    Chris, this is one of my favorite series to watch. When I found this in my news feed for uploaded videos, i was excited to see the next installment for History of Video Games. Looking forward for part 8 and other future installments. Congrats man

      its nice to see someone on here being happy for a new episode rather than bitching about how long it took to be released. also im a huge fan of the history of video games series too :)

    • @tmobile2120
      @tmobile2120 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      the reason i dont complain much cause It takes alot of time to write the script, collect the game play footage, videos of him explaining stuff, and audios during the gameplay.

      Irategamer Thank you for taking your time to put out this content. It really is worth the wait to see the work you put out that is polished from your first video to now. You will always have my support as a viewer

    • @tmobile2120
      @tmobile2120 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Irategamer And in truth, I can relate what you went through. In college, I took a video film class and it was hell to figure out a good script. Not to mention getting the footage for the video. Then editing it to fit the video, along with getting the proper music to fit the video as well. And you were a testament to that fact when you stated it in one of your behind the scenes video about how it wasn't easy to set things up like you wanted. But you managed to make it work. You gave me ideas on how to approach stuff just from watching your videos. I know I am acting like a big fan, but I am a big fan of your work. Here's to many future years Chris

    • @SaintCyrX
      @SaintCyrX 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Fox Mc Loud but for what? every 30 seconds there was a "joke" about the game hitting IG with something.... pointless

    • @The80s8BitGuy
      @The80s8BitGuy 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      MrSmapdi I agree in this way. The Irate Gamer has become a clone of the simpsons or family guy with the jokes. What I think personally what he's aiming for in a way is that he makes it so that he can be able to show it to everyone, without it being to offensive. But at the same time, you can tell he's working hard on these videos. What I would prefer that he do is that sort of have little jokes sprinkled into the script so the viewer can understand them, and laugh at them on his own time! Not have entire segments just for ONE joke.

    • @Algahiem
      @Algahiem 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fox Mc Loud The main problem with Chris Bores is that his efforts is often misplaced. His watching him attempt humour is like watching a blind man attempt to fire an unloaded machine gun.

    Great video man. Love how that small part of history is included into your series. Definitely something that other documentaries usually miss when doing the history of video games. I've watched every single part of your History of VGs and from what I'm seeing, this is looking more fun and fun as you get closer to the 1980's.

    • @pixel1358
      @pixel1358 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Robin Wise Here's another fast fact: The reason Space Invaders speeds up over time was because as you kill the "invaders" theres a lot less action happening on screen at once. Therefore the game's processor doesn't have to work as hard. Causing the game to speed up as you kill the "invaders". But when all the "invaders" are present on screen, it causes the game to lag. And runs at a speed in which we call "normal speed" (excuse my "redundantness").

    I had no recollection that RCA ever produced arcade cab. games. I do recall going to some local arcades (including some at the local small kiddie amusement parks here in LI NY)
    in the early to mid 70s and at that point there were even some early arcade machines that were using what seemed to be animation loops and films to show the action, including
    a famously bloody and violent game called Shark Hunt or Devil Ray, or somesuch, where you had to try to peg and harpoon the sharks and rays and if you succeeded the film would run
    an image of the beast being harpooned and bleeding out. It was a bit disturbing! I think I recall playing Fire Truck but it was frustrating. I loved the Atari cartridge Sky Diver for
    some reason, a lot later. Sea Wolf 2 was a great game even though it's not that exciting, it was cool stepping up on that huge cabinet and looking into the periscope.

    Sea Wolf II Arcade Cabinet looks just like a soda fountain from restaurants where you pour your own drinks in the cup! The way it looks it's really an Arcade machine but it looks just like a soda fountain though! That would be a cool machine an arcade machine and soda fountain combination. Something for you to drink like soda or water while playing a video game! That would be a cool idea!
