UPDATE: the serial number is: 4753-4521-2913-8749 (you can now review it trant) thanks to nl_a47 on discord for reverse engineering

-more exclusives than PS5 -including the rarest version of River Raid there is -bundled with a racing wheel and a webcam -approved by the Iranian ministry of health?! Sold.

That car game also has real car brands on the models, they didnt even bother removing the likely unlicensed brands.

Absolutely hilarious just to think about how they really were in the briefing room and said “yep this is a ps4 rival”

as an Iranian (born and still raising) i appreciate these kinds of videos. i remember this shit being an f'n meme over here even back in 2014 lmao NO ONE had faith in this from the get go. and they tried making this to proceed and then actually ban actual game consoles , which is certainly a decision of all time.

This is hilariously random, the fact they got half of the government funding is also comical. Looking forward to the next video lol

"in a perfect world men like me would not exist but this is not a perfect world" - the potion seller

The fact you bought a whole ass company for the price of 2 cheeseburgers

The Evo X model in "the car" is a straight rip from NFS Prostreet. If you look closely at 6:58 you'll see Ryan Cooper in the driver's seat. The SLR McLaren looks like an NFS Carbon model.

as iranian i want to justify the existence of this console a bit this was all just a part of propaganda created by government back in the mid to late 2000's with the release of games such as gta san andreas and battlefield3(if you didn't know in battlefiled 3 iranians are the bad guys and it caused frustration in government and government supporters) ,government started to see western video games as a cultural invasion of America so it started a campaign of iranian video games (that still continues to this day)where small inexperienced teams would create video games based on iranian culture,rules,history(search ,Quest of Persia or Mokhtar: Uprising Season or amaliyateenhedam )they are mostly terrible games funded by government propaganda , and well since xbox 360 Kinect games were popular in iran and the government tried to make a knock off version of it since they didn't have the technology so they just went with this Edit:i think some guys got it wrong,the propeganda isn't about a American company making games it's mostly about the main protagonist of the game doing unethical things, like for example in gta series the protagonist/the hero of the game does unethical things like killing ,robbing ,breaking laws and other things that counteract the rules of Islam therefore teaching teens and kids that since the good guy of the game is doing these things it's not bad thing, and if you want to be like him you should do these things.i know it's satire but well the government doesn't see it that way, and the other problem is there is no age rating for games in Iran so a 5 year old can easily get their hands on gta or other games

3:30 POTION SELLER!?

4:57 Imagine playing Touhou while blindfolded.

Im saving this. The wheel thing is perfectly achievable with unity today, it would be fun to try and make a port of _the car_ for mobile devices that use the front camera and a printed piece of paper

AVGN would have a rage with this console

It's pretty cool what you did with the domain! I wish more people would do stuff like that for defunct products. Great video!

Your channel is a gem and so is this video!! It's crazy how this was even released... Imagine being a fly on the wall in the development studio for this stuff

At least the car had ranked. Great video!

Just knowing that the devs actually thought that this would rival the ps4 strips me of all my faith in humanity.

3:46 that is great honestly

Imagine if Rerez got their hands on the Emprator and did a review on it as the worst console ever. Their review would be hilarious and amazing!!

Also I wonder if it can work with a proper webcam, or only the crappy one it was bundled with. I mean, with apps like Iriun Webcam allowing you to use your smartphone as a webcam, it should be good, right? I really wonder how much of the crappiness of this is down to bad camera and how much due to bad code.

There were flash games from the 90s that had more effort put into them than these games lol

Thank you so much for making this video, a hungarian guy collected all the games related to the iranian game industry, so this one is the top of the cake.

1:38 wow dude your awsome i thought you were going to be lame and just talk about your thoughts, no you actually did work the type of stuff i like, you just got a new sub

It would probably be advisable to put a disclaimer on the site that it is not official. Even if it's mostly forgotten, someone might believe it.

5:44 as a person who can get a headache by just being in crowded places for 5 mins, I would set the wr for the fastest headache with this game

"I had to crack the game I bought and own"...you can hear in his voice that he was seething 😅🤣

Why did you have someone do a voiceover in the first place? Your own voice is perfectly fine and no issue understanding your English if that’s the concern.

Hey Sepi. Love your forza videos and one of my favourite videos from you is your meta tuning guide. If it’s not too much to ask for could you please make an updated video on how to make meta tunes? I’m sure others would appreciate it

Bro this was bussin. This "console" doesn't deserve such a high quality video made about it. I remember these ads they showed and i dont remember anyone at home talking about it. As an iranian this is ther first video I've seen about it. From your accent im positive you are iranian as well. Well done bro❤❤.

Bro you need to make these types of content often this is entertaining af

1:26 lol literally the first thing they taught us about reverse engineering in our Assembly Language course. I vividly remember the days when this "console" was announced and advertised as a PS4 killer. Too bad didn't it see the light of day. I kept ranting about how shit this abysmal piece of junk hardware was in forums and, to my surprise, they sent me a copy of Shabgard, another game made in Iran, for free just to shut me up. I'm willing to swear on my life that I never gave them my address, yet they knew exactly where I was back then. Truly uncanny and funny at the same time.

This is a video that only you could have made, and you did a wonderful job doing so.

You are a master historian! Thank you for preserving this rare item and showing it to us

2:30 Hey look! An ICKO car!

As an Iranian, I can confirm that in the distant times, there were extensive advertisements on TV for the so called "Emperor game console"🤣

"not made in china" puts a yellow circle on japan

Apparently the "game" need to be activated and needs the DVD inserted to function, the license is in the "knLic" folder, but i had trouble bypassing the DVD check. Maybe someone can make a crack for the "game"

I just discovered your channel, man! I'm loving to death these stories about shitty obscure games. Whenever I think these devs can't do shit any worse, you drop new info and prove me wrong! And your delivery is on point, too! Greetings from Argentina!

Subscribed💪🏼 love the accent dawg so good for gaming reviews

China "we make the most terrible stuff!" Iran " hold my beer!"

5:24 bro MIGHT not have enough balls

I love your channel man. So hilarious and funny :)

I just discovered this channel, its a gem !

I kinda want this set, I love obscure pc stuff

4:08 kosar what studio? 💀

It's crazy how they created and published these games and controls WITHOUT EVEN TESTING the *** thing works. BTW great video dude! subbed

Dang, this is something worthy of Rarez' "Just Bad Games" series. Like they did with the HyperScan.

0:12 | That is Japan, it so dumb that it might be to trick us into commenting? 🗿

I research about driving simulator history and particularly like early or very glitchy ones (see my "Fahr-Simulator 2009" videos). This thing seems to be really one of the worst. Perhaps the webcam lens focus is misadjusted and so tracks the wheel even worse than it should. The spinning maze game is not that strange. There was a famous arcade game "Camel Try" with similar gameplay (and people those solve it without nausea).

After watching this... i got flashbacks of me playing 2d,3d race games on an old laptop in 2014 and i realised... HOW GOOD THE GAMES WERE COMPARED TO THIS. Like literally,they had good controls,graphics and even fps!

i genuinely really love this new voice. it feels more authentic and real. good job sepi 👍👍👍

Vinesauce needs to know the existence of this thing.

Is using a different webcam at all possible? I'm curious if you could use a modern, much much better webcam and it make the controls better at all

This is AMAZING thanks for uploading

The Car game has like 40 degrees FOV... like driving as you look into a pipe... Great way to give a great sense of speed... Also ripped models and other great things...

2:03 it makes sense, since to be like this. Since pattern recognition was a huge thing in that time :O

Very nice. Despite the console being crap, I can't wait for part 2.

been watching this dude long before and didn't notice the accent goodjob refigh

What do you think taking the camera from an other web cam that is good and replace it on the camera of the console?

Surprised it didn't come with War at Home bundled in. (a 2001 full motion video game depicting the 1980s Iranian Iraqi war where you are Iranian Chuck Norris)

My favorite way to compare this is like if a little kindergarten kid was showing off their stick figure drawing at an art gallery saying it rivaled a painting by a master artist. xD

Instinctively checked that website as soon as you mentioned and laughed my ass off at the sales page 🤣

The quality is just insane.what did they even think of making a video game console like this... Nice video.keep up the good work bro.also it’s nice to see my compatriot videos on youtube.

8:19 It does, as Sony has the resources to mass produce stuff for cheaper prices (and get their suppliers to give them a discount, given the amount of orders). I don't think that a random small company with such a tiny budget would have that privilege.

This is crazy, Not even the ps6 will be able to match these graphics and physics

This video made me laugh so much. It's the embodiment of "just because you CAN create something, doesn't me you SHOULD!". You're a real one for persisting, dude. 👍

Dang. That was a great video. Great job.

0:42 - there suppose to be PS2 EyeToy camera, as Kinect was already "nothing new".

6:04 I seriously can't stop laughing this!!!!! They got awards even without testing the game!!!! 😅

Bro well done i really enjoyed this video

Great video ❤❤❤ Probably doin’ a FanTranslation

This shit had the gaming industry shook.

"not enough balls to continue"

Okay but, a ‘controller’ with a trackable code is pretty cool in an RZ or old iPod game sort of way. Plug in play console where you buy a new controller each game, like a toys to life sort of deal.

I can't believe you bought the domain for the purpose of archiving this. You, sir, are a fucking legend and have my utmost respect.

Im from Iran and im surprised that someone got this console and made a video about it I was 13 years old when i first saw Emprator advertise on tv and my cousin had Xbox 360 and we saw that ad and said to ourself who is going to buy this thing

0:03 Kid entering John Walker mode 😆

bro im iranian and i’ve never heard of this and yet you are reviewing it and im watching So funny

"Ship in Darkness" sounds like something you'd play with a Logitech F710.

holy sh.... i live in iran! i swear i saw this ad as a kid. We never purchased it

This was a fun video, subscribed

New to your channel and loving it.

This game offers many options, but fun was not one of them.

Wow, after Driving in Tehran, they didnt stop and went on to release the legendary console.

Dadash entekhabet ke engilisi harf bezani kheyli khube movafaghiateto rahat tar mikone edame bede🤘🏻🔥

This man's accent is amazing, love it.

"so I bought it" gigachad!

The thing about "The car" game is somehow had a licence brand to it.

This is something AVGN should review

واقعا خسته نباشی ، خیلی ویدیو های خوبی میگذاری Keep up the good work

I live in iran and as an iranian , this video also dissepointed me of our game developers , and also i was kinda enjoying watching this video ❤

"The Car" has to be the worst ripoff of the original Trackmania anyone has ever created. Magnificent.

"So I bought it!" has got to be the best plot twist I've seen today.

5:29 It's using assets from "The Labyrinth Plus! Edition" (The Square facet Gems) from the Windows XP Plus Pack :p

This makes the Ouja look good... How did they achieve that?

Fantastic and well designed user friendly console. Investors should have been all over this like they were with Apple Pippin and Ouya.

I felt that book in a moving car statement

imo, this steering wheel could be useful for diy sim steering wheel i guess and i dont think if 6 bolts on middle of steering wheel can be removed or it just plastic

i born and living in iran and didnt even experienced that much Persian game ( because of how expensive and mid they were compared to other games and now physical shops dont exist that much so i cant even find these easily to laugh at it ) but i got Counter-strike modern warfare 2 Gold .
