Hello and welcome to another episode of Game Reviews by James.
Today I'm going to be reviewing the TV MegaMax by Jungletac.
It's one of those games you plug into your TV and play.
And why would you want to play any of these systems when you have a plug and play game?
The first thing I notice is how strange these video cables are,
Usually video cables look like this or a coaxial like this.
These just kind of look like headphone cables.
I don't know if that's normal or not,
but I got them to work.
So apparently this is one of those plugin games that has you know
multiple games on it.
since there's thirty games i guess what i'll do is go through and look at each
one of them and maybe spend
you know thirty seconds to a minute on each one
so let's get started.
The first game is called Runner Car.
In this game all you are doing is going forward and driving,
avoiding obstacles, collecting fuel and money.
The control is awful.
The music will drive you nuts. It's the most annoying and repetitive thing your
ears will ever have the displeasure of hearing.
Finally it's worth noting just how unclear the scoring system is.
Am I trying to collect fuel? Money? Or am I just trying to get to the end of the
stage?
Either way, it isn't explained well at all.
I'm done with this game.
Game number two
Motor Rally.
In this game control a motorcyclist in a 3d type environment, avoiding
other motorcycles and roadblocks.
What is odd is that once you hit obstacles, you just stop dead in your tracks.
You're going like a hundred kilometers an hour! You would fly off your bike at that speed and you would
likely die!
I realize this is just a game but this bothers me.
Oh well, this game isn't worth losing any sleep over any way.
Let's move on.
Game number three; Ocean Quest.
Much like the previous two games, you take control of a vehicle and you're trying to
avoid obstacles.
You are just a boat flying past other boats and avoiding getting hit.
Why is this called ocean quest? It should be called river quest or something.
You don't really look like you're in the ocean.
Oh well. It's not a bad game, it's just boring as hell.
Next game.
Number four
The Last Cabra
or Last Cabra.
Well in this game you are a fighter plane gunning down other planes
it's insanely easy too
but it's pretty fun.
Enemies spawn at the bottom of the screen which make it hard to play sometimes
but it's not a bad game. It even has a few boss battles.
So far it's the best game I've played on this.
Number five: Aero Engine.
It's just like the Last Cabra except you are oriented sideways.
Once again it isn't a bad game
well if you're on the NES.
there isn't a whole lot to say about this game.
It's just a basic space shooter.
Overall though it's a decent addition.
Number six:
Insect Chase.
This game is terrible.
You control a next, trying to catch bugs. But the control is so *** poor that you
can't even come close to catching anything.
I caught a few just because I had good luck.
But I mean I'm trying my best here. This controllers sucks too.
the buttons are loose, the joystick feels like it's broken.
Overall, it's makes playing this
bug catch game less than ideal. This is probably the worst game so far.
Game number seven,
Pinball Track.
You are a marble,
or a pinball I guess rolling around a bunch of tubes.
And what? That's a hole?
It's barely visible and matches the black background!
And really what's with the title?
This has nothing to do with pinball.
Oh well. I'm done with this and I'm moving on.
Game number eight:
Birdie Nest.
This is probably the most interesting game I played so far,
You're a hand catching eggs and what the heck?
Bird crap! It's bird crap!
So you are a hand trying to catch eggs and avoid giant coils of *** that the
bird is laying all while holding it up with a dotted line.
Man, why was that so hard to say with a straight face?
What are holding the bird with? The force? What is this like Master Yoda?
Well I feel awkward playing this so I'm moving on to the next game.
Game number nine:
Bingo Zap.
Wow, this is probably the easiest video game ever made.
All you do is move the ball to the whole with the flashing light
and you win. That's it.
Okay, next game.
Number ten, Spin Ball.
Huh, the ball looks kind of like a square to me.
All you have to do is collect money as you move across a railroad track looking thing
I don't know i'm just calling it as I see it
then you go to the end of the level
it's uh
pretty boring if you ask me.
next game.
Number eleven
Star Ally.
Yeah, here we have another space shooter.
While it isn't all that bad,
We already had a nearly identical space shooter on this thing.
I mean, is it really necessary to have another one?
For what it is,
it's a pretty decent game.
At least compared to some of the other crap on this plug and play.
All I can say is that it's a space shooter.
Let's move on.
Number twelve
Valiant Rescue.
Well, Valiant Rescue is actually the exact same as Star Ally
except you control a bug.
Who's like spitting at other bugs to kill them.
I'm just using my imagination here.
Except this game legitimately sucks *** I mean your weapon range is terrible.
And really it doesn't hold a candle stick to the other space shooters on this TV
MegaMax
and that's really saying something.
Number thirteen: Zero Tiger.
Zero Tiger is yet another shooter game. What is that?
Three in a row?
Four total so far?
I haven't even played half of the games yet.
What can I say?
It's not bad but I find it highly unnecessary.
Number fourteen: Bolt Fighter.
Crap that's four in a row!
Of like the exact same game with different graphics!
Was that all they knew how to develop? Well I'm not waisting my time with this. Next game.
Number fifteen: Dragon Fire
in this game,
you're what appears to be a green worm
who is trying its
darndest to try and collect fire
and the control such big fat ones.
This game is pretty awful
at least it's not another
flying shooting game.
Number sixteen
excel racing.
Ooh a racing game.
this,
this, this is bad. I mean why call it racing if you don't actually race?
What the hell is the point?
You're a very tiny car trying to avoid other cars almost like Pac-Man.
This isn't racing though. They should have called it Pac-Car or something.
How much worse can these games get?
The control is bad on this one too.
Well I'm not waisting naymore time with this crap.
Next!
Up next
Bump Car.
You even get to select your character.
I think I'll be this fuzzy headed boy here.
All right let's play some bumper cars. weight with what is this
scrap
you're just moving forward collecting stuff
in what the heck is even the point of having to character select screen on the
game like this
orwell would have expectantly
bunker
we should've called this escorts
your weekend balloons falling
ruth phoned visiting puzzle game
it's pretty fun i guess weather
why the title move fun
number nineteen
p_p_ race
g_p_ races another motorcycle came
that's not bad it's actually pretty fun
the control is good
may even get the crashes right this time
pretty good game
sometime
number twenty
space castle this is a clone of space invaders are spacer ma tommy television
potentially pretty good game said it seems like you're spaceship is a middle
finger pointing up into the sky
since it's a clone of a good game
can't really say anything too bad about it
overall
pretty decent
number twenty one all true doggie
this game you control what china metal dog and i guess it's about the size of a
car
and employees catholic frog radius
this game is not very good good just let me say that
control stiffness religious come up for him
tolar is really to say about this one
number twenty two
elf point
this game is actually pretty far
kinda reminds me of the original mario perot's for the arcade machines
controller goes through a straw hat
your goal is to change color to cure the ills that match it
to prove the most original came on this whole thing
and the most fun as far as i'm concerned
what the heck with a smoker when they came up with this
full well that this one slide since it is pretty darn fun
number twenty-three jewel master
this is yet another puzzle game kinda like dr mario
no overall it's not that bad
just seems that the puzzle games have been a lot better so far
well that's pretty much artists about this one
king
the berkeley four
see war
this game
which is it's a very very bad
he controlled battleship dropping bombs and other ships and that's it
hearing is very hard a time to
tomoz games you play for like thirty seconds then you're done because it
sucks so bad
well let's move on
next up we have catch the h
this game you were hand holding a frying pan am trying to catch eggs and avoid
bombs
but there's just one little problem
produce controls for the novel
kept the control buttons softly but the controls so sensitive that is for the
kids beds four bombs use ms everything
this sucks
extra priya became known as darci intrigued
this game you are trying to shoot down point pigeons and it is nearly
impossible
game just kinda controls itself
and you just sit there with looking like a retard trying to find out what the
hell is going on
wife
why is this game called our champion
has nothing to do with darts shooting the rifle for crying out loud
jeez what weeds
uh...
number twenty seven
pagemaster
well this game is certainly uh... unique
control of pink blob
and i guess what you're trying to do is take the floor green and try not to get
caught
it's like reversed pacman digest
and to be fair it really isn't all that bad
well i guess it's not bad by the standards of a mega man x at least
next game
number twenty eight
fish catcher
who are split on the jack-in-the-box concurrently one portion of
word-for-word bills
plan to control
the backround hurt your eyes after while
a plague worst
but man it's just born as heck
don't really know what that what else there is to say about it
uh...
next game
number twenty nine smartest ski
dole in the penguin
on this game you were a little pain when walking around the clicking on it
europe could blow bubbles to defend yourself to yes
not even a bother criticizing the title either
yet may not make sense but would like year avoid out one game left
and the last and final game
number thirty
is wise in
this is yet another puzzle game
i failed to ever get to work properly
means you select a stage and then nothing after that you can't write every
thought nothing more ever happen
just doesn't work at all
i'm sure would be fun to it looks like a proposal being reelected together pieces
to uh... to solve it
but this is just a fitting end to the crash test that is a jumble tech made a
max thirteen one plug-and-play
it's really not worth your time money
and who's ever even heard of this thing anyway
