I like how the protective plastic over the red mirror seemingly degraded over the years and left some residue behind. The R-Zone was literally disintegrating within its own packaging.
I feel as if, if anyone cared, you could make the screen a million times more visible by replacing the viewer with an actual piece of mirror instead of a shiny red sticker. If anyone cared enough about the R-Zone to mod one.
Yeah I wasn’t allowed to have a gameboy because my folks thought it would be too addicting, so they gave me this instead. They were right. The R-Zone isn’t addictive at all.
For sticky stuff use tape or duck tape, and keep sticking it over where the adhesive your trying to remove. It can take a bit, but usually works out pretty well.
Loved all your channel's content as well as under toe, its a sad reality knowing that your leaving the UA-cam platform for good, but being a big fan and knowing it's in your best interest I can't argue as I know its been going to the shits in the last couple of years, best of luck my friend and God bless.
Necro comment, but I ended up here from a video about the headset, the ads for which had been recently unlocked from my brain, and it had these little background inserts for each game, like the handheld devices. But there was nowhere to put them, and now I can see on this model there is also nowhere to put them. Are... are there *more* versions?
Pete Dorr streamed the R zone superscreen on twitch. That version was actually the best version imo. It was black and white and you could actually see what was happening for the most part.
The R-Zone is a portable game console (originally head-worn, later handheld) developed and manufactured by Tiger Electronics ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW to realize it will suck but you will get the laughs
Oddly, when Mark said something about putting in some AAA batteries, my iPad on the other side of the room thought someone had said "Hey Siri for AAA batteries." The search came back for AAA storage facilities or something. Yet my iPhone sitting next to me did not pick up on this. My iPad must be in the R-Zone. O_o
Apparently Star Wars blasters are now melee weapons; you can't hit enemies that are more than a foot or two away! Or are you playing as a stormtrooper? :)
We need much much more LCD simulations for Retroarch handheld core, all LCD games are still games that deserve preservation. Lots of them are actually fun too. Galaxy Wars 2 is very good and playable. Casio had several good ones, played some via a Spectrum simulation earlier and Tiger games need preservation en masse.
SHOULD have kept it sealed probably be worth $2 in 2030.
who would pay that much for the R-zone?
Brand new this thing cost $135 on eBay 😓😖
Czyli w tym wieku kiedy osiąga pełnoletność
6 more years!
I knew kid back in the day who had one of these. It was like the thing was made out of pure, concentrated disappointment.
We have it so good these days, don't we?
Yep. Even the worst of today's tech and games looks amazing when you hold it up against the worst stuff circa 1990 (or whenever.)
Imagine getting the shitty version of the Virtual Boy. Even Tiger handheld games were better than this.

"You wouldn't want to damage it"
Oh yeah, God forbid something bad happens to an R Zone game XD
i realize I am pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Kyler Damien i use FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Rohan Jimmy yup, been watching on flixzone for since march myself =)
@Rohan Jimmy thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it !!
@Kyler Damien no problem :)
... when you make the Virtual Boy look like a viable option.
Enigma2K99 I know right? This makes the Virtual Boy look fantastic!
Virtual Boy at least had actual GAMES, and some are worth owning the console just to play.
God I miss this kind of reviews. Mark, if you uploaded this kind of content again, I would watch it. It would be so refreshing.
Boom!
A comment that actually aged well!!
Yep, we are back
We need an R-Zone Classic Edition.
On the plus side there would be no scalping.
TroutButter lol or the virtual boy classic
The less educated scalpers would grab it, anyway. And they'd lose money. And this would make me happy.
atomic doomsday58 Speaking of which, wasn't that what Tiger was obviously trying to rip off by making the R-Zone?
Joseph Ruhf Yep, I mean, Nintendo was making it so of course it was going to be worth copying, right? Nintendo could never be wrong!
More like the ARRGH Zone.
Im imagining a pirate saying that
On a poorly defined pirate ship with red sails :)
Stash Merkin the arggghh zone because of the commercials
I remember they used to be sold at Toys ARRGH Us.
The horror zone!!!!!
Maybe the R Zone is what freaked Luke out so bad in the Last Jedi trailer.
trr94001 yeah because he found out his father entered the R Zone at the end of episode 3
THATS why the film sucks so bad, the R-Zone melted Luke's brain,it all makes sense
"One of those old TVs" is still in every church basement.
Oh god we're back to
The R - ZONE!
I feel as if, if anyone cared, you could make the screen a million times more visible by replacing the viewer with an actual piece of mirror instead of a shiny red sticker.
If anyone cared enough about the R-Zone to mod one.
IF anyone cared they would rip all of it;s guts out and replace the LCD film with a transparent modern one.
This system only failed because it was difficult to program for. Developers sadly never harnessed the true power of the r-zone.
That is, if it HAD any power to harness to begin with.
Best comment on here!
Yeah, but could it have run Crysis?
@The SNES Man traped in the zone and yes it could it could play anything and make it suck
A pencil has way more power than this thing.
Who gave thumbs down? I mean, are there two R-Zone developers who feel these videos are unfair?
That's what you get for dissing THE AMAZING SEAN ZOLTEK
I remember seeing this in the Index catalog in the 90's as a kid and wanting one - I never got one. I now realize that was for the best.
Yeah I wasn’t allowed to have a gameboy because my folks thought it would be too addicting, so they gave me this instead. They were right. The R-Zone isn’t addictive at all.
"Hey guys, how can we make the R-Zone worse?"
"Make another one?"
"Good plan, let's do it."
For sticky stuff use tape or duck tape, and keep sticking it over where the adhesive your trying to remove. It can take a bit, but usually works out pretty well.
I heard they actually made an R -Zone version of Panzer Dragoon!
*Opens up package, promptly destroys the playability of the system* Way to go! :D
Four buttons seems REALLY ambitious for this level of tech.

So mark what is it like in the r-zone
SHHH he's to busy counting his Patreon dollars to take time to answer you kiddies questions.
It's like Hell.
But worse.
It was very brave of Mark to venture back into the R-Zone, it has already claimed Derek after all.
I still have my r-zone xpg, actually loved that thing when it came out
I'd rather play with a stick hooked to a string and ball than play the r-zone we all know you hated it.
The return of the R-zOoOoOoNe!
😂🤣 i was hopeing he would take in the Alian type voice again ^^
Imagine how much time and money went into the animations, silky smooth 1 fps!
Lord Karnage, I know how to fix the mirror. Drop it in the trash! Fixed!
Nah, send it to the guy who runs the Hydraulic Press Channel, I'm sure he can fix it.
I dun think that even the trash can would want it
The "woo wooo wooo" R-Zone zoom-in game intro proves why you are Lord Karnage.
Wow! We need a remastered version of this game! AMAZING.
R-Zone "Xtreme Pocket Garbage" is what it should have been called
That's exactly the one I got as a kid. Unironically wish I still had it.
I set a speedrun record with the R-Zone as a kid. I threw it away in 8 minutes

The art work that sold tiger games was worth more then the game itself
You will never escape the RZone, Mark!
It came in different models of the r zone
All hail CGRUndertow.
I work in Lusby Maryland at Walgreens. Wow.
Try the Tomy Tronics LCD games, the tank one that looks like a pair of binoculars, those were actually pretty good.
My Eyes!!!!!!
MY BRAIN....
Isopropyl, not googone ;_;
it's melting my braaaaaaain!
I have the more larger handheld version where the screen is larger and lifts up out of the plastic case some.
Pete Dorr streamed the R zone superscreen on twitch. That version was actually the best version imo. It was black and white and you could actually see what was happening for the most part.
Thank you for enduring the R Zone to warn us; you do a great service for gamers everywhere!
Enjoyed your review!
Crazy seeing you wear that thing.
"This is unimaginably awful." Lol, that was a great review :D.
Lord karnage how do you not have over a million subscribers?
The R-Zone. Occulus Rift of the '90s.
Almost forgot about that one. So true.
Arse-Zone
More like.
love your show man
does anyone know what are the actually sell numbers for the R-Zone? i've been trying to look into it for hours now but i cant find anything from it
Why is there a mirror in the first place? Why not use the actual screen?
The build quality on everything but the game and screen is actually impressive.
The R-Zone is a portable game console (originally head-worn, later handheld) developed and manufactured by Tiger Electronics
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW to realize it will suck but you will get the laughs
The "R" stands for rubbish.
Burger King lol
I thought is stood for repulsive lol.
repugnant
Rubbish Zone.
I'm totally buying one.
I swear if Tiger Electronics produced an R-Zone Berzerk! game, it would have been an instant seller.
I'm a simple man. I see R-Zone, I click.
Mark: Is everyone ready to enter, the R-Zone?
Turns on the R-Zone
Insert Bully Maguire scream
This is awesome, I think I need one of these in my life! :D
Mortal Kombat on the R-Zone headset is the best gaming experience I've ever had. 10/10
The r zone looks like it could read your power level
Amazing!
"I think I might have made it worse, if you can make the R Zone worse."
🤣 Dead.
AMAZING GRAPHICS!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome thanks
but the question, you didn't answer, is it better than the vectrex?
You can clean the screen with a solvent like gasoline. Just fill up a bucket and drop the whole unit in there.
When he said he was gonna clean the screen I was like oh man he's gonna ruin it did the same to my game boy back in the day haha
RZone > Friendzone
Got the symbol backwards there buddy
i like this type of people on the internet sir . BIG UP
Ricma Maddafakka *
Nothing is worse then the R-Zone. The last Jedi is better, even Trump is more entertaining.
Ricma Maddafakka you sir win the internet
review ultra vortek for atari jaguar ^_^

O_o
An R Zone RPG would literally be what the end result of a Star Trek teleporter failure.
Don't let Soulja' Boy see that!
My Eye's! Don't look at it, It will eat your SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Long live the R-Zone!!!!
What is crazy is that people actually bought these games enough for Tiger to stay alive.
The R-Zone lol
I think an R-Zone now a days would be pretty cool
I must own a R-Zone t-shirt!
This guy reminds me of the Cinema Snob with the way he reviews stuff.
My mom knew nothing about games and trusted a star wars name would be a good product, she bought it for me in 1997
Apparently Star Wars blasters are now melee weapons; you can't hit enemies that are more than a foot or two away! Or are you playing as a stormtrooper? :)
Oh Battle Arena Toshinden, my first love
Im so glad my parents didnt let me buy this. Wow.
So much better than the Q-Zone.

This review is missing R-Zone Mark clubbing Derek!
evilash570 What ever happened to derek, post departure?
ENTER THE R ZONE!
im totally lost i never heard or seen it til wathing this good for me.
These are your best reviews. R Zone is not with out its charm.
So this is the console that the morbius game is going to be on
Why didn't you make your famous R-Zone joke where everything turns red and blurry?
Try wd-40 for the residue
Enter the zone. Then regret your decision and exit the zone as fast as you freakin can.
I gives you headaches right away.
I want one.
I hope there is emulator for this "great" handheld console.
I'll wait for the 1tb slim r zone
