of course, why didn't I realize that sooner.
I'm a simple man. I see "rare console" and I click
Nice video Adam keep them coming!!!! 👍🏾
Adam is in Wolverhampton...About 50 odd miles from me, cool! 👍
He was in June, at Revival - shoulda come!
Got that PS2 TV. Found out about it around 2011 when I was invited to a party and the host owned it. He didn’t use it anymore so I asked if I could buy it from him… he gave it to me for free. Only later did I found out about its value. I play my older consoles on it (6th G and older).
The best part is the number of input options it has, and the PS2 being technically connected internally by component.
Never heard of Phantom System till now! I think it would be apt to call it a chimera console. It looks like a console a kid would draw imagining if Sega, Nintendo, and Atari joined forces lol
In Brazil We had Phantom System, Turbo Game, Dynavision and Hi top Game, all famiclones
Adam rules rare and Obscure Consoles
Adam, I like the subject matter of this video. It would be awesome if you could bring some of these rarities to your green walled room for in-depth reviews.
I wish.
Next time he’s in country I’ll loan them to Adam to do just that.
🎵Are you keeping up witht the Commodore...🎵
WOW, you really seem to have landed on a lot of new knowledge. I have not seen half of these myself.
Added a couple of relative unknowns to the collection since the event too!
Looking at the Mega PC, and all I can think of is the Cup Of Water sitting there waiting to be knocked over!!
Nah it’s all good. People are pretty respectful and careful at events
Man I thought you had them, especially the Sony Bravia PS2. Did not look at the video length.
I would love to have a Bravia, I wish there are modern console variants like this.
And the DebuggingStations looks cool!
I never thought there was an actual Phantom, I remember when they talked about it but I just assumed it never materialized. It was supposed to do like a Linux based operating system with download games.
The Infinium Phantom got that reputation because of its ironic name, but a couple of prototypes did actually surface; a couple of beefy early protos (none seen working) and one of the later slimmed down redesigns surfaced at a repair shop, where it was discovered to be little more than a typical x86 PC inside with many mismatched components and a literal Coke can box being used as a ghetto heat shield. It didn’t actually work but I believe the repair shop cobbled some kind of working XP setup together inside it and then ran a copy of the scarcely pictured front end system on it for show.
TV's with built-in game consoles sound like a good idea on paper until one of the two components fails, either the TV screen itself or the game console and its cartridge reader or disc drive.
My living room Roku TV just suffered a failed backlight so while I could turn it on and probably navigate through the Roku menu, the picture is not visible so the whole thing became useless. The funny thing is that my much older HDTV that I'm using in my bedroom still works even though I hardly ever turn it off.
They’re a great idea IF it costs less than the separate devices and they are serviceable.the older integrated systems like the CRT based ones are far more robust with more reliable console hardware because they use less moving parts. But yes, in practice they often ended up costing more than the separate devices, were made hard to service and that’s why they never sold well. As collector items though…. They’re all commanding crazy money now.
Our school had a CDTV you had to book time to use it we just played Lemmings and some educational stuff on there.
As do most people now!
When it comes to the Marty, that significant failure rate is probably why it has a laser replacement device called the Doc Brown (akin to the Phobos and Rhea for the Saturn?) despite its niche nature.
Even getting the floppy drive to work due to its magnetic nature can be finicky, so I imagine it was developed more as a future proofing type device?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Correct
Watching your videos I learn something new all of the time.😌 🤗 🙂
That Sega VCD player I've never heard of. I know about the Pioneer Laser Active and the SG-300 computer but this is the first I've ever heard of that.
There was actually a small range of VCD players that have this feature, and one other Shinco model DVD player too. What wasn’t mentioned is these systems has separate video outputs, so you you can load a game into memory from disc and display it on one output, then swap it out with a video disc you can watch on a second output screen, which is how we set it up at the event.
@@Turnarcades I've been able to find some Shinco players for sale (none of the ones with the Sega logo sadly) but do you happen to know what the games on disk were called? Searching for Sega and VCD will only give you those MPEG Players for the Saturn and Sega and Disk either Saturn, Sega CD or Dreamcast. I'm interested in this but don't know what to look for in search terms.
@@chaospoet getting the pressed VCDs is nigh on impossible but I was lucky enough to get them with my Shinco. Burned copies of them work just as well and you can author your own with the proper software available online; a better option given how random the disc collections are.
@@Turnarcades That's good to know that is an option.
Oh no those Logitech controllers connected to the Zeebo. Better keep them away from submarines
That atari 7800 nes thing is cool
The sheer value of those consoles could make a person rich 😁
Along with my arcades, about 70k at last valuation.
@@Turnarcades That's a great investment right there, almost equal to gold😁
@@aaliguy9986definitely my nest egg. 45 arcade machines, around 200 consoles, computers and other systems.
That TurboGrafx portable looks slick
20 times? youve been to Japan 20 times?? dude, I used to be married to a Japanese, and worked there (often traveling back and forth between Canada and Kyushu), and even I havent been there 20 times! I think MAYBE Ive made a total of around 12 entries into the country.
21 now. :P
When I saw Phantom in title, thought the system was meant to comeout same gen a PS2. Also wonder what happened to Madbox
If one came up I’d probably bid for it!
Interesting consoles Adam.
I just saw a Phantom System controller in the Rio de Janeiro's Weekly Antique Fair, it was only 100 Reais(20ish dolars), I dont know how pricey it gets outside of Brazil.
I'd love to have one, but getting it to the US would be a pain.
@@AdamKoralik I can see why, shipping regulations/taxes got more strict here recently too
@@AdamKoralik just to talked to a cousin, she had a Phantom as a kid, i knew I had seen it irl before lol
It was one of the most expensive systems to import here. From what I can tell, I’m the only collector in circles I’m aware of over here in England that owns one. Sadly it has a few glitches as well discovered over the event weekend.
What a great video
If you want to know about the zeebo, check out stop skeletons from fighting
Or read my book, where I gave massive amounts of detail from the head of the Zeebo fan club, from whom I actually bought this machine.
The Panasonic GameCube 😍 my holy grail…
Sadly ever-increasing in price to acquire.
@@Turnarcades I know… ☹️ genuinely so sad I just hope I can find one soon
@@TurnarcadesHas a built-in GBA player as well…
@@osurpless Ik…. Literally seething to have one I need one so bad 😭😭😭 it’s been my grail since I found out about it in 2009 god I love 7th gen and below so much i miss it
@@osurplessit’s not built in, but it does have its own dedicated GBA Player add-on, that I unfortunately don’t have as they cost more than the system to buy now.
RMC The Cave has videos explaining I g the difference between the Amstrad MEGA PC and the TeraDrive. The TeraDrive has exclusive games making use of both the PC hardware and Genesis hardware. Amstrad was just a genesis expansion card
awesome video wouldn't it be cool to have a European ps2 with a tv attached.
This is impressive
I remember having an Amstrad mega drive, never used it because I had a mega drive, pretty sure my parents gave it away or took it down the tip
Sadly the fate of many of the Mega PCs when they became obsolete - which they arguably were even at launch. It’s why the price of the things has shot up so quickly in the last few years as several more have failed and been scrapped. Mine cost 600 in 2020 with no accessories, and I had to piece them together and upgrade the system. Working models with incomplete peripherals regularly go now for £1200 or more.
Brazil mentioned multiple times!!!! 🗣️🇧🇷🔥🗣️🇧🇷🔥🗣️🇧🇷🔥
Some interesting systems from there that are so hard to get over here. My American friends have most of them but getting these ones to me here in England cost me a small fortune.
LGR did a wonderful video on the Gizmondo if anyone is interested and how weird wild and how it failed.
Just wow
I never heard of or saw any for them. PS Adam have to ever though about an cosover The Gaming Historian on Windows CE on the Dreamcast? See I remanber being asked about it and I give in easy form. The Dreamcast's game disk has bootloader that will strat-up Windows CE if the game using that option.
We did cross overs on my travel channel, though he's basically retired from videos.
Wow
Hello from Frisco Texas!!!
I would really love to own the PSP test system
One of my staff stumbled across that in his friend’s car boot lot and offered it to me, knowing it was right up my street. Picked it up at the event, fully boxed.
The Museum at MAGFest has that and a bunch (usually yearly) of other dev kits to play with, so stop on by sometime?
Brilliant vdeo
Oh hey I have some Nintendo development hardware too.
The red Wii dev kit there is the pre-disc drive version. The Wiimote is wired, not wireless, and it stores 8 games on an internal hard drive you can manually select. The NDEV kit there is the later version that supports wireless controllers, and actually belonged to Archer MacLean
awesome I think there 20 mega drives varients from Japan model 1 to usa model to 2 majesto model 3 to Awai cd player to vcd player to usa nomad to tec toy Brazil versions to usa cdx or Russia multi mega to IBM or etc pcs to Panasonic laserdisc units to Korean Aladdin variants to wondermega to usa xeye 😆 man so mannnnyyy maybe 60 million sold in total more than snes
I want go to Japan.
When are you came to Prtugal again dude??
I saw once on ebay a Sega Saturn controller for PS2 guessing it was made after Sega bowed out and went 3rd party. Only thing is why Sega Saturn and not Sega Dreamcast Controller?
Yeah they made that for the Sega Ages PS2 collection in Japan. Lots of Saturn games that were brought to the PS2. Having a Saturn controller for them was considered a way to push the series.
@AdamKoralik it would also help play many Fighting games like Capcom vs SNK.
0:06
Ummm, was that picture necessary?
Is anything necessary?
too bad only model 1 and 2 mega drives were counted, if nomad 1 million sells, cdx multi counted and other 17 varients I'm sure "44 milllion" sales blow out snes
How are you doing my old friend I miss you
I'm still here it seems
@@AdamKoralik my timberwolves failed lol
Sega vcd se vendió en Brasil por tectoy
Aw man, here I was hoping someone actually had one of those vaporware Phantom consoles, not an NES clone lol
Stay tuned on that one. ;)
The Marty is pretty bad. It uses a 386SX. I'd get a proper FM Towns tower instead.
I’m also seeking a Towns tower, but the Marty design is pretty sweet, and still able to run most of the better games with little issue.
Phantom tease.... I was expecting the Infinium Labs system. Not the NES clone.
NOPE! the phantom system was not lixensed they tried to make it licensed by reverse engineering the system and showing it to Nintendo, but Nintendo said NUH UH! later Gradiente and Estrela (two companies, one of eletronics another of toys) united themselves to make another company called playtronic and they got license to represent Nintendo here in Brazil, they released the super Nintendo and afterwards they released the licensed NES as you know in north America...
Sad n64 que cant take carts its only download roms right
Yes and the home kiosk service ended in 2018. I had to source one through a Chinese friend that had the memory filled with full games instead of the time-expired demos. There is ongoing work to fully crack the software and allow easy code injection onto them by end users. It’s working in theory but still difficult for average folks to do.
@@Turnarcades awesome, a n64 in controller shell is 💥 id love have one play sm64
@@Turnarcades I actually remember snes kiosk service that nintendo uploaded roms you pay for to dl to cart for snes 😆 ironic they hate idea now...I didn't know n64 que , had same thing thought dl through regular internet
rare comment variant
Am I the only one who had a nerdgasm while watching this? Ok....moving on....
I have the Ique got it along time ago for cheap at a market legit over sea sellers idk how they got one but that was a really long time
Used to be able to get them from Hong Kong resellers brand new up until just recently for peanuts. Most new stocks have gone now and those with pre-installed full games now command high prices. The ‘swim box’ multitap and controllers go for even more.
@@Turnarcades DAMN.. I DONT PLAN ON USING M,Y MUCH.. Cuz i dont want to fuk it up or make mroe wear then needed
When you said the Phantom I thought it was the Infinium Phantom 🥲
Do more videos like this when you can.
