    The Action Max was made by Worlds of Wonder and released in 1987. It was an obscure video game console that used VHS tapes as its games! You had to own a VCR to play the tapes. And it came with a light gun (similar to the NES Zapper). There were only five games released for the system. Blue Thunder, Hydrosub: 2021, Sonic Fury, 38 Ambush Alley and The Rescue of Pops Ghostly! Watch as we try out one of the most over looked video game consoles of all time! The Action Max!

      Rather late to the party here but this puts me in mind of the Captain Power series of VHS and even a show for a while that used the jets as light guns. Though in that it was always flashing red is target and flashing yellow was damage.

  • @ConsoleCleric
    @ConsoleCleric Před 10 lety +37

    I used to have an Action Max when I was a kid. I used to cheat by shooting at the flashing circle in the bottom right corner (the one the sensor was placed over). Shooting that target would result in a hit that scored you points!
    One interesting element that was overlooked in this video is the flashing circles over the good guys (Pops Ghostly and family or the unarmed dummies in .38 Ambush Alley); those would deduct you points from your score if shot at.

      Hey, I didn't know what it was, either. That doesn't mean I'm old-school only (though I do love a lot of old-school games), it's just that I've never really gotten into Xbox at all. For me, Playstation does everything Xbox can do, except it does it more to my liking, Nintendo has the greatest number of exclusive titles that I love, and the computer fills in any gaps left over. There's never been a need for Xbox. ^^

    There was a TV show around that same time, "Captain Power", that used the same concept. The toy was a space ship that also acted as a light gun. You could shoot on the ships on the screen, but they could shoot back, so you had to point the ship away to break line of sight. After enough hits, your pilot ejected and the game was over.

    This reminded me that there were a couple of attempts at using VHS/Betamax tapes for actual video game consoles, since they offered a lot more storage space than the early cartridges and could scan from one section to the next relatively fast, sort of like a smaller reel-to-reel magnetic tape. I think they all flopped in the prototype stage due to the huge production costs, since VHS players were still an expensive item at the time.

    the phrase "evolved from monkeys" or "evolved from apes" is misleading, really. the way you said "ape-like creatures" is more accurate, since there's a common ancestor which diverged. current monkeys are best evolved to their habitat, while humans evolved to a different one, and so happened to have traits that made adaptability the key Human Thing, leading to spreading all over the world.

      to elaborate, bigger brains led to more ingenuity.
      instead of evolving more enzymes to break down different kinds of meat, we evolved cooking.
      instead of evolving thicker skins or more fat for colder climates, we invented coats.
      we evolved enzymes to deal with dairy products after farming became a thing, people were allergic before - and about half of people still are, at least slightly. ever had a phlegmy throat after a glass of milk or a chocolate bar? that's a vestige of this allergy all people once had, and it used to be worse.

    • @ExtremeMadnessX
      @ExtremeMadnessX Před 10 lety

      zlocish No, my classification is correct, we are apes (Superfamily: Hominoidea; for some reason, Superfamily is unlisted, also unlisted in other classifications of other species), and chimpanzees (and bonobos) are our closest living relatives, we share a common ancestor with only chimpanzees and bonobos (we are in the same Family: Hominidae). We are genetically much closer to chimpanzees than gorillas are. Any attempt to separate humans from apes is artificial, forced and ignores scientific facts based on genetics and anatomy.

    Light guns do not work on LCD TV's. They only work on old CRT's, because they work by reading the CRT scan lines (via a sensor in the "gun"). These scan lines cannot be perceived by the human eye because they are too fast, but they are very very easy for a camera to see. This is the same effect that makes CRT's look weird when filmed. LCD's don't have these because they don't have a refresh rate. So the "gun" just sees nothing as if the TV were off if you try to use it with an LCD.

    One of my favorite TV shows growing up has an intro theme I'll never forget. See if you recognize it:
    Love and marriage, love and marriage
    Go together like a horse and carriage
    This I tell you brother
    You can't have one without the other
    Love and marriage, love and marriage
    *CHHHK*

      Joseph Waddell Ah yes, Married with Children. I watch that every night on TBS before I head to bed. Great show, it just isn't the same seeing Ed O' Neil's acting in Modern Family... you're just expecting him to be a nasty & crude, yet memorable man... but nope.

    During the first game, all I could think about was how cool it was that they were playing Nine Inch Nails.

    "Well huh, sure you don't wanna play Xbox One?"
    "Nah"
    Sums up my opinion on this console.

      You might as well throw in the PS4 while you're at it. ;)

    you COULD film a "homebrew" Action Max tape since like I said - they all use the same pattern for the targets. Just make it sync up and you can have an AVGN Action Max game
