To hell with the video policy. Even PC speaker is great… and it made me realize I actually played it in speaker the first time too. Nostalgic shivers, outstanding. Thanks!

Those colors in Atari ST Barbarian… mever a CRT looked better.

Aaah, Zoolook, never kmew it was in a game title -in its most epic moment indeed!

La grande époque où les jeux étaient portés par une seule personne! On en très loin aujourd’hui ! Merci pour le partage

I played and loved it on C64. On Amiga it is beautiful, especially the sound.

Is it just me, or they don’t have such creativity & wild ideas in modern games? I vividly remember playing this on Atari ST… is it rose coloured retro nostalgia eyes? I feel games in the 8bit, 16bit era were more creative! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

My high school had Atari STs and I discovered them when I (voluntarily) went to Summer School. The teacher and another friend introduced me to Dungeon Master. They had printed all the maps and spells so I had a pretty good head-start on the game. Since then I've beaten it 3 or 4 times. What I really liked is how your skills naturally improve as you use them. I used to throw boulders around just trying to build up my strength. That's how it should be, right? Not assigning points willy-nilly! Oh, and Gothmog is my favorite character, I always have him in my party. :D

C'est de la digitisation audio sur ce jeu.

What model of Atari ST is that?

Arkanoid - the C64 had the best tune. Only one with a "3D sound", all the others were "flat"!

Barbarian on Amiga should be played in NTSC as it was originally designed!

R-type for amiga .... sound head over heels above the rest. No comparison whatsoever. Good lord how shitty the Atari monitor sound is ....

Oh nice, a first release big box of Monkey Island for the ST. I use to have it, but only the Kixx XL one.. 😐

If you don't mind my asking: how long did it take for you to have this collection and the space to run all these machines? I want to get into retro computing but I don't have the space yet for this many machines.

4:39 (alien swearing in native language) This part had me laughing! LOL

Nice studio! I miss the Atari ST days. Maybe get a Roland MT for it!

Barbarian!! I had this very vague memory of a game i played in the 90s. Couldn't remember the name or anything really, except the feeling it gave me. Now i know! Thanks!

I went from the Atari, to the NES, and then PC by the early 90's. I barely remember the switch from 16 to 256 colors. The big switch I remember came with windows 95 then 98, with CD drives and 3D acceleration, because that's when I stopped being able to play the current games, lol. I've still never owned an up to date gaming PC. Luckily, Sim City will play on a potato. As do Atari/NES emulators. 🙂

I bought my Atari 1040STe in 1991 with the bigger (1435) color monitor. I played the games and enjoyed the simulation type programs like Flight simulator and Sim City, also used the word and spreadsheet "Sheet" (now known as Excel) programs. It helped me gain friends at Atari clubs, did term papers for college and I learned 3D modeling techniques that helped me in my career. Of course, since I learned computer programming via the Atari computer, I was able to get my "computer information sciences" degree. I became a CAD designer and had more 3D modeling experience than the employees working there who came off of board drawing (on actual wood boards, called drafters). Then, in 2003, the CEO of Ford Motor Company, Jack Nasser wanted to increase productivity - he gave every employee (170 thousand employees) a home computer and "cheap" internet access. He figured that everyone would have an e-mail and we would start emailing each other. (That's when work started following us home.) The floppy drive was not reading disks on my 1040STe computer, so I put the Atari away - for 30 years. I recently retired from my job and pulled the Atari computer back out to "walk down memory lane" and forgot the art (Neochrome, Degas, Spectrum) that I created. The hard drive still works and so does the 1040STe itself and I ordered a new floppy drive from Best Electronics. The reason to pull the Atari out - to keep my mind going. I don't want to eat and sleep and sit on a rocking chair until I die. The walk down memory lane reopened memory pathways that were 30 years old - good memories of friends and fun on a computer.

"feel free to agree or disagree" We can learn a lot from that statement nowadays. Great video Hope those people got the movie they wanted

I agree wholeheartedly. The only proper way of experiencing these retro games is on the real hardware. Great channel, by the way.

Such a majestic machine. Love the Atari ST

FYI there was an 8512 - double the RAM and a second floppy drive.

Had the 1640 SD. Over the years added an adlib sound card, 3.5inch Double Density (720KB) floppy and a 30 MB hard card in one of the expansion slots. Final slot had a dual game port card. Finally retired it in 1996....

Great video again. I also had SMS 1 with Alex Kidd. The only thing that caught my eye: It wasn't Sega's decision not to support 3rd party publishers. It's a well known fact that Nintendo practically banned 3rd party publishers from publishing on other consoles.

MSX was also very popular in Finland, especially thanks to Spectravideo.

I still have 300+ Big Box PC games from the 80s and 90's. I have another 100 DVD case games from the 2000s

It took the F-19 and this game video to get me to subscribe. Quality editing, great commentary, and good game knowledge!

This (except F117), Gunship, Red Storm Rising, Pirates and Silent Service were my life, back in the day, all on my C64 and 1541. Played them incessantly for years!

Maybe I'm late to the party but I really loved this video. It would be nice to see other quick but deep reviews of other games of the 286/386 era, like Kings of the Beach, Star Goose, Stellar 7 and so on.

I'd love to see a modern developer try to create something similar to this that retains the retro aesthetic. Sounds like a Devolver kind of thing

Dungeon Master, also my favourite game.

You should do Aces Over Europe / Pacific series

Microprose manuals were 60% of the experience, from the minute you sit down on the bus home, and many nights reading it in bed. And also while the C64 loaded it, which took an hour, every mission. Every. Single. Mission.

repulsive

The original F-19 was just a small model kit, supposedly based on insider connections the designer had. It became one of the most sold model kits of all time. This might have helped distract from the F-117 project, but the game made certain aspects of stealth easily available to the public.

Как работает уменьшение оригинального разрешения Mastter System с 256×192 до 160x144 Game Gear?

OMG this game was the shit back in the days.

Gunship

Same thing with Chuck Yeager.

For me, it was ultima 6. The first game me and my friends at the time ever saw in 256 color mode, and, with full adlib / sound blaster support. Making it (at the time) the most astonishing multimedia and gaming experience!

What a fascinating and beautiful looking game! Great camera work too!

Someone PLEASE make a way to do this the other way around.

The first flight simulator i really grasped, spent endless hours on it in glorious cga graphics on 286 12,5MHz

Great series. I really like that you use original machines, and original games. Even if many retro folks did definitely _not_ use original games most of the time (I did have some, but 10x more pirated stuff). I knew some people with MSX, but much more with C64 or even Atari 8 bit. One had an MSX2 with Metal Gear and Thexder. That was pretty impressive. Even if the Z80 was not a very good CPU at that time (1990), the smooth scrolling and same color and resolution as the Atari ST made it quite good.

Beautiful! Retro vibes all over again.

Remember my cousin taking his 1040ST downstairs. Hooking the 55cm TV up to it via SCART. All of a sudden he had a huge colour monitor, with clear sound, and even crisper graphics. And then he ran this game. What the hell.

A friend of mine had one. MSX2. Pretty impressive Japanese games [Metal Gear, Thexder (or how was that inspiration for Turrican called?). Good peripherals. For other software like text processing, DTP, music, or anything else, it was inferior. One thing it did have as an edge over the Atari ST was that it had a decently developed DOS, whereas the Atari ST had really silly super slow move and delete functions, requiring add-ons such as pinhead or Kobold to alleviate this.

Played it on about the same PS/2 (model 30, 8086, MCGA). The PS/2 was a moloch. Super well built.. with totally outdated technology compared to ST and Amiga. F-19 was quite something with it's stealth mechanics.. Keep that bomb bay closed!
