Thank you for showing Frisky Tom, that was the second video game I ever had, my Dad brought it home as a gift after a business trip. If you get to a higher level, the mice start lighting bombs under the water tank that you have to put out.

GROUND CONTROL TO FRISKY TOM

A HD remake of FriskyTom would be awesome

i feel like tiger was just lazy now, frisky tom look pretty nice, so many objects and colors even water in the pipes

Just FYI, "Frisky" means exactly the same thing in the US. And "Tom" is old slang for a male cat.

I do believe this was the FIRST "Where's My Water." :P

That florescent display is gorgeous. I have a couple of these old games, but they're LED, one's a space invaders clone and one's a Battlestar Galactica game.

Better than Tiger games.

That Frisky Tom game looked like a lot of fun. I'd say it tops some of Nintendo's Game & Watch units for sure, though maybe not in the portability sense.

If you did not mention the women in bath, I thought it was a giant octopus.

I like how the hard mode goes at literally the speed of light, imagine playing race and chase on hard mode, assuming you just got It yesterday

I was literally searching something on the floor when you pretended to read the description of the game, i pretty much shouted "WHAT?!" while franticly getting up, only to realise, I had been fooled. Oh, ashens.

It’s incredible, I think, when I can watch more than half of a seven year old video and be EXTREMELY surprised when I realize that it ISN’T brand new... Thank you Ashens.

Huh... so one of the very first handheld games was by a company in Japan and about a plumber navigating green pipes....

Race n chase is the original name for grand theft auto

I would love to own these, especially the first. Pretty damn catchy music for the time it was released!

Those old VFD displays really look cool, I had forgotten they used those back then. :D

Still better than all the Pop Stations

"Kono geemu wa tomu wo umaku kontorooru shite, nezumi no..." HOLY SHIT ASHENS CAN READ JAPANESE!

"Frisky Tom" could definitely be a great minigame/phone game/browser game with a bit of polish (mainly making it clearer what's going on with the pipes falling on you), and "Race 'n' Chase" has potential, too.

That first game seems to be worlds ahead of the Pop Stations that would come around decades later.

*Frisky* Tom may act *erratically*.

the frisky tom game actually looked decently fun lol

Frisky Tom seems very reminiscent of a Game & Watch game. A little tooling, it could be reworked as one of the old Mario themed Game & Watch games.

"Let's have a quick celebration: (hurray). There we are. That's enough for that".

frisky tom looks really good actually, impressive stuff.

Frisky tom looked pretty cool for the time. Love the light up LCD games of the era.

I love these more regular updates. Makes me laugh after a hard day at work. Keep up the great work Doctor :)

Better than the working title, TommyHardon.

2:52 R.I.P Headphone users.Especially ones who had the volume on 100 percent. Lets see if I can post this before I die...

Really like these old games, enjoyed the vid, thanks for uploading!

Here's a very interesting fact: Race n' chase was the original idea for a game made by rockstar games, later, they changed the Race n' chase to the first game of the Grand Theft Auto series :)

On the battery side of things, a mercury oxide battery would be best as they have a steady output, not fluctuating slightly like modern cells do, sadly, they are now illegal in most countries because someone thought mercury might be a bit dangerous in a battery.

Wasn't "Race n' Chase" what GTA was going to be called before they changed it to, well, GTA?

Awesome as always and love this ashens week full of vids

I love your old school reviews!! It's either a trip down memory lane or shit I've never seen before - either way it's a win!!

Race n chase? Is it related in anyway to the other race n chase that later became GTA

Yeah, it's not just the Brits that use the word Frisky like that.

these handhelds take me back. I can remember the last two, the frisky one, Ive heard of but never actually seen before. Thanks for this, finally get to see one. This bugger is rarer than a game child. Hope you got the dalek sec

"Let's try it on skill level 3. And here we g-BLOODY WALLS!!!" That was the most legit reaction I've heard in a long time. XD

I so want all of those games :) I also collect everything video game :)

If my budgie ever made 8-bit noises. I would stuff it in a bag and send it to Ashens for blind bag, It would not make it to shelf on interesting things or purgatory. Lets just say that!

Thanks for showing Invader From Space. My friend had that when we where kids...spent hours playing it. Simple but fun game for its time.

Congrats Ashen on 300 Video's!

Frisky tom, priceless.

Bambino also made the boxing tabletop game.

woo 300 vid great one ashens. Keep up the amazing work i subed to you in 2012 and you always make me laugh. Your vids are very unique and never fails to make me laugh about a british joke as im from britain and i get them :) thank you

Frisky Tom actually looks like fun!

Nice Automan reference, Stuart. Way to get those millenial subs.

'Frisky Tom' sounds like it should be the name of a 'Viz' cartoon.

Happy 300 videos. :D

What a fantastic display on that FriskyTom system, a fantastic glow effect from that retro goodness

ground control to frisky tom....

I thought race n chase was the game GTA was based on

its fantastic how ashens is creating a journal for ancient electronics for generations to come.

Loved the Frisky Tom game as a kid in the late 80s. It was one of those things that 'the child whose parents had a bit of money' always brought along on school trips before the advent of the Game Boy. It reminded me a lot of the Super Pipeline games on the C64, which were a lot of fun. But even then Frisky Tom was pretty obscure; most kids just had Nintendo G&Ws or cheap knockoffs. I remember LED games ate through batteries. That thing wouldn't last a day.

I'm not a plumber...

1:52 Ground control to major Tom....

I watch all your videos and I cant believe that you have 300 so quick.

Oh Mr Ashen! You spoil us with your videos!

If memory serves, Bambino = Italian for children.

Huh, seems Tom actually was frisky given why he was trying to get that bath filled...

WTF KZfaq, trying to hide from me the fact that there's a new video. Ah, the soothing voice of Ashens telling me some random stuff about some weird crap.

300th Video on this channel! Congratulations :)

Bambino sounds like an Italian mobster.

ACT I SCENE I. A desert place. Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches First Witch When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain? Second Witch When the hurlyburly's done, When the battle's lost and won. Third Witch That will be ere the set of sun. First Witch Where the place? Second Witch Upon the heath. Third Witch There to meet with Macbeth. First Witch I come, Graymalkin! Second Witch Paddock calls. Third Witch Anon. ALL Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air. Exeunt SCENE II. A camp near Forres. Alarum within. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, LENNOX, with Attendants, meeting a bleeding Sergeant DUNCAN What bloody man is that? He can report, As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt The newest state. MALCOLM This is the sergeant Who like a good and hardy soldier fought 'Gainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend! Say to the king the knowledge of the broil As thou didst leave it. Sergeant Doubtful it stood; As two spent swimmers, that do cling together And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald-- Worthy to be a rebel, for to that The multiplying villanies of nature Do swarm upon him--from the western isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Show'd like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth--well he deserves that name-- Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements. DUNCAN O valiant cousin! worthy gentleman! Sergeant As whence the sun 'gins his reflection Shipwrecking storms and direful thunders break, So from that spring whence comfort seem'd to come Discomfort swells. Mark, king of Scotland, mark: No sooner justice had with valour arm'd Compell'd these skipping kerns to trust their heels, But the Norweyan lord surveying vantage, With furbish'd arms and new supplies of men Began a fresh assault. DUNCAN Dismay'd not this Our captains, Macbeth and Banquo? Sergeant Yes; As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion. If I say sooth, I must report they were As cannons overcharged with double cracks, so they Doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe: Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds, Or memorise another Golgotha, I cannot tell. But I am faint, my gashes cry for help. DUNCAN So well thy words become thee as thy wounds; They smack of honour both. Go get him surgeons. Exit Sergeant, attended Who comes here? Enter ROSS MALCOLM The worthy thane of Ross. LENNOX What a haste looks through his eyes! So should he look That seems to speak things strange. ROSS God save the king! DUNCAN Whence camest thou, worthy thane? ROSS From Fife, great king; Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky And fan our people cold. Norway himself, With terrible numbers, Assisted by that most disloyal traitor The thane of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict; Till that Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof, Confronted him with self-comparisons, Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm. Curbing his lavish spirit: and, to conclude, The victory fell on us. DUNCAN Great happiness! ROSS That now Sweno, the Norways' king, craves composition: Nor would we deign him burial of his men Till he disbursed at Saint Colme's inch Ten thousand dollars to our general use. DUNCAN No more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive Our bosom interest: go pronounce his present death, And with his former title greet Macbeth. ROSS I'll see it done. DUNCAN What he hath lost noble Macbeth hath won. Exeunt SCENE III. A heath near Forres. Thunder. Enter the three Witches First Witch Where hast thou been, sister? Second Witch Killing swine. Third Witch Sister, where thou? First Witch A sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap, And munch'd, and munch'd, and munch'd:-- 'Give me,' quoth I: 'Aroint thee, witch!' the rump-fed ronyon cries. Her husband's to Aleppo gone, master o' the Tiger: But in a sieve I'll thither sail, And, like a rat without a tail, I'll do, I'll do, and I'll do. Second Witch I'll give thee a wind. First Witch Thou'rt kind. Third Witch And I another. First Witch I myself have all the other, And the very ports they blow, All the quarters that they know I' the shipman's card. I will drain him dry as hay: Sleep shall neither night nor day Hang upon his pent-house lid; He shall live a man forbid: Weary se'nnights nine times nine Shall he dwindle, peak and pine: Though his bark cannot be lost, Yet it shall be tempest-tost. Look what I have. Second Witch Show me, show me. First Witch Here I have a pilot's thumb, Wreck'd as homeward he did come. Drum within Third Witch A drum, a drum! Macbeth doth come. ALL The weird sisters, hand in hand, Posters of the sea and land, Thus do go about, about: Thrice to thine and thrice to mine And thrice again, to make up nine. Peace! the charm's wound up. Enter MACBETH and BANQUO MACBETH So foul and fair a day I have not seen. BANQUO How far is't call'd to Forres? What are these So wither'd and so wild in their attire, That look not like the inhabitants o' the earth, And yet are on't? Live you? or are you aught That man may question? You seem to understand me, By each at once her chappy finger laying Upon her skinny lips: you should be women, And yet your beards forbid me to interpret That you are so. MACBETH Speak, if you can: what are you? First Witch All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Glamis! Second Witch All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, thane of Cawdor! Third Witch All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter! BANQUO Good sir, why do you start; and seem to fear Things that do sound so fair? I' the name of truth, Are ye fantastical, or that indeed Which outwardly ye show? My noble partner You greet with present grace and great prediction Of noble having and of royal hope, That he seems rapt withal: to me you speak not. If you can look into the seeds of time, And say which grain will grow and which will not, Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear Your favours nor your hate. First Witch Hail! Second Witch Hail! Third Witch Hail! First Witch Lesser than Macbeth, and greater. Second Witch Not so happy, yet much happier. Third Witch Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none: So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo! First Witch Banquo and Macbeth, all hail! MACBETH Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more: By Sinel's death I know I am thane of Glamis; But how of Cawdor? the thane of Cawdor lives, A prosperous gentleman; and to be king Stands not within the prospect of belief, No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence You owe this strange intelligence? or why Upon this blasted heath you stop our way With such prophetic greeting? Speak, I charge you. Witches vanish BANQUO The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, And these are of them. Whither are they vanish'd? MACBETH Into the air; and what seem'd corporal melted As breath into the wind. Would they had stay'd! BANQUO Were such things here as we do speak about? Or have we eaten on the insane root That takes the reason prisoner? MACBETH Your children shall be kings. BANQUO You shall be king. MACBETH And thane of Cawdor too: went it not so? BANQUO To the selfsame tune and words. Who's here? Enter ROSS and ANGUS ROSS The king hath happily received, Macbeth, The news of thy success; and when he reads Thy personal venture in the rebels' fight, His wonders and his praises do contend Which should be thine or his: silenced with that, In viewing o'er the rest o' the selfsame day, He finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Strange images of death. As thick as hail Came post with post; and every one did bear Thy praises in his kingdom's great defence, And pour'd them down before him. ANGUS We are sent To give thee from our royal master thanks; Only to herald thee into his sight, Not pay thee. ROSS And, for an earnest of a greater honour, He bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor: In which addition, hail, most worthy thane! For it is thine. BANQUO What, can the devil speak true? MACBETH The thane of Cawdor lives: why do you dress me In borrow'd robes? ANGUS Who was the thane lives yet; But under heavy judgment bears that life Which he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined With those of Norway, or did line the rebel With hidden help and vantage, or that with both He labour'd in his country's wreck, I know not; But treasons capital, confess'd and proved, Have overthrown him. MACBETH [Aside] Glamis, and thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind. To ROSS and ANGUS Thanks for your pains. To BANQUO Do you not hope your children shall be kings, When those that gave the thane of Cawdor to me Promised no less to them? BANQUO That trusted home Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Besides the thane of Cawdor. But 'tis strange: And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's In deepest consequence. Cousins, a word, I pray you. MACBETH [Aside] Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme.--I thank you, gentlemen. Aside Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor: If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings: My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is But what is not. BANQUO Look, how our partner's rapt. MACBETH [Aside] If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, Without my stir. BANQUO New horrors come upon him, Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould But with the aid of use. MACBETH [Aside] Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day. BANQUO Worthy Macbeth, we stay upon your leisure. MACBETH Give me your favour: my dull brain was wrought With things forgotten. Kind gentlemen, your pains Are register'd where every day I turn The leaf to read them. Let us toward the king. Think upon what hath chanced, and, at more time, The interim having weigh'd it, let us speak Our free hearts each to other. BANQUO Very gladly. MACBETH Till then, enough. Come, friends. Exeunt SCENE IV. Forres. The palace. Flourish. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, LENNOX, and Attendants DUNCAN Is execution done on Cawdor? Are not Those in commission yet return'd? MALCOLM My liege, They are not yet come back. But I have spoke With one that saw him die: who did report That very frankly he confess'd his treasons, Implored your highness' pardon and set forth A deep repentance: nothing in his life Became him like the leaving it; he died As one that had been studied in his death To throw away the dearest thing he owed, As 'twere a careless trifle. DUNCAN There's no art To find the mind's construction in the face: He was a gentleman on whom I built An absolute trust. Enter MACBETH, BANQUO, ROSS, and ANGUS O worthiest cousin! The sin of my ingratitude even now Was heavy on me: thou art so far before That swiftest wing of recompense is slow To overtake thee. Would thou hadst less deserved, That the proportion both of thanks and payment Might have been mine! only I have left to say, More is thy due than more than all can pay. MACBETH The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. Your highness' part Is to receive our duties; and our duties Are to your throne and state children and servants, Which do but what they should, by doing every thing Safe toward your love and honour. DUNCAN Welcome hither: I have begun to plant thee, and will labour To make thee full of growing. Noble Banquo, That hast no less deserved, nor must be known No less to have done so, let me enfold thee And hold thee to my heart. BANQUO There if I grow, The harvest is your own. DUNCAN My plenteous joys, Wanton in fulness, seek to hide themselves In drops of sorrow. Sons, kinsmen, thanes, And you whose places are the nearest, know We will establish our estate upon Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter The Prince of Cumberland; which honour must Not unaccompanied invest him only, But signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine On all deservers. From hence to Inverness, And bind us further to you. MACBETH The rest is labour, which is not used for you: I'll be myself the harbinger and make joyful The hearing of my wife with your approach; So humbly take my leave. DUNCAN My worthy Cawdor! MACBETH [Aside] The Prince of Cumberland! that is a step On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap, For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires: The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be, Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see. Exit DUNCAN True, worthy Banquo; he is full so valiant, And in his commendations I am fed; It is a banquet to me. Let's after him, Whose care is gone before to bid us welcome: It is a peerless kinsman. Flourish. Exeunt SCENE V. Inverness. Macbeth's castle. Enter LADY MACBETH, reading a letter LADY MACBETH 'They met me in the day of success: and I have learned by the perfectest report, they have more in them than mortal knowledge. When I burned in desire to question them further, they made themselves air, into which they vanished. Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it, came missives from the king, who all-hailed me 'Thane of Cawdor;' by which title, before, these weird sisters saluted me, and referred me to the coming on of time, with 'Hail, king that shalt be!' This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thou mightst not lose the dues of rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee. Lay it to thy heart, and farewell.' Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be What thou art promised: yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great; Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it: what thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win: thou'ldst have, great Glamis, That which cries 'Thus thou must do, if thou have it; And that which rather thou dost fear to do Than wishest should be undone.' Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirits in thine ear; And chastise with the valour of my tongue All that impedes thee from the golden round, Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem To have thee crown'd withal. Enter a Messenger What is your tidings? Messenger The king comes here to-night. LADY MACBETH Thou'rt mad to say it: Is not thy master with him? who, were't so, Would have inform'd for preparation. Messenger So please you, it is true: our thane is coming: One of my fellows had the speed of him, Who, almost dead for breath, had scarcely more Than would make up his message. LADY MACBETH Give him tending; He brings great news. Exit Messenger The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan Under my battlements. Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood; Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances You wait on nature's mischief! Come, thick night, And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry 'Hold, hold!' Enter MACBETH Great Glamis! worthy Cawdor! Greater than both, by the all-hail hereafter! Thy letters have transported me beyond This ignorant present, and I feel now The future in the instant. MACBETH My dearest love, Duncan comes here to-night. LADY MACBETH And when goes hence? MACBETH To-morrow, as he purposes. LADY MACBETH O, never Shall sun that morrow see! Your face, my thane, is as a book where men May read strange matters. To beguile the time, Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't. He that's coming Must be provided for: and you shall put This night's great business into my dispatch; Which shall to all our nights and days to come Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom. MACBETH We will speak further. LADY MACBETH Only look up clear; To alter favour ever is to fear: Leave all the rest to me. Exeunt SCENE VI. Before Macbeth's castle. Hautboys and torches. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, BANQUO, LENNOX, MACDUFF, ROSS, ANGUS, and Attendants DUNCAN This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself Unto our gentle senses. BANQUO This guest of summer, The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, By his loved mansionry, that the heaven's breath Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze, Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle: Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed, The air is delicate. Enter LADY MACBETH DUNCAN See, see, our honour'd hostess! The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach you How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains, And thank us for your trouble. LADY MACBETH All our service In every point twice done and then done double Were poor and single business to contend Against those honours deep and broad wherewith Your majesty loads our house: for those of old, And the late dignities heap'd up to them, We rest your hermits. DUNCAN Where's the thane of Cawdor? We coursed him at the heels, and had a purpose To be his purveyor: but he rides well; And his great love, sharp as his spur, hath holp him To his home before us. Fair and noble hostess, We are your guest to-night. LADY MACBETH Your servants ever Have theirs, themselves and what is theirs, in compt, To make their audit at your highness' pleasure, Still to return your own. DUNCAN Give me your hand; Conduct me to mine host: we love him highly, And shall continue our graces towards him. By your leave, hostess. Exeunt SCENE VII. Macbeth's castle. Hautboys and torches. Enter a Sewer, and divers Servants with dishes and service, and pass over the stage. Then enter MACBETH MACBETH If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly: if the assassination Could trammel up the consequence, and catch With his surcease success; that but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all here, But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We'ld jump the life to come. But in these cases We still have judgment here; that we but teach Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice To our own lips. He's here in double trust; First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking-off; And pity, like a naked new-born babe, Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, horsed Upon the sightless couriers of the air, Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other. Enter LADY MACBETH How now! what news? LADY MACBETH He has almost supp'd: why have you left the chamber?

I wonder if anybody has an old Comp IV? I had one in the late 70's and got pretty good at it. The game was just like Mastermind, where you tried to guess the other player's color pegs with your only clues being how many you guessed right and how many were in the correct permutation. The Comp IV used numbers, 1 through 5, with 3,4, or 5 digit permutations to guess, instead of colors since it's display was 10 red LED's next to numbers on the screen itself.

Oh wow. I played that Invaders from Space game so much as a kid. I can't remember the noise being that obnoxious either. Thanks for bringing back the good memories like!

Wait... Ashens can read- I just heard you say that someone translated it. Now this comment is useless

Bloody hell, I just watched Ashens' "The Box of Retro Delights" video on TGWTG yesterday, and though "Hmmm, wonder when he'll get around to doing those, those Bambino games look interesting..." Even though the tat is fun, it's great to see these proper games make an appearance occasionally.

"Frisky Tom"... Sounds like that one strange neighbor everyone avoids... Haha

Ashens, i follow you since you were 1000 subscribers :')

"I kinda now get the idea of what was going on but I died because of things I couldn't see" suitable title for the game of life

I like that the portable version of Frisky Tom looks like you're playing a game on a shortwave radio.

Happy 300th Stuart, here's to seven more years!

man I love the look of the old color lcd games, clock displays or anything like that

Glad to see I'm not the only one. If it weren't for ashens' tumblr I wouldn't have known this video was uploaded. I hope youtube will fix this quickly...

That music at the end love it!

8:07 Is this how the LSPD & LSCS from GTA V practice their police chases?

I wanna thank you for sharing this item .

That VFD is sexy as hell. None of that LED rubbish.

Just a side note to Ashens (presuming you read these at all)--the reason the Race N' Chase things keep saying 'press this button' is because they're numbered to match the button diagram above the instructions.

I had one of those when I was a kid. It was a large green circular thing where you had to capture animals with a cage (moving box). It was legitimately entertaining for the time!

8:04 "let's try skill level 3.... and go. BLOODY WARS!"

This reminded me of being about 3 years old back in the 80s coming down stairs and my dad having a loch ness board game and a turquoise space invaders handheld which I think mustve been my very first gaming experience Peace!!

I had no Idea you knew japanese ashens, im impressed

You can really tell that Ashens just wants to remain humble about 300 videos rather than wear himself out and do something special about it, he has decided that he wants to continue doing what he does, rather than letting accomplishments get in the way of it. I really respect that, and feel like the only episodes of a series that need to separate themselves from another on purpose are the Pilots, and finales.

It was indeed. Glad I'm not the only one that instantly jumped to that conclusion!

I agree, it looks like it has that type of addictive gameplay and charm which grows on you, much unlike most LCD handhelds.

when I saw the friskytom game I thought "oh a game and watch" before he started it, turns out it was lol

Frisky Tom is an awesome game! Thanks!

tandy made a series of games similar to invaders from space. i have one i recently got working again recently. still fun despite it's age. also, love those old VFD screens. so much better than the LEDs and LCD screens today

This looks awesome!:D

Good thing you mentioned someone translated it for you, for a moment I was going nuts because you can read Japanese.

I had one very similar to the Invaders from Space in the early 80s. It had a 2 player option with a second set of controls at the top so player 2 could control the invaders. I loved that game.

Interestingly, there's a section of Internet Archives for old LCD and LED game emulation (yes, really) that has FriskyTom available for play.

First handheld that Ashens has ever reviewed that we can actually see properly. :D

i love these types of handhelds! i collect these sorts of things

I had a look on your channel to see, but I was wondering if you possess a Nintendo Game & Watch collection. My Dad used to bring them back from Japan and China all the time when we were kids. Although, in later years my twat older brother would sneakly requisition them all when he left home and then later on proceeded to lose them in a house move. I managed to retain a few like the orange Donkey Kong, Parachute, Chef, Zelda and Turtle Bridge though. Anyway I loved these type of games growing up.

Wow... I do remember Invaders From Space. One of my friends had it when we were younger.
