    The idea of Atari being responsible for the North American video game crash is way over-blown. Their arcade titles were still top-notch in 1983. The decline of the arcades was really due to the negative reaction to video games by the media coupled with home computers beginning to make strides in gaming while allowing parents to feel that they're offering their children a platform to aid them in their education. It was simply a shift away from arcades and consoles toward home computers. Atari was mainly just a scapegoat.

      @@michaelfowler5760 True. There was also a completely different culture between the arcade and home divisions; with the arcade side turning out far superior products. Yes, the arcade group had better technology, but their deadlines were just as tough as that of the home division (moreso in some cases) and a game still needs to have great replay value. There's a good interview with one of the programmers of Major Havoc that details the difference in culture between the two. Despite all that, the people programming the home games were getting way more money than the arcade programmers (especially in 1982 and 1983).

    This is an amazing project! Well done.
    Growing up my dad had a Royal Guard Pinball, and a Tempest Cabinet. I'm two years older than Atari. We were very close growing up!
    What a ride these last 50 years. I got to watch the world go from analog to digital.
    The industry has gone from one person making a game. Cut to now hundreds of people to publish a game! We went from one playfield to boundless worlds.
    I still play today. Old and new I have 30 consoles from Atari to Xbox. I even work out with VR. Gotta stay healthy. I want to see where the industry is decades from now.
    Even though this paragraph is kinda out of place. No matter how old you are, don't let anyone tell you you're too old for your passion. I've been accused of being a manchild and hey that's okay. I think that I'm youthful, but not childish. And I think that people should do what makes their heart sing.
    You can have my joystick when you pry it out of my cold arthritic hands.
    Edit: Sorry so sloppy. Kinda late, and kinda stoned.

    Thanks for a fantastic documentary, this has really been an eye opener and learning for me, growing up in Sweden with, at least in my experience, very limited access to arcades, many games I had never seen or heard of before. Through the weeks it has taken me to watch through this I have in parallel played some of the games on my Analogue Pocket, and I even bought an arcade stick to get closer to the real experience. I've found many great games and arcade favorites that Ive enjoyed playing by myself or with my kids. Thanks again Bastich B!

    One thing I noticed is how remarkable the NEO GEO is, right? Basically each year of the 90's had titles made for this 1990 board ranking among the best until the 00's. Proof that great games always had their place in the market, even without cutting-edge tech. SEGA, Konami, Irem, Data East and more left their older boards behind, but SNK kept on giving. The CPS III is obviously more powerful than the NEO GEO board, but Garou is just as impressive, if not more so than Street Fighter III.

    What a wonderfully thorough chronicle of arcade history! I think more gamers should be aware of the era of the advanced EM games, which played like a lot of the soon-to-follow video games. And of course some of the features left over from the EM games could still be found in the 70s arcade machines. One was Boot Hill 29:40 , using the 'Pepper's Ghost' half-mirror technique to spice up the background with a painted plastic hill and graveyard, which looked like a prop found earlier EM shooting galleries. Try that backdrop in MAME, it's really good at simulating the effect

      we used to have chain arcades here, franchises. "mr. arcade" i think was started in 1972... and then we had two big private arcades downtown. eventually they brought in consoles to try to keep up, it was a strange thing....big 72 inch screens in private rooms with a leather couch and the latest console. that didn't last very long though. the writing was on the wall for arcades in general at that point. that was early 2001, i think. we now have one of the biggest arcades around, a guy started an arcade/band stage. most times you pay a flat fee and all the pinball machines and cabinets are set to free play. and sometimes you have the added bonus of a live band set.

    Thank you for all your hard work in creating this, man talk about memory lane. Looking at PC games now and what I use to play on the Atari 800XL they have came a very long way quickly. I remember that stupid Atari cassette drive wait 20 minutes for a game to load and right before it loaded you would get an error. I eventually got a Atari Disk drive which made the loading a little less painless. Unless I missed it one of the laser games I didn't see was Space Ace also by Don Bluth, who also drew all the Dragon's Lair characters. I was in a arcade just recently called Dave and Buster's and the newer gen arcade cabinets are way crazy now.
