The history of video games goes as far back as the early 1950s, when academic computer scientists began designing simple games and simulations as part of their research. Video gaming did not reach mainstream popularity until the 1970s and 1980s, when video arcade games and gaming consoles using joysticks, buttons, and other controllers, along with graphics on computer screens and home computer games were introduced to the general public. Since the 1980s, video gaming has become a popular form of entertainment and a part of modern popular culture in most parts of the world. One of the early games was Spacewar!, which was developed by computer scientists. Early arcade video games developed from 1972 to 1978. During the 1970s, the first generation of home consoles emerged, including the popular game Pong and various "clones". The 1970s was also the era of mainframe computer games. The golden age of arcade video games was from 1978 to 1982. Video arcades with large, graphics-decorated coin-operated machines were common at malls and popular, affordable home consoles such as the Atari 2600 and Intellivision enabled people to play games on their home TVs. During the 1980s, gaming computers, early online gaming and handheld LCD games emerged; this era was affected by the video game crash of 1983. From 1976 to 1992, the second generation of video consoles emerged.

Here in the UK arcades are/were all at the seaside, mostly along the seafronts, and I always remember going to them being a treat. Far from being harmful, they were very social and helped my hand-eye coordination to a great degree. Now though, kids mostly sit in their rooms playing them in social isolation, which isn't at all good.

Haha. I have a "Vader" 2600 and an old school CRT television (Sony Trinitron) which is still one of my favorite consoles of all time. Nothing like the Paddle controller and games like Kaboom!. Many of the games are still compelling and addictive despite many games being over 50 years old. Now excuse me while I play a hardware accurate FPGA (MiSTer) versions of all the games you mentioned plus Wizard of Wor and Time Pilot. You don't need to relive the memories. You can play the same games today.

​@@privateprivate1865 The non-centering controller which easily broke was the chief problem of the 5200. For a lot of people the 7800 was the better choice since it could play 2600 games which the 5200 couldn't.

I miss old news that used to just report what was going on and didn't try to spin every little thing constantly. They interviewed kids, parents, game makers, city officials. They brought up pros and cons of video games. They just let the facts and people involved speak for themselves. Our video games have gotten amazing since 1981, our news reporting? Not so much.

Plus a whole bunch of little corner stores that had arcade games too. They were everywhere! 😮 And of course, me and my buddies loved spending time and money at the arcade 😍 Good times!

In 1981 I was 14 going on 15. What a great time to be a teenager. I played Space Invaders in ‘79 at a hotel on Oahu. Arcades were magical. Even at my university in the mid to late 80s, I spend many a quarter at the university arcade. Although I sucked at Defender, I loved plunking quarter after quarter into it. The graphics and sound effects will haunt me in a good way for a long time yet.

I was born in 1981. I was introduced to the arcade and game centers by older boys around 1990, and I slowly became addicted. The interesting thing is that I wasn't even 10 years old yet but there was no problem with little boys like me going to the game centers alone because it was so safe that it wasn't dangerous for me to be around older boys and adults. The only danger was me spending money on the machines almost everyday 😁 Sometimes my mother wouldn't give any money but I still had to go to the game centers. At least watching the older boys play was fun too.

The very name I'm using right now came from my days in the Arcades! I entered for the first time an Arcade in July of 1982 I'll never forget it. I started with Pac Man but got hooked on Galaga. If you remember, you had to get really creative with your user name. It was the old 8 dot 3 days where you only had 8 digits so your name had to be something catchy that no one else would think of or use. I thought mine up on the spot and I'm still using it for my RU-vid account today. "Lordcron" It was perfect! I miss those days.

At that time, it was just 25 cents to play the game, if I remember right. That's not terribly expensive, even for the time. By the mid 90s, I remember some games were $2-4 bucks to play, even sometimes 5 and the games were hard enough that you could play maybe 15 minutes if you're lucky. You could just buy the game on a ps1 or n64 for a fraction of the cost. So yeah, arcades were on the out due to the expense and how cheap it was to get a home console instead.

Crazy that those people were trying to pass an ordinance to limit the number of operational arcade machines in the county, because a shop across the street from school had installed three of them. When I was in high school, a few years ago, people were playing on their cellphones, inside school. Some of them were audacious enough to play during class. That's why I love watching these videos, they're a trip.

No matter how hard I tried, Most of them could not comprehend why Video Games would last more than a few years. Awesome piece of history for me, Thanks! ( I actually own 12 coin op original Arcade Machines. 2 Full sized Gorfs, 1 Cabarat Gorf, 2 Stargate Machines, an Asteroids, a Scramble Cocktail, a Tron and, I own a Computer Space, the first Commercial, Coin Op Arcade machine).

Can't believe that all pinball machines were banned & destroyed in 1938 Ney York. There was no way that was going to happen in early 1980's with arcade games. Video arcades might not be the sensation they once were, but video games are alive & well in the 21st Century & we have so many old school classics to thank for the start of it all.

I even lucked out and landed an amazing fiancee who is just as diehard about gaming as I. We have a full sized arcade in our living room complete with full stand-up coin-op cabinets. We play everything across all platforms, genre's, and generations of gaming. From the very old (Gen 3) through the 9th generation we love it all. Long live gaming and the gamers that play them!

I couldn't help laughing, sometimes, at all those bicentennial quarters that we were feeding into machines. I kept telling myself, "These are going to be valuable, someday, and won't you feel dumb?"

I was in preschool in 1984, and each day we would have these series of activity stations where you could play for 20 minutes or so before rotating to the next station. One of the stations featured video games. Well, I was a Space Invaders master. And one day, I got on such a good run that I lost track of time and missed two station rotations. I was so embarrassed when I realized it, but fortunately no one else (including the teacher) seemed to notice.

The first arcade game I played was Asteroids in a table style cabinet where you had to sit down to play. It was on a black and white screen with white lines forming the ship, the asteroids and the occasional UFO. The second game was a knock off Star Wars game called Starhawk. The third, fourth and fifth were Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

I used to love going to the arcade with my friends. I didn't play a ton of games because I liked to save my allowance for comic books (Action Comics cost about as much as 2 or 3 games-and it seemed a much better buy for me) I did like playing Galaga, and Qix though

I think it’s more complicated today. With games being much more complicated in general, they require more tools and programming knowledge to create. Still cool to see dev kits in use.
@reoire843
@reoire843 2 года назад
@@gamingquarterly6353 The machines are more complex for sure. And if you want to know everything about every piece of them, then yeah it's more complicated. But there are so many tools today that handle some of the load that a lot of the job is done for you. For example, there are so many game engines that are available even to beginners. Back in those days, developers would generally have to build their own engine and most of their own tools. Today I think one of the biggest challenges is navigating the dizzying amount of options out there. And the problem of how to work through the obstacle when there is some issue with your tool. That's when having deep knowledge helps. But gaining that degree of knowledge is something that devs often forego when they use these ready-made tools. I think that is the real downside to having all these tools today.

Going from today with inflation those games were about 80 cents a piece. An Atari was about $500 with inflation when they were knew they were about 119 and that was a Black Friday sale I was lucky enough to get one for Christmas in 1982 maybe three 😅
