The Playmates Fun to Drive Corvette Dashboard & Learn to Drive Highway Patrol. Both "copies" of the Tomy Turbo Dashboard. Both freakin' fast, and both absolute crocks of sh*te. Actually, I lie, they're great.

its when Dallas starts and your parents sit down to watch their favourite TV show and you bust into the living room with your Tomy Turbo Dashboard and drive then NUTS with that inferno SOUND XD

@toniomiklo2406 9 лет назад

It's one of those classic situation where you can't understand it unless you experienced it as a child: toy/game shit-lame, but then the power of imagination more than makes up for the lack of entertaining value per se. Now, needless to say, you have everything served to you with ultra-detailed graphics and shit, and you are not required to use your imagination anymore. We are rich, but we were doing better when we were poor.

@Nostalgianerd 9 лет назад

Tonio Miklo Totally agree. All I needed was the cover of a 99p Speccy game to fire my imagination. I could spend days just looking at the art work alone!

Nostalgia Nerd Hey man! Great video! I actually have a black Corvette Dashboard lying around somewhere in my Grandma's house. Not sure of the condition, but are they worth quite a bit now? Cheers!

@Nostalgianerd 9 лет назад

Yeah, I think they got for about £50. Which is pretty steep (BUT THEY'RE WORTH IT GOD DAMN IT) XD

@kiiyannahudson 6 лет назад

@Nostalgianerd 9 лет назад

+madcapoperator hahahaha. A bush??!!! XD

@whatamalike 9 лет назад

Yup, just at the back of my old house there was what i can only describe as a banking area with a dirt track and a huge pylon stuck in the middle (probably made me radioactive!) and surrounded by crab apple trees and shrubbery and on one walk around found this beast...thought it was a bit shite even then xD

@Nostalgianerd 9 лет назад

Nice! They fetch a good price today!

Wish I still had it then...Have no idea what happened to it :'(

@Octamed 6 лет назад

Tomy still wins. The road randomly moved side to side, had collision detection, the fuel ran out and you had to reset it and you moved the car. It was closer to an actual game.

@BuddhaAtheist29 4 года назад

It did none of those things

@Octamed 4 года назад

@@BuddhaAtheist29 I've got one and took it apart to fix it.

@BuddhaAtheist29 4 года назад

@@Octamed then you must have a more expensive one then I have ever seen because all off the ones I have ever seen functioned exactly like these. Screen location is the only difference. With these are better in that way.

@Octamed 4 года назад

@@BuddhaAtheist29 Just look at a Turbo Tomy video. These are clones of that so they're not going to have the same feature set. Tomy even had a highscore. The trip meter only progressed if you weren't running into the road edge, so you see how far you can get on a tank of fuel.

@97channel 4 года назад

Mid 80's, infant school me had a go on something completely identical to the Tomy Turbo on display in a department store. But, I swear, it had collision detection which stalled you car if you collided with another, complete with crashing sound, plus faux Outrun style choices of route to take, which somehow kind of warped the scrolling to give the convincing illusion that you actually made a turn to either the left or right. Maybe there was even the option to continue straight, can't recall. I was taken with it. Some time later, I got one for Christmas. Ah, but it wasn't one of whatever that thing was. It was the real Tomy Turbo. But it seemed like the same one, when I opened it. After a short while of playing on it, I started to get a little disenchanted. There was no point to it, unlike the one I'd remembered. I still loved it for what it was, but I never got over the fact that it didn't have any gameplay element. But it leaves me wondering, what the hell was that crazy cool Tomy Turbo on steroids clone I played in that store? Because I cannot find out what the damned thing was, but it was the coolest thing.

@cyberyogicowindler2448 2 года назад

Tomy Racing Cockpit has a score counter for the time you stay on the road.

@GR8TM4N 9 лет назад

Look at this ... I am turning 40 today, and i am watching a video about a game i received for my 10th birthday ... although i had the one that had a "mercedes" front. I don't remember playing very much with, but the reason for that could very well be that awful ""engine" noise and my parents tolerance for this ... haha :) Thank you for the memories!

@Sk1ds87 4 года назад

Ahh yes, I had a Mercedes one too! It was a police car with lights and sirene. Marvellous!

@dartacus.spartacus1988 3 года назад

The 80s was a different time I would spend 2 3 hours a day on one of these things lol good old days

@jameswalker199 3 года назад

I do like the slight tire squeal on the playmates one. I can't tell if it's an actual sound or if it's just the old mechanism engaging, but I still like it!

@toniomiklo2406 9 лет назад

That's the sound of batteries being sucked dry. I bet they lasted like 1,5 minutes. Those things where energy-hogs. Much like the Atari Lynx (slightly O.T. here).

@TimBitten 7 лет назад

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! That Corvette thing was my favorite toy of all time growing up.

@PashPaw 4 года назад

I think I had *BOTH* of these. I thought i had the Tomy one but I do vaguely remember the lights and "dash" on the Playmates one and the Highway Patrol one. My poor parents suffered many car trips with these things. These went with me *EVERYWHERE* when I was a very small girl.

@TheAxelay 6 лет назад

I actually just bought the "Learn To Drive?!" variant which pretty much the same as the cop car version except the headlights do work great and it's red! The version I originally had as a kid back in 1986 was a "Grand Prix Rennsimulator!!" which was a Chinese knock off of these two but it had a left side mirror as well, broke down within a month of use....

@mrbendawg 5 лет назад

I've seen a few videos of the Tomy Turbo and was like "man... it's familiar... but not what I had as a kid." This is it. Thanks!

@laurawalker984 3 года назад

I regret letting my mum throw mine away now or most likely give it to a charity shop. It was a Tomy one. It looks so simple now, but I loved it. I got it when I was around 5/6. I love how toys are gendered. I think that it was marketed at boys. It seemed more exciting than a Barbie.

@Deftonesdsm 4 года назад

Huh somehow i missed these as a kid. Where they in U.S.A.?

@dreamkatcha 9 лет назад

I had the Tomy one, but don't recall spending much time with it; the Speccy was around at the same time. 'nuf said. Other manufacturers came up with a kind of scaled down version of this that would fit in a package the size of a 'Game and watch'. A disc track with obstacles attached to it would rotate around a fixed vehicle and you had to flip a slider back and forth to navigate around them. If you hit the obstacles the mechanism would stop. To add to the challenge, only a small section of the track was visible through a viewing window so you couldn't see when the next obstacle was approaching or which side of the road it was on until it was right on top of you. Btw Mr Nerd, is that one of those retro repro Casio watches you've been wearing in the last few videos? I've seen those on eBay. Identical to the originals and available in every colour of the rainbow. If I could insert a shade-wearing smiley here I'd do it.

@Nostalgianerd 9 лет назад

dreamkatcha Really? That sounds awesome, I NEED to get one of those watches. Yeah, not sure why I played these so much. But I did. I'm talking hours on end. My mind must have been numbed to any form of external stimuli. Yes :D Indeed, it is a retro casio watch. Think I got it from Amazon for about £15. It will suffice until I insert new batteries in my Mario game watch XD

@dreamkatcha 9 лет назад

Nostalgia Nerd Oh no, the version I'm thinking of wasn't built into a watch. I may be getting mixed up, but I thought Game and Watch devices were the size of a large match box, though not as deep, and designed to be played like a very early precursor to the Game Gear. Maybe that term was just used for the watch games themselves? Cramming all that mechanical gubbins into a watch would be a tall order even today I'd imagine. What got me thinking about them was seeing a Spanish variation at a car boot sale at the weekend. I would have picked it up if it hadn't been so battered... or maybe if I hadn't been so desperate to get away from all the cancer sticks being wafted in my face at the time. You take your life in your hands at these open air events. It was the Tomy, spade-shaped, periscope 3D games that really gripped me a few years later. I had the burgundy space ship one and my brother had the white (tank?) version. There was something mesmerizing about the atmosphere and sense of immersion those neon vectors conjured up. You could be sitting in the back seat of the family car on a journey to the seaside, yet at the same time, be saving the world from the emperor of planet Zog.

@GazzJ82 9 лет назад

Well, I have to disagree with you this time, I had the Tomy one and I like it better :) From memory the tomy one could run out of fuel and had some basic collision detection which would stop the odometer from going up. I still play my Tomytronic 3d game, did you have one?

@Nostalgianerd 9 лет назад

Gary James Basic collision detection? Really, are you suurreeee? I wasn't aware of that, but if it did, then thumbs up! No, I don't have a Tomytronic! Really want to get hold of one though! I think I played one once, in the playground, but never again :'(

@GazzJ82 9 лет назад

Nostalgia Nerd Yeah the backlight even used to flicker when you were crashing into something, not sure how it worked mind. I know one thing they all probably had in common., the sound, it must have drove our parents mad!
