I wanted to love this game as a 8 year old who loved soccer, but could never find anyone to play with me. I had two sisters that were totally uninterested. Friends that would come over would be instantly turned off by the 45 minutes showing on the clock, lol.

I'm waiting in eager anticipation for the comments from moms who played International Soccer on the Atari VCS 40 years ago.

Merchant of Venus. I gotta' tell that to my brother; he's the pun-master.

There is something I have always found a bit confusing in this era. Why did so many games simply fail to load? At the time, there were three types of media that games typically came on. The cartridge was the only format that actually worked as intended 99.9% of the time. The 5x11 and later 3x5 floppies were okay, but they still had high failure rates. Tape cassettes were just awful and would fail to load at least 50% of the time. You could have three identical copies of a game across the three media types, and only one worked properly. The data is there, so what gives? When I got into computers we would crack CD's and load them onto multiple floppies and we never had an issue as severe as it used to be. Oh, and remember, "Don't copy that floppy!" ;)

Kroozr has the same Control method of Tron (tanks and shooting sections) and Front Line - not exactly a twin stick more a twin set of controls AND i suspect this is the same base system that will be used for Tapper, Timber, Spy Hunter and Rampage in the years on: low res background and high res interlaced sprites

Wacko I know, but Kosmic is totally new to me. Wow. Cool one

It is impressive that they managed to recreate Gorf on Commodore VIC-20. That maze game from before where monster was slowly approaching you was more scary for me.

One of the things I love about this show is when I discover an obscure game I didn't know I could like. K-Razy Antiks looks really fun and different enough. Playing games from over a decade before I was born and coming from a country where home computers practically ruled during the whole decade (besides the Atari 2600) it's amazing. Since here the NES and the SNES arrived a few years apart in the '90s, there's a schism between '80s and '90s gamers even bigger than in the US or Western Europe, so most of these titles are totally obscure for me. Nightmare Park, Exterminate, Defense Command, Warp Destroyer, K.C. Munchkin, Star Warrior, Star Post, Shamus, The Quest for the Rings of Power, Caverns of Mars, Salmon Run and Stun Trap are all games I've played thanks to this channel.

Where i can find the Game and Watch song???

boxing atari is funny and very good

🏈 🥅 😁

1982 get your atari stop waiting nothing will be hotter anywaycheese a was soooo wrong😂😂

Horace has sad eyes 👀

Freedom Fighters is one of the best games on videopac so far. Very smooth and i like fire engine animations. I don t have that background space in my version. Is it image from mame or something ?

time to find key of time

Why is Anteater collecting colorfull balls underground ?

2.5 for unofficial ASCII frogger. That's what 5 pounds 99 gets you. 4 for official TRS-80 release- very good. 3.5 Tomy Tutor version. Was thinking 3, but I will reserve that for the next version as this version is better than that one for sure. Just a 3 for VideoPac, and not because of the grainy music which could be an emulation issue. Small sprites vs large tiles, very little sound, just appears to be nowhere near the fun level of the official TRS-80 release.

"Horace Goes Skiing" the best jaywalking simulator in town

Tornado is a little different than other similar games because you can touch enemies expect red ones and still kill them. Focus is later more on protection. Tron was great but i couldn t aim with keyboard. I managed to complete 3/4 minigames without aiming.

Swashbuckler is very cool. Even now they make similar games on mobile.

MIssionX is upgraded version of Sky Raider from 1978. We can see ton of improvements. Fully colored graphic. Enemies that fight back. Levels that change colors.

Gravitar is Lunar Lander on steroids. whatever you do, don't enter that red star, or you aren't coming back out

I can imagine alot of arcade machines with this game have dents in them.

Ya I remember front line . Blast from the past . A&W back in 80s seemed old then I sucked at it wasted a buck never laid eyes on it again..till now don't remember a home version.

I played lost ark 😃like a maniac and I did finish the games in 1984 E.t was more hard but I like it 😮

Very good history book that was made in still early years of video games. After i once again checked the best games of 1981. I decided to give first place to Fantasy. There is proper game ending. Very good art. Music is awesome and they added various sound effects what other games lacked. They also added continue play so you can fail and experience content with practice. They combined various games together and they work well. Lastly there is boss fight at the end and cutscene.

great episode, i love horace... that inheritance game is brilliant, i've not seen that before

The history of horace is quite fun. Those little pixels you see sometimes from his side is not an arm but is actually a pony tail. It was a discussion point for many years. Great video. Excelsior

The Great Wallstreet....I'd rather play Pac Man on the 2600. My God the sound is the most grating thing I have ever heard. No wonder the industry crashed with "games" like that releasing. Yuck. Addendum- I can't wait until you hit 1985-1986. That's when the industry explodes with incredible, must play games.

Considering how incredibly inefficient BASIC is in terms of processor usage, Atari 8-bit Hopper isn't terrible. One of the best type-in games I've seen. Minigolf type-ins are ones that usually got me hooked back in the day, including for the Color Computer.

👍💪

Hard! 😮

Gobbler: tile BASIC not tile based, and that cover is made with the ZX printer

Hard Hat looks interesting. I was also going to suggest that it could be a Spectrum game. It would be faster pace without the solid walls. Gobbler looks like it was written in BASIC. I think that I could do better.

Gobbler past fast, no wonder 😄

you did miss nothing ! great job -no small job ,

Oh no, 30 bucks in 1981 is $104.06 today. An IBM PC cost $1,565.00 in 1981 on average, which comes to $5,428.45 today! What a steal! ;)

I think this game does not get the recognition it deserves, a proto run and gun where you control where you go on a scrolling screen and you can hop in and out of vehicles.

The horsey game manual showed that you could control 2 horses with controllers in one of the pictures. So not just a betting game I guess.

what we see that what we get -perfect chanel

Joined live for the first time recently and I will say it was very bizarre seeing my username on my TV screen in the chat, never done that before, I'm more of a leave a comment afterwards kind of guy lol it was fun though. Also is there a longer version of your intro song? My 4 year old loves to dance to it but its over in like 20 seconds lol

Galaxians appears to be too fast. The ship moves left and right more quickly and the enemies attack quicker than the arcade. The sudden horizontal motion of one of the aliens doesn't match the arcade behavior.

Simple, but I was addicted to it.😁

I remember playing Front Line on the Famicom (via an NES multicart) back in the day.

Hey, you did see galaxian on the spectrum first! (not an official version but a very well done one)

I remember enjoying Front Line in the arcade back in the day. I have the Ikari Warriors controller that was released some months ago, and it has settings for Front Line, though of course the fire button is off to the side. I haven't tried it with the game though- it requires changing the knob I believe as you can go from 8-way to 12-way to I think 16-way to free spinning. Anyway, I give the arcade game a 4.5. For Galaxian, I struggle to give it anything more than a 3.5- it does not play like the original at all, the sound is not great, and- where are the Galaxians? Those special enemies seen at the top in the arcade are missing entirely. I think Namco held a really tight grip on this IP as besides this game missing the actual Galaxian enemy, many ports of Gorf were entirely missing the Galaxian level.

Frontline reminds me of the NES game Commando. I wonder if it was an inspiration?

Shame you missed the targets.. Explosions were very satisfying when destroying the enemy.. Try the 100% machine code Vic games by Jeff minter..They're fantastic for a 3.5k games..😉👍

Did u play "Zor" as well? Simple but addictive..
