When "Breakout" hit the arcades, we (the kids) no longer had to beg and plead for a trip to the arcade. This was the first game that brought the adults in the family to the arcade voluntarily. It was the first game THEY wanted to play.
Oh yeah, I know because it was one of the few games my mom would play when we got the VCS port. I would play it all the time with her when I was little.
I heard several 70s Bally pins in the background, too. There is a bar not too far from me that has Star Trek, Six Million Dollar Man, and Dolly Parton among other pins. They have pins from the 80s and 90s as well, but those are the 70s pins I specifically remember playing there.
Did woz produce/solder all of the chips and motherboards personally? Do we know how many were made/still around and functional. The woz/jobs back story to this game makes it interesting, i would like to hear more about it, great vid!
I seen an original Pong in the Silverball Museum in NJ it works and the guy said there is a real old school TV with the knobs and Antenna and he said that's how they were made. I wonder if you can do a review there.
It's pretty much impossible now. 2600 is a full time special education teacher, he also lives in another state now. So unless we're together is the only time you'll see me on camera. It's either we do them solo or there's no videos at all.
Depends on the game. I know with Computer Space it uses an old vacuum tube television. Thankfully the manager of FunSpot's father knows how to fix them.
Honestly the best way is to join a local or online arcade gaming community. Contribute to the posting and check out the marketplace rules. Besides that, there are various conventions and of course craigslist.

So making arcade games in JS to practice a few bit.
Thank you for showing how they got the color blend.
I knew it couldn't have been the computer!

ANY IDEA WHAT THE HIGH SCORE IS FOR PROGRESSIVE BREAKOUT?
Galaxian from Namco/Midway was one of the first games to use a full color monitor.
