Dang, Scott showing his face on a stash vid for the second week in a row, hope he isn’t abandoning the iconic carpet completely.

15:55 Scott's cat putting its paw on Scott's hand is so goddamn cute ☺️

Recent Scotts stash videos have a very "cool librarian that lets students install games on that one computer in the back of the lab" vibe

The cat is like "Scott, it's time to stop playing Atari. You're hurting yourself" 15:55

10:22 Cat spotted! Looks like they're just as confused about Atari games as Scott

I miss the carpet cam it feels like it was about 2 videos ago.

i cant wait for scott to evolve into an ipad elder

iPad Kid is something I thought Scott would never say. But iPad Man? Oh yeah, it’s probably his favorite slur.

Yay scotts cat cameo

Of all things, Hearing Scott say “IPad Kid” was definitely not on my top 10 “gen z phrases Scott will never say” list.

Scott looks like the most successful Ipad kid

The iCade came out before Apple really had official controller support. So as a workaround, its essentially read as a keyboard. Which is why it works with specific apps from that time that were designed for it but not Sonic. Im guessing the stick is essentially a Direction Key, which would explain Temple Run+. I believe it works with the Mame app, if you can get that on there. Also love that it has legit arcade controls. I replaced the restrictor plate on mine at some point with a 4 way one from my local barcade.

I would die for that cat, that even cares about the iCade as much as Scott

I'm really nostalgic for the Great Recession era of video games

Can we get a new Scott the woz channel that's just short videos of your cats

Steve Job: Everyone has a pencil it's called the finger and it's free. Apple in 2024: Buy our $130 pencil you peasant

The cat is purrfect

I, too, was an early adopter of the initial iPad releases. I was among the first generation of iPad kids. My mother got one for free as a work incentive thing. We were meant to share it among my siblings, but I was the only one that ever had any desire to use it. And use it, I did. Whenever I was at home, my trusty Pad was within my grasp. Many a PopularMMOs video was watched on that screen. Many a crappy mobile game was played. I kept the original Flappy Bird on that thing until it finally broke after well over half a decade of use. They don't make 'em like they used to. We had a lot more grit back then, I think.

I can tell you who in fact does care about iPads in this day and age: Pilots. Foreflight is a super powerful "Electronic Flight Bag" including flight planning, electronic charts, and logbook stuff. It's only available for iOS and iPadOS, and thus makes iPad minis super common among pilots because it's the perfect size between the full size iPad and an iPhone.

It (sorta) works in Temple Run+ because Apple Arcade games are mostly designed to work on both mobile with touch and TV with controller.

Okay, tell me if I get this right. So Scott's Stash is slowly becoming "less effort Scott the Woz" (less effort being some effort but not max effort), mixed with Scott and friends, just doing whatever, with some bloopers every now and then. Meanwhile the main Scott the Woz channel is slowly getting more and more effort put in until it eventually gets so similar to the production value of an actual TV show that it gets nominated for an Emmy, which it has a 60% chance of winning. Scott's Snippets also exists as an official clip channel. On top of ALL OF THIS, Scott apologizes constantly to US for not uploading frequently. HOW DOES THIS MAN EXIST AND WHY IS HE NOT BEING STUDIED FOR A CURE TO LAZINESS?!

I think the biggest audience the ipad has is artist. We actually get a benefit out of the larger screen. As far as portable drawing devices go there isn't something as easy to use and versatile as ipads.

emulation is where something like this would shine.

the kitty is the best part

Yeah I miss this era, there was a certain magic back then to having this big portable slab to watch KZfaq on and play a unique set of games with. Not to mention all the funny things people were making for it like custom wallpapers and novelty apps and, yes, something like a giant arcade cabinet called the iCade.

Resident evil 4 for the iphone took advantage of scott and many others

I remember getting a LeapPad from my grandparents, and I called it an iPad when got it from them. I still had my fun with it though.

I used to play that iCade stick at Apple Store and Target demo unit! I remember I almost bought it, until it didn’t work with fighting games, which kind of defeats the purpose of the peripheral having six buttons, and you can’t even play Street Fighter nor Mega Man!

10:17 - I come to help 15:55 - AH COM TEW HALP!!!!

Not even 5 seconds in and Scott is already spitting facts.

Scott started the episode and declared war

i was an ipad kid, the first of its kind. grew up on the original ipad and it changed me into who i am tofay

10:15 This Is Adorable

Thinking back on the og ipad era of mobile games is so fond. Anyone remember the iOS port of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite? An ACTUAL true mobile GAME in a time where most ports were terrible.

Hey man I understand being nostalgic for 2011. That was the year I graduated high school!

I loved that Atari app as a kid and I wish it still worked on my modern phone.

I remember playing Galaxy on fire 2 on my iPod touch it's an amazing 3-D space shooter and legitimately one of my top 10 games

I actually really like seeing you sit at a desk and talk, I feel that it helps your delivery and it's cool to see you emote and stuff :3

Scott's not an iPad man! He's a Spider-Man!

I think the nostalgia scott is describing is back when passionate devs were making new experiences for iPhone and iPad.... whereas now, it's only giant businesses making money sucking minimal-effort pieces of garbage loosely disguised as games.

The timing of the ad though lol "I recognize this" *Wix ad plays*

Props to Scott's parents for actually expecting him to pay for the stuff he buys with their credit cards. I think parents putting their CCs on their kids' devices and then just not paying attention to how they're actually spending is a big part of how we ended up in the microtransaction hellhole that we're in.

It's a shame we don't have a Switch version of this that doubles as a dock. Would've been so perfect with all of those arcade archive releases.

Cobbler's cameo made this video even better then it already was.

I have a lot of nostalgia for the early Ipad era: Ipad 1 was interesting, we didn't get one, but my friend had one with tons of cool games!(like Angry birds, kick the buddy, etc.) But we DID get an Ipad 2, well my mom got one for her 40th in 2012 (Holy moly 12 years ago!) And we kept that same Ipad for around 8 YEARS. I have tons of good memories of playing Minecraft LITE with my cousin and my friends. I also played a lot of Terraria and Clash of Clans!

Next you GOTTA cover the Blackberry PlayBook. When I was younger I actually had one of those before getting my first iPad sometime around 2014, and I remember playing so much damn Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja and Temple Run on that thing. Like literally for hours I would play these mobile games, I don't know how my underdeveloped brain didn't get bored. That monstrosity of a tablet needs a video, Scott!

I'ma start advocating for a cat vlog

The sad thing is that I own three of these... bought them for $10 each on clearance at Macy's way back when. I put a PC in one, a Rasperry Pi in one (found a perfect monitor for both), and kept one just to use with an iPad as originally intended. I use them pretty much never-- gotta love the iCade!

I remember my mom buying an iPad 2 at release, she ended up not really using it so I kinda took it over. For Christmas one year I actually got the ICade for Christmas, and my mind was blown. It was the closest thing a kid could have to an arcade machine at home at the time, and it was the way I beat Sonic 2 and CD. Recently I went back to it however and damn are those buttons wayyyy to tight.

The Scott's Stash videos are starting to feel more like normal episodes, in a good way!

I had one of these and what I learned when looking into compatibility is that the controller was a complete hack. It’s actually a keyboard with the buttons mapped to certain keys. That’s why games have such spotty compatibility, because they’d have to hard code the bindings just for this one accessory. This was before Apple built official controller support into iOS.

There was a brief period in which I was serious about gaming on iPad, until I realized how little developers support them as new iOS/iPadOS updates rolled along.

You have a smart and adorable cat.

Most Apple arcade games support any form of controller so it makes sense it would work with the icade because it's just a Bluetooth controller

Kitty cat cat kitty cat cat

Oh no. I forgot Scott is an apple user

Lmfao that resident evil 4 joke got me. Never change Scott

It really sucks that, despite Apple Arcade being a thing now, they don't seem to have built an equivalent to Steam Input to make the myriad controllers configurable and compatible with different games.

Adorable cat.

I like the new face showing with Desk format. Keep it up Scott.

The iCade belongs to the cat now

Got one of these from my godfather as a birthday gift back around when they released and take it out every 4 or so years when I remember it exists again lol

Scott has a kitty!! 💕

It's ironic that Ipad is the most successful apple has been at creating a gaming device after trying so hard for so long.

i got this thing like 10 years ago, had fun playing atari games on the app. Now it justs sits on our basement for all eternity

2011 was honestly the best time to be alive for gaming and tech related stuff

Can we have a Scott's Stash episode on your cats? They're so cute!!

10:16 KITTY

“I’m not a iPad kid!”

That cat has great graphics.

This takes me wayyyy back. My mom had an iPad 2 and the Atari app had an arcade stick stand that you could buy for it. My dad bought it for her for her birthday and we played that thing so much.

Ipad 1 is surprisingly good for offline media. On the 64gb version you basically get 60gb of usable storage. Compression doesn't matter too much due to the display and you can fit a surprising amount of stuff on there. Also the battery life is surprisingly good considering its a 14 year old tablet

It might be because Apple Arcade games have to have controller support even if they are not made for controllers.

i love this format

I actually had the handheld version of this device that made your ipod a more PSP like device when I was a kid, the coolest thing about it was that you could rotate the phones slot to swap between landscape and portrait games

10:22 SCATT CATT!!!!!

I've always wanted to sit across from Scott the Woz while he explains early iPad games

So much to unpack here… • The Vectrex is older than he is, but is more excited about it than I am. • I couldn't get Mega Man to climb down ladders on the iOS version of the game. • I wanted to get the iCade. But after seeing this video, perhaps it's best that I didn't. • 11:32 - Someone with an active Apple Arcade subscription?! Surprising! • Cute cat 😻

Thanks Scott, been using this on my iPad Pro with retroarch since I saw this video and it’s unironically really playable

I actually have the icade in my bedroom too! I’m just happy someone else has finally recognized the joy of this amazing, esoteric piece of junk that I absolutely love 🥰 there was also a midway arcade classics that worked with it, and that was the first time I played both rampage and gauntlet. It was because of the icade that I got into old school gaming in the first place 🎮

Happy Birthday Scott!

Scott and his cat are fricken awesome.

I have an iCade in my man cave, I rarely use it but I’m never letting go of it. It served as my poor-man’s bartop arcade cabinet back in the iPad 3 era and still just looks cool and arcadey just as part of the decor.

Love seeing Cobbler show up in videos. Gives me motivation.

crazy how when scott does low effort content it's higher effort than 99% of anything on the platform

The icade can actually work with android tablets too because it is a bluetooth controller which allows you to use it with arcade emulators like mame. It's interesting that you could have better support for it using android instead of ipads which is what it's made for.

I still have one of those at my parents' place. If there was a SINGLE fighting game worth a damn on iPad, I would convert that thing to a brook wireless board TODAY.

I love the fact that Scott obsessed about the same wierd stuff as I did as a kid. I also loved these mobile games based on real video games.

i love this thing, im never gonna use it but i love this thing. this is the mentality of all collectors. i will buy anything with anime on it but i will never play them

The way Scott presents this is like this is his Kickstarter project that he's pitching to...varying degrees of effectiveness. Its so surreal

I remember seeing this and really wanting one when we first got an iPad. Completely forgot about it till this video came out. Leave it to Scott to remind me of these little obscure items!

RIP Tiny Wings. Played that shit during a class in college.

Nothing wrong with feeling nostalgic for an ipad from 2011... however, It makes me feel quite old. Im over here still nostalgic over the late 80s and 90s. Anything 2000 and newer still seems like the high tech future. There was just such a colossal leap in technology in that time that its hard for someone of my age group to ignore. Cell phones became prevalent, CRTs were traded for LCDs, went from stone age to having internet, 2D games were thrown out in favor of 3D, etc. You get the gist.

Cat reveal hell yeah

I like this format more than the carpet, as iconic as it was

I ALWAYS wanted the iCade and I KEEP looking for a new version of it.

I still use mine. I changed all the buttons with sanwa buttons and use with the mame emulator on an old ipad. My son loves it.

I swear to god, every time i watch one of your videos i completly forget what the video is about, and then you show off the product, this guy is really a wizard

Damn! I can see Scott having a tech channel

been loving the new style with your face in it!
