Dude he was the guy I respected the most through this whole interview of the evolution of gaming. He brought emotional perception to the gaming world not just entertainment through machines. Atari did start the video game revolution but Miyamoto created a whole new concept of gaming. He was like a philosopher of gaming. fyi I play a bunch of ps3 games now but grew up with nintendo and always had a passion for the storys.
Everybody says Pong was the first video game, but in actuality, video games date back nearly 30 years earlier. In 1947, Thomas T. Goldsmith, Jr. and Estle Ray Mann filed a patent for a device they called "the Cathode ray tube Amusement Device", equipped with an analog stick that allowed players to control a dot on-screen to simulate firing missiles at fixed targets.
It is considered that the first ever graphical computer game was made in 1952 by a man named A.S dougles the game was a version of Tic-Tac-Toe, the game itself was programmed on a EDSAC caccum-tube computer, which had a cathode ray tube
Wow... just seeing how far video games have come, is just purely amazing. We now have motion capture, facial capture and loads of other stuff. Video games never seize to amaze me, just look at Metal Gear Solid V, Red Dead Redemption, The Last of Us and other titles. Just...WOW. Just look at Legend of Zelda!!!
Who can forget the incredible achievements of the British software houses? Sure, Atari, Sierra On-Line, MicroProse and Activision made it big in the 80s, but in a smaller country there were the big names of System 3, Ocean, US Gold, Gremlin, Sensible Software, Psygnosis, Codemasters, The Bitmap Brothers and Core Design!
It was BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), most programs and videogames at that time were written in BASIC. The compiler was already built in the computer's chipsets. Quite easy program language to learn too. Not so powerful as languages of today, though.
Actually the ID software doc I mentioned early is just one episode of a series called "All Your History Are Belong to Us". Excellent video game documentary series, I just watched the ID Software and Halo episodes and they do not dissapoint! I highly recommend them and the series in general.
What program were the Oliver twins using to write those games? Did they make their own compilers too? It seems like according to this documentary, they got a computer like commodore 64 or something similar, but what kind of program could you get for a computer like that in those days that could read the popular video game programming languages at the time?
I remember my dad not shutting up about all the games he used to play when he was a kid. He'd just got out f Cuba, so that was probably mind blowing shit to him.
No no, actual documentaries, I loved learning about migration patterns of wildebeest and how lion take care of our cubs when I was little. Now it's just stupid reality-ish shows
Really? Well maybe old gamers need to respect modern games and gamers. I grew up in the 80's / 90's and although all these games were pioneering a lot of them were crap. I played games all the way upto 2005 and I can tell you the games only got better with time, a lot better, a lot more engaging and a whole lot more fun. Young gamers won't respect you if you don't respect them, it's as simple as that.
Hmmm, idk, dont take this the wrong way but i think the dino is one of them things when you think to yourself, i dont think this has potential to make money, im one of the few who would actually enjoy this. If it surface,it would only be for PC (not sure what kinda gamer you are) but as far as the xbox and playstation community go, its FPS and secondly its RPG.but thats a far second place.
No you're wrong!!!! Baer invented the odyssey that had table tennis but Bushnell before it invented computer space and before computer space there was Space war invented by Bushnell.
Id, Apogee, Cyan, and LucasArts didn't exactly help innovate the consumer games market up until Nintendo pretty much established it as an industry. Id helped innovate FPSes and LucasArts and Cyan laid the ground rules for the art game itself, but Nintendo and Atari were the trendsetters. also this is meant to be a time-wasting documentary - of course the information is not as in depth as I want it and um yeah this was made in 1996 if I'm not to be mistaken by adding the math from Ralph Baer's legal action aftermath ("20 years have passed")
I dont get what you would really do in the game that has to do with dinosaurs to make it appealing. What could it possibly be about, unless its shooting them. You can have a game about digging them up and what not. What would you suggest? There is just no storyline i can think of that has to do with dinos.no one wants a game like that.very few at best.just an opinion.
What the fuck. They totally skipped over the first home video game console, the magnavox odyssey. Supposedly that was one to the major inspirations for pong.
They left out so much history in this documentary I don't even know where to begin. Intellevision, Colecovision, Atari 800 series, Apple II, Sega, Playstation, XBox, the first person shooter revolution started by Wolfenstein 3-D and Doom etc. I'm assuming this was made in the early 2000s judging by the Mustang so perhaps the XBox had not taken off quite yet but still...piss poor documentary.

I was born in 1999... so it's interesting to see how videogames were before I was around. I first played videogames on my dad's sega genesis :)

It may be a reconstruction or not, but I like the footage of the first Pong machine in their local tavern!
Great video! Thank you for posting it
An awesome documentary
this pretty cool and fast an' also fun to watch. this is the best documentary i have seen yet.
great documentory
very cool docie
I remembered Asteroids was the first Atari game i played and it was awesome :)
Interesting....thanks for posting
cool video i liked it some stuff i did not know
I was fortunate to play a lot of these games on the commodore and Amstrad in the 80's
amazing
I remember having a Game & Watch handheld console back in the 80s with Donkey Kong.

I whould sell my soul if I could be Adam Bushwells and Shiguru Miyamoto's grandson.I would be listening to there stories and documents all the time.

I played tetris as a fourteen year old, I played it as my ex girlfriend was trying to bug me at work. It is the best game!!!! and I'm an American!!!
oh cool, I didn't know those old games were written in BASIC, thx for the answer.
this video was done pretty good
14:00 my favorite insert coin part!
I like how the rip ofs of ideas tend to go far with success than the originals

actually there was a game that came out before that called tennis for two, most video game historians believe that was the first videogame
The Spot Tavern is the next town from my high school.
how much pixel were they using during that time 1 or 2 pixels and how much bits
and then came XBOX 360 and Playstation 3 the Peek of gaming consoles
miyamoto :D what a likeable dude
where is this on dvd?
Miyamoto is freakin amazing

cool
Actually Steve Russell is the Father of Video Games. He created Spacewar! in 1962.
Interesting.
18:38 That kid looks like, he had to reboot and play the ET game, for the 3rd time.
I remember my dad not shutting up about all the games he used to play when he was a kid. He'd just got out f Cuba, so that was probably mind blowing shit to him.
And that's exactly what we did in the 80's.
28:16 its a fucking Nintendo DD design,30 years ago!
Just look at that sprint logo
Atari did not make the first home console with interchangeable cartridges, that was the Fairchild Channel F.
does anybody know the synth track of this docu ? Sound lovely
In another 5 years the N64 will be... 10-20 for the Gamecube.
we've come a long way
yup
space war on his lab oscilloscope thing 10 years before either of these two
great vid! but the first games weren't by atari, it was the magnavox odyssey (or brown box)
oh wakim good teacher
Ralph Baer didn't create pong, he created the Magnavox Odyssey. Al Alcorn created pong.
No..... because those aren't old enough to need documentaries made about them.
Those Brit nerds are the prime reason why you should not bully the nerds.
why SEGA was not mentioned in this documentary?
real gamers play games, doesn't matter what device to use to play them
Incorrect also... The first video game made was OXO and the first game system, if not produced in large quantities was the Brown Box...
*we would all still be in the stone age.
Nerds and Geeks for the win!!!
i agree but that really does not have anything to do with video games however thanks for spreading the truth! :)
I remember when Animal Planet was actually educational too.... :(
Miyamoto=Genius :)
Sorry I mistaked I ment Russel
No no, actual documentaries, I loved learning about migration patterns of wildebeest and how lion take care of our cubs when I was little. Now it's just stupid reality-ish shows
Pong is the first home console game, but not the first video game.
Willy Higinbotham was the first to make the pong game!!
we've come a loooong way babayba! (takes hit of cigar)
God bless the british for saving video games.
Brandon Boogers No YOU!!
+AnonymousRDy yup saving it then nearly ruining it again XD
the god of games
Without Nerds we were all still in the stoneage^^. GO NERDS!
Anyone here come from Mr Loch?

Does anyone know if this had already been translated into french ?
ET crushed my little 2 year old heart. First rage quit of my life! Freakin' hate that game. lol
whats the music at 23:00?
That was shown at about 1989

actually Fairchild f channel was the first real cartridge not Atari
13:45 Arcades are evil. Damn true
I don't get it...how is it possible to learn to code a game from scratch BY yourself!?
To me it seems impossible...
"Adissy" lmfao
28:20
Well, you can touch electricity. It just wouldn't be safe to do so
interesting, but the vid completely left out id software practically inventing fps games with games such as catacombs 3d, wolfenstein 3d, and doom
also quake

ATARI FTW!

MIYAMOTO!!!
Nintendo 64i s borderline, GC on the other hand....
So much information missing...
No famicom, the Japanese NES
And n64 games were being made at the time and GameCube didn't exist
WRONG The father is William Higginbotham the creator of tennis for two
its not tennis, it is pong and later on called ping pong.
They stopped it right before sega. WHY!!!!!!
Gentlemen, we are on our way to the matrix.
nope there where more video game systems before pong. look it up
why was i waiting for sega after nintendo?
23:21
Look how buggy your code is now :(
(looking at F1 2010 - 2012)
sorry, just raging at all these companies, seeing how they've fallen

ZELDA WOOT WOOT
17:40
Look what you guys have done now! Why did you have to create Activision!? D:
Activision call of duty o_0
