RIP Charlton Heston.

Saw Martin Landau in Space 1999. He was also a crooked government agent in the movie Cyclone, and saw him guest star in an episode of In Plain Sight. Man was a talent. I remember Charleton Heston from Planet of the Apes and The Ten Commandments. Dr. Joyce Brothers I saw here and there on TV. Glad to see their views were favorable towards video games. Or somewhat favorable.

What were "video games" in 1982? Pong? Pac Man was released in Japan in 1980. When was it exported to the rest of the world?

The Atari 2600 was released in 1977...in 1978 Space Invaders became the first video game to sell over 1 million copies. By 1982, there were over 10 million 2600s sold making it the biggest selling console system ever. Yes, there were others before it. The two different Odessey systems sold several million, Intelivision and Color TV-Game both sold over 3 million units, Colecovision topped 2 million units. Before 1980, Frogger, Galaxian, Asteroids...right after pac-man was Donkey Kong, Frogger, Centipede and Vanguard with Dig-Dug, Q'bert hitting and the Commodore 64 was already being hyped before release. In 1980/81 Sega is breaking new grounds in gaming with N-Sub, Turbo and Space Fury and the 1982's Zaxxon which was almost as good as the 1981 MEGA HIT...Galaga. By 1982, arcades where already popular and popping up all over the country...and, Tron is also released this year, spawning a bunch of games based on whats in the movie.
