I remember a weird bit of lore in the US between the Action Max and the Nintendo's Mario/Duck Hunt bundle. Before the release of the Action Max wow ran a ill fated teaser advertisement campaign. The campaign didn't say what it was for but a coming soon with the kid from the box(of both the action max system and the vhs games) cover with the gray light gun and a pure bright white screen. Nintendo did a big push to get the Action Bundle out since the original gray Zapper looked similar enough to the Action Max's gun. Most people just assumed that the teaser advertisements for the Action Max were for the new NES bundle. By the time the Action Max revealed advertisements, they were head to head with Nintendo's Action Bundle adverts.
I had just about every console as a kid except for Neo Geo and Sega Cd and my grandpa picked up an Action Max at a yardsale for like 5$ and the air combat and Pop's Ghostly vhs. It reminded me of the old Captain Power tos and vhs that you used the toy to "shoot" the light square superimposed over the enemy graphic and it just counted points. It was dumb distracting fun a couple of times and just to see the cool but cheap production values on the ghost video(it did have creepy fun music), ah this brings back the memories!
@@TheLairdsLair Yeah I was thinking Alf and Inspector Gadget came out after 1983 - 4 when Atari computer division was no longer run by Wanner! You had me searching on you tube for game play of those games :)

Interesting story!
Ah more obscure consoles to look out for for my collection
The only true genre for the Action Max was just FMV light gun games for any VHS VCR, and really low-budget lame ones at best. (7:39)
What would happen if Majin Buu and Galactus absorbed each other at the same time they would become Majin Galactus

I'm surprised there wasn't any 8-bit computers that used video tapes instead of cassette tapes, could have been interesting.
@22 Do those games exist on the 2600 Alf, Inspector Gadget, Transformers ETC
Well spotted! They are just mock-ups sadly.
