@IvanovBR thank you for that extra information! I am so sad that much of video game history is lost or unknown because of national borders, and the information being locked away inside each country or region's media and populace. I know Brasil has a vibrant history of video games and game players, and I wish I knew more about it. But learning everything about the video games in my own country is hard, and it is hard for me to research foreign language texts. But I love Brazil and your love for games. Have you played Rocket League? I wrote a script for a video I never made about it and I researched car soccer in real life, and learned a lot about Brazillian car soccer leagues in the 60s. Also, have you heard of Ze do Caixao? I am a big fan

"Flagship character"? Quintessential I would say absolutely about Spider-Man, but flagship I think is a title that goes to Captain America (in regards to date of first being created/published and also an ambassador of sorts internationally not just for Marvel but America in general). If he was referring to most bankable character then YEAH! Spider is their IP to print the most money and therefore most marketable if you mean that kind of " flagship". Great as always to hear Romita's opinions and insights.

Hi, THX - thank you for checking my video out, I really appreciate that. And I really like when people throw down an opinion, even if it disagrees with me. However, this is now a good old fashioned "comic debate", so lets a gree we both have our perspectives, and still respect each other, but also argue our points, as you have done pretty well in your comment (but please be open to pushback, lol). You know, most KZbinrs love comments, and I'm no different. It is direct evidence of someone responding to something you did or made. Anyone who does or makes anyyhing would like that. But in my short time on YT, I have come to love my comments for the ideas and perspectives they bring to the table. And if you're wondering "why the preamble?", its because I think you raised an interesting question/idea. Your comment has taken me back (mentally) to the comic shop, back in the old days - this is totally a topic we would've debated outside after we got our "wednesday pull". And, I think there's some interesting historical context buried in your question as well. First, lets be honest - this is a little "nitpicky"; is "flagship" that much diff from "quintissential" as labels? It does sound a little like a semantic debate. And that is why your comment MIGHT come off a little nitpicky - "you didn't use the right word". But I think words are important, and if certain words can be more precise, then that should be considered. AND - like I said, I think you raised an interesting question! One problem is you didn't clearly define/differentiate why those two words have such difference to you (becaues to me "quintessential" and "flagship" are pretty close, they're both "big, important prominent" so I'm trying to identify the line where you divide one as more quint, the other as more flag); so I'm gonna take a stab at it, but if I misrepresent anything, feel free to correct me in a response. SO - I'm guessing you are saying flagship as "importance" to the marvel line-up, or as marvel as a publisher? But what does Flagship or Quintessential mean? Well to me, Flagship is the person you put on the poster, the frontman of the band, the star of the movie, even if that movei has a lot of stars. Quintessential? To me that is more of a "substance" label - quintessential to me means "important" or "perfect" - so I can see someone calling Cap that. But Flagship means something specific - it is the face you put out publicly, the #1 image you present. And in the 70s, from what I know you can't make a reasonable argument that Cap was the flagship. Cap's sales in the late 70s (the time period covered in the vid) were in the gutter, when it came to press - and marketing, and licensing, and products - Spider-Man was #1. Romita's Spider-man was so ingrained in me - from pop culture and media, not the comics - that for a while it tooke me a bit to adapt to other artist takes on the character. Anyway, what do you think? Listen, I love Cap. I could type on for hours about collecting Cap comics, so I loved your post challenging me - I love people standing up for Cap!

I remember playing on nes "blades of steel" hockey game by komami it an excellent hockey game, recommend for nes. And on sega genesis I loved "international superstar soccer deluxe" it had so many possibilities that I don't even can't try them all. You can play campaing, play against second player, play with second player on your team, can do many tricks, mode for improve your skills on mechanics, and mode for recreate cool moments of real soccer games. Also you can kick enemy's goal keeper when he has the ball in his hands and get red card 😄 And of course many teams with real players, you can manage those if you want and tactics. For my personal opinion it's greatest soccer game even now. Recommend try it very much. But exactly this version of game.

I remember when our Revco got a clearance pallet of old Atari cartridges. I was in the area with a friend walking around (small town). I called my mom from the Revco (😂) and asked her to pick us up and bring my money and an advance on my chore money. The cartridges were 25 - 50 cents in a large bin. 20 bucks bought one of everything I could find. When I got home, my dad was upset because he thought I had stolen them or got them by underhanded means. (Cartridges a few year before were 30 to 60 dollars apiece at the toy store). Mom confirmed, and he took me right back to the Revco to get any remaining cartridges from the back room that I hadn't picked up. I think both Atari and Revco were in financial trouble that year and it was match made in bargain bin heaven!

well the Atari 2600 clones started in brazil with a real licensed Atari 2600 DV console with front controller ports. A real Atari branch. Many brazil companies started to develop clones like Daktar etc. The fun part is: later they were based on a 1-chip design Atari tried for many years without success. The producer was? UMC..... also a manufacturer for the TIA chip! Atari's 1-chip system a special version of the 2600 jr was later sold in small quantities in Canada only. With buitin 128 games. The Asia clones started a short time after and were also based on these 1-chip versions with builint games of 32/64/128/256/512/1024/2048 games built in. Very cheap copied of the original console based on a smart PCB with only 2 big chips. It looks like UMC created their own version out of the original Atari design (as they manufactured 6532, 6507 and TIA already). Limitation was only that these chip do not support paddle controllers due to number of required pins The Atari chips "Unicorn" itself was faulty.

Gemini sounds like a really stupid idea. Did they really make that much profit by selling hardware..? seems more like a favor to Atari, since biggest profit margin certainly was in selling the games. The expansion module on the other hand I get, because it's another selling point for the Colecovision and owners most likely would still buy mostly coleco games.
@HeroJournalism Ай бұрын
You make a good point; but Coleco had already made MILLIONS by doing the same thing with Pong - cheaper console production, lower price. However, it never could have succeeded due to the Crash. If the Crash hadn't happened, a lot of stuff might have actually made money

and then there were 1:1 clones of the 4-switch 2600, with cheaper-looking switches and a lighter case. An imaginative number of built-in games that you can select every time you turn the machine on/off if no module is plugged in. I had several of these - but they're pointless and I only have one of them left.

Was that planned from the tall man? Or is it just unreasonable trash from the director?

They did so much damage to that brand, but it really does have an important place in console history, so I'm glad the IP has new owners so that perhaps SOMETHING can be done with it to reflect on its legacy and place in history, now that its been separated from Amico. The Amico debacle drove me to do a lot of research on INTV for future videos, because so many were blasting the IP itself, saying it was always worthless. And for post-NES-only gemers, OK I can see them saying that but it was huge to the 2nd generation of consoles, and brought many innovations to the industry.
