They were legit geniuses and this is literally the best they could make.

This brought back a lot of memories and makes me appreciate my PS4. I saw all the games and the progression of gaming from pong to Battlefield 4. I still miss arcades and pinball though... Kids nowadays miss out on the group aspect of a bunch of kids standing around a new game just waiting for room to put a quarter up in line. All captivated! Of course though I've made some great friends from around the world online gaming so it's a good trade off. Shit, if terrorists want to plot stuff and probably not be caught they should just be gamers. NSA is too busy with computers, cell phones, and such. Anyway, great video Conan!!!!!

I still see some Atari games and go "Okay, I need a 'legend' to tell me what this is and that is". For me, gaming Magic didn't really start till NES/SNES era, where things started to become noticeable as shapes(while still leaving lots of room for 'childhood imagination').

If you are someone who isn't Conan, I highly recommend river raid. It's a bit simple by today's standards, but it's a pretty fun game.

I have most of the good games i think, and surprisingly, one of the least known or owned, Indy 500, with the special controllers of course, works extremely well, the way you turn the the joystick knob to have your cars go around the corner and how they react on screen is perfect, and especially the ice tracks, they way they slide, those physics (which they aren't even really) is surprisingly good, it feels right. And of course the Breakouts, and Decathlon (kill your controllers).

I can see why Pitfall was really popular back then. It's way more sophisticated than the other super simple games that they played.

+Maestro_T Some Colecovision games didn't look far off some early NES games. Very impressive for 82. Something about this era of gaming. The 2600 was 13 years old when I was born but I love these old games. The charm of them.

@MaestroTJS 8 жыл бұрын

totallyterrificpants I was born in 1977 and had a Coleco. I think my family bought it in 1983 but I'm not sure. I had a cousin who had an Atari and I often wished I could play some of those games (yes, I liked the dreaded ET game, maybe because it was cute or because it was a challenge staying out of the pits). In retrospect my family was right to get the Coleco though. I didn't know about the Atari extension until...just a few minutes ago. The 2600 was equivalent to $781 when it first came out! lol. Anyway, I have a surprising amount of memories of playing those games. Some of them were quite entertaining (I think my favourite was BC's Quest for Tires). I guess the most interesting thing is that although games have come an extremely long way, it's not like anyone can sit down with one of these old games and be a master at it just because it's ancient. They are just as tricky.

@totallyterrificpants6226 8 жыл бұрын

+Maestro_T I liked E.T. It's flawed but fun. A lot who bash the game these days just download a ROM after hearing how bad it is, play with no instructions and curse the game out. The bundle I got my E.T. game in came with games far worse. I actually picked up a JR in the box yesterday with a boxed copy of Activision Decathlon and I'm loving it.
