- If you liked Cassette 50 and Action 52, you'll love 155,000 Games! Over twice as many games as are even known to exist for the PC, on one DVD-ROM! No shareware or freeware! No fun, either!

"Over one million games sold."
That's seven copies. You bought the eighth.
Well played!
Was just about to write EXACTLY this xD
Math-Jokes - You can always count on them :P
"over one million games sold to the recycle guy."
LOL I was thinkin' the same thing!
This is typically something a well meaning grandma would buy for her grandkids.
It’s one expensive coaster.
Heartburn--cough--Heartland America catalog...are you listening?
And like we do for the countless shirts, pants, attire in general - we smile, accept and smile a gain - and donate. Not too quickly - god forbid she see's it and remembers - but the gift is thoughtful and indeed she tried - and won in my opinion ;)
My mom bought me a few of those. Wish I kept them as I miss her and the things she put thought into getting me
@@Wahinies what happened to her?
That helicopter dropping instantly had me in stitches xDDD .
Hello and welcome to this Chyrosran22 comment
that really was funny lmao
hhhhhhhhiiiideous
I lost it xd
This is like those 1,000,000 in 1 NES carts that just have like 60 games.
And the remaining games are just the same 60 games with different names.
@@und4287 Yeah. Super Mario Bros FDC. Etc.
Back in my high school days when I worked a swap meet stall we sold these for about $30 bucks. Your comment sounds about right. I got to play the sample and it was horrible. It's bad when you can't program 8-bit Nintendo games or you just don't give a shit.
At least those 99999999-in-1 carts pirate (or romhack) good games instead of making their own.
Officially licensed by Steepler, nonetheless
I remember seeing these kinds of “games” at any place that sold PC games in the 2000’s, and I remember badly wanting them, thinking how cool it would be to play a seemingly-endless amount of games. My parents, of course, always said no and had me move on.
Knowing what I know now, I’m glad they made the right call.
I wouldn't be surprised if that disc has some of E-Games's titles on there complete with the TimeSink adware that came bundled with them.
I used to love Total Anniahlation, and bought this huge "war games box" with 6 old, but full, strategy games on it. I think I played four of them once, and didn't even bother installing the other two.
Crazy Machines is still fun. That’s about it.
I'm pretty sure a lot of these games were made with Klik & Play / Games Factory. They all use that same default font and explosion effects.
Rated "E" for excrement.
10 and up
A moment of silence for the kids who woke up on a crisp, 2009 Christmas morning to this drivel stuffed in their stockings by well-meaning parents.
155,000 gun salutes have been organised for them.
The physical equivalent of a sketchy website claiming to offer all games that have ever been coded in one place.
Some of those games reminded me of demo programs included in DirectX development kits from the late 1990s. I wonder if the producers of this colossal disc of crap used those demos to cookie cutter a bunch of unimaginative games?
@@Grinder2112 Could be...
This reminds me of cool math games.
@@Grinder2112 They're all the same game, with different textures and maps
Durak is a classic Russian card game. The name literally translates to "fool" or "stupid," and it's very simple. Each player gets 6 cards. When a player puts down a 6 of hearts for example, then the opponent has to beat that card with a higher number of the same suit. Such as a 7 of hearts placed on top. Whoever runs out of cards first is the winner.
And the last person left with any cards at the end of the game is the “fool”.
@@ABCEasyas-- In Italy we have a similar game, but the loser is a "donkey".
I have a feeling this is gonna be like one of these bootleg "100000" in one carts for the NES.
Even worse lol
Honestly I would much rather have one of those cheap multicarts
Action 52 ain’t got nothing on this!
Reminds me of the Super Joy! Anyone remember those???
why is this bad?
9:32 Note that the word "Russian" is written janky, using Latin letters
The text above says "Make a word by moving the letters, to check press ok"
6:25 "Durak" is a Russian (Soviet, post-Soviet) card game
This probably explains where the provenance of the "games" lays
P.S. 10:04 Selectsoft seems to be still going, and they are in Romania
I remember that "pitch". Years after public domain software could no longer be sold on floppies, down to the smallest .exe file that did "something". :)
Do public domain games really exist!?
All you need is a 1 byte file with 0x00 in hexadecimal. Which is the CPU opcode for a no-op. If it was sheet music, it would be a rest.
I like that you used that "junk" laptop for another video again. Great to see old heroes back in action
I like to think that somewhere, at some point in time, a kid got this game, and found his own Game Maker games included in this.
Another game like 700,000 Games Jerma covered. Maybe the count each deal for solitaire as a "game"
You can't keep exposing publisher secrets like that. How else are they gonna sell these quality games?
Jerma985 did something very similar to this. Over half of the games didn’t work
I was just about to post this!!! If he were jerma he'd be so bugged out about getting a virus lol
That 2,002 games thing was the exact same one found in the 700,000 games collection. He even played the "Alien Space Shoot" games on that stream.
That game was barely playable even when it worked and it runs in a tiny window.
@@bigsmellbad1187this guy is way smarter than jerma tho
I love when a company gives themselves an award! #1 Game Collection!
On a related note, this is the #1 New Comment as voted by me.
Or the plain clear eyeglasses that claim to block blue light and you can prove it with the (rigged) test they provided for you which was a UV led which activated a UV card. (Blue light shines through the glasses in much the same way the Communications Decency Act flew through Congress in 1996.)
You know its bad when there's supposedly 155,000 games and one of the three they put on the package is a slot machine simulator. Seems legit.
This crapware makes Oregon Trail look like a programming masterpiece.
Well, the Oregon Trail is already a programing masterpiece
This is perfect material for the AVGN
Give it to the AVGN. He will make a candid for a future episode.
"This makes Action 52 games tolerable by comparison! Or Big Rigs a masterpiece! Even LJN didn't sink this low!" (takes an excrutiating sip from his Rolling Rock bottle)
Omg so true!!! He needs to do a video on this
This is exactly the sort of thing AVGN would do a video on!
Looks like someone (a teacher) collected all the students' projects and decided to make a coin.
That's an insult to the programming ability of children.
These definitely look like school projects from people learning to write code.
Rated “E” for “excruciating”...
At least with Action 52, the games were actually playable. This is just total throwaway folly.
The Suduko [sic] puzzles explain how they can cram 155,000 games. Each puzzle is a “game”. There are billions of combinations for Sudoku puzzles.
Edit: I checked, and mathematicians stated there are 6 sextillion (10 the the 21st power) combinations.
Unlimited entertainment.
But divide by four for rotated solutions. How many solutions could be reduced because of number substitutions (swap one to four pairs of digits throughout the puzzle or just roll the digits)? Suduko can be solved by pattern analysis rather quickly.
Are you all dyslexic? It SudOkU, not SudUkO
I had something called 5000 Games For PC (a more believable number) that came in a big box with multiple cd-roms, and I kinda loved it. It was just curated shareware but it introduced me to some classics like God of Thunder, the Hugo point and click games, Jill of the Jungle... I probably already had a PlayStation but I remember playing and really enjoying a dos port of the 1980 Atari game Adventure, the one where your dude is just a square. So it was kind of a primer for me on the history of computer entertainment, in how much ground it covered both in release date and varying level of quality.
It was probably also my first time grasping that games were made by ordinary people. Console games had credits, but these shareware games often had asides from the developer and felt very personal.
So over a million games have sold? Guess that means this collection has only sold at least 7 copies.
Holy moly I remember when you had 10k and now look at you congrats dude! I started watching you when I was a kid then school and life got in the way. You played a big part of my childhood and starting my interest in technology, thank you for years of content now I'm a IT specialist!
I love when Comic Sans is unironically used! It's hilarious
I was waiting for "You're Winner!" to pop up. After all its likely the same programmers that brought the world Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. I might have a copy of this somewhere. I recall my mother buying it for like $5 at Marshalls or something.
That Helicopter Game start had me cracking up... Start...Crash... Try Again!
This reminds me of the awful games you can find on "famiclone" consoles. Tons of broken games, hacked roms, and just plain bad NES games.
If you watch the Rarez gaming TH-cam channel he regularly does videos on bad NES and similar ripoff clone consoles which promise hundreds or even thousands of games built-on but typically achieve this by including simply repeating titles multiple times in the menu list of games such that they make say 50 titles look like 500 if your stupid enough not to notice the repeats. They include bad ports, poor mods of existing games like Mario unit awful Mario-like games, broken games that barely work if at all, and non working games. Even I. The best of circumstances the games typically don’t run at the right frame rate and or very sluggish as if they poorly ported the games to a different processor technology for this ripoff console rather then sticking with a modern clone of the original console hardware. You should check out his videos on the Nintendo Wii clones with awful attempts at copying of the Wii-mote/nunchuck controllers.
@@Charlesb88 There's a whole bunch of famiclones around in Japan with 88 games on them. Those 88 are at least functional and vaguely competent, some even slightly fun.
Jerma has a great video on this, so when I saw it in your thumbnail I had to click too!
That helicopter game is equivalent to Star Evil from Action 52
These games are so abysmal. But I love that you actually played them
I lost it at the helicopter game! Laughing so hard I spit out my dinner. LMAO. I love it when games are so stupid it's hilarious!
I have fond memories of these kind of games that my dad had on his old hard drive. I did not expect to see the exact same stuff to be in this video.
That pinball play area is something i could've made in scratch lmao, this is quality my man!
2:20 Look out for inconsistencies of game ratings there, you've one that says Everyone to Teen at the top, just Everyone at the bottom, and don't forget the E10+ rating in the front cover!
Looks like plenty of "swearware", though. While probably the least of every problem on that disc, Flash could produce standalone executable projectors.
Did there end up being a virus on the disc?
No virus detected, but I didn't install the whole thing.
3:43 I remembered playing most of these games from Arcade & Action, Puzzle & Board, Word & Brain, etc. as a young kid! Good times of early life that I wish I could relive.
6:30 One note XP marimba solo, that classic soundtrack for an application crapping out.
cat /dev/urandom >/dev/dsp
9:17
Oh do show us what happened to that install of XP afterwards.
this video is so 2000s
This is like that LCD game that Chris Chan got for his birthday in 1999. It claimed to have hundreds of games on it but in reality, it only really has about 10 or so games and they count every difficulty as a different game and all those games really are just shotty Tetris rip-offs.
My fiancée, she lost it when the helicopter kept falling, she was laughing so hard, she just couldn't stop like it was a huge out of no where boisterous belly laugh. Keep up the good work.
3:38 Holy crap! That looks like the first video game ever created, Space War from 1962. But now in color.
I have a Game Boy cartridge that says it has hundreds of games, but it really has six, and duplicates.
ITS A SERIES OF TUBES
6:21 "Durak" literally means fool on Russian
That’s the name of a Russian card game
@@ABCEasyas-- It is a fun card game that's pretty easy to learn. The gist is each player tries to get rid of their hand by "attacking" the next player. That next player must "defend" by playing a higher value card of the same suit, or a trump card. If they can't defend, they must take all cards they were attacked with. The last player with cards is the Durak, or fool.
Because probably all this stuff was coded by some Russian student for a piece of bread and sausage. (hint: bad translation from Russian to English and remnants of Russian text).
Hoping for some more Shareware Madness. :D
I knew i was going to be disappointed but i didn't knew i was going to be this disappointed.
The Action52 of the PC.
Reminds me of the nintendo game and watch clone, named "Throwback." It has 153 games, and many different games have the same gameplay but different textures/skins
Ah there is it. The PC-DVD version of "100000 million games in One" Game Boy Cartridge from the 90s ^_^ Which was the same 20 games spread across countless selection-menu pages and with slightly different names.
Shoutout to jerma's 700,000 games
I was laughing during the whole video!!! This is hilarious!!!
They should call it “155, 000 Games That You Can’t Play (if you can find them all)”!!!
vwestlife/jerma crossover when?
WHEN THE IMPOSTER IS VOLKSWAGEN 😬
I like how you sound so amused during the whole video. Also, congrats to YT for id'ing the game as Cassette 50, how fitting!
Watching this was the laugh I needed after a hard day lol
This is the PC version of Action 52!
very calm video game nerd
Life changing investigative reporting here.
Your video is awesome, I love when you bust those scam products :)
This is the funniest VWestlife episode xD
Attack helicopter falls out of the sky like a brick. 🤣🤣🤣
Aw man. This reminds me of one of the first CD-ROMs we had, which was called "500 Games!" and yeah, most of them were freeware or unregistered sharewares, but there was still dozens and dozens of titles to try out, including some read gems like Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem 1 and 2, and a whole bunch of early PC side scrolling shooters.
Makes me nostalgic on those X thousands games compilation from the 90's expect back then, it was quite a nice thing when internet was expensive and slow.
I remember they sold stuff like this at all the office supply stores: OfficeMax, staples, etc. I always wondered where they even came from
COMIC SANS!!!! xD
Finally! A worse sudoku solver than myself!
This is definitely one of the funniest videos I've watched in a long time
that's the kind of game i would have played on my first computer back when i was like 7yo, because i did not have internet connection
cant imagine the work of the person that had to manage all the folders on dvd tho
"Now you have a chance to show the world your skills as a helicopter pilot! Simply avoid"
Well at least they're honest 😂
This is something I haven't heard about for years now. My dad bought this for us sometime in the late 2000s along with another Viva Media release called "XP Championship 3333 Games". My parents literally wore out the jewel case sleeve for the latter with its solitaire collection and how much they had to pull the CD for it. I have vivid memories of the games in that 2002 games collection, shame about the flash situation there. Guess its true target demographics are elementary school kids and people in their 50s? Ah well, still a surprising but welcome blast from the past.
Cool video as usual, I did some math and in kB a single layer dvd is 4.812.800 so divide that between the "155.000 games" comes out at 31.05kB assuming I did everything correctly. So each game can at most be 31kB.
Ahh These are of the type of games in which these turbid companies commanded the shelves of super markets and musical disk houses and software.
I remember in 2001, when we were with my dad in Musimundo (a popular house in Argentina that sold, and sells all kinds of articles as books, CDs of various types, appliances, computer supplies, etc), he saw on a shelf, in Where there were discs of PC games, one very similar to this one, in an acrylic box.
At first glance it seemed to look good, but when we get home and insert it into the CD reader of the PC, my happiness went on the soil.
They were written games in MS-DOS, but bad, and very unplabable. They did not have sound effects, or if they had it, they were scarce, and some had irritating music that reproduced by the small loudspeaker who had the case (that makes the beeps when the PC turns on).
The next day my old man goes back to the place, and returns that fucking CD.
I laughed way too hard at the helicopter game
Well Kev, if you weren't really much of a gamer before, i doubt this disc will make you wanna become one :P
If this disc was with 155.000 web flash games.
My parents used to have that same exact laptop! Oh wait, you made a video on this a few years ago
What?!?! Not a single Strong Bad game!?!? OUTRAGEOUS!
I remember buying about 5 or 6 of these in the $1 bin at a Walmart back when I was still using a Windows XP computer.
I tried loading them and my antivirus/malware/firewall wouldn't load the discs. So I threw them all away except the 101 Atari games. That one was legitimate. So I just wrote it off as the "101 Atari Games" was a $5 or $6 game disc.
Oh man the helicopter bit had me in stitches - seriously you laughed and it helped but for real - Your tone about it and its title - FALLS DEAD - LOL yup - heck the AVGN would have a field day with some of these lol!
Every copy of 155,000 Games is personalized
The best video from this channel. I had so much laughter 😂. Please make a follow-up
There are a few truly great hits in here. Like three or four total bangers. They are in the 1500 bundle.
the sequel of 70,000 games lmao
There's odd numbered carts, such as '888' '999999' '100000' in one carts for the NES, SNES, and the DS.
It repeats the games on that list over and over.
Holy moly I lost it when you started playing “Helicopter.”
Crap games but WAY fun video! Thanks
I think the most impressive thing about the video is that you have a working dv5000 pavilion!
I wonder what the Angry Video Game Nerd would think of this, since he hated Action 52 so much.
Check the description, as TH-cam thought you were doing a video about "Cassette 50"!
Ah, I knew it, just like the NES multicarts, each variation / level / puzzle was counted as a separate game.
I admit, though, that I want to find a copy of this and run it in an XP VM or something and see more of the crap on it.
Found it available new on eBay for about $7.40 including shipping. Might get it just for the amusement, and maybe put it on archive.org.
I absolutely died when you sped up the audio. Haha 🤣
No shareware or freeware. All shovelware.
Rated "E" for error messages.
> "now, i'm not a big gamer or anything"
> literally owns 155,000 games
this is like action 52 for pc
And many of those games have the Star Evil syndrome where you die as soon as you press start.
