Steve Wozniak Talks Video Games - Full Interview

Watch the full, unedited interview with Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak talking about his history with and philosophy on video games.

[@JuiceBoxHero98]

"It's not about how successful you are or how many yachts you own, it's about how much you smile" That is why Steve Wozniak is the man

[@mattstevens1543]

This guy broke the code on how to stay in his youth. You have to love him, he has preserved his inner child. Could listen for hours.

Matt Stevens exaclty. people are too focused on becoming an adult and blah blah blah

[@castirondude]

It's interesting too how he keeps going on and on about how you can build computers to have fun while in vintage Steve Jobs interviews , he presents the Apple machines as serious tools. Just looking at the two personalities you can see they're so different.

[@13unner]

I love how in interviews Wozniak talks like he's actually just talking to the guys he's with. You can tell there's no motivation for him to seem 'cool' or 'intelligent', just a guy letting people record him having a conversation with them. Never change, Wozniak.

[@vincepetrovic8700]

When he was saying “I was the greatest designer ever” I thought: I love this guy! Tell it like it is, Steve! Because you are!

[@zabrak999]

his secret sauce is his vibrant brain that gives him a great deal of attention span

[@maboroshi1986]

i know steve jobs gets all the praise as a great speaker with great delivery. i prefer listening to steve wozniak. he's the kind of guy you listen to and converse with because when you talk to him about something he's passionate about he becomes so excited and interesting that you can't help but be riveted.

AND he coded BreakOut/Arkanoid with 48 chips (and Pong with 30). ...Am I the only videogamer who just realized that PANG is also a "son of" Pong/Break Out? (Puzzle Bubble too, when you think about it)

[@bouchedrepisa]

How is this not 100 million hits? Unbelievable honesty. Woz is a still a breath of fresh air. Not arrogant, not drinking oolong tea of silicon valley. Incredible insight into current issues too.

[@ClearAdventure]

I. Love. This. Man. He has all the money in the world, and could really care less. Here I was getting pretty down in the mouth about my life/financial situation, and just realized he would be just as happy as he is now, if he had MY life, or yours. He is just a happy guy, and at the end of the day, that is all that _really_ matters. Have a great day everyone! :-)

[@aaronlee2941]

+Clear Adventure well said

[@ClearAdventure]

***** And yet he is in a cheap hotel playing a gameboy...I think the 100 mill will last him a while. ;-)

[@CraigMansfield]

Clear Adventure Money is so important, but it gives security, not happiness. I think following something that inspires or interests you, makes you feel happy. And having friends or family that you love. Health is everything. Be well.

[@CraigMansfield]

Jose God willing, you find a way soon. Sometimes it's who you know, so maybe try interacting with some more people, or volunteering to meet new people. Best wishes to you.

[@CraigMansfield]

I believe good luck is always on the way to us.

[@DaGleese]

I REALLY want Woz to become an indie game developer.... Could you just IMAGINE the possibilities!

[@Ferny1981Utube]

Was thinking the same. He could engineer ME, and I'd probably be a better person. But I don't think he didn't even tried, maybe that is the one only thing he (kind of) sucks at... Game design, bummer ;_(

“I don’t know what companies use computers for. I only know what I like to use them for.” - Steve Wozniak

[@Hysteria98]

"But you know, after 27 years, you've seen all the groups, been to every concert." All that and his eyes still glued to the Game Boy, even whilst saying it.

[@DesignInNature]

LOVE...HIM. I just love him. He has such a contagious positive disposition. I would love to meet him one day, invite him to dinner, and just share a meal while listening to all his pearls of wisdom. What a charming human being.

[@jaredkidd1]

+TipsyPistole So am i right in saying that Woz is the Trues brain behind the machine but he needed Steve jobs to be the Public showman?

[@tipsypistole4055]

yes, you could phrase it like that.

[@AmericanReconstruction]

+jaredkidd1 He wasn't just a "public showman". Woz was an engineer, Steve was a visionary. They needed each other. Why is it that in order to praise Woz you have to downplay Jobs? They are both exceptional.

Steve Wozniak is kind of man you would listen non-stop for days, weeks even months.

Words can't describe how much I respect this man.

[@oilyshadows]

Great video. I also really enjoyed the videos from E3 with a couple devs just sitting and chatting. I would love to see more of these kind of interviews on the site. Keep up the good work guys, appreciate it.

[@markemerson98]

Woz clearly demonstrates what a true genius is: when you take what you know and create something totally new that hasnt been done before. Then what follows is that others try to emulate. just brilliant. I would love to meet this man.

[@thomasballard1753]

Woz: Still my hero and one of the most influential people in my life/career. (Ongoing thanks to you sir.) Love this interview, thank you!

[@Metalfox-mc8nr]

Needed to watch this.

[@SpellsOfTruth]

29:40 My friends and I made hundreds of games outside when we were kids, they always combined multiple sports, and they always had the most obvious name. 1 game was simply dodging shoes on a trampoline, the shoe game. 1 was a trampoline game that was 2(or 3) on 2(or 3) game where you had to slap a ball into the other teams net, the ball game. 1 was football on a baseball field with endzones at the foulines in the outfield so you could potentially throw touchdown passes every throw by throwing it across the infield, curve ball. 1 was catch the most leaves that fell from the trees within a certain amount of time, leaf game. 1 was tying our wrists together with masking tape and being the first 1 to escape only using the objects in the room, tape game. 1 was 2 guys walking down the street on opposite sides with a basketball and seeing how long you could walk while throwing around the back passes to each other, around the back game. 1 was shooting crayons at each other with a rubber band as we walked past our friends classrooms, search and destroy game(lol).

[@jaredkidd1]

7:25 Damn if i was friends with Steve Jobs back then and i'd made that Pong machine and I'd found out that he'd took my work and used it to get a Job at Atari ......... I'd be Pissed!

[@ejmac11]

+jaredkidd1 That'd be the end of our friendship if it was me, but Wozniak is such a nice, almost push-over type of person that he seems he'd forgive you for almost anything. Jobs was incredibly lucky to know him. That was his ticket to success.

[@alphazar]

Jobs was a kid. He did use Woz, but he didn't diminish Woz in any way. In fact without Jobs, Woz would be unknown.

I was there in the classic era of arcade games 1980-1983 and the engineer that brought 'Breakout' into Sunspot arcade in Hull told me to play this new game as it's going to be great.I asked him to stick me some free credits on which he did and I played it and was instantly addicted.The game was black and white and top of the screen had plastic coloured strips to give red yellow green to layers of the bricks.Brilliant is made me and made other kids very very happy at that time.

It's not funny it kind of shows how Jobs is a false hero.

[@CraigMansfield]

I love this guy. He is powered by curiosity and excitement, by then he's thrilled by things that make him laugh. I think he's a joy, and a ray of sunshine. I think it takes a special type of person to still have the enthusiasm of a young person, as they get older. Making a game, then getting free pizza because you got the high score! hahahaha.... not world domination or millions of dollars..... beating a system and winning something hahaha I love him :D
