My nervous system can’t tell the different between seeing a dead body and seeing battery acid having leaked on any of my precious electronics.
Ahh so this is the Odyssey everyone has been talking about lately.
1:49 I’m really glad that didn’t turn into a contrived ad for some phone service lol.
imagine if the English input stuck around and became a standard for games so along with common buttons like Start and Select you'll still have an English axis
0:12 Half expected a Chris Boden-style _"this_ fucking thing" in that moment. 😂
52:52 flamflummery is supposed to be a hint to the answer (the capital of Alabama is Montgomery). Also if you’re curious the airport one is Chicago O’Hare. It was the busiest airport in the world until 1998, and it still ranks top 5.
As soon as I saw that energizer logo, I had a flashback to the battery in the back of my Macintosh Plus that exploded and destroyed half the analog board...
41:47 "The SUBMARINE CAPTAIN reloads his torpedoes by pressing the CONVOY COMMANDER's reset button" it's right there, James
Him touching the batteries with his bare hands made me wince
nice, james bought the console equivalent of "Ran when parked 15 years ago"
2:36 Alternate universe where we still call them “Closed circuit electronic playgrounds”.
It is crazy what the did in the 70s
Sir James, would it be possible for you to make a video on the Jaguar or neo geo pocket? I know they aren't like the most "niche" consoles but I still feel like they deserve some recognition 🙂
This guy knows DAMN well when I'm eating. I literally JUST clicked on YouTube and I saw this 43 seconds ago.
30:29 is giving me Vietnam-style flashbacks to working on old tube radios. Those white paper caps are NOT supposed to look like that lol
10:21, that Energizer logo was from 1980 to 1987, according to a quick google search. Those are some _old_ batteries. lol, a minute later and you had the exact image.
The reason the plastics are holding up so well is because there's likely a much higher percentage of petroleum in the plastics than most newer (still old) plastics.
I'm amazed there was no comment on all of those untrimmed leads on the daughter boards. This thing may have been groundbreaking but man was it cheaply made! Though it has survived for a while
If he were born 30 years earlier James would totally be at home appliance repairman
Wade when leaky batteries: gloves, loud disgust, avoids all contact James when leaky batteries: gets all up in there and touches the mystery web of doom with his bare fingers
