Always enjoy 2600 content. My first system was the 7800, so of course I had a ton 2600 games. Now I play more 2600 games than 7800, NES, Genesis, and all the rest.
Your contribution to the hobby is important enough that we need you to get a lapel mic or even just an sm58. I’m saying this because I love your content
No offense taken. I agree, and I'm doing my best to get some better audio equipment. I wanted to get a couple of these under my belt to gauge how comfortable I am sitting in front of a camera doing this.
Really enjoying your videos and glad I found your channel. I always enjoy listening to others old video game memories. I know I will always treasure mine.
I came in just wanting to give the video a view and like to show support (because I refuse to believe people like the atari) but this was a really great video. Better than anything I've read or watched about the console.
Man. It's so funny how games are there during various huge events of our lives. In your case, dealing with your parents separation and a new household. I dealt with a similar situation, even traumatic at times, but I still remember a kid telling me about how Hitler curses at the end of Bionic Commando (also buying Robotech Art 3 and reading it cover to cover). But thanks for letting us get a glimpse into your world. Very interesting.
When I play Kaboom I'm at my step-dad's place. When I listen to Michael Jackson's Dangerous, it's Christmas. When I read Robotech Art 1, I'm learning that there's blood and nudity in Macross :) Nostalgia!
Great idea for a series. As someone about the same age as you but having grown up in Sweden it’s interesting to compare my experiences to yours. I have also thought a lot about my gaming past lately. My first home system was a C64 and I did not try a 2600 until about 10 years ago.
Thanks! I love hearing about others' gaming experiences growing up, because it's so easy for us to grow up assuming everyone's childhood was similar to theirs. The C64 was a major blind spot for me when I was a kid. I think the first time I really experience one was when I went away to Cub camp one summer. One of the cabins held all the computers (I think they were Apple IIs), but due to how many kids there were that summer a few of us actually slept in the back of that cabin. It was awesome. It was the only place on the island with any sort of tech. And the guys who were running that cabin had a TV and a C64 that they would fire up and let us play every night. We played a LOT of Activision's Ghostbusters that summer :)
I love this idea, as I too have often thought about how growing up with games influenced my taste in games and how I relate to gaming culture as a whole. If you're ever looking for a guest, I'm down to go over my own history, and you know where to find me. If not, I might just steal this idea and do my own.
Activision was definitely one of the best developers for the 2600. That Ice Hockey commercial with Phil Hartman was a classic. Kaboom! is another great one. Kevin Bunch just did an episode on Barnstorming and Grand Prix, both good looking games.

This was great, keep them coming ol’ buddy.

Aw thanks man!

Going back today and firing up an Activision 2600 collection, it's really amazing at the consistent quality of most of their games.
