Teens Play Retro Games For The First Time! (Atari)

Missed so many of the more epic games. Ex: Frogger, SeaQuest, Donkey Kong, River Raid, Enduro, Joust, Pac-man, Q*bert, Asteroids, Centipede, the E.T. one, Dig Dug..... Those are the ones we played most. For those who played those, which was your favorite game? I was champ at SeaQuest

[@El_Ton_]

Yeah, that would be a fun episode! 15 seconds per game, so with 3 pairs, each gets 5 seconds to play. If a single player game then 2.5 seconds per game for each individual.

9:36 I cannot believe that no one figured out that you need to take them out on one side so they have to travel farther in order to go down a level. Seem like the very basics to me but of course I did waste many MANY hours of my childhood on this game. Clear from the sides as well and the bottom!!

I remember playing Pong back in 1972 on an arcade machine. I was 8 at the time. I am now 60 and still playing games. I had my first consol in 1978, which was called Grandstand. I always dreamed of having the Atari, as it was so cool at the time. The best games ever, in my opinion, are modern games which have great stories to them. Open World rocks my world too. However, I play all sorts of stuff. My Steam library has 1690 games. :O

[@mrcydonia]

Pitfall was hard game. When it came out, there was an offer where if you scored a certain amount of points, and you took a picture of the screen and sent it to Activision, they would send you a Pitfall patch to iron onto your shirt. I got the required amount of points one morning and woke up my poor dad so he could take a picture. I think I still have the patch somewhere.

I awoke one night back in the day to go to the washroom. I heard the furious rattling of light plastic in bursts, so i peeked out into the living room on the way to the bathroom. Turns out my father had been watching us play "Decathlon" all evening and was going ham on the controller. The very next morning, I noticed a disc of flesh had blistered up and torn off of the palm of his hand. Is asked him about it but he immediately and gruffly dismissed it.😅

Space Invaders moved the whole width of the screen before approaching, so the best strategy was to work from one side and destroy the first or last column to slow them down.

My favorite game wqa Kaboom!!! You used the dial control that you used in Pong. I got so good in that game that my Mom's BF covered my eyes and I still didn't die. I am ADHD and I think the game was really easy for my because you could learn to predict a pattern. This and Tetris when it came out, I had my own computer system that I had put together att, were really easy games for me. Most early racing games on Playstation 1&2 and especially the PSP were my jams and along with street fighter. Again that game was super predictive in the beginning. Then I switched to the XBOX and after XBOX 2 came out I was more into mobile games. My biggest problems is playing as 1st person. I can play the same game as a 3rd person but the moment I lose the ability to see myself in both shooter AND racer my brain just shuts. Certain things ADHD is really good at and finds for superpowers and then it lags so big in others that I never was able to really overcome this deficit and keep playing home games. I have to stick with mobile now. Plus after both my hubby and son(big time gamer there)passed away on 8/13/2016 & 7/30/2020 retrospectively I just lost interest in everything but loner games now.

The space invaders shown was not the 1980s Atari 2600 version. It looked like an emulation of the arcade version.

Exactly Correct. The A2600 Invaders were VERY different designs. I know.... I destroyed MANY-MANY of them back in the day!

[@katiehallan8542]

[@CowmanUK]

They all made the same mistake with Space Invaders. You need to keep taking the right or left sides out so they have further to travel across the screen before they can drop a level, and occasionally trim the bottom row away. I once played it so the score clocked over back to all zeros again. It took a good chunk of the day and I had to lay down afterwards before I had a fit. I do not recommend it.

About the graphics. Televisions back then had a lower resolution and so those graphics in some games actually looked far better than on todays high definition televisions. There are emulators made to play vintage games on modern television to simulate the original low resolution screen view.

[@EternalNero]

Knocking out the lower rows is actually the worst strat, the best is taking out the rows closest to the wall so that the aliens have to travel further before they drop into the next level and proceed again, knocking out the lowest just makes them move faster towards you since they bump into the walls faster and faster gaining on you

[@michaelnewman1151]

I was about to say the same thing!

[@davidhansen2748]

Nit: in 1977 Atari came out with the VCS (Video Computer System). It was rebranded as the Atari 2600 in 1982 with the release of the Atari 5200 "SuperSystem". I have a certain fondness for the VCS. It was my first (and only) game console, and I actually got a part time job demonstrating and selling these system in a large department store. When the Christmas season ended, I was stuck selling mostly clothes in the jeans department. Something that might not be obvious, but in the shooting games only allow you one shot at a time. You can't shoot again until the current shot shot hits something or leaves the playing field. This makes accurate shooting even more critical. Their Space Invaders strategy is wrong. Take out the outermost COLUMNS rather than rows so the phalanx has to travel further across the screen before dropping a row. It slows the advance. Take out the rows when they get closer. Don't try to hit the space ships, but do dodge what they throw at you. If you do hit a space ship, bonus, but working to hit them will distract you from what's important (the alien invaders themselves). Space Invaders was my favorite cartridge. I never played "pong" missiles in Combat. Either straight shots or guided missiles. I liked playing the airplane version of Combat as well...

[@ButterSpider3]

I am glad to see that they liked Super Breakout as much as they did. The Atari Flashback X that they were playing on has a major software bug processing paddle input. There is an update for it that fixes it. But, it is not easy to do. Great video. I am very glad that these teens approached it with an open mind and really seemed to give the games an honest chance. Love it!

[@DrHydro-pr5ox]

For Space Invaders trivia, I thought you would include that it was the game that invented "progressive difficulty", completely by accident. The programmer of the aliens didn't realize his code made them speed up each time more were destroyed, but they liked it so much they kept it in the game

[@manueldeabreu1980]

Intellivision had the best sports games and player vs player games. Donkey Kong was also closer to the arcade. Though I love my 2600 the 5200 was the best of the pre-Nintendo systems.

[@nobodyimportant2470]

Fun fact the first versions of Space invaders were not programed to make the aliens speed up as the game progressed. The starting field of enemies was so massive it overloaded the processor slowing the game down. As you thinned the numbers it could run faster due to having less to track. Later releases on more powerful systems added code to cause the speed change because it was a popular feature.

[@Naranek]

Lol, that‘s a great one.. thank you for sharing…

[@Banderpop]

Almost. The game always only moves one invader per frame, which is indeed because the hardware can't move all of them at once. As a result, the final invader can move 55 times faster than when a level starts. Faithful ports just needed to stick to the one-at-a-time logic rather than deliberately change the speed. The version they play here doesn't seem very authentic though! It's neither the Atari 2600 version or the arcade game, although it does seem pretty close to the arcade game.

[@mgordon1100]

​​@Banderpop It's Space Invaders Part 2, or Space Invaders Deluxe in the United States. They aren't using an original Atari, obviously, but one of the Flashback series consoles. It's probably a late model that includes the paddles and the tech to download more roms from the company.

[@yootoobnz8109]

Teased us with a peek at Missile Command, one of my favourites on Atari 400, but they never got to play it sadly, I loved it. Back then as a kid, I also tried to write my own version of Missile Command, not realising how slow BASIC was, combined with not knowing how to work sprites, my invading alien spaceship ending up being only one pixel big! Being incredibly difficult to shoot down a one pixel spaceship with lasers, we would find ourselves frantically yelling "shoot the ba*tard!!!" - which is what I decided to name my terrible version of Missile Command. From that moment on, I decided to learn assembly language - the best way to get lightning fast speed. Oh, I also remember getting a really good version of Space Invaders on cassette tape with my Atari 400, which combined with the Atari Cassette player, cost a whopping NZD$1554.00 in the early eighties - my entire savings as a young fella. A good used car was way cheaper. Fun times!

I see none of them figured out the REAL pro-strat for Space Invaders: Because the alien fleet moves down a row when its outermost units hit the edge of the screen, eliminating the outermost columns first (decreasing the width of the fleet as a whole) increases how far the ships must travel before moving down a row, and thus slows their advance.

[@Canteen926]

Yeah, as a decent player it’s aggravating to watch
