Tiger Gamecom Review and ALL Games - Octav1us
Рет қаралды 56,007
5 жыл бұрынA review and run-down of Tiger's ill-fated console, the "grown-up Gameboy", the Game.com
Such classics include the absolute travesty that is Batman & Robin, possibly the world's worst Resident Evil game, and whatever the heck Henry is supposed to be.
This really was a tough review to do because I was determined to cover EVERY SINGLE GAME on the console. Because I'm insane.
With much thanks to Asobi.tech for lending me this and all the games / asobitech

♫♫Intro theme music by Sam Beddoes of Freakzone games, song written and sung by myself ♫♫
If it’s not music from an Amiga or the game I am reviewing in the video, I probably got any backing music from purpleplanet.com.
Sometimes I forget to credit gameplay footage or uploaded gaming-related content (such as adverts). It takes a huge amount of time to make my videos and using these helps immensely, but if you see your footage that belongs to you and I didn’t credit you, PLEASE let me know so I can put it right.
Thank you for taking the time to check out my channel :3

Slightly different item but I saved up for months for a copy Gibson SG guitar (with KAY on the headstock 😂) , it was out of a catalogue, it was unplayable and I too learned a very valuable lesson back then, kids and their money are easily parted. It was a tenth of the price of a genuine Gibson SG but I stupidly convinced myself that it would be good.

On the subject of casino games: my grandmother, a lifelong lover of gambling, had several games on her computer when I was a kid in which you could go into a virtual casino and play lots of different slot machines, each with their own theme, music, and fun little animations that popped up when you got three in a row or whatnot. Plus each had a minigame you could unlock if you got the right pictures in the right spots. Not a revolutionary game by any means, but I remember it being fun as hell.

I'm willing to defend the Tiger handhelds because I was a poor kid and it was the closest to fitting in that I could hope for. The Game.com I remember seeing the commercials for and thinking that there's no way I'd want that and to just hold out hope for getting a game console at a garage sale, which I did shortly after (an NES for $5 with games.)
@battra92 5 жыл бұрын
Oh I get that I wasn't alone it it. The NES was a bit of a luxury item but the Gameboy was everywhere. I honestly think most people I know had at least one in their family. On the bright side, I've got a nice game collection now made up of all those people selling their NES games back in the SNES/N64 era for pennies.
