Weirdest gaming SCAMS 

this one was really fun to research. lot of really insane console concepts from back in the day that couldn't have worked 'cause they were ahead of their time

The "we need jungle, I'm afraid" sudden bit lmao

Thanks for the jungle edits my dood 🎛️🎚️🎧🎵🎶👨‍🎤

The NEO GEO Arcade Cabinets ran on Beta Tapes and their games were the Creme Brûlée of the day.

I remember, back in the early 2000s, on the show "Pulse" on G4, they talked about all digital console called the Phantom. It was the console of my dreams. Now, i barely touch my Series S. Lol

i freaking remember wanting the panasonic jungle back in the day LMFAO it even made an appearance on rob dyrdeks fantasy factory on mtv!!

Dude... I had a ColecoVision ADAM computer when I was growing up and it stored games and applications on regular audio cassette tapes. So, I could totally see how that VHS gaming system could work, too.

The WarmerMaster joke was incredible. I spit my coffee laughing and my cat looked at me like I offended her ancestors.

I wanted that KFC gaming PC so bad! STILL DO!

YESSSSS another one of these lists. I love when Austin and Matt are completely taken off guard by nonsense Kinsey found

Laughed so hard at 2:36. You could see the gears turning in Matt's head where he would cheer Kinsey on to do that and then admonish her afterwards. Matt is a natural boss.

I’m just gonna say that Bloons didn’t deserve that shade, Austin threw a whole ass tree at BTD 😂

No Nuon or Phantom? 🤦🏻‍♂️

For anyone wondering, the Halcyon console conversion rate to todays money would be just under $6000 American freedom dollars

Funny radio signals story, my dad had a radio show a few years back and the station was at the top of a hill with million dollar mansions all around it. The people who routed the cables for a new construction did not use shielded cables for the entire house resulting in those cables getting every signal being put out my the radio station. Also if you're reading this, I hope you have a great weekend.

I'm glad the Atari Box is an actual real console and not a scam like the Coleco Chameleon and Intellivision Amico.

I need Matt's shirt. Such an understated Star Wars reference that I would wear it just to identify other people who could recognize it

The Konix multi system was pretty advanced for the time. The hardware was made by the guys that created the Atari Jaguar. It was going to have a recoiling lightgun and a full on hydraulic gaming chair like a temu version of space harrier. Jeff minter wrote a few games for it and it also had an impressive afterburner clone that got recoded and released as blue lightning on the Atari lynx. Its main flaws were lack of memory and games that came on slow 3.5 disks. The chair also overheated and broke at a trade show. It did eventually get released as a joystick for the PC (without the console bit obviously).

I love this episode 😂❤️

I can’t believe Austin just dissed Bloons like that 💀

"Neptune was in retrograde" best joke in a long time, 10/10

the remote control car didnt move b/c of radio signals. when left on, battery powered remote control cars move byitself to remind you to turn it off and save the battery

7:46 my mate used to play wow on a laptop with integrated gfx i remember seeing him literally loving life at 4fps .. literally i square brown no lies 4fps

I had a sega Neptune as a kid. It looked just like that, had the slot for cartridges as well as the disk tray. We only had some disks and not carts to say if that part functioned. But it was all one piece, not attachments

The Konix looked great back in the 80s

I know most of thoses weird console but I didn't know many you show in your video, great job guy's... And it's was funny A'F !

You could also have added the razer switchblade. Not really a console, but it looked really nice

I wanted a 32X in the 90s as a kid, Neptune or not, until I realized the 32X-specific game selection wasn't really my cup of tea, and then the PS1 came out.

We need a second part maybe do prototype consoles

I can't believe a video dedicated to vaporware consoles didn't include any mentions of the console named-I kid you not-Phantom

I can't believe the Indrema L600 wasn't mentioned. It was announced in 2000 and was supposed to be made of off the shelf PC parts and ran Linux. It was more than possible to make it, but it never happened.

The 32X was a good idea with bad executions. Towards the end of their life span, both Genesis and SNES had games that were $90+. The 32X could help get the prices of those games down, but Sega dropped the ball.

04:48 The yoof won't know whats wrong with that VHS tape, but us old heads know...

Imagine playing on your console and accidentally jamming police or air control radios. Seriously, 1000ft? Who the hell would entertain this abomination?

What i want is for sony to release a ps2 classic

Im surprised the XGO isn't on this list. It was Kickstarter'd that was successful, but all the sudden, after its completion, was Suspended. Nobody know why it was suspended or if refunds were distributed, but it doesn't exist. Legitimately, it looks like something you get from one of those mall kiasks.

The Atari Cosmos would have had a grid of red LEDs that would light up underneath holograms. It wasn't mind-blowing technology. And all its games were built in, swappable only by changing out the hologram cartridge. It's things like this that ultimately killed Atari, they were spending tons of money on things like holographics, video phones, even things like heart defibrillators. They had somewhere between 120 to 180 buildings scattered across Silicon Valley doing all sorts of R&D, and not paying attention to how much money the company was taking in. They were losing something like $2 million a day on all the stuff they were working on, including designing, manufacturing, and then warehousing the Atari 7800 but not getting to the point of releasing it. Everybody carries a piece of Atari in their pockets all across the world. The little holograms on credit cards and driver's licenses? Invented by Atari. Holograms used to be expensive and complicated to make, Atari wanted them for the Cosmos, figured out a new process to make them dirt cheap, and ultimately sold that division off after the game market crash. Now they're everywhere.

This made me wonder what ever happened to the Atari console they tried to bring back like 5 ish years ago?

How could you leave out the Infinium Labs Phantom? It was the Amico of the early 2000s.

Lazer disc baby!!!

Is Matt’s shirt a star wars shirt?

Are we sure the new Intellivision isn't owned by Kel-Tec?

You should have included the Phantom from Infinium Labs. They legally threatened a tech review /gaming news website, HardOCP over their investigations into the console and the people at Infinium Labs. Kyle from HardOCP filed a counter lawsuit and Infinium Labs settled to get out of a lawsuit that was not going well for them. One of the known early prototype units was destroyed by HardOCP at QuakeCon.

Want to see how much they'd hate the razor junglecat controllers.(joysticks all at the top)

The YT algorithm put a kfc commercial in you break right after the kfc console 😂

Sounds like don’t going saga vibes add on disk drive

2004: The PHANTOM Linux Gaming Console. I was so Geeked when I read the Announcement article, it looked like Abandonware Almost Instantly I tried to Learn everything I could to make my own out of PC parts, but nothing about the OS was shown

I was really enjoying this untill they made me remember that i started out on C64 and im in the uk so Yes had a cassette lmao..Great Vid dudes :-)

Soilder boy 😂😂

Does anybody remember a commercial for a second sega handheld around 2002. Or did I hallucinate it. I swear I remember it but can’t find any info online.

Waldo and a snake got a Vlog?

i just got api scammed on steam and lost my $1200 inventory but this video plus some fried chicken has made me feel better!

Lost a few IQ points on this one guys

Scams...oh yeah!

DJ Slopes did a video a while back about the Amico, and apparently its going to be mobile only now.

What about the PHANTOM console?

Yeet it! Yeet it! Yeet it! Yeet it!

Atari 2600 had working wireless controllers. 🌈 The more you know. 🌟

7:15 😂🎉💥

Hi

WoW burning crusade era was the GOAT! Unfortunately Blizzard has since ruined WoW

Am i the only one who noticed fhe french countdown was the respawn in Halo multiplayer

Intellivision Amico....NFTS????? Oh boy! This console is going To the Moon..........Patrol.

The APEX Console lmao!

jungle is the best EDM.

Parden Austins French 🥖

$2100.00 would be about 6K.

This does sound bad..... almost to the level of most things made by Apple themselves.

The French moment made my ears bleeding 😩

Apex dream 😭 more like a nightmare

Oh, TommyT...how the mighty have fallen.

Daddy can do no wrong!

Clearly y’all never watched Hbomberguy’s video on the oof sound.

To be fair with the Sega Neptune, it does sort of exist, there are a couple RU-vid vids of people modding their Sega Genesis to be one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oz_8-sqxLjs.html for example

Nfts.... Immitely reddest flag!

Guys, you forgot to mention PlayStation Potal.

Where's Kinsey she's so awesome 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿

the guy on the right is way too prideful

☁ Puff Puff Pass ☁

Mount Hi y'all

Austin is being possess 🤔🤫

PS5? I'll make a note that.

A lot of these weren’t scams 🤷🏻‍♂️

id rather kick uranus instead😆

ppoop :)

Amico is dead

1st

Fourth comment, here before this blows up

You play garbage like fortnite but you want to call world of warcraft bad? lol

I can't believe you dug up so many obscure consoles and then said NOTHING about them! What a wasted video. stupid jokes and WoW nostalgia instead of mentioning wtf the Panasonic Jungle was actually about. Why?

For every *LIKE* this comment gets I’ll pluck out *ONE* of my ball hairs!🙀 See how stupid this is...

austin is a scam 😂

Wish you did proper research. Atari radio controllers were a thing they were created and exist

Hi
