      1 gen old doesn't mean retro. It is still modern. Maybe after the next Xbox comes you could call it retro. But I doubt even then.

    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.

    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!

    5:07 There are multiple wires in one cable so one wire goes to the tv then any others are routed to the power supply to power the console & the connector would have at least 3 connections one for the tv one for ground & one for power which makes it really easy to make one box for both parts possibly to save space in the console

    My dad had that sears model but the controller didn't dismount. The reverse pong as you called it was basically pretty accurate discription. You score by letting the ball go through the hole. The game with the adjustable wall was a one player game.

  • @arashimiyazawa8165
    @arashimiyazawa8165 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    You don't need the fork. Just strip the plastic off the wire a little bit, and wrap the cable around the screw that would hold the fork to the television. The forks fell off our old 2600 back in the day and that's how we had it hooked up. The forks are just there to make it easier, so long as the wire is connected to the screw on the TV in some way, it will work. You can also buy replacement forks and crimp them onto the ends of the wire.

      Wouldn't really rate it highly myself. Did get to thinking of my favourites though and I'd say (in no particular order) they'd be: Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle, Wizard of Oz, and Game Glitches.
      Edit: Also Sega Activator Interactor Menacer. Proof that James's best days are not behind him in my opinion.

      Nope. Flooding the market with so many game systems, especially bad ones, was what caused the Video Game Crash of 1983.

      +Kayfabe Broken That doesn't mean it doesn't suck ass. And why did you post 2 very similar comments. I know it's not a TH-cam glitch because they have some slight differences, like you couldn't use the edit button.

      back then we had no castlevania, mega man, mario, sonic, or touhou, we had pong and some primitive graphic arcade games, at least people tried to make it look like something, pong and breakout are great time killers and tetris reduces PTSD (though tetris was 1984)
