The graphic design is almost too rad for me to handle.
Wow this comment is like totally rad dude :) Love the 80s :)
And thanks so much!
I don't know how this channel isn't huge. All your work is wonderful
Thank! :)
I was thinking the same
That’s what I was thinking
Agreed
I found accidentally this channel, I bless that day!
This series taught me so much. Great job, these videos are so well made.
Great to hear and thanks for watching! And stay tuned for more videos :)
No problem the pleasure was all mine! Definitely looking forward to any videos this channel has to offer.
As others have said, it's impressive the amount of work put into each one of this videos. The research, the editing, the narration, everything is very well done. Highly recommended! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! :)
Absolutely amazing video! Top notch editing and narration, informative too.
Glad you liked it! Thanks :)
Man, this 3-part series is one of the coolest and most informative things I've ever seen on RUclips.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
great video. i remember an interview with the man who did the german translation of Secret of Mana. that was hilarious. he didnt even get the original japanese text. sometimes just some information what was kinda going on and had to write some own german texts that he thought that could fit the gameplay or the game situation... really crazy story. unbelievable now.
I'm so glad I found this series, been doing some research in how old games were made for inspiration and ideas in creating my own RPG Maker game(I don't really know any programming language and the game is a side hobby alongside university), but I'm trying to create my game like how these game developers made their's back in the day in terms of game design and graphics, I'm currently making a game design document and experimenting with my own pixel art graphics with restrictions in stuff like colour palettes, it's actually making the all process alot of fun tbh
This is without a doubt the most underrated gaming channel... Love the content!
This videos are just amazing! You should have way more subscribers than that.
Excellent set of videos. I'm 41 and work in the industry; these videos are enlightening and very well made. Thank you for highlighting our struggle (or at least how the struggle used to be). :-).
Holly Shit, you are bleeding talent !!! . this is the most epic, produced show on youtube or anything thats on TV. How are you not working for Disney is beyond me.
Ha! :) Thanks... oh and about disney.. they actually work for me but that's top secret! ;)
what a fantastic channel, thanks for posting and developing i really enjoyed watching
Finally another upload! The quality amazes me everytime and is on par with everything "professionals" put out on either TV or Blu-ray or whatever.
Please keep up the good work! Love your stuff.
Thanks man!
A Blu Ray.. hmmm you can read my mind! ;)
A fun episode as always, I can't wait to have more. I'm getting more interested in the developement of the oldschool games thanks to you.
Great to hear! they were fun to make and I learned a lot too.
Love the use of Palaya Live in this!
i'm so happy glad and grateful to be born in a time where this magical phenomenon known as video games exist imagine being born in the 1600's i feel truly blessed to be alive in such a magical era
these videos are criminally underwatched
Can't stop watching... That hunger... It's so strooong! FEED ME! FEEEEEEEED ME! FEED ME WITH MORE! NOW!
Haha :)
Just followed the How video games were made from 1 to 3, and they are all so awesomely well done!
I love all your vids, thx for this !
Thanks! Great to hear you liked them :)
Oney plays just plugged this channel and so glad they did. Very awesome vids with great production hopefully others come here as well!
Amazing video man and is incredible how old game where made. It reminds me my old days when I had a Nintendo and I was with friends and family. Thanks for the amazing video man. 😍😍😍👍👍👍👍
The channel with the best presentation on RUclips and also awesome and informative narration!
Thanks for this awesome compliment!
The choice of music for this series is superb!
Thanks :) Adding and selecting the music is actually the part I enjoy the most :)
@@derk3933 I had to read your comment a couple times before I could make out what you were trying to say! :)
In my never videos I always add timestamps to my music credits, when I have the time I will add them to the description of this video as well. But feel free to ask the name for a specific song I always do my best to answers those questions.
Average like to dislike ratio is currently 99.786%! Deserved, great channel, great video!
Amazing series. I still cannot get over the quality of this channel!
These videos are insanely professional, how are you not more popular. Also, a very pleasant surprise to hear Corridors of Time at 6:31.
Thanks! :)
between this channel and Wrestling With Gaming, the future of video game documentaries is extremely bright
Thanks so much :) And I agree Wrestling with gaming makes great stuff!

Shane Norton What is wrong with your profile pic
krishnugget back from my old modeling days. I was 19 then, 33 now.
Shane Norton I’m pretty sure it’s against RUclips guidelines
krishnugget nah
I´am blown away by the presantation!
You and "Die Pixelspieler" are making some of the best Videos here on RUclips
Thanks so much!
Btw: I just checked out Pixelspieler, his stuff is amazing! The quality of his 3D renders is way better than mine!
It's always a joy whenever you guys release something new.
Great to hear! Thanks
The production values of this channel's eps is just INSANE! holy...
And great content to boot! truly a powerhouse
Nothing was worse as a kid knowing what game you wanted only to go to Toys R Us and not see a tag for the game. Actually having a tag and going to the little counter and find they actually didn't have it. Damn you Toys R Us!
Been waiting patiently for more content for some time now, more please !
I've uploaded a new video last week :)
RUclips should show this channel’s video as suggested much more. This is pure gold!
Phenomenally well done. This is such an excellent series. Thanks for all the hard work in producing these. I hope to see much more in the future.
So interesting I remember as a kid, thinking that video games were magic 💕
I was waiting for this video , Like all others it anded incredible , I just love the woman´s voice saying " splash Wave ".
Keep making this videos I will always see it.
Thanks from Brazil.
Thanks! and glad you liked the "splash wave" yell! It's actually from outrun 2006 and I added it in as an experiment :)
Very cool series. I learned a TON from it. Thank you so much. Very informative and entertaining
Learned a bunch of new stuff from this series. A lot of these behinds the scenes juicy details are helping me become more business savvy. Thanks guys.
As always, top notch information and quality. Gorgeous presentation. The videos we don't deserve on RUclips but all need!!
Incredible quality you put out with your videos, really good stuff!
Thanks!
Amazing quality videos, congratulations.
Thank you for making these! They are of the highest class, from music selection, editing, and narration, it is both informative and soothing to watch. Exceptional work!
That's so awesome to hear! Thanks!
Btw cool Jago avatar :) I played KI a ton in the arcades back in the day.
Great video Strafe, you make my day! And subtly showing the MSX logo at 9:01 😉.
And I mentioned Maze of Galious haha :)
This is becoming a totally awesome video series :-) I loved seeing that early beta SC IV footage!
Yeah I was pretty excited when I discovered that early Super Castlevania IV footage. Love that game and they made quite a lot of changes to push it to the next level.
I played it back then and I'm still playing it today. An absolute immortal classic, pun intended. Keep doing these videos man, your channel is a joy.
Great to see a new upload on this quality channel!
Thanks! Yeah 2 months passed since my last upload. Time flies when you're getting older :O
I can watch your stuff indefinitely, strafefox. I love your content so much.
That's really cool to hear! :)
Wow, the production quality of these videos are fantastic!
+ Fav for the Zero Wing ref alone!!!
"Take off every Zig! For great justice!" :)
Ah, what a nice surprise! Good stuff as always.
Thanks buddy! :)
how come this has only 12k views?? Solid research, interesting narration, really cool animations, art direction, etc. Loved it!! Congratulations for such an awesome job.
Jesus the amount of work involved, I guess games now take the same if not more.
Wow this series is amazing! 😱 Thank you so much for this! ✊🏻
"Selling 1 million copies was considered a hit in these days"
Rockstar: "And I took that personally"
oh it's awesome!
you produce a tv-quality show!
I enjoyed this mini series so much! Brought back memories from my childhood. Thanks for the videos. :-)
Wow. Very informative. Love the editing.
This deserves way more viewers. Amazing video series! Great job strafefox!
Thanks! :)
Amazing series. I found this channel today. Wish I had found it earlier.
Thanks :)
Already shared it on my fb page. Hope that is not a problem. I also want it to put it on my blog iotmonk.com and vsgupta.in . Is it a problem?
That's awesome! Yeah feel free to share it on your blog or facebook.
Thanks :)
THIS CHANNEL IS THE GREATEST
Great videos
Please keep up the good work.
Always look forward to a new video
Wow, I was literally listening to Timecop earlier too! All of these vids have been fantastic, love the quality that goes into all these. Awesome work Strafefox thank you! ✌
Thanks! awesome to hear
Timecop1983!! Nice music choices.
You are the best teacher!! I learned so much. Keep it up!
you deserve an Oscar for this series of videos!!!
Thanks! Ha that would be amazing, maybe I have to book a flight and attend the Oscars, you never know :)
It will be justice!
Amazing work buddy! I love this!!!!
This is a fantastic video. Really, really great stuff.
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Great quality as usual, thanks.
Awesome. Wish these videos were several hours long.
You guys are pure geniuses
Big thanks for this precious video too
Great series ! Very well done !
Great video.. Sad to see it end.
Thanks! :) And I'm still continuing this theme but with individual games
Great video. Loved the use of SC5's "Paya Paya" song. Now I know how old you might be, lol.
Haha Thanks! Yeah I'm old enough to remember a time before the Super Mario, the NES and the internet. A time when me and my friends were playing with our brand new Return of the Jedi figures :)
if you are an indie developer , nowdays is really hard to do marketing to a video game, theres tons and tons of games, and you will need a lot of money, because nowdays even left a comment about your game in a social media like yt is consided a spam comment. its very frustrating that nobody even know/play your game and you dont get any feedback
Amazing series.
This was such a fascinating video
Amazing. Thanks guys,
This is so freaking good! OMG!
As always man, FANTASTIC video! I learned a lot. I never cease to marvel at the amount of 3D work you put into these videos. Amazing.
One comment... When are you going to start rendering your videos in 1080p? :)
Thanks my friend! 1080p ohh my computer started to tremble with fear when I read your question..ha
Yeah the main thing that holds me back is the increased amount of rendertime and resources.
The more complicated shots can already take me 5 hours to render for 10seconds of video :o
My next 2 vids are already in production, but I will give it a try (..quiet Yoda :P ) in the future!
Briljant, as usual.
Thanks so much! :)
Your channel gives me hope
Yea amazing work as usual!!!
Really appreciate your informative videos. Thank you!
Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks and I will do my best :)
This was a cool series.
Movie games from the 16 bit era. Do an episode on that. Jurassic Park, Last Action Hero, Terminator 1&2, Alien 3, Cutthroat Island, True lies, Demolition Man, Ghost Busters, Cliffhanger.... there may be more. Cant think of any more off the type of my head.
I'm glad I found these videos you got good content
Amazing Video
thank you
Ahhh that 2 year exclusivity makes sense why Aladdin on Snes and Genesis were two completely different games.
I miss these episodes,
I wish StrafeFox splash wave would come back. I did love that Symphony of the Night episode
Thanks! Btw: I'm currently working on several new episodes :)
Fantastic job!
Thanks!
Nice series! :D
Great feature!
Very informative video. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks so much for the sub! :)
aesthetic
Thanks so much! :)
Can't wait to see the next episode!
Maybe you can do a Mini-Series about the System engineering / developing process, the technical details in the previous episode were awesome for an IT Nerd like me :D
Thanks and great suggestion! Although I'm going to focus on development of the games.
I'll certainly keep it mind!
Especially the design of the old consoles meant a tremendous choice between different genres the hardware is most suitable for. Fast CPU clock speeds fit action oriented genres like Shmups or the fast platforming in Sonic, the sound chip also defines the kind of music the system is capable of, so the Mega Drive got more heavy metal and bass music instead of the more ambient/instrumental tracks on the Super Nintendo. Maybe you can make it like a little comparison between SNES and Mega Drive architecture and explain some choices made because of hardware limitations while comparing multiplatform titles? I love old system designs, they show how much creativity and passion the programmers needed to bring amazing effects like the blast processing of the Mega Drive DACs and VDP through the DMA controller :D
Awesome Series
Thanks! Cool to hear :)
This episode literary blew me away. Amazing!
