I remember this one from back in the day and I quite enjoyed it. Sure, it's primitive by modern standards (as is every game from the Atari age) but especially for its time, it's a pretty creative and unique idea.

That training orb shoots electric sparks much like a Tesla Coil does. Not lasers.

My brother and I used to play this when we were kids. Great with two players.

i had this, and i only recently found out how it played from youtube too

runs a bit choppy on PC too even tho my rig can handle the highest settings no problem, it's not the hardware but the game engine that is the issue, it's a gorgeous fun game but is just a bit buggy espesially on consoles the Pc version runs the best by far but even that has some bugs far less frame rate issues tho than on console.

yay potato = tasty

thank you this review helped me decide on this over real chain mil shirt for a Halloween party, this won me over with the light and cheap va heavy and expensive 🎉

Johnny Lawrence from karate kid to cobra kai says you have no taste.

Naaah, morions (Conquistador helmets) are where it's at, man!

That thing can't replicate Super Sprint bc it's designed so you always have your fingers available on the buttons, so you can only turn a little, where as SS was a freespinning analog function. This thing doesn't look like that same analog effect; it looks like it's got two levels - slight turn, and spinout turn, depending on whether you turn the wheel a little or a lot. Too bad I'd love a good controller to play Super Sprint in the classic style, that game was awesome

The Ifshnits can't use rifles, so you make a short barreled carabine for them. Make some heavier weapons for them, armor and pickaxe. Next thing you know you're playing Deep Rock Galactic scenarios in SF, fighting back a Glyphid infestation of the frontier. They dig for ROCK and STONE!

it starts with the helmet then next thing you know you have multiple full sets :).

Smart to opt for the decoration. Would be cool to wear the real thing though!

Time to get the real deal now!

Nice forced-perspective. Peter Jackson would be proud!

Haha, must have been a replica of Sir Lenny the Large's helm, famous for his larger than life personality. :p

Sorry my bad about the last list of pc games which are in the year 2000! For the 1990’s Star Wars Dark Forces, Duke Nukem 3d, and my fave intro Half -Life which hade the same quality graphics for the intro as well as for the rest of the game!

Great idea Kev! My top 2 arcade game intros are Space Ace for the cartoon animations [disney quality] and Mortal Kombat for the musical theme and voice for the word “Fight “ Iconic! For PC Fallout 2 (retro 1950’s music and animation), Baldurs Gate2 (awesome graphics for its time) and Wolfenstein pc version for the awesome action graphics!

Haha! You got me. How fun, and it looks really nice. I half expected you to mention Conquerer A.D. 1086, that was the best helmet you could get.

Does it fit over a Funko pop?

the Wang Company's Star Trek Bluetooth Communicator has been out of stock for a long time, and many are beginning to think that the company will no longer be selling the product. I recently contacted the company by email asking if they plan on continuing to sell this item, and if they are, when will it be available?

I have Space Ace, Dragon's Lair and Missile Command. They are beautiful recreations. Love New Wave.

In order of personal favorites, not definitive but what I can at least remember for now, from my early days of gaming which happened to be the best, lucky me: 1) Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, 1999, PlayStation (remaster coming soon, btw!). My Cyberdyne Systems Awards to this series for Best Story in Gaming, Best Dialogue Writing (watch with subtitles), Best Voice Acting, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp7RnGOXi8-md7ssi=YPN_JjLV1P2lswkM 2) Fallout 1, 1997, PC(though Fallout 2 is really great as well). Just an incredible amount of information very quickly to establish the world and lore with a twist of dark humor and irony, lays a foundation for the entire series in comedy and bleak warning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nniWpnWdhtKHpM0si=GEmOr_NLHmIVn4q6 3) Siphon Filter, 1999, PlayStation. To a middle school boy this was the most exciting, high tech mind blowing world spanning spy action movie to hit consoles. James Bond had nothing on Gabe Logan. I loved this game and dorkly admit i tried to make an "Agency" club with my friends in 6th grade. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHPXoquGrNubpNUsi=VIRpAk7MxzT1nQjp 4) Flashback, on MAC-OS, 1992/1994 for me? A favorite because this is possibly the first cinematic style game intro I ever saw, and a precursor to my later passion for cyberpunk/ Blade Runner anything. There were multiple version of this, with different music, but I had the MAC Play version on a triple disk with Marathon and Asteroids 3D. So this is the intro I saw, but truly you gotta watch the part with the data cube/ "missing memory message to me" ala Total Recall, that amazed me at the time. I had never seen ANYTHING like this style or genre at the time. maybe even my first sci-fi entertainment i embraced. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqbQi4evrN6apK8si=OwDCqrWY3UImVRBm - just because that's the music I knew, and is BEST and then watch the 2nd cutscene in this where he opens the data cube, 0:50-1:40.... that's really still the intro IMO: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWGXZI2Ol86ijbssi=O1GIvGHT2KHnsk-N cheers, gamers! Deus Ex is pretty amazing too but i felt i could do without it.

Double Dragon. Arcade version. Your gf is kidnapped by thugs. You and your brother come out of the garage, and it's time to kick ass. Short and to the point.

As I compile my list and links to their videos, comment coming soonish, want to say this: while watching and considering my own picks, one of the first 3 games i maybe considered, trying especially for pre-2000 era classic gaming of my youth, things that really influenced and really stuck with me - was also THIEF! I was so surprised and impressed when you mentioned it yourself! I probably wasn't even a teenager yet but loved The Gold Edition box I had. Love that series. The intro really establishes the aesthetic and atmosphere. but fyi - for your list, i'm pretty sure you're talking about the FIRST game, Thief: The Dark Project, and that is what you initially say...but in your outro summary, you say Thief: The Metal Age, which is Thief 2. Easy slip of the tongue, but then "the Trickster takes hold of mistakes. Remain vigilant, brother!" - ancient text of the Hammerite LOL

I love the Broodwar intro! Great choice! "Are you prepared to go all the way with this, Alexi?" "Yes, I am prepared to go all the way."

Some interesting choices there Kevin. I've not played any of these, well apart from Galaxian, so I can't comment on them. A 15 minute into sounds insane haha. Half an hour on Gran Turismo 7!? What? The longest intro I've ever experienced was for Okami, I think that was about 10 minutes. I was so bored by the end of it I didn't feel like playing the game anymore haha. I've just been working on my VR to Bob but my answers are not as interesting I don't think, all fairly well known, standard games.

For me Favorite intros I have to give it to these: Morrowind Freelancer Dawn of War Command and Conquer

Having just started watching this intro, I am laughing at the Scottish guy, its a decent accent in that intro for your number four pick, so it might actually be a Scottish guy. Anyway back to watching along to this.

Some good choices there. Excelsior

Great stuff Kev, thank you very much for the video response. I was excited to see what you guys would come up with as I said in my video I have limited gaming experiences. I have not played any of those games with the exception of the short intro one that was caveated as not counting. I will now go and look at that final choice which had the long intro just to see. I did laugh out loud that you use certain things in conversation, people are very often lost by my movie references which I use a lot when talking to people. Cheers again and hope life is treating you well.

Gravitar was a beautiful game to look at - the color vector graphics were eye popping, and the way you could go down to the different planets was neat. The problem was that it was just too damn hard! If the designers had gone with an 8-directional joystick instead of the rotate/thrust controls of Spacewar! / Asteroids / Lunar Lander, to make it a little easier, I think it would have been a hit. Maybe some homebrew programmer can try adding this as an option!

i need that sexy glass!!

Great video Kev and it is really great what certain objects can bring out different benefits. I've never seen this in real life, I'm guessing it didn't exist in the UK but perhaps you will tell me otherwise. Anyway another great video.

The 1st time I saw Computer Space was on Soylent Green and was completely fascinated by it.

By golly Kev you're right! I was on the fence about it but now I think will go out and by that nuclear warhead to crush my enemies! :p Must be cool to be known as 'The Computer Space Guy', if I ever get the chance to meet you in person I want to call out to you "Hey it's the computer space guy!" Could I have a link to that interview you did which you showed in the video please? I'd like to give it a watch. Great video, I enjoyed hearing your experiences with Computer Space related events.

I prefer the 🍁the stars and stripes. You are a very decent guy not to mention the filthy word, stay that way forever.

11:29 Why did the screen start collapsing? Is there a relay in there or something? I can hear the quarter was not inserted when that happened.

You may want to work for (cyber) Space Force - They have it all re: every serial number of every computer and results of 2 0 2 0...

purchase price like 30 bucks but trust me physical media will only continue to disapear so its a safe investment

Well done, Kevin. I just realized I hadn't subscribed so I took care of that!

No. It's not rare.

Never played this one, looks like a nice collection of Tetris styled games. To be honest I think I'd rather just play standard Tetris. Though that push one does look like it would be quite fun to play with a friend.

Thoughts on the plus?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there something in KHs about zero g and firing weapons that unless they are beam weapons you have to make a Dex check or you are spinning- I vaguely remember something like that.

I'm shocked! Not one "Enhance" comment! Yes, my jokes are terrible. That being said, thanks for the vid and also I love the ambient noises from Deckard's apartment added to the soundfeed.

As you probably know I have been messing about with my own version of Star Frontiers, and I almost hate to admit it but (it's almost hard to type) but I have made artificial gravity a reality. However it is an expensive reality which most ships cannot afford! Basically there is a rare earth element which when given an electrical charge increases the gravity around it for about two meters out. It is packed into rods and welded into the flooring. Which is also the reason why pirates always seem to tear up the flooring of any ship they take. Why do it? I thought about not doing it, but I think ultimately the problem is that one thing nearly all organic lifeforms in the universe have in common - probably - is that they originate on planets with a constant gravitational pull. They evolve to fit it, and as we have seen with our own astronauts, you can't live without gravity for very long without getting sick. This probably gets even worse for creatures that come from planets with greater gravitational fields than Earth. So I thought it would be interesting, and more believable, for high-end space ships to have cabins where you could adjust the gravity like a thermostat. Also, it's always fun when the gravity goes out and then comes back on, something you can't easily do if the gravity is always there or never there. And if you're counting on constant acceleration to supply the ship's gravity, that really complicates piloting the ship as you not only want to get to where you are going but you can neither go too fast nor too slow without hindering your crew. And!!!! Actually I'll just stop right there :-) Good video!

I haven't seen the movie but I get what you're saying. Maybe a single shot might do something. Maybe a blast from a flame unit. It'd probably still send them spinning in circles. That's the kind of thing that makes me not trust the film's writers. Usually things that make matters worse make movies more interesting. Only amateurs go for a quick cheap escape.

Gunpowder has its own oxidizer, so it doesnt need an outside air supply. All modern firerarms will fire in a vacuum with no problem. SF sometimes gets the science wrong.

Two of my favorites in one. Cheers.
