There is. Trying to get an obscure Amiga game or program working in UAE. And then trying to run something different (for those who don't know, if you set up UAE so that one game/program works well, often different one will not even boot on the same settings).
@@eternalreturnal As good as FB Alpha is, it lacks 3D game support, and doesn't have everything. It's best way to play Data East and Capcom games for sure though.

This is gonna sound suspect... but that's actually the third time the KKK has come up for me today (I can explain why and I have no fondness towards the group IRL, for the record)
when i was really little i only had a leapfrog and a v-smile and i thought all video games were like that. one day i went over to my cousins house and they were playing lego star wars on the wii and it blew my mind
I had a similar experience, I had a bootleg plug and play in the shape of an n64 controller (didnt know that at the time) with a ton of nes games on it. This was when the gamecube and ps2 was a thing but I had no idea games other than 8 bit ones existed.
43:34 onwards had me in stitches. The cacophony of fart sounds and beeps coupled with the disjointed narrator had me laughing so hard I couldn't breath
Go to 32:32 for Vinny's reaction to the Shrek game plagiarizing Zelda music. It also stole Saria's Song in a later level, and the boss music from SAGA Frontier
43:34 I like when Vinny wants to go so fast through the baby games that he actually ends up playing like a 5 year old, that Batman gameplay was toddler worthy 👌
Imagine the poor parent that probably spent money on this for their child to be entertained and then ends up constantly bombarded with loud "BLUEBLUEBLUEYELLOWREDBLUEBLUEBLUEYELLOWGREENBLUEBLUE" being heard in the living room. Edit: I see Vinny made this remark a bit after writing this haha
I actually had this and the portable as a child and my parents enjoyed me playing it because they thought other video games were violent and they didn't want their daughter to suffer. I usually played it with the volume down because I was embarrassed. My parents actually would WATCH me play it and cheer me on to specifically embarrass me. These games were on physical cartridges and there was a compartment on the system that fit up to 8 cartridges in them (2 rows, 4 cartridges per game). I played the shit out of Shrek 3, Alphabet Park Adventure, Noddy, Dora, and Cinderella. I experienced evisceral joy every birthday I got a new one. It was actually really good for the demographic and I got cracked as hell at platformers.
Unironically I learned more from regular video games than I did from the V-Smile. The V-Smile didn't teach me to read, Zelda did. The V-Smile didn't teach me to do math, Paper Mario did. The V-Smile didn't teach me about George W Bush's propaganda machine and America's bloodlust for oil, Guitar Hero: World Tour did.
These things can actually be worse for a child's learning because they gate skill development to such low levels. Kids who had Leapfrogs were worse at language skills for example because nobody in real life uses such simple sentence structure and short words so regularly. In real life kids are exposed to a variety of different vocabularies, dialects, and contexts that span from grunting like an ape to explaining ego death in precise language. Meanwhile those toys isolate each individual facet, pare them down as much as possible, and prevent them from interacting. You can't divorce teaching a skill from using a skill the way so many "childhood development toys" end up doing.
22:42 that soundboard diseased gnome fart genuinely spooked me while I had this on the background Edit: I really do love/hate how much the Batman voice sounds like Vinny’s “Diaper Chief” voice lmao
Like vinny pointed out at 28:45, the way the different voice clips are meshed makes it kinda sound like they just jerk their heads a lot closer to the mic for specific words that they REALLY want you to hear
this entire stream sent me like 15 years into the past holy fucking shit i REMEMBER having one of these things, hearing the alphabet park menu screen i swear made me have a ratatouille moment
God I remember playing this as a kid, alphabet park unlocked some sleeper cells in my brain, B! F! G! WATCH YOUR HEAD! GREEN YELLOW GREEN YEL-YEL-GREEN!
I wasn't allowed to have any sort of console growing up besides this because of the edutainment factor. Still, I have fond memories playing the V-Smile a lot; Alphabet Adventure Park was THE game since it gave me a good challenge on the hard difficulty. Thank you Binyot for playing these crazy games on this weird console that holds the earliest memories of my gaming childhood
Donkey sounds like Eddie died before Shrek two, so with what limited technology they had back in the day they tried to replicate his voice, and this is the product
My little brother had this growing up cause my parents thought they could just throw a edutainment console at him and he'll just learn. I lived upstairs and had to hear him mashing BLUE YEL YEL GREEN GR YE BLU BLUE GREEN. This was a nice trip down trauma lane.
That Shrek Zelda thing reminded me of something Jules Conroy mentioned in one of his Speedruns. It in was his video titled “you would not believe what stole ocarina of time’s music”.
Surprised that Vinny apologized about being mean to Barney. I remember that people HATED Barney in the 90s. You can see this in some of the pop culture from the time. There's even an entire movie starring Robin Williams about hating Barney.
The vsmile was my first gaming experience. I had a Barney game, Cinderella, the little mermaid, Care Bears, and other ones I don’t remember. I remember loving it. I think I played it everyday until I was just actually too old and it was a babi game to me. Can’t wait to watch Vinny shit all over it.
I miss the days when educational games were quite magical...,. I mean, Educational Series like Reader Rabbit, JumpStart, The LeapFrog learning toys of the past (including the Leapster and other devices) and even educational games based on Licensed Properties were all quite magical, and they had a charm that you don’t see in newer educational games released nowadays... Heck, even the V-Smile was quite magical too, even if I didn’t play it!
Some even featured Charles Martinet as a voice actor too! You know, the voice of Mario, Fowl Mouth (Cel Damage), that big-ol dragon from Skyrim, and more recently, a Dragon Ball character! Yeah, he actually played a voice in some educational games!
I actually remember playing that SpongeBob game, and now, after seeing Vinny play it, I eminently just question my sanity on how did I manage to play the damn game.
I contributed the segment's logo and suggested the VSmile in the first place. I'm really glad to be a part of Vinesauce history, even if I had to spam chat for two hours (sorry mods!)

These are rare to find because most parents took these out back for rapid disassembly.
Not to mention seeing KKK appearing in the game.
aaaaand thats why i had my own crt tv in my bedroom XD
