The Pointless History of Red Sea Crossing on the Atari 2600 - The Holy Grail of Atari Games!

#redseacrossing #atari2600 #rarevideogames #atarigames #retrogaming #biblevideogames #pointlesshistory
On this holiday episode of Pointless History, we talk about one of the rarest, if not, the rarest Atari 2600 game of all time! Red Sea Crossing! A Bible Video Game based off the Crossing of the Red Sea Story (it’s supposed to be called the “Reed Sea”, poor translation from Greek to English, ANYWAY!). The gameplay is on par with any mediocre Atari game of its time, but the aftermath and rarity of this game make it the Holy Grail of Atari 2600 Games, as well as an incredible story to tell around the yule log! Happy Holidays & Happy New Years!

These videos are amazing, your channel is super underrated, I hope the algorithm picks your vids up and helps your channel grow, you deserve it.

[@zeldafan126]

I can’t believe you don’t have more than 10,000 subscribers already. I’ve just subscribed and can’t wait to see this channel grow!

[@EPYScopeMedia]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the support, as well subscribing! 🤙 I think because of not figuring out the format and topics for this channel (within the past 11 years since it was created), until now, could be the reason for lack of subscribers. But hey, having some subscribers, especially the amount I have now, is better than none! Again, thank you for the support and for subscribing to EPYScope! Really appreciate it! Happy Holidays! 🤙

I would like to have an authentic reproduction of Red Sea Crossing for the Atari 2600 VCS because it is a Bible based video game. I have most of the Wisdom Tree brand Bible based game cartridges for the Nintendo NES. Yet my favorite home video game console is still the Atari 2600 VCS which is lacking a Bible based game cartridge. 📖 🕹️

[@EPYScopeMedia]

There is one left on this ebay listing. It's the same one I used in the video. www.ebay.com/itm/193632907787?hash=item2d156bb20b:g:MXYAAOSwA~VfNI6F&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwJtBRNbP5aUlm7afqvJL0DS7dRENFLqy7sARGaavfKaWPRVkBEHnsJCuhAg9yslWjX%2Fb2M4NOUbbfNarhyEkhA4t3jAej5nEFi1Gc0S2ocVeXBUfu3y28Sr%2F4aKUi%2FUkRudv2k0F4bONXDbpJMpDh10Az5Q2%2BsA1qm7HRWYY1NzRSRuPf%2FcO16WMGAFKc9m9rGN5gItYfwaLKb%2FgMtinSM847fbTbX2%2BkPXPa2sdGBVN46xVgHesKAJDhfwnmEmetQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8Lf3tzQYg

[@sdasda4654]

Awesome production

[@EPYScopeMedia]

Thanks very much! Appreciate it! 🤙

[@MotherLeedsBand]

That was a wild ride

[@robmcleod2876]

Off to binge all your other "pointless history" videos now. I subbed in the first 5 minutes of watching this one

[@EPYScopeMedia]

Thanks very much! I really appreciate it! 🤙 I hope you enjoy all the episodes. It’s a mixed variety of topics, but I think you’ll enjoy it 🤙

[@brandong.1857]

Well done video. I'm glad the ROM was dumped so I can play it on my Harmony. What an awful game. I'm subscribed now and look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@coyotejohenson7245]

Dude needs more subs

[@jadedheartsz]

pretty good video.

[@EPYScopeMedia]

Thanks very much! 🤙

[@jmogler]

Umm Steve Stack has no justification for asking for the game "back" or asking anyone who owns a copy not to dump it. It's not his game anymore. He sold "a few hundred" copies in 1983 and already received HIS MONEY for it. Those copies out in the wild were legitimately paid for and are now the property of someone else who can do with it what they please. Dumping is for preservation and the community. Sorry, just because you programmed the game 40 years ago doesn't mean you own every copy that exists.

[@idkrossplay]

Wtf you put a lot of effort for that little views

[@HerculesMays]

Yeah, this is seriously high effort camera work and quality for so few views, makes me feel like I'm watching something that should have 100,000+ views, not less than 1000. Seriously, keep up the effort, EPYScope

[@charlesbronson4282]

Atleast you could do a walk through of the game...since we sat through a long grueling youtube video bout it..

[@Cp-71]

This was definitely a good video but I nearly skipped it because of the obvious AVGN clone-style intro... it just doesn't work.

[@EPYScopeMedia]

I totally understand. Looking back on this episode, it had more elements of AVGN in it then it should’ve. The recent holiday episode had some as well, but not as much as the RSC episode. Honestly, I was experimenting with this episode to see what works as far as sketches and jokes for this web show. I don’t want every episode to be a basic long lecture video (although, that’s how this one turned out, another reason I sprinkled in some sketches and jokes in it) I want them to be entertaining as well. I appreciate the constructive feedback and will make sure in the future to not make it too much like AVGN.

[@aguynamednathan]

I gotta say, this IS pretty pointless. Well done.

[@christopherpennington106]

Where's the fuckin Tylenol! 😮😅😅😅😅

[@EPYScopeMedia]

Had to throw a Christmas Vacation reference in there somehow 😂

[@thevulture5750]

The KJV Bible is mathematically encoded

[@Operation8Bit]

Great video! Glad the all powerful KZbin algorithm put it in my feed.

[@Lucas_Mountain]

hehehe

[@bradallen8909]

You do realise video capture cards have been around since at least the very early 1990s? Steve Schustack seems like a bit of a wanker.
