One time I saw that "Pirahnaman" game in a store, except it was called Munchtime. I said to myself "This totally isn't a Pac-Man ripoff" and the cashier said "YOU'RE RIGHT! ITS MUNCHTIME!"
"Clothes don't provide the same amount of beepy confusion." Now that's just not true, as evidenced by Ashens' very review of the christmas musical necktie.
@Ghost_Of_SAS Nice profile picture you got there, lemme guess, it’s the Psygnosis logo? (The same people who brought you Puggsy, Shadow of the Beast and Legend of Galahad/Leander. Oh, and also Lemmings.)
I like how "Cool Eye King" is making the exact face you should be making if you bought a Pop Station. Crying, comedic look of disbelief, and slapping the side of his head.
i remember these in the shop when i was younger. im glad my parents were smart enough to tell me no because they were WAY too expensive for what they were
50 years later... breaking news! the pop station just caught up with gameboy color while nintendo and sony just invented technology to physically bring video games into the real world!
Ely Aksu Thank you! I paused the video and hummed it back to myself repeatedly trying to remember where it was from! I think I never because I only ever listen to number 4 lol
No it wasn't, it's a worthless gimmick that adds nothing to the experience and just makes the device more prone to breaking. Although the latter may not be a bad thing, considering the quality of the games.
+Protected Gaming It's a joke about how IGN misrates things. also, it propably was a referance to 9/11, which is accurate, because the console is a tragedy.
back in 1998 or 99 my dad bought me something similar to a popstation in toysrus. it had like 50 games on it, yes the games were on the handheld, you didnt need to change the screen since it was based on pixels. one of the games was quite a nice version of Tetris and it had a compartment under the screen with some candy in it... that thing was like 5 bucks back in 99... so why on earth are the cheap handheld games 15 years later 15 times worse ? seriously i would love to find one of these again but iam not even sure what to google
Man these are sad. I remember I had something like this when I was young, except it had like 120 games on it, and they were all actually pretty good. It'd be cool to see him review one like that.
8:53 SER AND SPACEFIGHTING, ser in polish, means cheese, so it means... ahem... Cheese and Spacefighting... For what i know these things don't go good together.
I had something a lot like the first one back in the day. The console itself was actually really different, with a big square bit as the base and the games were actually separate cartridge type things with the screen on them that you'd slot into the center. The controller was actually externally attached via a little cable too. In fact there were two controllers and I think all three of the games had multiplayer.
FINALLY!!!! when was the last time Ashens made a PopStation video. PopStations are the reason why Ashens is so funny. I also enjoy his blind bag and his Poundland specials but, nothing can beat the incredible powers of PopStation tat.
the reason its from a clothing company, nowadays when you buy clothes for children, like 5-8 years old, shirts come with a piece of shit toy most being pop stations
That reminds me, looking at the Gamze, I had an old Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) controller where the joypad was at a 45 degree angle, resembling an x instead of a +. Presumably this was to make it more 'comfortable' for the way the left thumb rests, but without up pointing up it was just confusing!
I used to have a pop station called "6 in one amazing games!" or something like that. he games included American football, Football, Baseball, racing, and others that I forget the names of. I will send them in if I can ever find them at a dollar store somewhere.
Weird, the "cool eye king" one appeared to be Japanese, judging by the Katakana on the packaging reading "Figure". That's really bizarre considering it's usually china producing these, due to Japan's strict copyright holdings... However judging by the equally bizarre product, copyright isn't a probably isn't much of a worry in this situation.
Sad to think that someone somewhere actually put effort into the cases at least. All for the same old crap. Even more sad to think some kid will be given one of these.
If ever Ashens becomes super rich and famous, he absolutely NEEDS to give us the video game adaptation the world has been waiting for; SUBMARINE INVASION- THE MOVIE.
The Cool Eye King character reminds me of when DC made Bizarro versions of the other members of the Justice League, like Batzarro, Flashzarro, Yellow Lantern, etc. Cool Eye King looks like some horrible Bizarro Wolverine even though Wolverine isn't DC
This is going to sound crazy, but I think the powerup in the pacman ripoff may be lifted from one of the pickups in Tankpit, or Bonus.com's battlezone if you're from those days. The little rectangle with the stripes on it that would give you goodies if you clicked it. I think it has the same design and letter in the middle.
That submarine game is actually Fortress Guardian (the one on the Neo Double Games); they've just put submarine graphics on it... still doesn't explain the music lol
I absolutely _love_ LCD games from the 80s & early 90s, but in this day & age, LCD games should be *banned.* They are so fucking archaic it's not funny. Well, it _is_ funny, actually, but only as fodder for Ashens to make fun of. The fact that they keep making these things indicates that people must be buying them enough to warrant constant repackaging of the same crappy games over & over, but I cannot comprehend why. Couldn't even spell "on" correctly. XD
i got one of those for my nephew, thinking it was a portable xbox 4 or whatever they are called. it was his birthday. the little shit threw it in my face after he played it!
From the gamze website: At the beginning of your tanks are equipped with a crew and no additional action is required to start fighting. But if you sold one tank, and the crew landed at the barracks, when buying a new tank, you can put there the crew of their barracks.
Now that Capcom has lost rights to marvel characters and are taking down marvel vs Capcom 2/3 from PSN; I expect Disney will find a new company to do marvel fighting games and we will soon see "Marvel vs CityFighter Amazing!"
Wow, amazing 8bit sound and graphics. I am going to trash and forget about PS4, computers and tablets and rush out to the nearest retail outlet and purchase a POP station (not). Fun for the whole family (but not for the under 3 years old - too much excitement for the wee kiddies)!
Everyone talkin' about Gamzee and missing a waaaaaaaay more obvious Homestuck reference, so i'm going to make it here: 12:16 S9 MUCH T9 D9 S9 MUCH T9 SEE S9 MUCH T9 D9 S9 MUCH T9 SEE S9 MUCH T9 D9 S9 MUCH T9 SEE
Serana You really shouldn't use autistic as an insult, it makes you look small minded that you have to resort to neurological disorders to insult people.
Ashens really does like torturing himself with these pop stations, to be quite honest there is really absolutely no point reviewing these things because it's the same shit over and over only with different designs....but then again, Ashens would not be Ashens without reviewing them so oh well.....
I do have a genuine question. How do they change the game logic when you insert a different cartridge? I cannot see any kind of connectors or wires that connect with the "display" that is interchangeable acting as game cards.
Ashens, you should always include the first time unboxing/unpackaging in your vids, it tends to make for a more holesome entertainment, I think. You often just have the thing you review out of the package and ready to go for camera, and you tell us about something funny that happened while you unpacked it or turned it on for the first time. We wanna see that happen on camera, just like it did now it's great slapstick.
Every single POP station review has the sentence "where people pull their arms off and throw them at each other"
The SektorZ Because it´s true...
The SektorZ unfortunately doing this in real life is at least 10x funner than it is in the pop station.
Tomas Smith i stand corrected
guess i should have checked before agreeing but i don't care enough
do you want to have a go on my WLL
One time I saw that "Pirahnaman" game in a store, except it was called Munchtime. I said to myself "This totally isn't a Pac-Man ripoff" and the cashier said "YOU'RE RIGHT! ITS MUNCHTIME!"
Pacman's a ripoff of Munchtime, we all know this
Itachi Uchiha True.
R.I.P Itachi Uchiha, her comment is gone, almost as if her account was gone. We all will miss her/him dearly.
"Clothes don't provide the same amount of beepy confusion." Now that's just not true, as evidenced by Ashens' very review of the christmas musical necktie.
I'm still waiting for the very first Popstation tie, so people can annoy and confuse others at formal events as well
Serana Oh my god, patent it before they do.
***** They already are in Korea
+Duncan Burden POE JEDI TJ Maxx is also in UK.
@Ghost_Of_SAS Nice profile picture you got there, lemme guess, it’s the Psygnosis logo?

Cool eye king= Hawkeye having a stroke
John Le Moignan Then what the hell are you doing watching ashens
I don't really care
whut
Psycho Mantis Um, yes?
he looks like blob from xmen wearing a hawkeye mask
I like how "Cool Eye King" is making the exact face you should be making if you bought a Pop Station. Crying, comedic look of disbelief, and slapping the side of his head.
From everyone listening on headphones, I want to thank you for the intro. My brain is now pudding.
Flick You want to thank everyone listening on headphones for the intro? or are you thanking on behalf of then?
Callum Ray Maybe I should have said, "On behalf of everyone wearing headphones..."
+Flick I think this every time I hear this intro. Really is just horrible. I get the impression he did it on purpose.
And from everyone who was asleep with ashens' videos playing on the tv
@@Kony420 "from" and "you" should've indicated that, genius.
"Hello my honey, hello my baby, hello my ragtime gal!" is now stuck in my head thanks to this.
"As long as evil lurks in the hearts of men there will be Popstations" quoute I want printed on a shirt!
i remember these in the shop when i was younger. im glad my parents were smart enough to tell me no because they were WAY too expensive for what they were
Is your username a reference to the Madness Combat series? I'm super terribly sorry if it isn't.

yup. Glad someone finally got it
Yay!
Siren during the intro scared the absolute fuck out of me :)
AKfluffyguy yeah, it'll do that to you.
50 years later... breaking news! the pop station just caught up with gameboy color while nintendo and sony just invented technology to physically bring video games into the real world!
The sad thing is by then the bootleggers will be releasing VR procedurally generated rougelikes.

Please, Sony won't be inventing anything that good anytime soon.
clonecam117 The Filthy Casual The Playstation VR looks pretty impressive.

@@freddiegardner4776 I need this now if not sooner
That intro scared me. I was watching at 1:42AM and had to turn down
I tell you what, if it's city fighter I'm immediately ejecting. *3 seconds later* *EJECTS*
The "Cool Eye King" appears to be suffering a stroke.
Considering the crap that goes into his body, this isn't too much of a surprise.
Exactly he has all of the key signs.
His "cool eye" is the one that was left intact after the agony of being fused with a controller caused his massive stroke.
+Bread Canful ha funny joke
i love that your content has not changed in years, it worked and continues to work, although, i wish we got more facetime, like the good ol' days.
that submarine music is actually the intro of Paganini's Caprice No. 24
Ely Aksu Thank you! I paused the video and hummed it back to myself repeatedly trying to remember where it was from! I think I never because I only ever listen to number 4 lol
Rémy Miller you're welcome ;-)
My god I cannot stop laughing with the disgusted/dying Batman-Wolverine thing. It's like he's VERY upset of being there and saying NO-OFF.
"Welcome to Air Force One!"
Not something Harrison Ford might say...
would have loved those Pop Stations.... in 1983
The way the Gamze thing spun around was actually kind of cool
Actually, it was storm drain
I swear I see you or someone with a Kirby Lenny profile pic on all of Ashens vids
No it wasn't, it's a worthless gimmick that adds nothing to the experience and just makes the device more prone to breaking. Although the latter may not be a bad thing, considering the quality of the games.
"Cool Eye King is the console of the decade. 9/11" - IGN
+Thndrstrike Um.... is the rating intentional or accidental? Also do you mean 9 - 11:)
+Protected Gaming It's a joke about how IGN misrates things. also, it propably was a referance to 9/11, which is accurate, because the console is a tragedy.

***** i was just trying to help u jeez
The year is 2013, late 2013. And yet, we still have these things being made. It's simply amazing.
"I thought if I told a lie, it would come true."
Story of my life.
Clearly his retinas melted after seeing Street Overlord for the fifty thounsandth time. Bloody Hell that Game is overused!
There are approximately eleventy bajillion identical copies of it on POP Stations.
I laughed my bloody bum off when that "Cool Eye Kind" thing fell apart
Hey. Just wanted to say, I loved Ashens and The Quest for The Game Child. Thank you for making it free to watch!
Ashens, making my life more interesting since 2011 (sadly I haven't watched his videos since 2006)
It's a crying Superhero. What's the matter, Superhero?
Only Ashens can release a movie one week, and the next be reviewing pop-stations on an old brown sofa.
The "cool eye king" looks like he's having a stroke.
From playing too many popstations
Piranhaman Submarine Kung Fu actually sounds like a game i could get into. that said i've had three pints already.
Cool eye king should go on the shelf of interesting items.
Man these are sad.
I remember I had something like this when I was young, except it had like 120 games on it, and they were all actually pretty good. It'd be cool to see him review one like that.
Why did I only find this guy now, he's hilarious

I live near that postcode..VERY near..so I shall go and burn down their gamzes lol
The two notes in the middle of him playing the city fighter. They made my day.
NEXT WEEK: CAPCOM VS. THAT WOMAN FROM THE GROCERIES
FINALLY!!!! when was the last time Ashens made a PopStation video. PopStations are the reason why Ashens is so funny. I also enjoy his blind bag and his Poundland specials but, nothing can beat the incredible powers of PopStation tat.
I honestly have to ask, how do these things even exist? is there a market for this? who buys this stuff besides ashens? xD
The market is entirely review TH-camrs.
And sweet old grannies buying them for grandchildren
Kurt Cobain No wonder you blew your fave off with a shotgun
Toool Ashens is the market.
Toool Well some idiot remembered the tiger hand held games that were crap and went THAT'S WHAT KIDS WANT!
The cool eye king has shattered before we even begun!
Next week: Capcom Versus That Lady at the Grocers.
Still better than Halo 4.
I like the dutch typings on that package "You're holding three fantastic BEAUTIFUL games in your hand" ..
wtf, that's Hawkeye
Your film are beautiful! Good job Ashens!
the reason its from a clothing company, nowadays when you buy clothes for children, like 5-8 years old, shirts come with a piece of shit toy most being pop stations
Pat Gencarelli yeah or rc vehicles
Wh....at?

Anyone else wondering if PopStation games are interchangeable?
Nope.
'City Fighter!'
*mario music*
'Or not!'
3:27 I couldn't stop laughing when the music started
I know that too well 😂
Why isn't this on the pop station playlist?
Idk?
I used to have a pop station called "6 in one amazing games!" or something like that. he games included American football, Football, Baseball, racing, and others that I forget the names of. I will send them in if I can ever find them at a dollar store somewhere.

I love your popstation reviews. And your movie was excellent. I'm watching it again because it was so good the first time.
The intro to the Popstation videos oddly reminds me of Inspector Gadget for some strange reason.

ryan bennett Until your brother realizes you're serious.
@@tanner5928 That controller also looks a bit like Wolverine.
@@MrCreepyKitty Maybe you just haven't been eating enough brown bricks.
To activate the gateway to the abyss... um, I mean the unit, press the "NO/OFF" button.
I just noticed that it says "No/off" even the game doesn't want you to play
well done for quoting ashens, you win... uh... *reaches into pockets* 53p and a random reciept!
Before today, I hadn't watched an Ashens video in six years. I am so glad he still review crap like this. :D I have catching up to do.
Sad to think that someone somewhere actually put effort into the cases at least. All for the same old crap. Even more sad to think some kid will be given one of these.

hOnK :o)
I just realized, you started reviewing these pop stations when I was a sophomore in high school.
I graduated three years ago.
isnt it meant to be Hawkeye?
That is what I thought!
Imagine your nan telling you she got you a Nintendo for christmas and you rip open the packaging to find one of these abominations 😂
I'm surprised there aren't a bunch of Homestuck comments here about Gamzee.
Just a few. Apparently homestuck fans don't really watch Ashen.
It is nice to see that falling into a large hole inside of Knightmare will land you into an online movie that ends with you back on your brown couch.

My god ashens how can you waste your time playing these games. You are a good person doing this for us.
It is official, the pop station has worse graphics than the game and watch, the pop station also has worse controls.
You expected it to be better?
Wow, amazing 8bit sound and graphics. I am going to trash and forget about PS4, computers and tablets and rush out to the nearest retail outlet and purchase a POP station (not).

Mr. Pia, YOU are the real MVP.
I do have a genuine question.
How do they change the game logic when you insert a different cartridge? I cannot see any kind of connectors or wires that connect with the "display" that is interchangeable acting as game cards.
Being a somewhat musical person, all the off key notes played by that pop station bothered me lol
I totally lost my shit when he was reading the instruction to "Foot Ball" lmao!
**insert blatant homestuck reference here**
Something about watching you review tat gives me so much entertainment, good on you.
They have went more and more creative with these over past years in terms of design....
