Off subject, but: the music used here is the title theme from the 1961 film "Exodus", composed by Ernest Gold. Although it does possess something of a Beethoven-like character...
A suggestion if I may. When making a video about Video Games it is good to have some footage from the games themselves. Apart from that it was a good list, thank you for that. The music was too overly dramatic for their piece though. Maybe music from the games themselves would be better. Thanks again.
All that about ET & pacman is alot of retro folk lore, we got them in Europe too take it from someone that lived through it the console crash only happened in America & consisted off the 3 main competitors computers failing as well, which were not prominent in the rest of the world (matel aquaris coleco adam) the rest off the world never got the Atari 5200 the colecovision & intellivision arrived later & expensive for a world market moving over to computer gaming & away from expensive cartridges
Why, because somebody on G4 said so? The fact of the matter is that they are far worse games on the Atari 2600 alone. Anybody who thinks E.T. is the worst game obviously hasn't played many Atari games. Go play Strawberry Shortcake, Robin Hood, A-Team, Sneak-n-Peak, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... and get back to me. And I'm just scratching the surface here.
I bet if you dug around in a junkyard for about 5 minutes you would proberly find 7 copies of E.T and around 5 copies of pacman. now imagine how many you would find in an entire day. DO THE NUMBERS!
Because they made 12 million copies, LOL. More even that the total number of Atari 2600's @ the time. Also, it was such a piece of crap from a "trusted" (Atari) name. With everybody & his brother (even Purina Pet Food Co.) making overpriced/poor quality games & flooding the market, people got sick of it & stopped buying games/consoles. That was in 1983 & caused "The Great Video Game Crash of 1983". The market was stagnant & the entire gaming industry near death, until rescued by Nintendo.
