Lots of shit MatsuSHITa montiors going in there.

No wonder these games are so hard to get apart now. These assbags used air tools to assemble them!

Tony Why after 2 turnovers game plays like it plays like beginning ? Thought it was supposed to get harder. What difficulty settings do you have it on ? Also if you were playing bonus lives every 10 000 what is your highest score ?

This video shows exactly why Atari failed. The execs weren't gamers, didn't listen to the programmers and thought they could spend their way into success without a clear idea of who they were selling to. I'm glad Atari CoinOp.. the true Atari survived the market crash. The other spun off Atari console and computer division run by the Tramiel's thought low cost was the only driving factor in success. They to didn't understand what it took to succeed and failed lacking the innovation that made 400/800 computers successful, then carrying that into the future. I can't believe the Atari name is now owned by the French. What the heck. One of the most recognized American brands still... is owned by a foreign company. Oh how far we have fallen!

Truly the last time Pole Position worked since it was born...

Are you able to regularly defend six cities without a loss at around 600,000+? If not, there's at least one guy I've seen who was probably better.

This record is going to stand the test of time. Congrats once again, Tony !!

Mr awesome ….is another awesome player

Always had trouble with the big black trackball until I could find one that used the smaller White trackball

It's because of this game that I've always used a trackball with my PC, not a mouse.

Ground zero for the tragedy

Back in the day, we used to go to the gaming parlour. And we played the fuck outta Centipede

Ahora entiendo por qué siempre perdía

Roy Shildt would crush you bro!

With the saucer count being 22 and then every 15th after that, the first 300 points is actually available after the 8th shot, and then every 15th after that. It's just that it can be difficult to clear enough invaders after only 8 shots to hit the saucer, so mostly people go to 22 shots the first time. Saw that in a 'how to' space invaders magazine from years ago.

I'd like to think that all "beginner" MC players do the same thing: press a button and WATCH your missile hit the incoming missile. That was the HUGE thing that MC taught me! Is that how you *really* play is launch your missile... and just move on. You don't get see it fly, you don't wait for the impact. You just have to KNOW that it's going to hit ... and not care. Once I started my professional career, I always laughed internally about how that ended up being my approach to so many work-related problems was to make sure I assigned the right people and just... let them go. They'll solve that problem, move on to the next thing. Even in other video games, there is a tendency to want to want to WATCH the effect of what you're doing, and it's always your downfall. You have to learn to "solve the problem" (whatever it is) ... and just move on. MC was a super fun game in the pantheon of early video games, but it ended up being a great learning tool for me. :^)

The only flaw was a lack of CPU fans/coolant. Otherwise, the game itself is effortless in performance. I would love to own the original sit-down versions of this and the 2nd one someday.

stay cool

In Spain, we used cigarette plastic lighters XD

Wild in 1983 playboy published a rating acrade magazine as well since that was craze pulling young men away from their market with video gaming

I still play mine every week. I will never get tired of it!

Tis no man

Where’s Mr Awesome?

Really nicely done. Can you plug a game controller into it for alternate controls, and can you output to an HDMI monitor and have both screens working at once?

Pen or pencil worked great for me

The blisters i had playing this game, whether in the arcade or on consoles, but international track and field on the playstation, the technique we used to win was great, but the blusters were so painful, like a cross between paper cuts and third degree burns. I remember you could rell whi had been playing it over the weekend because they would have fingers with the top 2 sections either blistered up or bandaged. Ivehad a leg amoutated whilst being awake, and going tgrough having those blisters was more painful. They would be sore for over a week, in agony the whole time. What was the first thing you would do when they healed? Fire up IT&F on the playstation again. Gluttons for punishment.

Auditory wise, it sounds like this every summer when I take the kids to Blackpool, Cleethorpes, Whitby, Bridlington, Mablethorpe etc. the sounds of my childhood sumners also.

Crazy you can now play and buy Pole Position on the Nintendo Switch a very small console on at home.

I remember being in the back of a really nice cafe back in 1980 with Galaxia (the rip off of Galaxians), Battlezone and Asteroids along with Space Invaders pinball and they wheeled in Missile Command.... hearing those sounds and that "The End" screen was quite something to an 11 year old. I have no idea how you or anyone can get so good at this game... I was always an observer on most games... the only game I got any good at was Bank Panic as I could get to 250,000 -300,000 on that on a good day...

Wow....I don't know when this was filmed, but it was definitely before my time. My experience with Atari didn't happen until 1994 with the Jaguar (other than arcade cabs). I started playing in 1986 on the Nes and Sega Master System. I feel in love with gaming, and I have never stopped. Addendum - Today, we (fiancee and I) have every console from the test launch of the Atari 7800 in 1984 through the Xbox Series X, PS5, Switch, Steam Deck. My favorite generation was the 5th.

holy fvcking cow

Are you one of the hosts of that podcast. Oh what is the name now. Ah yes, the Ted Dabney experience. Are you the author of Missile Commander.

You have an extraordinary collection of videos. Fantastic!

this is gold, actually its diamond

is this the machine from blackpool PB? when was this video taken? thanks

I thought 400,000 was pretty good. Bravo!

They all seem to be Atari cabs. I have these on one of my Arcade1up’s.

That’s my Uncle. 💙

Most morbid game of the 1980s?

I would love to see a walkthrough of your collection

Can I offer you some quarters for Gravitar, miss?

Could someone tell me which news outlet this segment is from? I'm currently writing a report for games such as death race and this would be a huge help, thank you :)

I came from Atari Age 2/18/24 The footage looks nice for its age. Does anybody know where this factory was located?

tickling pro

It’s funny. You can see the tape on the top of his forehead holding his hair down.

I see what's going on the screen... but I still don't know how you're doing what you're doing... Incredible

that captures it....very well....nice...van halen is great as well....

universal is a favorite company of mine ...i wish there was a book that showed color pictures of these games with the atwork marquee ect....

i would love to see and play this ...love rare arcade games with there cool artwork and graphics!
