RickR Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 This one came up in my youtube feed. It is fascinating! I bit more well done than most local news stories about video games of that time. You'll see a lot of familiar faces at Atari, including Howard Scott Warshaw with a whip! This was made as the 5200 was being developed, so you'll see some clips from the 5200 game developers.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 That is very entertaining and interesting. They really dug deep into the industry and for 1981 that was pretty deep. I liked hearing about the bug that was in Galaxian. I so wanted to jump in on the 2600 product line. I would have loved to have helped assemble those.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I just noticed how those VCS systems we grew up with went through being assembled. About 1:48 a lady plugs a game into the system hard and then flips the entire unit over. My poor four switch had to endure that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
