Old man! I was 9 😂

Yeah, same here... lol

Me too.

DAMN

Best decade to grow up in had of been the 80s! What the heck happen to this crazy world! So sad…

An Atari 2600 was my first home console and I loved it!

I always laugh when people say “I miss X piece of media” that is still around/available in contemporary re-releases.

Oh no , kids having fun with video games and drugs. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! HORROR!😱

it probably was a pirated version of puckman

Do you know why they changed Pac Man's name from "Puck Man?" They did this knowing teenagers would change the "P" to an "F" and they're not wrong.

@@Sinn0100 Stop flirting with me, Scott.

@@reoire843 Who the Hell is this Scott person and why is he trying to move on my territory? ;)

@@Sinn0100 In the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World", it's a running gag that he always flirts with girls by telling them about how Pac-Man has its changed in America :)

Kids and adults.

@5_min_alone Oh I'm sorry, I like actually owning my games.

@@Sinn0100 We haven't been able to own most games for almost 15 years. We just have a license to play them, if Microsoft, Sony or Valve decide to reneg on that license you are left with a box and a disc that does nothing.

Agree. I'd get a dollar to spend on lunch at school. I found that I could get two ice cream sandwiches for 50 cents, then have two quarters left to play games with. We didn't have bikes yet, but we would walk miles to where the cool new game was with two precious quarters in our pockets, which of course would disappear pretty quickly, but it was so worth it.

Good possibility some of these folks are still alive, and have participated in the several revolutions to where we are today in the digital realm.

@@curcumin417 I'm sure plenty of them are still alive. 1982 wasn't that long ago. They'd be in their 50s, 60s.

To be fair, it was Dragon's Lair and Astron Belt that blew our minds just one year later. Still stand up as hugely impressive looking and sounding games.

It blew Larry Demar’s mind in 1995 when Digital Eclipse first emulated Stargate. He said later in an interview that if someone had told him in 1982 that in 1995 he would be seeing his exact work simulated on a computer, he would wondered what that person was smoking.

Oh, and I started playing video games in 1982 at the age of 4. It really feels to me like video games grew up with my generation. As I entered my teenage years, that’s when I noticed games becoming more and more violent. Games like Splatterhouse weren’t in my area, and somehow I never took notice of NARC’s gratuitous violence, and somehow I didn’t notice the nudity in Crime Fighters. Not that any of it offends me, though I do think it’s a good thing there is a rating system today, whereas it wasn’t necessary in the 80s.

artthousulu bless her heart

Whatever happen to this world!

They’re.

What about the hairstyles?

thomascampr cooL

Prove it.

Cool Story. I have an uncle that works for Nintendo.

Yeah it says that in the video lol

he works for apple

Probably the PS9 VR will NOT be backwards compatible with PS8 VR, also here's what VR looked like 32 years ago kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iphzjK-duNSVl3U.html With a little bit at the start (1:26-1:46) showing what VR looked like 36 years ago(1986)

1982 is nearly 42 yrs ago

Back when a high score used to mean something

I think he was talking about how much money the industry makes from selling games and then how much people spend in arcades. The revenue from an Arcade goes to the owner, not the people who built the machines in it.

I found at the Lawndale Library wrapped on a blanket when went mail something there an African American Woman who could not open the Lawndale Library for us, who did not have the key at the time but I have always returned to that same location over to make sure that some day that the innocent will be repaid in full and noone will steal from any Libraries again in 2019and in past events so that the Hawthorne or the Lawndale Sherif will not steal from the storage house of the knowledge of the past. Lauren Clark was also at the Maytag Lawndale Laurdry Mat hold out her hand for something to give me the Walt Disney's photograph of her mother Susan Luella Wetzel standing on the left side near a skinny Walt Disney with my mother as a little girl on a black & white Kodak film with Peter Pan ship in the background at Disneyland. I wanted to give her the fun package of information that only hoped she received in the mail about Harry Potter the Wizarding World in Universal Hollywood California.

They did the exact same with heavy music and gory movies and anything else that was new and unfamiliar to grown ups.

Yes, that does fit the theme of how time works.

Gameplay looks like Moon Cresta, but the control panel graphics aren't right, so... anyone else?

Soulsborne here.

Nationwide that's not hard to do in the 80's... people actually went out back then by the millions. It wasn't like today.

@@EQOAnostalgia you can believe what you want but that man who is saying how much they made has no proof he didn’t even count the money or was allowed to go count it he was just saying what he believes it makes 25 cents isn’t going to get you to a million dollars do you even know what a million dollars means ? The teenage mutant ninja turtles wasn’t even out yet it cost $10 to beat it but games like Pac-Man doesn’t need $10 it doesn’t have an ending it’s just for scoring I didn’t see a million people in that video

@@EQOAnostalgia if that was true Pac-Man was making 8 million dollars I would of bought the arcade machine and put it in a store and made a million dollars in the 1980’s you were a child back then I’m an adult who had money when you were a child paying $3,000 isn’t to much money then earning a million prophet but it’s not true this guy who tells the news doesn’t know what he’s saying 8 million dollars can buy you a very great house that more then NBA players make a week if Pac-Man was making 8 million then all the NBA players would retire go own an arcade machine

Lies this man talks crazy he doesn’t know what’s he’s saying no games earn a million dollars

@@Suhadisgood No, not only does he know what he is saying but he also went to school and knows how to count.

And heavy music. And gory movies. And just about every other fad that grown ups didn't understand...

You could fit thousands of these games in a square inch, in fact.

that may be true but you can NEVER replace what the feeling is of the original full size cabinet with artwork. truly a different era back then.

The last one I knew of closed around 2010, but from the early 90's right up until it's closure it looked nothing like the busy arcades of the early 80's - the only reason we went in was because in the 90's and early '00's the games still had much better graphics than you could get on any PC or console so it was still a treat to play something like House of the Dead. Then the X-box 360 and Playstation 3 happened around 2008 and killed off the arcade for good, because now you could have better graphics in your room than downtown.

"Fred, are you describing Pac-Man or did you drop acid again?"

Lol ..the 70s hung around into the early 80s

Yeah ,scrolled down to see if anyone else caught that. "....a national industry estimated at seven and a half billion dollars", from the video Guessing American liberal arts journalism math at work here . Must have meant 30 billion quarters. If tis 300 billion quarters or $75 billion than ,say, nearly 37.5 million young Americans(mostly boys and young men) with disposable income were spending on average $2000 or 8000 quarters (22 quarters average a day) on arcades in 1982. The average US income then was about $11,000.

@@Gaur1983 The money you put in an arcade machine does not go towards the videogame industry, it goes towards the owner of the arcade. If I buy beer and sell it to you I expect you to pay me and not the brewery - two different industries.

nice

It lasted for another month or so because 1983 was the great video game crash that bankrupted many of the companies that were big.
