Underrated channel, amazing editing and research, I can tell how much effort you put into your videos
Thank you so much!
This is a gem of a channel ! thanks for the uploads recently love your vids so much
Thank you!! :D
I always thought the Apple II version was the original :o
Incredible video and great editing!
Your videos Are Insanely informative ✌️
Thank you!
@@Nellooo as are your osrs vids ey ;) keep it up bro
Not striking a deal doesn't mean you lose all rights as the copyright holder. The problem is that they did it on goverment propperty on government time/pay. So really, that first school actually owns the game and could've sued the dev for not only deleteing it/ but transfering it without explicite permission.
This video is great.. Deserves way more attention!
Thank you! :D
Another banger nello, have a comment for the algorithm. Maybe they'll start pushing this channel more soon
Thank you!! I hope so too!
I can't believe how sleezy rich corporations are....
your channel deservers so much more than it actually has. can see how much effort u put in ur videos. thx for the updates on everything
Thank you so much!!
Excited to see your shit hit one millie. I believe in you 👍
Great video 👍 I'm glad that the three initial 'devs' have received the recognition they deserve (and some benefits) because the most important thing about their game isn't the money but _how they wrote an educational program that kids actually learnt from!_ There were thousands of educational programs that came & went during OT's rise & proliferation, but clearly these three guys captured lightning-in-a-bottle with the underlying game design. Brilliant! 👌
it always makes my day to see you upload
Thank you!
just recently started watching the Valve leak video about 5 minutes ago and 1 minute into this video I'm a subscriber. Incredibly well done videos that deserve more than whatever they're currently worth. Thank you for the dedication and I sincerely hope that your channel reaches the MASSES as it should already have done.
Thank you so much!! I hope so too :D
When I was in elementary school, the school had MECC educational games. The school didn't have Oregon Trail, though, so I always associate MECC with dancing bears.
Coming from your other channel. Didn't know about this one until this morning lol. Liked subbed. great detail on a game that I currently have the rom on my phone because I was so addicted to it back in the 90s 😅
I got netflix, i got crunchy roll etc. You get the idea, but ill never be as entertained as i am watching your content. Good shit bro, keep up the great work.
That really means a lot, tysm!! :D
Lol the text in the background at 6:25
great videos 👍
we can't blame them for not signing a contract for their game with Mecc. computers were at their infancy and they didn't know about the mega potential and commercial success of computer softwares in the future. they just wanted to help the company and do their job
now this was the type of content i was waiting for...
Holy shoot you are super underrated
They also helped make spin-offs with different themes 1 prime example that got me interested would be Organ Trail: Director's Cut which is a zombie apocalypse variant of the game.
Amazing video 😄
It's obvious it was this guy's fault for not making a deal with mecc for their game but hell if I was him I'd be striking the walls with my head even to this day.
Thats not how copyright works. it's because it was done on company time/on company hardware and it was government owned. They owe you nothing. Had it been a private business and been worked on outside of work hours, just puttin git on hardware doesn't constitute waiving all legal rights as a copyright holder.
@@OldSchoolDudeGaming Sure but the video says that he made a deal with mecc for porting his game into their system without imposing any condition, he could basically ask for a loyalty for his game and get rich and he didn't because he was naive and nobody thought the impact that his game was going to have later so yes it was his fault for believing that mecc was going to recognize his job after seeing the success of the game.
Proud Minnesotan just here to represent the best state!
You look WAAAAY different than I imagined XD
Honestly, I like this kind of content over your OSRS content and I like your OSRS content anyways.
So let me get this straight,a few teachers went above and beyond to make something nice for the betterment of the country, and rather than encouraging the Devs and striking a more favourable deal, and outright doing a right thing, the gov basically took their program and not only exploited them, but also actively suppressed any involvement of the people who worked on it.
Wait that isn't a RuneScape character talking to me wtf
I am not American but i see that game use in serial film. " Person of interest"
For a second I didn't know it was you in front of the camera.
Ngl I like this channel
Glad to hear that :D
I actually live in Minnesota (Lakeville) never heard of the game but im only 12 sooo heres some fun facts: Mall of America is the only one in the world and has Nickelodeon universe (which is like a amusement park), they also plan to build a GAGANTIC water park. Minnesota zoo is turning there monorail into a walkway. there was also a great hotel and amusement a park witha train to take you there. its now i beach but it has a sign about its past. it also has VallyFair, i recomend going there if your in Minnesota (for vacation or for family anything really)
i forgor the name of the beach
Ahh yes, life
wowowo who is this handsome man
😳😳😳
This is just proof computers were made for videogames. XD
I wish I could earn millions, or billions. Damn, they got ripped off so bad.
goodmorning usa i got a feeling that its gonna be a wonderful day :)
Good Morning! I think so too! :D
Good morning for me since I’m in the uk
@@Nellooo thanks alot :) this made my day
Are monsters real and kill you or not because I’m scared 😱
I hated this game growing up, I always died first, waay before everyone else.
I'm too stoned for tNice tutorials, I'll be back later...
How do i play it
No me
God
Yo
Howdy!
Stolen property give them their money
now that runescape has gone woke it's good this this is branching out
im a kad
1000000000 = 0, logic
Just another reason Minnesota sucks, especially Minneapolis, should’ve paid them something.
