    My dad was telling me about how his family used to own a pong console back when he was a kid. He was describing it to me, saying it had four game modes. Tennis, Hockey, Handball, and Skeet shooting. He said that it had mechanical buttons to change the game modes that would light up and told me that you could pop out the controllers. I was thinking to myself, "that sounds so familiar. Where have I heard about this before?" I went back to this video to look for it, and lo and behold, 6:27 showed up and that was it! The Colorsport VIII. I showed some screenshots to my dad and he confirmed it. That was the one. Thanks for helping me out by making this video, James!

      Did you ask him why the game modes only changed the color? lol

      Had this same thing happen, albeit it was a different one of them (I believe my father had the Sears one, if memory serves)

    This will forever be one of my favorite episodes. Basically, episodes that involve hardware always end up being in my top for AVGN.

    Most houses back in the 70s/80s were even older so the electricity wasn't stable, you had a higher risk of damaging small electronics plugged into the wall if the power ever had problems, which is why almost every piece of technology from that era has a battery option.

      Not only that, but old houses typically only had a single outlet in an entire room and the tv or lamp would usually be using it. lol

    The PlayStation 2 is as old to us now, as the NES was when James Rolfe started AVGN.

    This was the last episode before the series went on a brief hiatus because James was dealing so much stress from doing two episodes a month for Gametrailers and they were totally okay with this hiatus and having him make one episode a month

    Seeing the major contrast of classic to modern really makes you sit back and reflect on how far we have come in gaming.... by the way wonder if AVGN plan a special for the 40th anniversary of home gaming next year.

    People here saying that xbox 360 look so old and the graphics is evolving so fast nowdays...actually not as you think. If you take early xbox 360 games like gears of war or bioshock (12-13 years old) , sure we took some steps ahaed, but not even closer as those games themself compare with games came out 12-13 years earlier (so we are talking about 1993 circa). I mean...the evolution between late 80s/early90s and mid00s is mindblowing.

    • @mancubwwa
      @mancubwwa 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TBH if you go back another 13 years back it is even more mindblowing. Remember, 1993 is a year that Doom came out. And I would say that Doom to Bioshock, damn even Doom to Doom Eternal is still less of a gap than Atari 2600 to Doom.

      Tbh the some 7th gen games still fit in perfectly with 8th gen. Graphics haven't improve all that much only better lighting, effects, draw distance, textures, that's it and I doubt 9th gen graphics would also take a big leap the last time graphics took a big leap was 6th gen to 7th gen
