Just realized this, but the song playing in the game portion of Drifter is a slightly edited version of Vampire Killer from one of the Castlevania games. Also, the game over jingle is the game over jingle from some NES game I can't remember the title of.

@@Unnamed1990 I agree with this.

For some reason, I love rewatching and revisiting Ashens older videos. Seriously, I remember about 7 years ago, one day I watched so much Ashens that I started to hear him when sleeping during that night.
I've watched many of his videos plenty of times through out the years. Enough to the point of memorizing parts of the script. Many of Ashen's videos have plenty of replay value. Hundreds of hours wasted on watching a British man babble about a shitty knockoff or some useless tat.
Weareonenation303 I agree wholeheartedly, I have some parts memorized as well. I think we might be sick or damaged in the brain area. I mean if you think about trying to explain this to someone it really sounds ludicrous. "I'm rewatching a video of an British man eat microwavable cupcakes for the third time" -WUT?
Nah, I enjoy Ashen's commentary and humor that much. He also has a great accent that goes extremely well with it. Some random quotes I remember. "Tuhtutuhtuhtuhtunumumum!!! It looks like an original Xbox! You know, the ridiculously outdated one, YES!" (XBox Popstation.) "Gold's universal is the company that made it! Which is probably some fake cheapy thing that would probably last for less than a photo second" (Some generic batteries, can't remember the video) "So, in conclusion, it may not be very good for games, but it does make a pleasing bouncing sound as you throw it in the bin" (Some popstation video I can't remember.) "Even a tiny, tiny monkey would find this controller to small too use, that's absolutely ridiculous. (Retrival Mankind's Batman)" "I'd look like a complete idiot if there are any guts to this thing, tuhtuntuhtunnn! tuhtuhthuh, fantastic! yes, as predicted it's entirely of the fake persuasion!" (Opening the fake cartridge from the Game king popstation.)
Ahhhh... One of the VERY FIRST Ashens videos I had ever seen, and when I first saw the Game King, I thought it looked bad and actually thought it was low quality... Then I saw some of his other videos and thought the Game King looked pretty great, and that I really want one!
The quality of that Mega Man X loop was really high. It sounded like it was an actual audio recording and not that system's chip-tune version of it. That must have used up alot of space on the cart.
I have a theory about the Duck Man game. Since the artwork is clearly a Keanu Reeves lookalike, perhaps the "Duck" part of the title is a reference to the bullet dodging seen in the Matrix movies.
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time someone mentions the ripped off Vampire Killer from Castlevania in the comments. You'll be dead within the first page.
I stopped in my favorite hole-in-the-wall game store today, and they actually had a Gameking 2 in the pile of junk on the counter. I told them "I know a guy in England who gets a kick out of these things." "Oh," they said, "is it any good?" "..... nope." :)
I wanted to make a witty comment about how they stole the music from Vampire Killer, but there are already 145 comments about it. Now I feel slightly disappointed.
Game King uses the 6502 processor. Same as in the Commodore VIC20 and C64, BBC Computer and Apple II. It's good to see the old technologies still been used.
"It hasn't really stolen from something or tried to look like something else" *Listens to music of first game* Hmm. That sounds like, hmm, I don't know, maybe CastleFuckingVania.
***** hong kong originals generally had there own rip off versions of popular games but we consider them to be there own original thing because they do not play game boy cartridges or run on game boy tech. they usually had there own cheap hardware and ran on funky programming, with fun original games such as super Makio Bros or some other blatant (but not quite copy right breaking) rip off.
Man, had they executed better, it could've been a good dot matrix lcd console. I loved those Brick Game 9999 in 1 consoles when I was younger. If they increased the resolution (dots), added backlight but no background image and had more care for the games, I could see it becoming somewhat succesful. And I think Ashens doesn't give it the credit it deserves, it's a lot better than the POP Stations.
I noticed a lot of people mentioning the Castlevania music in Drifter, but I haven't seen anyone mention that the music from Spectask is totally the menu theme from John Madden Football '93. That's gotta be the best part for me!
Just realized that the music in "Spectre" is the theme song to John Madden '93 on the Super NES right down to the "It's Madden - It's Madden" voice sample - that's great!
Someone actually did a thorough reverse-engineering of the device, and from what I've read even the way things are programmed were done as cheap as possible. It didn't load its stuff in tiles like in most 2D consoles, for one.
Jonathan Hughes (A little note, I keep getting notifications of people liking my post, but I had to comment) It's because of you that I now know the proper title of the song! Thanks! ^-^
Like it seems most everyone noticed that drifter ripped off vampire killer from Castlavania 1. However I noticed that the game over tune was ripped from the original Adventure Island.
The red car on F1-2004 Racing is from a Ridge Racer game (I want to say V), the logo is ripped off from Rumble Racing, and I want to say that greenish-yellow car is Eddie's Skyline from NFS Underground...
This one is actually not bad. When I was a kid I had a 50 in one game that was really just 5 games with 10 settings each. That one was very functional too. I remember Tetris, racing and a breakout game.
12 year on and this vid still holds up. The game king puts a lot of the later pop stations and bootleg systems that ashens reviewed to shame tho honestly.
MINER MUSIC IS FROM SPYBOT: THE NIGHTFALL INCIDENT!!!! I like how everyone noticed the Castlevania and Megaman music but not that one. If I was a snob I'd say "only true gamers would notice that music from an obscure LEGO.com game from the early 2000s" and then have to punch myself. (Actually I'm not 100% sure that was the only game it was in). Instead of being a snob, however, I'm going to be a twat and say "Thumbs up if you know what I'm talking about!" :D
The 'Castlevania' music from Miner is actually the title music from the LEGO website game Spybot: The Nightfall Incident. It was an awesome little flash game, which is unfortunately nearly impossible to play since the version of Shockwave you need is almost impossible to get a hold of.
1:27 Adaptation of the Link Cable for Game Boy. Colour, Advance. Uses a headphone jack like TI calculators. My guess is that it transmits using serial, as there are serial to 3.5mm converters. Some other devices use 3.5mm port to plug into PC using this method.
That song is the only reason I keep coming back to this video (Not because I played the game, but because the song sounds AWESOME). I'd no idea they'd stolen it from another game, though.
So you've actually found a caterpillar and started recording it.Oh what amazing things you find during recording.I don't know if it's just were i live, but it's quite difficult to unintentionally find a caterpillar here in the US.
Whelp, time to bring up something that separates me from the herd. The music from Miner? A pretty old game on the Lego website. 2003, I believe. Also, said game was the TITS. It required massive planning out, and blew my mind as a youngling. It was so amazing, that I would pay money if anyone ever found it.
The music to Miner is quite literally a song used in a Flash game made by Lego called Spybot: the Nightfall Incident. Not really sure why I'd remember that literally after playing that -years- ago.
Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident was what you were looking for. It was probably the best game the Lego has ever put out, but it was originally made by some Polish or Czech developer. I'm pretty sure you can contact them about that game.
@ashens If you come across another system like this that is simply far too dark and the contrast adjustment is of no help, try using some NiMH cells instead of alkalines. They run at a more moderate 1.2 volts each, so the poor LCD won't be driven as hard. You could also try running down a set of alkalines for a while to achieve a similar voltage, if you are allergic to rechargeables for some reason.
Apparently, they put the font from some bootleg GameBoy cartridges to say "Game Boy", instead of "GAME", or "Nintendo GameBoy", but "King" is in another font. Also the "teeth" on the cartridge could be a reference to the King James Bible GameBoy cartridge, or they had to build it like that.
Definitely the best rendition of "Vampire Killer" to date. Who needs the full version when you can loop the best part of it!
Or just play circle of the moon.
Just realized this, but the song playing in the game portion of Drifter is a slightly edited version of Vampire Killer from one of the Castlevania games. Also, the game over jingle is the game over jingle from some NES game I can't remember the title of.
hi
As an addition, Spectask has the title music from Madden '94...
By slightly edited, I think you meant a complete mess of a version with a ton of bars missing and a lot of altered tones to try to mask it away?
Yes.

Watching this in 2019 and it could very well have been made this year. Ashens is truly timeless
2021!!!

2023, almost. Ashens is now used to regulate space-time as he is the most consistent thing known to man.
2023 almost now, Have moved across the country and am now getting married in a year since I left this comment and ashens is still timeless as ever

I think drifter has the music from Castlevania. The song was called vampire killer or something else too on the nose.
Oh noes! Did the queen have you beheaded Mr. Ashens? XD
That caterpillar has a lovely singing voice
fpga core of Game King has me going "finally... I can play Happy Killer in HD" and thought of this review
I've been subscribed for over a decade
ik this is a old video but that ext is where you can put in a 80s cable cord to put it on the tv
This was the review that made me find Ashens
Ashens, you sir are one of the funniest people on UA-cam. "Jump on the slug! Oh apearently I've tried to eat it." HAHAHAHA
the game descriptions are so funny especially Miner. "Nanny uses the modern weapon to fight the various types of evil" LOL
