1:19:55 Here's the lyrics for Children Horse, let's all sing along! Alpharad, Apple Ray, Apple, Booti, FOV, Apple, apple, I love you Applebee, I love Cookie

1:38:02 Vinny's official Grand Dad moment

1:35:27 if erectile dysfunction had a soundtrack

1:52:44 Shout outs to that pretty awesome free jazz theme for the fishing game

1:19:45 Big fan of this one. The lack of 𝓁𝑒𝓂𝑜𝓃 is made up for with the nightmarish singing and the brightly saturated infinite dirt track. Also the horse.

15:22 Imagine being a marine or such, starting your mission to obliterate the enemy and then you hear a a toddler shouting "Ready? Go!"

Vinny is a very barve boy to be diving back into Lexibook trash

1:19:45 Just Shazam the song for Children (Wisdom) Horse: Apple Tree by 鄉城兒童合唱團 Lyrics: Apple Round, Apple Red, Apple Juicy, Apple Sweet, Apple Apple I Love You, Apple Sweet I Love To Eat

59:38 I just wanted to bookmark the lemon sound.

2:00:32 the most cursed temporary secretary cover I've heard.

LLMON had me rolling it's like they put the mic inside their mouth

1:00:20 imagine the person who had this as a kid trying to find it years after by saying "it was this game where you drive down a road as some red guy, 2 second music loop in the background, you collect different foods and a lady would say the name of it."

"that one's a baby!" vinny realizes the horrors of intergalatic war.

Something interesting I've noticed is that during the map cutscene in Brave Boy you can actually see a remnant of what appears to be a Mario sprite with Pikachu's face plastered on to it. Meaning this is effectively a rom hack of another rom hack! Joel had also played the Mario version of this game during his infamous Grand Dad stream. Man we've really come full circle, haven't we?

1:19:52 I found the source of the auditory torture that plays in the background of Wisdom Horse. It’s apparently from a video called “Apple Apple I Love You - Apple Tree Song Learn Fruits & Colors For Kids - Educational Learning Songs”. Make of that what you will.

*L E M O N* 2:15:25 Also, he got stuck at the exact same place as JonTron did years ago.

Outside Barve Boy, the classic games segment was fucking sensory torture

1:12:45 Of all the lazy animations in this Lexibook, the ostrich ones are the least laziest. They got secondary motion on the feathers, toes bending to exaggerate foot movement, the forward leg extends downward upon descent -- my condolences to whoever did that work for probably very meager pay.

1:22:49 the tension, the hopelessness, followed by the reward

13:06 it never gets old.

59:13 when he said ow I felt that

Apple round, Apple red, Apple juicy, Apple sweet, Apple Apple I love you, Apple thing I love to eat. That was the Wisdom Horse song. I can't believe I managed to understand that.

59:38 get LEMON'd

1:08:13 The ranger with the gasmask and helmet is from New Vegas. The green buildings in the background are the Sovier Rector and Ore Refinery from Red Alert 3. I cannot find that specific version of the pylon. 1:10:04 is literally just a flash game called Gold Miner. The graphic of the little guy is straight up stolen from the original game.

53:51 I love this weirdo music

12:25 That's a laugh I haven't heard before

Since this is one of the only times I'll be able to, here's some interesting things I've learned about Lexibook over the last 6 years since binyot first introduced me to them: In addition to terrible plug & plays and handhelds, they make a bunch of other cheap toys you can find on Amazon. In contrast to most of these bootleg Chinese, lead paint, sweatshop, toy companies, they actually have managed to get some legit licenses from Disney and the like to slap on their crappy ripoffs and toys. From what I've seen and from other channels that explore this sort of stuff out of morbid curiosity, while the games are still trash ripoffs or romhacks, the actual build and screen quality of their handhelds is pretty decent astoundingly. Also apparently they make the handhelds that can be bought by prisoners while they're doing time. They're the same usual 50-in-1 type crap they put out, but translucent to ensure you can't use them to smuggle anything... so they have very low standards when it comes to getting money to say the least. And while everything about them is chinese (obviously) they're technically a French company. There's almost nothing about them online outside of product listings, so I've had to do a lot of gruella research and investigating to uncover what little info I have. Their "about us" section on their website is just typical corporate fluff, but it's not uncommon for French, Italian, or other less "politically active" European countries to do a lot of shady business with China and even North Korea, And they seem to be one of those. They're just particularly "prolific" and large from the looks of it. I even read their financial reports and other "investor interest" type documentation that they have available, and it's all extremely vague and brief, but from what I can see that's in English and guestimate what's in French (as a finance major) while they're "based" in France majority of their assets are in China and Eastern Europe... and they do make a pretty decent amount of money, mainly because their overhead is microscopic thanks to chinese labor. Coincidentally, they were founded just after the Iron Curtain fell so presumably they were set up to capitalize on the flood of low-cost labor into the market as a result. So yeah, pretty shady company that seemingly managed to sucker in a fair few brands purely because of how "successful" they are. I do love looking into these "technically legal" types of companies though. Feels like I'm uncovering a conspiracy or something with all the digging I have to do and all the shady stuff I end up finding. And when every channel I watch that looks into bootleg/garbage tech has featured SOME Lexibook product (Vinny, Ashens, The Retro Future, Rerez, and probably a ton more I don't know about), my curiosity was piqued.

1:38:58 yall are not ready for this, but pokechu has the mario body

1:08:11 everyones talking about barve boy, but i think the random ncr ranger deserves a mention too

Gonna note every stolen asset I could recognize that Vinny didn't mention in any way: -the explosions from Metal Slug -the sighs of disappointed people on the tennis 'game' from Mortal Kombat 2 -the confirmation sound from 100% Orange Juice on the fishing game -a jingle when you clear a level from Puzzle Bubble -confirmation sound from Mario Power Tennis on the moving boxes game -i'm pretty sure that clipart is a chibi drawing of a popular manga right now

51:31 bruh is that Denji from Chainsaw Guy

Now this... Is vinesauce gaming

I'm convinced that 99,9% of the music was not made by humans or AI, it just appeared, probably from the depths of hell.

1:37:19 - Watching chat's reaction to these two game names back to back sent me

31:40 istfg the level complete song for this is the same melody as bird up

6:00 I recognize that jingle, that's from Bust a Move when you clear a stage

seeing barve boy and Lmmmn live was a religious experience

One annoying pet peeve: When trying to quit the games, sometimes it says "Exit Game?" where you have to click YES to exit, but sometimes it says "Continue Game?" where you have to click NO to exit

8:40 CHARACTWE

The music in those 8bit games is really bizarre. It's like something you'd hear in a dream or something. It's like it sounds like music when you don't pay attention to it and have it in a background, but when you start to focus on it, it doesn't make sense anymore.

PEER L E M O N

1:38:02 Fun Thing: Barve Boy Pokechu is a hack of Super Bros 10 Kung-fu Mari. (I'm not Joking. I'm aware the actual game is Jackie chan Kung-fu action. but Barve Boy is LITERALLY a Hack of Kung-fu mari, cause some of the Sprites from the Mario hack can be seen)

50:55 someone should rip this song from a lexibook

1:09:09 I swear, that sound effect without the shit reverb sounds like my fucking dog

As a Central European, i don't understand why you're all so confused about Lexibook still being a thing, considering me and everyone else who lives in this part of the continent is a pensioner who hates videogames and having fun

My dad bought me one of these years ago thinking it was a wii, couldnt tell him that he bought a knock off cuz he looked too happy when he bought it for me.

52:30 An unnoticed spark of groundbreaking incompetence: they spelled it "LEVEl", *with only the second "L" in lowercase.* It's like the dev's brain short-circuited from making too many shit games in a row, and reversed the rules for capitalizing a word to "all letters in uppercase except the last one"???

58:17 Valentino Khan - Pump

The Lexibooks never fail to disappoint, whether it's Ninga Hero, the wonderful Billiards music, or Barve Boy Kung Fu Pokechu. Speaking of the Billiards music, I noticed that for some reason, it's faster in this one than it was in the previous Lexibook. It actually sounds like music this time!

1:38:02 Seeing this live was brilliant

34:05 I laughed so hard at the immediate metal music and the non stop stock bird sound effects.

"Oh honey, you don't need a PS5, I got you a LexiBook!" Breaks my heart he didn't follow that up with a Tucker bit.

50:00 Love how in the 2020's we have new game systems with games which are exactly the same as those I played in the mid 80's but with better graphics

I remember playing Aether Kavass many years ago, wish Vinny had played more of it to discover that you could transform your spaceship either in a slightly different shape or into a robot... Turns out it's a romhack of "Choujikuu Yosai Macross" known as "Super Dimension Fortress Macross" first released in 1985

Of all the music you could use for a motorcycle plug and play game, a rockabilly remix of Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto sure is a choice.

Maybe I'm crazy but isn't the 'Go!' voice at 45:43 from Puzzle Bobble 2x?

I cannot understate the absolute laughing fit “Children Horse” sent me into

Lexibook... Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

You always have to remember that someone made these games. Someone modeled and animated those atrocities with the purpose of being used in that “game”

The retro segment was like seeing a parallel universe where Mintendo made the MES and Ultra Marcio Siblings.

The music in these really do just feel like the composer just said "why does it matter. It's video games, not shit you'd hear on the radio. Just make the most generic or goofiest shit you can think of."

8:40 I cannot believe that we all missed "Select charactwe"

The graphics in the shooting game look straight out of a bowling alley screen. Yknow when you get a certain amount of pins and it shows an animation? It reminds me of that.

I love the eternal schizo moments Vinny has about these games being like "Now we have to play all the racing games" followed by immediately seeing less then a second of menu of the next game and being "No we dont actually have to"

Wisdom Horse was truly the game of all time

2:53 Couldn't even get to the 5 minute mark without hearing a trademark theme from Plug and Plays. This butchered, diarrhea version of one of the game over themes from Track and Field has been in a skeet shooting clone along with a fish eat fish kind of game. It amazes me how many reused assets are shown no matter how different the name of the plug and play. Edit: 2:00:34 I love Vinny's new grossed out reaction to this horrible thing

Vinny: i dont want to spend too much time on the classic games chat *proceeds to spend another hour on them*

1:26:50 the music here is actually good

1:40:32 that music is weirdly good. I wonder where that's stolen from. 1:58:40 that music is _definitely_ stolen from something. 2:06:05 isn't this music from an RPG?

l * m * n 🍋

Seeing chat reference those old JonTron videos with the bootlegs made me smile, took me back.

Oh my god, I can't breathe at how she pronounces "lemon" I want a soundbite of that

These HD bootlegs are freaking me out. Looks like a texture pack for Virtual Hydlide.

1:32:49 What this whole segment should've been called

22:52 holy shit the background noise used for this is the same as that weird pond lock screen on a knock-off iphone ashens reviewed ages ago

1:35:25 return of the king

1:23:31 NES ones are either romhacks or homebrew 2:09:37 my favorite

Today I learned that lemons make Vinny act unwise, that broccoli is the sexiest and pitaya is the real name of dragonfruit.

Why does the music at the start sound like the backbeat to "The Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang

Watching Vinny confuse Wallace for Gromit was genuinely painful.

vinny i feel like i'm being indoctrinated

The worst part about this system is you could probably buy an actual used Wii for less nowadays. This doesn't even serve the cheap alternative market anymore.

1:38:03 - Barve Boy Pikachu

Why did Fishing go so fucking hard? The little goblin inside the console was coked out on that 8-bit sax!

44:35 Hey look it's those Quizno's Gremlins

1:00:27 "Pumpkin! :D" "Cucumber! :)" "Eggplant! :)" "Carrot >:("

i LOVE how they thought they were making "different" music on the rom hacks by just slightly changing the notes and nothing else

2:04:08 Yo Noid music.

32:28 the fencing music is pretty funky ngl

Cabbage, Banana, Peach, Tomato, Potato ,Pietaya Carerott, Paar, Cory, Lmnmn Lmnmn was definitely my favorite

Love how the Xevious romhack didn't even bother to change the name of the ship, or the sprite for the second enemy type.

Never seen someone get so hyped to see a lemon. 2:06:04 Oh snap it's Edelweiss!

You can totally tell the developers were pissed and/or knew it was a scam and are just doing the absolute minimum. Kudos to them, I guess?

13:06 if Guy Fieri had gotten that VA job

54:30 I'm calling it right now- _THIS_ is the music that's going to be copyright claimed.

1:08:05 "HOW-DEE! **perfectly cut Spongebob scream**

You can tell Christmas came early for Vinny as he prefers these games before Zelda or Elden Ring.

Eats mic* "LEMO-"

2:18:00 I used to have a bootleg hand held a couple years ago called the Dreamgear 220 in one. And even though I have so many good consoles and hand helds, I'm gonna buy a new one. This was unironically my favorite game on it. I must've beaten it 3 or 4 times.
