+LovelyCheesePizza Because internet. Let's be serious here, one episode and it would be whined to death. Some would whine that they're playing on PC, others that it's on a console, if it would be on a console there would be whining about the console's generation or brand, then there are those who would whine about the titles used (regardless whether it's PC or consoles), and so on, and so on. And the saddest part is that a huge chunk of that wouldn't even be gamers commenting, it would be trolls tryin' to mess around with people like usual (though yeah, not all of it, we all know how many gamers are just that idiotic and whiny). So no matter how much faith one would have in gamers in general, one episode, and the station is flooded with whiny complaints...
I don't think that's the reason why the internet is an issue. I spoke with TV Commissioners in 2005 - okay, that's still a while ago - but basically, TV people just don't "Get" videogames, and their answer to any pitch of a show covering it is that it's too niche for TV, and is better served by online websites and online videos. TV execs are however, interested in dramas based on popular videogame franchises. That said, with eSports booming, things may change. BBC Three are now doing Gfinity Elite Series - accept it's just online for the time being. *sigh*. Still, these days it's not too hard to watch an online show on your TV. It's the main reason I still use my Wii U, ^_^.
No need to remind me of the good old days. I remember them quite often. I remember the Video Game kings of my neighborhood and drew a huge crowd right after school was over. Good ole 80's for me.
For me, I gathered crowds around Kung Fu Master, Star Wars, Super Mario Bros. and Galaga Machines. I was also great at a lot of others, but those were primarily my go-to's.
Wow, this video is beautiful. This was before my time, but I've loved games ever since I was a little kid. Seeing these passionate people do what I love, with an audience and an exciting competition just warms my heart. Gaming will always be special.
it's probably a typical "That's Incredible" audience. One of the great things about this show is that you never know what you were gonna see. They had everything imaginable, so long as it was amazing. Was one of my favorite shows, though I don't recall seeing this episode.
I watched this show as a kid. I remember the episode with Dragon's Lair. The laserdisc game thing was a big craze then and lasted until the early 90s I think. You kind of had a live action thing again with the Sega CD and PC had it going already. I miss shows like this just like I miss good shows on MTV until the mid 90s.
I was the gameroom manager at USC and was the person who worked with ABC to get a player for that show. Ted was also a world champion Rubik’s Cube player.
vivek patil why didn't anyone scream that she was sexually harassing the younger guys? They didn't give verbal consent to those kisses! Guess it's because in the eighties people didn't go insane over this type of action.
@@beri4138 Ha! Good for you but that's all, I feel bad for you. Back then we had cool movies, cool cars, cool clothes, cool music, cool stores, cool hangout places, cool concerts, cool tv shows, cool toys, cool President, and many more cool shits!!!
@@matthewferguson7084 Yeah cause you play shitty games. Look at the indie scene. Thriving. If you wanna trashtalk modern games at least have some knowledge about them. Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Celeste, are these bad games? Do you play games or only complain about them?
@@shogunfox7141 I played 1980s games. They're garbage. They resemble the games on an old Nokia phone. 1990s games are a million times better. You're just another dumb hipster.
I wish I can build a time machine, go there, and show them the my favorite the lost world arcade game, the time crisis 4, and ghost squad.. I wonder how they will react to such amazing graphic and gameplay of the future game
I really wish the show is revived since there's countless of incredible things occured since the last show was aired. I'm thinking if John Davidson would continue hosting in a revival version with two new hosts. It would make a comeback for the show and what the viewers can learn what extraordinary things people have accomplished. So looking forward if there's going to be a revival with That's Incredible! and what things I'm going to see there.
Wow, this brings back good times for me. And no matter how old or dated these games are, Burger Time is still legendary. @Luckyrob72 I still play Pacman, Ms. Pacman and Pac Land to this day.
@Djcheeto916 I don't know why it was labeled "Cosmos" that was Astro Blaster and it was made by Sega in 1981, the game has a 'warp' button, that slowed the alien ships and their shots down for about 15 seconds.
@theassassin329 They were. There's more to graphics than bloomy bump-mapped brown. Good use of color, well-drawn sprites, good animation are things that don't age.
@Linkzsss These games were much more than good graphics. They had a style of playability that made them timeless. This is why the early 80s was known as the "golden age of video games". In comparison, your 3D game will almost certainly be forgotten in 30 years.
awesome.......... i am soooo happy i was the right age for the arcade boom. the nioises the girls the parties the games were so much fun , pinball air hockey
