Retro, love the video as always. I work full time and spent all of my resale profits to keep a roof over my families head. All I have left is a stupid ridiculous VHS collection at about 3000 individual titles and about 1000 books. All in storage and not able to be enjoyed. Watching your videos keeps my love of the hunt alive in the rough patch I'm in with my hobbies. Thank you my dude. Thank you. I do still find pick ups "for my son" though.

I had that Amazing Robot Kit when I was a kid like 20+ years ago. It sat on the shelf because i thought my parents were trying to trick me into playing with educational toys instead of being on my GameBoy all the time. Well, one day, my batteries died and I couldn't catch 'em all anymore, so i pulled this down and had an absolute blast with it. I took it to school and showed all my friends all the cool robots I had made, and the next week, everybody came into school with some sort of D.I.Y robot kit!# Made for some awesome memories that I thought I had lost until this vid gave me the ultimate blast from the past! Thankyou so much, this is why I watch your nostalgic content

First of all, thanks for all the videos. You are part of my weekend ritual (not satanic or anything, just watching YT while drinking my morning coffee) :D Secondly, there's already a bunch of comments about this, but I didn't see one that painted the whole picture, so here it is: Computer Space (1971) - First Video Arcade Game Released (because there were mechanical arcade before that) Magnavox Odyssey (1972) - First Video Game Home Console Released Atari Pong Arcade (1972) - Was inspired by the Odyssey ... There's a few other home console that plays like the Atari-Pong Arcade in 1974 --- Finally, in 1974, Atari would release their Arcade Hit (Pong) as a home console. They did stroke a deal with Sears which released the Pong console you have under the Tele-Game brand in 1974. Due to production problems, the Atari-branded version (the one you have) was released in 1975. But anyway, Pong was, in my opinion, as important as the Magnavox Odyssey and it is an amazing piece of video game history. Congrats on your find!
