"Everyone is playing Oregon Trail" made me laugh!

The sound on these consoles is so bad though.

Plz review msx ax170 famous in middle east

7:07 looks interesting!

I always wondered why they call them floppy disk. Now i know:D

nice stuff, thanks :) 800 looks like a lovely machine.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Wow, this is amazing i used to spend hours at a arcade center. I live in new olreans and we dont have those anymore but a dave and buster which i hate. Good job!!!!

6:22 why

That yearbook brings back memories. I was a year ahead of you - I graduated 8th grade in ‘88. In junior high I was a library aide, so I worked a lot with Apple IIe computers! Also, that’s a marimba you’re on, not a vibraphone. The frame is missing the pedal for a damper, and it also says “Kelon” on it, which is a resin they used to make marimba bars. Vibe bars are metal. (Saying this as a semi-pro percussionist who’s played all those instruments.)

My 6502 memory days 😂🎉

Without a proper display I considered these useless as a kid.

Lemings, defender of the crown, bard's tales, F/A 18 Interceptor... so many of the great games are not included ;(

what is the game at 13:45 ?

I was 13 in 1988 and had a computer class using Apple IIe I remember programing an image of a plane. I also had a C64 at home, yes it was better.

Great video ty but I have 2 original apple 2 computers with flat power light.80/51 quite common in later yrs

I really wish there were some arcades with classic machines near me.

Both this and Amiga were early videogame console chipsets that were repurposed for use in home computers. And Amiga also arrived late, its affordable home computer version was A500 which only really became available after 1989, only to be smothered by Sega MD/SNES & cheap PC clones few years later. Especially considering the stupidity of still using late 70s Atari joystick interface, with 1-2 buttons.

I had an XEGS

Amiga 500, 1200, 2000, 3000 documentary when?

From late 1985 to 1987 I worked for Strategic Software Services , the biggest mail order Commodore 64 game company in Australia by size of customer list. At its peak, the company had a Commodore mail order list of about 40,000 addresses, most of which were purchased from Commodore Australia's sales lists for about 20¢ each. We also supported Vic 20 for a while, and later on Amstrad CPC and Amiga. The Commodore 64 really did kill the Vic 20 stone cold dead and we stopped supporting the system very soon after I started with the company. I wanted to mention a slight correction. From 1985, about 50% of our C64 customers were ordering disc versions of games and this percentage grew each year. Many Australian C64 users were indeed using disc drives at this time. Around the end of 1985, modems for the C64 started to take off in Australia, although only a small percentage of home users had them. Bulletin board services offering various activities and information started to be offered but a user could only access a single bulletin board at one time. This was not a true "internet" since each bulletin board had its own telephone number and in order to change between boards, you have to hang up and dial a different number. This could get expensive if you called a bulletin board in a different state or region. Calling outside your local area incurred STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialling) which charged the call on a per minute basis. Large, broad-scope bulletin boards with a multitude of "pages" -- covering a selection of news, information, games and online purchasing -- began to dominate the market during this time and offer local numbers for many of the major Australian cities. These numbers accessed the same bulletin board, regardless if you dialled in from Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, etc. so I see this as the emergence in Australia of an internet-style online experience, incipient to what we have today. Sadly, I was retrenched in 1987 due to the company experiencing financial struggles which ultimately resulted in its bankruptcy. It was by far my favourite job, a fun time in an exciting and innovative era of computers and game evolution. I still have a few of the old Strategic Software mail order catalogues tucked away in my memorabilia.

Man that’s really cool. Too bad you couldn’t find out which radio station that was. If that Vic could talk, what stories it would tell.

My 800XL, disk drive and printer got me through my final comp sci courses. I loved it!

Dude. I don't care. I bet you're a blast to hang out with. Thoroughly entertaining channel. Thanks!

7:11 - hi, is there a reason he is not wearing shoes? Walking with sock would generate a lot of static electricity I reckon.

They are marketing them to the kids whose moms hate iPads

this will pay off in 150 light years... I give you 9 months, TOP

6:30 AND I GET UP!

Whoa whoa whoa! You are only 49?! I would have never guessed in a million years that you are only 10 years older than I am! My father is 60 and I would have sworn you were nearer his age. No offense. I guess that just shows how fast technology and culture started moving by the late 80s.

I miss my 800 😫😭

I had a math one. I liked it's sounds more 😂

Check out Fast Matt for some crazy Speak & Spell circuit bending

When I was young (around 1992) we lived in Fiji for a few years where my father bought me an Atari 7800+ while on a business trip, I loved that thing - there was no where in Fiji to buy games for it so I was stuck with the inbuilt Asteroids and a many-in-one cartage. That thing was awesome but it did not like the humidity there - I remember the RF often having problems and I think my parents had it fixed at the TV repair shop more than once.

I loved Star Raiders so much!

I think this is the _third_ time I've watched this. I don't even know you but it feels like we're actually good buddies. I hope to meet you one day, you remind me a lot of my uncle. He was the coolest. We spent _many_ a night playing C64 until the wee hours of the morning.

Dude, that record that you could plug into your tape player jack is so cool. "PRESS PLAY ON TAPE." No thanks, I'll just drop the needle. 😆

Man... I absolutely *love* that intro. So good...

Thank you so much. Question, how do you get detailed information about chip(s) architecture? Did you work at Commodore or you just researched the subjects?

Really brilliant classic style history video!

I never forget those disgusting magenta and cyan colors burning my eyes lmao, good times

Ha! I didn't realize you essentially managed to support the 65C816. I also didn't realize the 65C02 had additional opcodes--I just thought it was more of just an updated implementation.

I'm offended so hard.. did you assume that plugs gender 🥵

I wish You will make an arena for VR arcade. An abandoned mall will be an ideal place for it.

Great job , my kids would love this 👌👌👌

my real genesis model 1 non tmss has this issue. how can i fix the full model console?

really cool episode! many thanks! Merry Xmas to you and all visitors :) Best regards from Germany

Hey, who else want to just hang out with David, he genuinely seems like a solid dude with a mountain of experience and knowledge.
