"No matter how hard you jump, you'll never reach the sky." Good God, that stings.

I love how Stuart just goes "eurgh!" when he sees the Yakuuken kid

Wow, the Steam Deck looks awesome

I laughed far too loudly at the screen sticker adhering to the couch.

the sticker sticking to the sofa amused me more than it should have

It's got a lanyard holder so that when you go back to the 80s no one can steal it from you because of the amazing graphics

*Has 3 buttons* *2 of the buttons demolish the idea of ergonomics and makes the system unwieldy* *Uses one button for every game*

For the Chef Excellence at the end, I was half expecting the last image to fade into the one of the chef from the Kitchen War game...

"Hard Win" sounds like a 70s porno movie

"Yakyuuken" means "baseball fist" in Japanese. Not... sure what that has to do with first-person rock-paper-scissors, but okay.

Lexibook being a hipster, not having a headphone jack before it was cool

Fun Fact: The background used in Spring Bros is blatently stolen from Super Mario World for the SNES

I found it really pleasing how the sticker from the screen stuck perfectly to the back of the sofa.

19:07 Are those three bongs?

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that it has a B button but no A button?

"Yeah you knock the other one into the sky where he will doubtless die on impact" one of ashens's best lines.

4 of those Games are actually, Game & Watch games.

That was an excellent outro.

Ashens makes pointing cameras at games look cool.

I got one of these while on a business conference trip..i forgot my DS O_o..LOL keped me from going mad in a hotel room for only $12 bux..

that carrot game actually looked like fun:D

Morra is a weird Italian version of rock/paper/scissors except with numbers and screaming. Source: i have Italian-american friends who play it all the time.

Excellent! It's one of those nights where a short Ashen's video just won't suffice. How serendipitous you incredible human!

I remember the first appearance of Chef Excellence. That was a funny video, I laughed through the entire one. Best part was I found a Mr. T sponsored vegetable steamer the next day at a Zellers.

omg that rock paper scissors game was pucca! aw that brings back some memories

19:08 Im surprised he missed the fact that the towers are actually bongs filled with gumdrops.

I love your vids so much ashens. Without them I would in a straight forward sarcastically empty world. Thanks mate :D

Love the videos Ashens, thanks.

22:39 "An Excellent Photobomb"

This thing is SO much better than the shitty pop stations he's reviewed.

I shall forever have that Mr. Runner music in my head forever now lol

The Spring Bros background was from fucking Super Mario World. I can't even...

The sprites from the Morra game remind me of a slightly old cartoon used to watch a lot called Pucca.

I think you've broken me, Stuart. All I can to this thing, after hours of pop-station reviews you've made, is that it looks alright, actually.

Man,all are (or most) of these games are either. 1. Game and watch styled games 2. They are game and watch games but with different sprites like with spring bros.

1:50 i found it hilarious how the cover sticked to the sofa.

List of games in order: Mr. Runner 3:01 Mr. Mosquito 3:51 Win or Lose 4:28 Mystic Totem 4:58 Gear Race 5:41 Hampster Fighter 6:36 Money Go! 7:11 VS.FootBall 7:54 Closed Shell 8:35 Take a Smile 8:57 Fruit Killer 9:42 War Of Mummy 10:19 Happy Farm 11:33 Morra 12:21 Puzzle Pop 13:27 Baby Arms 13:47 Ghost Buster (yes, Ghost Buster) 14:26 Sea War 14:45 Hide And Seek 14:57 Bounce 15:20 Yakyuuken 15:45 Bingo Zap 17:14 Juggle 17:38 Bird Hunter 18:15 Spring Bros. 18:47 Move It 19:08 Smart Frog 19:17 Kitchen War 19:58 Hard Win 20:55 Bubble Master 21:17 Like if this helped you

Better than pop station

"An Excellent Photobomb" 22:39

That Chef execllence at the end gives me the willies

You know...i actually work on mobile phone games (good ones, not this crap) and i bet if a major company was to release some of these they'd still get 100,000 downloads in under 48 hours -_-

Modern version of Action 52.

I like how Chef Excellence is turning more and more Italian.

This could actually keep me busy during a long car trip

what does the end say. its there for like a split second with chef exelent

An excellent photobomb

Every time everytime I want a ashens video it pops up in my sub box

thank you so much for reminding me of that show

murra is a parody of a disney cartoon called pucca

you can get the lexibook arcade centre with 60 games too

Ooo I see now chef excellence have been high definition quality!!!

My dad gave me one of these for Christmas last year (it was one of those rewards you get when you accumulate a certain number of points on your credit card). As soon as I laid eyes upon it, I took to calling it a _Pop Station_.

For some reason Ashens reminds me of a English Alchestbreach... Anyone else?

Stone, sheet, clippers...

After watching this at least 10 times since it's release, I just realized you stack the rings in MOVE IT on bongs.

I lost this beautiful thing im still looking for it

LOL yakyuuken was so funny XD 15;50

I saw one 2 days ago in a discount in Germany. However it was "200 Games".

Are we ignoring the fact that "move it" is towers of hanoi with bongs?

That ending.. So.. Excellent!

The Russian instructions on the back of this thing are a crime against humanity. It's literally just a meaningless bunch of Russian-ish & Ukranian-ish words (some non-existing words included), put together in English word order and, for some reason, with German morphology.

The rock-paper-scissors game was a rip-off of the TV show named Pucca. Anyone remember that one?

That frog game looks like the kind of puzzle that sometimes shows up in adventure and RPG games, but that no one ever enjoys.

One of his best lines in a long time

"Its like Pokemon Snap for people with no imagination." So its Pokemon Snap then?

12:36 That is a ripoff of Pucca,a character made in Korea.

12:19 OMG, Pucca was on this console.

Thank you ashens

Why are gasoline containers green in England? Is that supposed to teach people that burning gasoline is eco-friendly?

that rock paper scissor game is stolen from a show called Pura. wow wee no shame in these things.

I have a Finding Dory version of this. It has 150 games on it but it also features most of the games seen in this video.

Those games looked pretty good actually, I was surprised!!

13:09 Ashens: Who's gonna win, Ashens: Who's gonna care. (Girl: This game of rock paper scissors is our love. This game of rock paper scissors is our life. Whoever loses gets whacked into the sunset. Boy: Ok. Got it. Girl: (rock paper scissors) ROCK! Boy: SCISSORS! OW! NOT AG...) Ashens: Kind of looks like a painted egg on the right. Ashens: You win. (Girl: BYE FOREVER!!!!! (silenty says in brain "I never even liked you -9000000000000000.'') Boy: (laughing all the way says WwWwWhy?) Ashens: And.. yeah. You knock the other one off into the sky where he'll doubt he'll die of impact. Wow. What a astonishlngy violent little weirdness of a game that was. The "Morra" of the story is.... NEVER PLAY ROCK PAPER SCISSORS WITH MALLETS. (see what I did there)

morra = pucca rip-off

It's always perplexing to hear those same exact themes reused over and over from any kind of plug n play. Most famous from the "Take a Smile" game, or "Closed Shell". No matter which plug n play game of 8 bit games you encounter, it is bound to have overused music borrowed into the games more than once.

Wow new Classical Class bit for the morning journey in

2:27. It seems Dr. Ashens is channeling his inner Dr. T.

What? Action 52 is evolving! ... Congratulations! Your Action 52 evolved into Lexibook Arcade Centre!

Yeah you knock your opponent into the sky where he will doubtless die on impact. That has to be in the top 10 of ashens's best quotes

The three faces of excellence. Bless.

9:20 reminds me of the photo racing mini game from rhythm heaven for ds. I think it uses the same car sound effect, too.

You sir, are my hero. That is all.

I love the accent he puts on when playing Hard Win. "Occasionally you'll have fun. No, wait, I'm lying."

In rememberance of chef excellence

22:28 That's the Chef Excellence that's going to be in "Quest for the Game Child"!!!

An Excellent Video!

is no-one gonna point out the fact he perfectly threw the sticker onto the side of the sofa

This reminds me of Action 52 so much.

i LOVED playing the cartoon network version of kitchen wars! :D

better than i expected actually

your one liners... they are so... haha i love your work good sir.

I remember these being released for christmas market and then tons of em appearing in flea markets and such just after the holidays.

An excellent video indeed.

I remember buying something like this at a walgreens. I don't remember what it was called, but it was one of those plug in and play tv games, where the hardware was like a pseudo nes, but featured all original games. One of them was called Elfland (I think ashens showed that specific one, actually. Just goes to show how far these cheap knock-offs will go). I also remember there was a duck hunt clone, and some weird learning penguin game that stole the sprites from what I later found out to be called Yume Penguin Monogatari. I wish I'd kept it. It was really weird.

chef excellence's excellence decreases with each incarnation

7:57 is that Hello Kitty without a face?!

Not only was Bird Hunter a rip-off of a WarioWare game, the game before it (Juggle) is pretty much a toy-game-thing from WarioWare Touched.

I remember some of these games from the Zone 60

Pretty sure that the other game he's talking about while playing the plants vs zombies thing is Scorched Earth. Bloody good game, you control a tank and adjust your barrel to shoot at the other tanks. Bunch of different weapons and customization bits. Very nice game, I'd definitely give it a go through whatever dos emulator you've got. This is ashens' channel, I assume everyone here has a dos emulator.

I remember having something like this with some of the same games.
