Thank you !!!! - เกม
I can see myself being 70 years old, and still a gamer.
World going to be busy for years. Wish I can go back to the time you posted this.
When Sony released the PS2, it was the cheapest DVD player you could buy back in the day.
likewise ps3 was cheapest BLu ray
BACK IN THE DAY
if you actually used it to watch DVD movies the disk reader had to be fixed after a few weeks
Some people mention how it's strange that Tony Hawk, a pro skateboarder, is hosting this documentary but you gotta think, in 2004 who else are you gonna get that has somewhat the same amount of global recognition who plays and also has his own video games.
I had this exact thought, lol.
Maybe someone who has knowledge on the subject? He's s bad narrator.
not to mention his first dayjob was as the editor for the US turbo grafx 16 commercials.
Its perfect its oozing mid 2000s all thats missing is nickelodeon slime pouring down on tony at the end
Yeah, it's the internet... anybody can complain about anything
I can still remember Christmas Morning seeing the big box under the tree. Dad made us sit down and eat breakfast first before we could open the big gift. So imagine getting up opening all the presents then being told the big one will have to wait until after we eat! Well it was sure worth it, a ColecoVision!! Then he made a treasure map of the house and hid a bunch of games all over the house. Then we hooked it up, and had to wait until my Dad was done "Testing it" 1 hour later it was finally our turn!
I love this story, great memories
Your dad should've been in the "Back To The Future" sequels.
Your dad sounds like a cool guy!
I wasn't even alive for any of these but, I still feel like I need to show respect to these older consoles and companies. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the stuff I do today.
I LOVE documentaries like this.
JCB
So much slick editing lol
Check out G4 Icons
This was actually a very detailed look the history of games. I like how they didn't shy away from the PC gaming side of things. Most video game documentaries just talk about consoles. Hawk did a pretty good job too. I was surprised.
Still remember the first time I saw Donkey Kong in an arcade. It was at my local Putt-Putt. They literally got it in that day. They pulled the crate out on the floor with about 2 dozen people standing around watching, then opening it and setting it up. The second they turned it on, the small audience was immediately intrigued. It was literally nothing like the games of that time which either were maze games or space shooters. Plus it was so colorful, and it sounded great. About 15 minutes later, practically the entire arcade was surrounding the machine. I finally got my turn, and was instantly hooked. My dad, who LOATHED video games was actually curious and played it himself. Even he was hooked. About a week or two later, it seemed like everybody got a DK machine, and there were always huge crowds around it.
"We can't even imagine where video games will be in 10 years"
LOL
Shit is getting real in 2020 with the PS5 and Xbox series X expected to play everything at a minimum of 4k 60FPS
Ready player one maybe
who knows
@@treasuretrails cringe
one of the better documetarys in that it dosent dwell on the "Video game crash" And acknoledges the fact that people just started playing games on commodore 64s instead of ataris.
From computers, to arcades, to consoles, to personal computers, then handhelds, and then cell phones and now virtual reality in 2016! Man have video games come far.
"hyper-realistic games like... the Sims... and halo"
inactive account - read description more years go by the funnier it gets
There is soooo much good music in this documentary. Really impressed.
I remember this coming on TV and rushing to find an blank VHS tape to record it :-P was an amazing watch
Thank you for posting this! I have this on VHS and never got to transfer it! I used to watch this all the time!
I remember seeing this on TV as a kid. Glad I found it again.
Also no mention of TECMO BOWL in 1987. It was wayyyy before Madden as great as Madden was and still is
vinnykster Tecmo Super Bowl is my all time favorite. Amazing amazing game.
Lol, I love at the end of this, they're like "What's Nolan working on now? Just some touch-screen match-three garbage. Whatever, who knows what the future of gaming will be." Oh, if they only knew.
I wish there would have been more on the GameBoy..... that thing changed my life.
The 70’s ,80’s and 90’s was the revolutionary age in the computer world.
I was born in 86 and I wouldnt change that for anything ever. Only people who grew up before the digital age can truly appreciate the evolution of videogaming and technology. I dont envy these kids now who are practically born with an ipad or phone. Back in the day you couldnt simply read about what games will come out and when unless you subscribed to something, so when you saw a tv commercial for lets say mortal kombat, it would blow your mind that much more cuz you had no idea it was coming out, just like movie trailers before the movie starts arent exciting anymore cuz you can watch them months beforehand on youtube now. I miss that kind of excitement....
JOKE'S ON YOU i know, i grew up with a comodore 128, then master system, and when i got a pc in the 90's it was 160mhz lol those were the days. i miss those games on cassette that took 30-45 mins to load.
I was 10 years old when the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in North America. Down the street from my cousins house this kid (with the same name as me) had a BB gun, which, of course made him the coolest kid on earth. Dying to play with it me and my cousin walked to his house and low and behold, sitting in his living room was the NES. He was playing Duck Hunt with the Zapper and I was instantly jealous as it was a spot on port of the game that I loved to play at the arcade (with the barrel of the "gun" like 1 inch away from the screen of course lol.) Then, he popped in Super Mario Brothers. [dramatic pause] It's sounds funny saying it now but the graphics blew me away. I almost could not believe what I was seeing with my own eyes. Screw the BB gun I wanted that console! I was unemployed at the time but soon had a new full time occupation: hounding my parents all day and every day to get me a Nintendo, which they did the following Christmas. You know, come to think of it, a lot of people that I'm still very good friends with to this day I met through our mutual admiration of gaming. Thanks for posting this well done documentary. I enjoyed it a great deal.
The top loader concept was always the most reliable. The "toaster" loading concept was only in America and it was a BAD idea. That's why all the cartridge based systems after were only top loaders.
I for one am so happy I got to grow up during that golden age of video gaming, to this day I still prefer that era of games over the current stuff. For some reason they just feel funner to play.
can't believe we used to watch tv programs in 240p
+Colin Sevier yep. all though our family did have cable in the house all i had in my room was a 13 inch black and white knob tv that picked up like 3 channels. times were tough
Wish we still did.
I always go 480 unless possible to go lower.
You mean 480i
it would've been 480i on TV, just that this TH-cam upload is 240p.
Thank You for this upload!
Great video. All the best arcade games came out from 79 to 82
David Crane you chewed up a shit ton of my teenage years with your awesome games. Thank you.
I remember what it was like back in the 90's when Sony Playstation was the hottest video game system. I started saving for a Playstation when I was in 5th grade.. took me till I was in 6th grade since my allowances were only $5 a week. Totally worth it :)
You act like that wasn’t a good deal. That’s a nice sized decent allowance your parents gave you! Mine basically said, “This is your list of chores to do every week. Once in a blue moon, we might give you a few bucks as ‘allowance’ for it, but you’ll do the chores whether or not you get paid.” Lol. I was lucky to get $5 bucks a month.
It was because of that that my best friend and I started a project together where we’d do _EXTRA_ chores for her family and my family for money. A lot of it consisted of pulling weeds. Essentially, I was a good lil’ slave for my folks with how many chores they got me to do haha.
Crazy how video games evolved from a dot to full on interactive movies .
Indeed!
Now at upcoming games like unrecord
2004 wow comes out and changed the mmo scene forever...
Yeah… It’s pretty funny how this concentrated mostly on every quest, because this documentary was made the same year that World of Warcraft came out (in fact, WoW came out at the end of 2004 to boot).
Very informative , whole lotta thanks for the post tbh
I was 7 when I got an Atari for Christmas in 1980, it was around that time I got to go to all the old arcades and play all the old school games. I had the time of my life. It wasn't until the NES came out when I was blown away by home console gaming. The NES & SNES were my two favorite eras for gaming.
Gaming has become even more of an obsession in the almost 15 years since this documentary was made. Have PS5 coming out soon and this year a finally actually playable Virtual Reality was released and will be perfected over these next few years. So excited for VR flying and racing and FPS and adventure games! Flying military aircraft in VR is going to be so awesome! And Im so looking forward to a Fallout VR game, similar to Fallout 4 with all the building options. I love Fallout. You can do exploring or adventuring or FPS or building or whatever you feel like doing that day, and it has a super fun story to go with it. One of the best game series ever made in my opinion, especially Fallout 4 :-)
I'm proud to be a long-time huge gamer.
Even though it was an hour and half long video, I feel they left a lot of details out.
George Plimpton was a famous sports announcer. they hired him for their ads to promote their sports games initially. it actually was a success
After watching this gonna go play Red Dead Redemption 2 in 4K on Xbox One X god damn I love the future of gaming!
Baer still had the patent on the idea so it WASN'T fair game. That's why they were sued by Baer. Bushnell said it himself,they were a bunch of engineers. They couldn't conceive of something as simple as table tennis. That's why Bushnell wasn't impressed when he saw the Odyssey. It was too simple. However,he knew there was something to it because he immediately left and started working on Pong. They straight up STOLE the idea which is why Bushnell is so reluctant to bring up the Odyssey. He doesn't want to direct attention to where it truly all began.
Somewhere James Rolfe is laughing about E.T
Imagine if instead of Night Trap, they complained about Dr Jekyll, and it became cult classic big seller.
I enyoed this video much much more than Video games movie... It directly showed what's important for not too long and without lots of cutscenes it showed much more content :) YAY !
Watched The Whole Thing. Great Movie! Good Job Tony!
42:02 .... Thats the moment things went downhill!
You're stupid...
+Freedom Music you're*
Conex Xenon Thanks for the correction I fixed it! @GrammerPolice
No problem, guess the irony went right over your head
if this documentary was released now (2013) the ending would be VERY VERYdifferent
"Global obsession" Only focuses on America >.>
Also presented by a skateboarder :S
+Larry Bundy Jr Funny seeing you here Larry xD
+Larry Bundy Jr dont you know america is the centre of the world!
hosted by Tony Hawk... I'm out
Always curious how the EU market was since it felt like such America and Japan focused industry. I mean now there are good dev company in EU but back than it was just America and Japan.
Well America does have the WORLD Series Baseball, with countries including the USA and, uhm..... err ...... oh yeah ......... I see your point! ;)
I have this on DVD, and I remember sadly watching the part where the Dreamcast "bombed." The thing was it wasn't a complete failure. I heard it did well in the beginning only to fail when the PS2 was launched a couple years later. The PS2 had everything that the Dreamcast had, but it also had something the Dreamcast did not have, and that was the ability to play DVDs.
The Dreamcast's biggest problem was that it was just a tad bit too far ahead of its time. It had new technologies which cost much more back then than it does now. On top of that, usually when a system introduces something new, it's more likely to fail mostly because some of its developers and/or consumers don't completely understand it yet.
The dvd player was only one factor, the Ps2 had so much more going for it that the dreamcast didn't, The dreamcast had a lot of arcade style games, and was severely lacking in what the hot new thing was, narrative driven, open world, cinematic games with intricate story lines. Games like: Metal gear solid 2, gta 3, Hitman 2, Max Payne. Also the PS2 was wildly anticipated based on the success of the first Playstation which sold 100 million units.
@@southsidesaiyan8641 You're right. I heard a while back that SEGA has always been so big with arcades that they had been bringing the arcade experience to their home consoles. Now interestingly enough, by mere coincidence, I became a SEGA fan in the early summer of 2001, around the same time their mascot Sonic had his tenth anniversary, just months after the Dreamcast was discontinued. I would indeed later find out that I could not have picked a more interesting time to become a SEGA and Sonic fan.
Can't see what video games would look like 10 years from now?!?! I 'm watching this video, a video that was made 10 years ago! Welcome to Now!
That's a very good point. My grandmother plays games on her phone. My 56-year-old father plays games on his phone and laptop. I grew up with all the mainstream consoles and so did all my friends. (We were rich kids.) That was the 8 and 16-bit era. And even then with all those options plus PCs our parents would rarely play anything outside of Tetris. But now they've all come around. Everyone plays at least one game. Farmville, Candy Crush, Tetris, something.
46:13 Mystery House was the pioneer for Adventure games. Right now, this genre is more successful in Japan, for example, visual novels is a sub-genre of adventure games.
Think about this. People who grew up playing Doom ended up going on shooting sprees in Grand Theft Auto III.
Still going strong playing 5 as well. Game on for life!

Tomb Raider was not available only for the Playstation; the PS, DOS, and Saturn versions were all released in the U.S. on November 14, 1996.
I'm suprised there's no mention of Atari's "Adventure" which was hugely innovative in the early 80s.
BRING BACK OLD GAMES!
Great show
God tier editing
great footage
felt like watching this cause the xbox one and ps4 are coming. Really makes you think where games are at now.
Next YTP idea right here
Don t forget Drangons lair ,is the first laser disc video game.a revolutionary way of play and see a video game .
i remember going to the arcade and paying a few bucks to play the ps1, the 3do, or the jaguar. I remember being blown away by the graphics. All i had was a super nintendo. BAck in the good ole days when they were measured in bits. 8bits 16bits 32bits 64 bits....i just thought ever new generation would have double the bits
nice documentary
i love this era of games;im lucky to have been born in 92 and i got to experience almost every single one these generations,it was an interesting life of games and i enjoy gaming to this very day being a wee millennial does make it kind of hard to make friends but that doesn't stop me from making them
You’re joking. What a massive delusion! You didn’t get to experience shit. You were 8 years old in the year 2000! Lmfao.
I was born in 1975. I graduated high school one year after you were born, June of 1993. I _ACTUALLY_ got to experience everything as it was coming into our homes. Atari, Nintendo, PlayStation, etc.. I even experienced early PC gaming in the 80s, playing Conan the Barbarian with my brother on our family’s Apple II E (with the black and yellow monitor), using a joystick.
They mentioned the computer game “MYST” that came out later in the early 90s - I bought that for my boyfriend and watched him for hours playing that game, having a total blast (it was so impressive looking, and creepy as hell!). You weren’t even _BORN_ yet when Atari and Nintendo came out! That’s _TWO_ generations of gaming that you weren’t even born yet for!
Not to mention the era of arcade games. By the time you were of gaming age, the only time you’d be seeing an arcade game or two would be in a pizza restaurant, or going to a mini-golf place and the like. When you born though, there was still literal Arcades to be found in malls, with nothing but wall-to-wall Arcade games and nerds with glasses and bags of quarters inside them.
They sadly began disappearing forever in the early to mid 90s. My big brother worked for one in our local indoor mall the ‘80s. He was constantly fishing out tons of fake coins/tokens that nerds would try to trick the machines with.
Truly was the best time. I even got to play outside and play with Legos before it became a video game. I love my childhood, saw how much it advanced. I remember collecting from Big 5 as a kid. Bought a few Sega Genesis and like 40-50 games. Kinda mad I gave the collection to my brother when I joined the military.
At 32:09 : I had that handheld next to popeye on the shelf I t was an epoch space game, I loved playing it. I may still have it in storage.
Is it donkey kong
No N64 at all? That is weird.
that was my fav. Only 3 games mario64, waverace, and KI64 but I would rather have those 3 than all the PS1 games.
They couldn't afford sucha long documentary so they cut it off lal
26:23 "By 1982, it seemed like country was having one great big party, Ronald Reagan was in power, the economy was booming and the gaming industry was taking a big slice of the disposable income"
What a wonderful and prescient line, ah to have even a small slice of the 80's back again.
We are busy with social media now!
At JHP INC we had the game, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE CAPTAIN. but I wasn't a direct descendant of the active military so I settled for the submarine game, GAME OVER 1260, but losing your content was more common than losing the can of latest films at theaters and drive-ins. You don't buy a farm unless you have a good gate. Hint: they steal the product and keep the change. There will never be a law, so there ought to be a movie about it. I'm on it!
This doc sounds like it came from the 90s
If you like video games read this poem
Xbox, Xbox,
you’re the one for me.
I also love my 3DS
and my Nintendo Wii.
GameCube, GameBoy,
Apple iPod Touch.
I never thought that I would ever
be in love this much.
Pac-Man, Sonic,
Mario, and Link.
Your names are etched inside my mind
in everlasting ink.
Run, jump, flip, hang,
double-jump, and climb.
That’s all I want to do
with every second of my time.
This is true love.
Yes, it’s plain to see.
Xbox, Xbox,
will you marry me?

Rip IPOD Touch.
Nice documentary. I wished they would of mentioned some of the more rare systems, virtual body by nintendo with the 3d attempt, sega genesis's add on such as 32x and sega cd in order to try an expand the lifespan of the console and some of the periphials such as like guns, power glove and other add on's.
I know what you mean, but its damn near impossible to make a 1 hour long documentary on the entire history of video games from the beginning up to the 2000's. So many details are going to be missing. If like detailed documentaries about specific consoles look up "classic gaming quarterly" on youtube he has a great channel.
Not me feeling my age with Atari 2600 and Breakout. RIP my early childhood...
And then an hour later there's my mid-twenties with the Sims (Sims2 specifically) LMAO
10 years later while I watch this iam playing nintendo super nes Sega and ps1 games on my phone. Lol
The next 10 years from this documentary will be, MMORPGs, single game players (players who would only play 1 game for most of their gaming time like WoW, Counter-Strike, COD, Starcraft, etc), touch games how small games in times of these massive 3D games can become multi-million dollar industries again ( Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, etc)
Did you know Tetris ships with every mac even today you have to play it in command line
o love computer games something to do with your hands they bring back cool memorys i love mickey mouse donald duck wonder boy adventure island and mario and pac man and tetris
I was the first kid to get a Pong video game console in my classroom.
Man, is it ever cool to live in the time some video/movie mentioned. At the end of this video they mentioned they can't imagine video games in a decade, well it's been eleven years, and it's pretty obvious we have come a long way.
Anyone else playing video games while watching this? I'm playing The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX on my 3DS. :)
lamebow at the same time? fucking poser.
Hey Ciro you spelt loser wrong lol.
lamebow tetris on gameboy :D
Liese Slock im playing jet set willy on my c64
Alkapow Portstar Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail with a Kleenex and bottle of KY... ;)
Wow, even this is old.
The thing that strikes me most about this is the lines at the end "We cant even imagine the games 10 years from now" and "The Video game invasion is just beginning" Well, welcome to ten years from now tony hawk I'd say the video game invasion is over and now its the video game EMPIRE I don't know anyone who doesn't own at least 1 video game. This is a great movie that made me think about all my favorite old titles and appreciate all the new games out. Thank you Player78for bringing this 2 utube
And now, nearly ten years after this comment, we've got convincing VR and portable handheld gaming PCs. Just keeps getting more amazing!
@@Progger11 It sure does! Thanks for helping me find this old video again!
I would like to see "gaming invasion 2021 version from where this video left off up to ps5"
At the time the Tony Hawk games were being released he was the only professional skateboarder anyone had ever heard of, aside from Jason Lee and most people don't even know he did that before he was acting in Kevin Smith movies and My Name Is Earl and such. They were licensing a lot of games back then and it made sense to build a skating franchise around him.
I had the biggest crush on Jason Lee during his Mallrats days! And yes, I knew he was a skater lol.
Dayum! A couple of days and we'll all hit 10 years after this documentary was created (well... not technically speaking).
I have to say, games, in terms of graphics have reached a milestone from it's predecessors. But in terms of innovation and gameplay, I would sat we haven't come that far.
Reading your comment 9 years later... The graphics we see today in games are unreal!
01:09:32 Ah, the “good ‘ol days,” when Bill was just selling technology that didn’t go into people’s bodies.
Well, I'm glad they at least MENTIONED Crash Bandicoot. I mean, yeah, it's only like the greatest game ever. Well, besides Tetris and Galaga, that is.
They did not go back to the first game. The first game was the cathode ray tube amusement device which was invented in 1947
N64 was never named here. Dafuq.
because it wasnt groundbreaking (anyways it doesnt mean n64 sucks)
How can they skip N64? Mario64 and Zelda, Ocarina of Time changed everything!
Mario 64 was the first 3D third person free roaming exploration game. It was a game changer and inspired so many games after it. Are you serious?
Orions Angel And the Mr. Game and Watch
@MCFinalNinja FTW no it wasn't
@MCFinalNinja FTW it was Japan only with the color tv game 6
Lol when he said he can't imagine what video games will look like ten years from now, I was like "BattleField 4" and "InFamous: Second Son." Omg those 2 games along with many others are great. :P How wonderful it is for that logic 10 years ago to apply now when he said 10 years from now. I know the future! :D
I live in spokane!! This is so dope.
1:21:45, I come 9 years (almost 10) from the future, and trust me, it is exactly the same.
your kidding.
Jeanette Shrieves My kidding?
Your kidding slipped out of your trousers. Please put it away.
People experienced with arcades what they could not experience at home so for current generation this could be applied for Occulus rift, virtual reality gadgets, and new gen consoles but somewhy it is not popular idea and I just miss times where I could experience gameplay outside of my home ... :/
O:29 I live in Oklahoma so I noticed that helmet symbol in a instant. Oklahoma Sooners OU. Can't believe they lost to houston. 9/6/2016
yeah great documentary they talked about the dreamcast for like 3 seconds, its my 2nd favourite console after the genesis
tony hawk "we have no idea what games will be like in 10 years"
me "ummmmmmm..."
Hosted by Tony Hawk=Pro Skateboarder
O.o
The Master System is not Sega's first console, the SG1000 was.
Thank you Mr ex President Clinton.
deathcrustpunk I heard of the SG1000, but if I'm right, the Master System was SEGA's first console to be released in the United States.
germanname1990 that is true
+deathcrustpunk f
no the sega saturn 32x was, thankyou!
INTERACTION - is why gaming makes more than film.
Omniscient god commanding an avatar
I love gaming ps2 and back. Hated the 360 and ps3 start of hd realistic graphics. I love my chunky/8 bit. Nothing better than listening to an NES game boot up. Going to play NES now....
could a say a company like lucas film's if they have found someone to have released something using the star wars story line, can they take that game and keep it for there own?
My god...even in a documentary like this EA comes out as the most greedy
yes I miss NFL 2k
