What's the most OBSCURE GAME CONSOLE you've ever played?
Casio Loopy at a convention
It was a SpongeBob handheld system I got at a Burger King a long time ago
OnLive in addition to their streaming service they had a streaming console and a controller. My stepbrother got it for free at PAX West.
Coleco Vision. I know it’s not that obscure but everyone else had Atari at that time
32X
If you look up the word "Flex" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Kelsey and her handheld collection.
I was gonna say: woman is packing. I own a lot of stuff and know about a lot of exotic consoles....but this is next level ❤
@@samvimesfan9779 Same. I thought I knew stuff, but clearly I still have a lot to learn.
Kelsey went so hard in this video!
I wouldn't call it a flex. Owning a million junk emulation handhelds isn't a console collection.
@@b1oh1 You sound like you are a lot of fun to be around.
I made it just in time! 😆
REGGGGIE!!! Down to the wire, but we got it done. 👍
For sure check out Rogue Declan for the Amiga CD 32. It just came out in physical boxed copies.
hey Reggie, you know that the Amiga CD32 was basically a consolized version of an Amiga 1200, right? Because if you buy a floppy drive for it you can basically play the classic Amiga floppy library (and yes, you can also connect a mouse and a keyboard to use it like a proper Amiga)
I have the previous Commodore experiment that is even more obscure, the CDTV (it was a f*ckin mess) and the CD32 is backward compatible with that one too
I'm from Italy, here Commodore machines were pretty popular (and still are, to a certain extent)
Reppin Amiga stuff is always appreciated! I never had the console but I had an Amiga 3000 in my bedroom as a child. It wasn't brand new on the market at the time but I loved it.
I have a CD32 (owned from new here in New Zealand), with a massive 6 physical games in my collection 😂🕹
Fully expecting Kelsey to default to the Wonder Swan, then she was like "hold my handheld"
"Everyone's heard of the CougarBoy it's just the Brazillian version of the GameDuck"
oh well that settles that
That line cracked me up!
Even being brazilian and never ever heard about both hahaha
Damn, Kelsey got ACTIVATED on this question! lol Outstanding stuff.
Also props to the Lazy Game Reviews dude for the similarly obscure Phar-Mor referential t-shirt.
Kelsey's on fire! Big up MJC from the UK!
Another banger episode here! Thank you so much for featuring me dude…. I secretly also loved Xeno Crisis showing up. What a game! Rock on 🤘
Thanks again! You rock 🤘
Is the Sega Megajet basically a Sega Nomad shoved in a GameGear shell? It looks awesome.
Metal Jesus able to gather some of the most kick ass UA-camrs. I love it
I'm thrilled so many people contribute to these. Really fun to put together!
It's nice to see LGR pop up on some of these videos as of late.
MJ: What's the most obscure game console you've ever played?
Kelsey: Yes
LGR just casually dropping one of the most collectible Sega system's Ever 4:23
Yeah, I was pretty blown away by some of the stuff people showed!
@@MetalJesusRocksOMG I did not expect a reply from one of my favorite UA-camr's today you have made my Friday
Calling the CD32 obscure is just weird to someone living in the UK lol The most obscure thing i've played on is either the Casio Loopy or the Apple Pippin (both at conventions).
The Amiga CD32 is extremely obscure here, especially in Washington State. Reggie's the only person I know who has one!
@@MetalJesusRocksright. I only heard of it in some EGM ‘annual round up’ issues - and their assessment was ‘🤷♂️’ we heard Amiga was going bankrupt …
The Living Computer Museum (rip) had an Amiga day and I got to play one then.
@@MetalJesusRocks Dude, anytime I bring this system up, people act like it doesn’t exist. Maybe for good reason? 😅
What about the Amstrad GX4000? Did anyone even own one?
@@philipcohen7192 I've owned 2 of them boxed over the years, sold them both on for next to nothing. The only game I ever had for it was Burning Rubber (the pack in) and it's not very good.
As a longtime Ashens fan, I'm excited to see someone else acknowledge the many weird handhelds out there that tried to compete with the Game Boy during its heyday.
Also, my first console was a Sega Pico. I never knew what it was actually called until years later when I saw an article about it in an issue of Tips & Tricks magazine. My parents just told me it was a computer they got just for me, right around the time we got our first PC as well.
My man... 😂
You should definitely bring Kelsey to make a video together to talk about... All of that... Would be amazing.
For sure. I'd like to see some games running on them etc. I'd totally be interested in a deep dive
They're all just cheap Chinese emulation devices and knock offs. Nothing original. What's there to see? The same NES or random emulated game collections we've seen a million times already?
@@rodzandz yeah i dont think these emulation devices should count, only consoles with original exclusive games like the Zeebo.
@@rodzandz many of these are original platforms. Cheap yes, knockoff clone consoles or emulation devices - no
@@rodzandz The stories alone are very interesting to me... And for many more... I dont see the problem to talk about them, really.
Not really a console but I miss my TI-99/4A. Spent lots of time with Hunt the Wumpus and Parsec.
My neighbor in the 6th grade had a TI99 and it was cool typing in games from a magazine. Good memories.
I have a couple (one beige, one black and silver) with around 19 carts and a cassette recorder for it. Really like to get some cassettes for the thing (and a hookup so I can actually attach it to the system).
I just feel that the Barcode Battler doesn't get the love it deserves.
I use to have one but sadly a few years ago I donated it to Goodwill.
U mean the barcodz battler lol
2:34 “I’m playing Snake Roy on my Cougar Boy” is a thing you can say sincerely and truly and mean it.
4:00 Clint is wearing a Phar-Mor shirt. Huh. They actually rented out games - so got to play some 1990/1991 gameboy stuff.
You have no idea how disappointed I was to learn that it's just plain ol' Snake.
"What is the most obscure console you've ever played?" Kelsey: all of the most obscure consoles ever
Love you MJR! You rock! You never disappoint with the awesome content. Coming home from a long days work to a new MJR episode is always exciting!
Glad you enjoy it!
This was pretty cool. Thank you for showing us all these cool obscure consoles. I never new there were so many.
Glad you enjoyed!
I liked how different everyone's answers were. Also, Clint talking about the Megadrive PC combo with what looks like an Amstrad Mega PC in the background.
Good eye! Gotta have 'em both after all
MachoNacho didn't want to do the assignment. "What is the most obscure console you've played?" "Regular consoles that people homebrewed and have never been available in any commercial context!"
0:36 Thank you!
In the previous video there is such a tedious discussion about the WS being super obscure (which it no longer is).
Thank you Kelsey for putting that out there as well! ❤
The Phar-mor shirt also very obscure. I remember renting VHS tapes at Phar-mor. Also used to do most of my back-to-school shopping there.
I rented so many Game Boy games there. They were like a dollar? Maybe even less? Way cheaper than Blockbuster.
I still remember going there after getting my SNES and asking if they had Super Nintendo games and the girl working there said she'd check and she came back with a list of NES games that happened to start with the word "Super". She had no idea what a SNES was... I rented plenty of videos there too. Tons of wrestling tapes. I don't remember if they ever got SNES games because I don't remember what year it was, but not too long after the SNES came out there was some embezzlement scandal and it disappeared really fast.
Kelsey lol...meanwhile, me: "I've got a Gameboy Color..."
Dude! Clint, I saw you at the LI retro gaming convention and it was so unexpected that I’ve been wondering if it was actually you for months. I remember picking up the Amstrad and thinking, “This is the type of wacky thing you’d see on LGR.”
Awesome stuff! Was surprised with every one - lots of good variety here. That handheld nintendo with the cute little cartridges tho 😂
I had a very small collection prior to discovering your channel around 2015. I was constantly trading in my old gen consoles whenever a new generation came out and only keeping the games from series I more than loved and kept trading in my other games whenever I was finished with them. Now I have a collection of a little over 600 games and 9 consoles. Hopefully will get my hands on obscure stuff like these. Thanks for always rocking dude!
PS5 was extremely obscure for the first few years after it came out. Literally no one had it in stock and no one I knew could get one. 🤣
Had to buy mine in the parking lot of a police station lol 😆. Like it was some precious metal or something 😂
@@balloonedraccoon2503a dirty deal
Just by luck I was around when Game had a new delivery in,one year to the day it was released
Wouldn't really call that obscure... Something that is in high demand is definitely not obscure
Its still obscure to me bc I hardly play mine. Sometimes I forget it's even in my house.
Man Kelsey won handily!! "I've got the gameflipper XD, the gameflipper XD3, the florgtron, the florgtron 7 3D!"
A wonderful video! Thanks so much for uploading.
❤ wow been awhile since I got notification, I love your channel Metal Jesus, As I grew up and young adult play many of the games you reviewed. Thank you for sharing this.
More videos with Reggie!! Love that dude!
The video where you guys played the updated Quake was really cool. I think your fans would enjoy more of those type of videos. You guys had good and fun commentary!
I need a video full of whay kelsey did. Just everyones top rarest consoles in the collection.
1:28 She's just showing off now. The question was the most obscure console (singular) 😂😂
This.
Enjoyed a lot of these, clearly people were using different definitions or targets, and that's all cool. Just imagining if these folks got together to set up a video game museum of sorts & show off all their different / hard to find consoles & console editions. :)
Love these kind of videos
Great vid. More of these please
Love the video as always MJR! It still amazes me that you and Clint from LGR are friends/collaborators. I would love to see a big box hidden gems video with you both!
We probably would collaborate more, but he lives across the US from me.
@@MetalJesusRocks That makes sense and I thought about that right after I made my comment🤦🏻♂️ Maybe one in this style at each of your own houses or something similar would work but regardless I have enjoyed all of your content for years and look forward to seeing more!
The cool thing about the Nintendo Playstation is that it's a literal "ALTERNATIVE TIMELINE" device of what could have been. Instead, it was kind of Nintendo's biggest mistake and forced them to kind of re-contextualize their business model. Edit: also Stuart Ashens (Stewart?), Dr. Ashens (yeah that never not gets weird to think he's a legit MD of Psychiatry/Psychology) has some good obscure ones, made a movie about one of them.
From what I understand, Nintendo kind of had to backstab Sony to save themselves. The contact between the two wasn't that detailed, but Sony had near complete control over the discs and add--on/console. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fear that Sony would slowly takeover Nintendo and perhaps even buy them out. Remember that this was Late 80's-Early 90's Sony. They were on a shopping spree at the time. They COULD of buy up Nintendo easily. I would figure that if the SNES-CD/Playstation was released Sony would of bought Nintendo just before they started work on the N64.
Loved seeing these obscure consoles -- most of which I'd never heard of! The two most obscure ones that I own are a Sega Nomad and a Virtual Boy. However, I feel like the most obscure one I ever played might be a Sega Pico that I briefly fooled around with on a store display at Toys R Us around 1997 on the same trip when I bought my Sega Saturn. The Pico was almost more of a child's toy than a game console, but I think it's hard to say that it isn't a console of a sort just based on the fact that it's a toy that interfaces with a television, has a small game library, etc. (... Is it obvious I am/was a Sega fanboy?)
Holy crap
The Sega Mega Jet is so sick 😂😂 ive never seen that!!! I though Gebs was holding a damn Game Gear or something
RIP Terry. He was such a great guy. It’s awesome that he let the community enjoy the Nintendo PlayStation
Probably either the Sega Pico or, if you count it, I briefly had an Adam computer when I was younger. It had games that you loaded from a cassette drive. The 80's was a wild decade.
That was awesome. I love stuff like this. Kelsey's section was insane. I must own a cougar boy. 😅
What a delightful group of people coming together to share their stuff. I wish I had friends like this 😭
Yalls love of this keeps me coming back
Im glad your almost a 1 millon subs. I hope you get there soon gg
I kind of feel like nothing is obscure anymore. With so many videos on these topics, nothing surprises me anymore, ha! Still great video!
The Genesis/PC console is amazing! Never heard of that.
There was a (different) UK "version" as well, called the Amstrad MegaPC (the "Mega" part of the name coming from the Sega Mega Drive which you call the Genesis in America).
Love you guys been watching forever, love all the crew and happy to see another community video you guys are awesome only missing my dose of DMP (Drunken Master Paul)
9:44 what is the cool sprite based clock thing?? i want one
I had a Vic20 which is less a console and more a home computer, but it ran on cassette tapes that if you listened to them in a regular stereo sounded basically same thing as how a 56k modem worked. Had Frogger and other games on it. And with a dual deck boombox and some blank tapes was really easy to make bootleg copies of software.
The Commodore Vic-20 was my very first computer! :-D I loved that thing! It also taught me BASIC programming. ;-)
I LOVE seeing the gang all in one vid even if there not together
Keep rockin MJ🤘
& of course it starts with Kelsey talking about the WS 😂
That was awesome! Kelsey’s selection was out of this world.
Hey @metaljesusrocks! Curious when your next game room tour is gonna be? It’s been a while since the last one. Keep up the great videos!
I'm getting close to doing one as I've been re-organizing a bunch of stuff behind the scenes. 👍
@@MetalJesusRocks thank you so much for the reply can’t wait to see!
@@MetalJesusRocks Then is it arcade cabinet upgrade update and party with the crew? I'm all up for it 👍✌👌
Great to see Tito on here, love his content and his super chilled vibe. That Neptune is just a 90's kid dream 😍
I can only imagine the amount of weird, funky "Super Mario 17" kind of games in those handhelds😂 great video!
man, amazing obscurities.. i had some tv game things and something called gameson 1 which looked like a playstation but it had 3 different size plastic discs that would press on to microswitches to select the games in the rom ..
Kelsey started with gas pedal down :-) Nano Gamecube was really handy, compact, Travel, Pack and Go type of console! Always nice to hear and see obscure game consoles!
I had never heard of the P/ECE before. So now I have entered a real rabbit hole researching it!
I had a Game Axe Color which was a clone Famicom that was originally released in 1989. What made it unique was that it was the first attempt at manufacturing a handheld hardware clone of the Famicom. It was different than other handheld clones that came later because instead of using a single system-on-a-chip or emulation, it used versions of the Famicom's CPU, PPU, and supporting hardware and memory. It had a color LCD screen that was fluorescent backlit and took standard Famicom cartridges and NES cartridges with an adapter. It had A/V out, A/V in (so you could potentially plug in a VCR and use it as a screen/speakers), two clone Genesis-style controller ports, and took 6 AA batteries. You could also plug it up to a TV and use an AC adapter to power it.
What an incredible episode
Wish we got that CD32 MegaRace port back in the 90s. Should have asked Ben Heck to come on this episode with the Halcyon.
great video! I loved how everybody was in this video, can you imagine... a super game pick ups video with all of them?? :O haha that would be sick! (and a nightmare to edit haha)
Such a cool video! So interesting!
Nice stuff from Kelsey, I've got most of them but not that first thing she shows (*makes a mental note to go online shopping*).
I had also played the Nintendo Playstation while it was setup at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo some years ago. Aside from that, my obscure one would probably be the iQue Player, the rare Chinese Nintendo 64 which I also allowed PRGE to show on exhibit years ago.
The breadth of knowledge off Kelsey there as she just reels off a bunch of handhelds I've never heard of is great. Boss seeing LGR, Kinsey, Gemma and Reggie too.
The Arcadia 2001 is probably the most obscure console I owned/played. Great video MJR CREW!
wow just when I thought i"d seen it all for obscure systems, there were a couple here I had never heard of! sadly most obscure for me is probably just the NGPC! played a friend's copy of cotton on an arcade road trip. I remember the joystick being really cool, though.
I have all NTSC consoles from 1980-Now the obscure consoles are Turbo Grafx Neo Geo/CD 3DO Jaguar Laseractive Pippin CDI FM Towns X Eye just to name some
Awesome vid. Did think Kelsey would talk about Wonder Swan haha
I’m in the Vintage CASIO CG-330 Submarine Battle Handheld, I really enjoy it
Alright... I 'll say what everyone else is thinking but not saying. These people should power up these consoles AND SHOW US THE GAMES!!!!
yep, exactly.
Cool episode! Love the collaboration 🎉❤
Maybe not obscure, but 'gray area' was having a "Power Player 128" (NES clone / system-on-a-chip) where the main 'console' was shaped like a Dreamcast controller, 2nd like the original gray non-analog PlayStation and a small dark brown pistol lightgun.
I've seen aftermarket Keyboard and Floppy drive attachments for the CD32, and I've long wanted to get one as a pseudo Amiga 1200 computer in that regard.
I think we can always rely on Kelsey to go ham on these questions. I've never heard of any of these consoles that anyone has played, pretty wild and interesting. I dig it and appreciate your content.
Kelsea set the bar really high 🙏🏼I have the JVC Victor Wondermega a Megadrive and Sega CD and karaoke machine in one from Japan 🤘🏼
For me, and I have all but one game for it, but it's the Gizmondo handheld made by a company that were found out to have ties to the Swedish mafia, so they were shut down shortly after releasing it, making it pretty hard to find nowadays as all that happened back in 2005.
Kelsey: "Oh, bro... Hold my beer..." Amazing!
Nice collection of obscure consoles mentioned here! The only one of them I have is the Watara Supervision. I do have some other obscure consoles but I haven't played them yet so they don't really count. John Hancock has seen one of them when I brought it to TORG a few years ago. ;)
Might be considered more of an add on, but I owned a Starpath Super Charger for the Atari VCS (2600). Really turned it into a different console with much more memory and games loaded off cassettes. Loved mine.
@MetalJesusRocks kelsey made my day. I'm a obscure handheld geek myself and saw a couple for the first time. I've a few, but one of my most obscure is the gamemate 3d. Why not a 2nd video with the fans contribution?
I think the most obscure console of all time might be the CPS Changer by CAPCOM. Yes, you heard right, a console made by CAPCOM. Although more than a console, is a supergun from the 90's. For those who don't know, s supergun is a device used to play arcade games in lieu of requiring a full arcade cabinet. The SuperGun can be used to display the image from an arcade game on an ordinary television.
Clint!
The most obscure console I ever played is the Tandy Video Information System (VIS). It's so obscure that the only other person I knew who had it was some retro game UA-camr (forgot that guy's name). It's kinda similar to the CD-I and has one of the earliest wireless controllers I've ever seen that required it to be pointed at the console's light.
Ooh, I love these kind of questions. Always fun to see what random stuff others have played.
My most obscure is the Atari Jaguar followed by the NeoGeo Pocket Color (which is a fantastic device, BTW, definitely check it out).
Edit: I wanna try out that Neptune device
No Vetrix mentions?
I have a feeling this question has been asked before to the team as i remember Kelsey saying the Wonder Swann.
I love oddball, obscure systems. Pioneer LaserActive (with Sega LD pak), GameWave, Vectrex, Nuon, Gizmondo, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Tapwave Zodiac, Action Maxx, Viewmaster Interactivision, Astrocade, Xavix GamePort, and a Tomy Tutor. And these are mostly just stuff I found while thrifting in my area. I like supporting an underdog system.
Kelsey's happiness and enthusiasm for this subject has brightened my day, that was awesome! :D
This is just a series of humble brags about obscure consoles your contributors own... and I'm here for it.
I own most mainstream consoles including neo geo and a virtual boy and most of it's games. What is obscure to me is common trade fodder to Kelsey. Great knowledge and passion from all 🎉
I personally want to try these unique pieces that Macho Nacho showed us.
on my part, I had a clone of the Nes back in 1989. It was made in Taiwan and have over 200 games stored in it.
A little game I had as a kid.. This was sort of a hand-held.. It was the 1984 Bandai Digi Casse. It technically had slit cartriges that also had the screen attached. It had multiple games.
Fun episode Metal: what about the Nuon console/dvd player? Have you heard of it? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks.
8:26 microphone *input* you mean - think which way the sound is going!
My grandma still had a Telstar Arcade I used to play. Still think the Turbografx-16 is still kinda obscure in the mainstream. Also the Zune had some good games to kill time and was a great MP3 player
Aww I havent seen Kelsey put out a video in ages!
