The Video Game Years 1986 - Full Gaming History Documentary

[@andyp.8662]

Love the series! Hopefully funding can come for 1990 and beyond

[@scribe8630]

Pat openly said on a podcast he doesn’t think it’s possible - I would love for it to happen, this show didn’t get the exposure and respect it deserved when it aired originally

[@Unquestionable]

@@scribe8630 That's a shame. Lots of gaming history videos but this one had a nice mix of everything with lots of fun insight from tons of people who grew up on it.

[@EirkenElite]

Yah I think they need a better director to make this

[@tomatotomatoe7253]

Just gimme a donate button

[@tomatotomatoe7253]

@@scribe8630 I still think they kinda approached it unprofessional nice to joke and have fun but some scenes u can see pat and Ian kind of arguing and getting irratable and it really was all based on 40ish gamers opinions of what I would assume was a high school cliche of friends. Still good series though

[@minimalchill]

Thanks Pat for rereleasing all of these. I truly love this series. I was there when RWTV was firing on all cylinders. Met one of my good friends through the forums there. I was in Texas and he was in Canada. Now I live in Minnesota and we still keep in touch. This series brings back so many memories, and not just for the games and stuff. So good. Thanks again Pat! And thanks to all the people who worked on this. This show rules!

[@joezinn2464]

Eric Lappe calling it "paper rock scissors" instead of "rock paper scissors" only furthers my suspicion that he's from an alternate timeline.

[@chrisbeach423]

The production and work put into these are so amazing, I know these are old videos and have watched them before.. but they definitely stand the test of time. Hopefully more viewers see them now, especially after the Karl Jobst cameo. These deserve millions of views.

[@youreallyplaythat]

Series is top-notch. Thanks for pooling them together like this.

[@neptune711]

Love this series! Would love to see 1990 and beyond... even just the rest of the 16bit era as it only just started heating up!

[@jammycooks]

Ah, this whole series is my comfort place. I watch it almost every day on a loop while I get work done. I know you've talked about changing up the format if '90s ever happens but...idk you have something special here.

[@michaelg3671]

Amazing work Pat. Thoroughly enjoying these.

[@knalleballkalle8365]

Alex the Kidd was my first game ever on a console on the PAL version Master System II, it was already programmed in the console so I played it a lot. Then I bought Ultima IV and I didn't really understand the game mechanics in the beginning but eventually grew to be my favorite genre.

[@josephsenko4294]

Absolutely love this series. I mean, you guys always give me some good entertainment, but these videos actually make me emotional. The depth of the content and love that clearly went into it is super apparent. On a side note, I'm convinced this is where Tommy got the Amico seed planted... I'm not blaming anyone, just laying out the pieces and letting you put them together 😂

[@CrissWolfman]

Ian's ultra relaxo dance during Pat singing the Fantasy Zone theme is my love language.

[@TerminallyNerdy]

I was the weird kid who had a Sega Master System. My dad got me 2, the OG version with the card slot and the smaller version later.

[@vincenzosanzaproulx4665]

Thank you!! This series is awesome!! Very thankful for this!! Hoping it stays through the 90s’!!

[@spinninbackfistz7997]

Wow! As a video game lover since 1982 and a you tube fanatic, i have to say your videos are super top notch quality for both production and content quality and they are entertaining and informative as well (and have a magical element that makes me feel like Friday nights renting a new game in 1988 or reading a new issue of nintendo power back in the day!!!!) Rock on!!! ✌️

[@freddyvidz]

I wish Sega would have gotten the third party support. It would have interesting to see what Konami & Capcom could do with the Master System.

[@LinkBlade24]

Thanks pat and everyone else that did these

[@handsomejonni]

This is a great series! Keep it up!

[@JonathanMulderMarston]

Such a great show! One of my all time favorites. Like a lot of others dropping comments, I really REALLY wish the circumstances would evolve that would bring us new episodes from 1990 and onward!

[@ezequielgomez7083]

Outrun was one of my all-time favorite Sega Arcade Driving Game ever that I was a huge fan my favorite soundtrack was Magical Sound Shower and Pressing Breeze.

[@gex581990]

Clan of the Gray Wolf! We miss your content man! Come back! Glad to see you here at least

[@Aries73]

OutRun proved to me that I had no business trying to get a drivers license.

[@SuperColdLemonade]

Really like this series. So cool that there is a new episode =)

[@spinninbackfistz7997]

This series is so well done! Top notch professional work! If you guys keep making them I’ll keep watching them over and over haha ✌️

[@thomasmeehan4581]

This is a great series. Thank you very much, i'm gonna check 'em all out if I can.

[@HoT_ToucH]

I literallly watch this series at least twice a year, PLEASE bring the 90s! I’ll share funding links, spread the word, just please do the 90s! 💫

[@TheCreepypro]

I always forget that the master system and the 7800 came out this year

[@CEEPMDEE]

I love these episodes.

[@ShamrockParticle]

You nailed the Atari 7800 perfectly. Great call-out of Gremlins for the 5200 too! Amazed it got support up until then. Great overview of the year. Much thanks! I recall the video thumbnail having a photo of the Atari XE Game System but it's not indexed?

[@saschavandl6693]

Amazing Work. I Really appreciate this stunning series. Superb.

[@stewartbladensb]

The master systems legacy was far more than Japan and the USA? It wasn’t even popular in the US. It was waaaayy more popular in England and the EU.

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

24:56 Because the monsters of RAMPAGE were based on the old school, OG 'Monsters of Hollywood', *THATS* why.

[@thomaskasprzak6290]

I was just playing 720 at a local pizza joint this past weekend. Loved the game back then and still love it now.

[@dsan558]

Fun watching pat and Ian get annoyed with each other.....Ian does a great pat impression of epyx

[@30somethingmanchild]

Random thought, but Ian's hair looks great in this video 🤣 Really. No sarcasm.

[@gametourny4ever627]

I would love to see this series come back somehow. It would be cool if Pat took a break after the next Certain Guide Book came out and somehow pulled things together to do enough pf these episodes to finish off the Nes years at least. 90-94 would be cool. All the great 16 Bit stuff, Awesome late 8 bit stuff, and the early primitive 32 bit stuff.

[@NateB1976]

Hey Pat just wanted to say the episode of you on Pawnstars was on tonight. I watch the reruns every night at 2am on WBXX.

[@sixpakmak]

Yes!!! 😁😁😁 another great episode! You rock Pat and crew!!

[@jasonwood77]

You missed the arcade game Rastan. The Conan the Barbarian clone hack n slash! Loved playing that game in the arcade!

[@bathombre9739]

I had it for the master system

[@CallousCoder]

Aaahh 1986, the year I lost my virginity during orientation camp of secondary school. What a year… the video games were fun too btw. Outrun which I actually played the year later at snackbar across the street. I have a fun story whilst I drive all the stages about that. In order to reach all the stages I first hacked the video game in the previous video. As much as I loved it I never make it past stage 4 and getting there was even rare.

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

Awesome thanks !

[@mrp4242]

23:45 . Me. This console was made for kids (and families) like mine…kinda poor, but not poverty level, kids. My parents were not fans of video games in general, in no small part because of cost. So at age 13, I finally convinced my mom to pick up an Atari 7800, which was on sale for half price. I was 13 by this time and my friends were already playing NES or C64 (except those families that had a 2600 and refused to upgrade to an NES). I was the only one of my friends with a 7800-I didnt care. Over the next couple years I picked up 11 7800 games a a dozen of the best 2600. I was proud of that library, except Karateka. The 7800 served its purpose--until I replaced it with a SNES.

[@CheckmateFixit]

I always wanted the 7800 and never could understand how a console like the NES could NOT have a joystick! I figured it out years later.

[@KennyTew2]

My experience of the mid to late 80’s from the UK was 1 cousin with NES 1 friend with Master System 1 friend with C64 Everyone else has ZX Spectrums. I think the ratio of C64’s to Spectrums changes in favour of the C64 amongst wealthier families.

My buddy down the street from me got the Sega Master System about a year before my grandmother gave me the NES for Christmas '87. Initially I was green with Envy to my friend because it was obvious the Sega had better Graphics. Then for my Birthday (Jan 1) of '88 my parents got me Tecmobowl! My buddy with the Sega Master System pulled out "Great Football"... LMAO we both recognized what a POS it was! That year at the arcade mine and my friends favorite game waaas "Doube Dragon" and luckily it was coming out on BOTH the NES and Sega Master System! By now I grew to love my NES but also recognized the Sega console was more powerful. To my shock my NES Version of Double Dragon was MUCH better than the Sega console version. After that I had no doubt my Grandmother bought the RIGHT console for me Master System while tech better had shit games. (I know it had handful of good games).
