History of Video Games (1972 - 2008)

[fogo95]

You "only" forgot the Neo Geo. Nothing too important...

[XxblackrainstudioxX]

videogame technically it started in 1952 where a computerized system was able to play a tic tac toe like game called naughts and crosses

[stang2712gaming]

what the fuck is this

[thiagoperim]

where is 3DO of Gradiente or panasonix????

[SchrodingersWaffle]

The difference between 6:50 and 7:45 is mind blowing. Also, I think they put the original SSB before Melee.

[BKILLS186]

OH YEA AND.... 7:52 NOOOOOB!!!!!

[BKILLS186]

CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

[rootbeer543]

2:43, is it just me or does that thing in the background look a lot like Majora's Mask?

[mikeimen]

Yo weres sants row, update dude

[warw72]

where is pc?

[gamboy13]

wait the earlyest hand held system was released in the mid 70s

[john22131]

oh wow I never realised that the ps1 was older than the n64 o.O I did learn something

[Nospertelaca]

Fourth generation lasted until 1996? Hell no, fourth gen lasts FOREVER.

[PurpleLombax]

wow lol i thought the PS3 was newer than that O_o

[koeiok]

it would be nice in full HD or at least 720, true game image capture and not cell phone recording and the original game sound where available with some background music playing all the time....

[dakilla2126]

the genisis was relesed in 1989 ont 1988

[Azin513]

i have to say, i love the current systems but i think i like the retro video games better, the systems back then were actually different, now most games are multiplatformers for ps3 xbox360 and PC, back then if you wanted super mario 64, you got a N64, you u wanted a game from another system, you almost had to get the that system (execpt for a few exceptions)

[EmirFelfel]

@Jellybean105607 No, bought a GB Advance instead xD

[Nick18125]

and where is Half-Life?

[Moonbolt]

No Channel F. Shame.

[pokeball1999]

pokemon snap!

[sirmyself]

The video quality is very very bad... But the content is realy interesting.

[cam5478]

sorry to be a troll but you should make a video of rare console add ons like the n64cd

[ilke10]

my favourite from the snes is zero, that squirrel who tosses the ninja stars

[Pacman0091]

my friend still has an intellivision

[Leland2point0]

there's a lot of mistakes/errors in here.

[apfrezende]

anyone knows what's the game on 0:40? I used to play it but I forgot the name :S

[vectorfultv]

@apfrezende dig dug

[bladeskater95]

@apfrezende DIG DUG!!!!!!!

[Azin513]

@apfrezende Mr.DO correct?

[Gowiiandpenguins]

You missed the very 1st game- Spacewar by Steve Russel

The Magnavox Odyssey came second

[Gowiiandpenguins]

Sorry, the Odyssey actually came 3rd, I forgot about Bushnell's Computer Space :(

[TheMr68impala]

hey ur forgeting the psx released in 04 only 4 japan it was a ps2 ps1 conectivity with psp a dvd player/recorder

[Kefka14]

Some of the dates are wrong but it was a good video anyways.

[xXShrimpzXx]

I remember playing horror games on my GBA and PS1 and it use to sacare the f*ck outta me even they they're pixels..Now game companies makes the Graphics more cooler but not the gameplay..

[FlyingKidProductions]

1:48 isn't that a mod for Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow for the Ds? U put it in the 3rd gen of video games! You could have put some footage from the first Castlevania on the NES.

[AirForcedude5]

3:17 spelling fail lol

[coffeman3]

WTF where is fallout 3 that game rapes halo in the ass and then climaxs all over it's dirty whore tits

[rockboy365987826]

7th generation started with Xbox 360? It had a disc tray, RROD, no games, etc.

[LitemyDay]

This is not history of video games. It is just a bunch of clips from games. It should be called evolution of video games or something like that. Still it was interesting to watch.

[TheJazzer94]

Halo...I hate it, is fucking horrible! Why you don't used scenes form serious Sam?

[WhenYouveGoneGuru]

Oh my god I remember that pokemon photo game. They had that at block buster as their only display game. I hated that thing yet would play it every time while I waited for people to pick their videos out.

[midgetsow]

what mario game is that at 6:46???

[chuckeieio]

awesome! Thanks!

[eminem8745]

@deathnoteluva .its ape escape on the PS1 i found it very addictive and was one of my first games i ever played along with crash bandicoot

[Royberg]

lol i guess you're not a brett favre fan

[musclemania85894]

ahh that brings back soo many memores, i remember being soo little begging my parents to get my a gameboy, pokemon is the shit

[angryslug1]

why do i see no halflife?

are you a halofag?

[zackfair73195]

Why put Halo in there? One of the worst franchises ever...

[MrAmonkey7]

wait I thought the 2nd generation started with the

fairchild

[SuperSuperMarioMan]

my fav's (or will be) are ractchet and clank and megaman, mario? I don't know

[deathnoteluva]

*groans* im looking for the game title of this game but...all i remember is it was monkeys that head red lights ontop of their head for helmets and it was some kid with spikey red or orange hair :(.

[OldSkoolSonic4]

@deathnoteluva its Ape Escape it was on Ps1 it very fun

[deathnoteluva]

@OldSkoolSonic4 ty!!!! ^.^

[arealify]

im wondering if anyone ever made a history of rpg's video starting with really old stuff like M.U.L.E. and legacy of the ancients and moving up to the FF13's of today

[Jamie10004]

actually, the snes was 1992 - not 1990

[Disgustipated]

@Jamie10004 Released in Japan in November 1990, USA in August 1991, and parts of Europe in the summer of 1992.

[risulaaa]

[zac9041]

UH the sixth generation is still going because ps2 is not finished yet!

[penske13]

@wiiboxthree man. somebody went off thier fuckin meds!!

[JustinSneedMD]

obvious troll is obvious fellas

[WhoLetTheGuyOut]

@1wdc Dude,Why. You are just a troll. No one likes trolls.

[gladtobe5]

@1wdc i agree that oblivion should be in the vid (though i can see why it wouldn't be) but seriously dude calm down and take a chill pill this ain't a good reason for nasty death threats! :D HAPPY FACE ALL THE WAY :D !!!!

[perrin26]

Commodore Vic 20 and 64? What happened to them ? :).

[Smokeresu]

Shitty Quality but Good job, you forgot a lot of consoles...SNK's Neo Geo ring a bell???

[CarmineDude]

1:21 looks like a wii

[mogul1265]

Im pretty sure the 2600 was sold longer than 86, around 91 92 i think.

[CarmineDude]

Mr. Game & Watch Rocks! he's in SSBB

[danielrrjd]

this is the story of home based consoles,

you excluded all the great arcade games of the 80's

but nice job !

[caracatoacacepe]

[cesarsancheziscool]

@Kilaisawesome NO



[scootsie119]

good video but y do some of the genreations start a year before the first system came out. i know the last gen you including the ds and psp in 2004. but there not considered 7th gen. not trying to be cocky.

[Chillyskims]

good vid but no cod 4 or super Mario 64.. tisk oh well at least u have Zelda OT

[lincolnhasapikachu]

Sonic the Hedgehog is the only game that actually made me cry :) lol

[appleyeoman]

[UA3333]

Game Gear

[scootsie119]

[xxHeavenHateGirlxx]

[ajortiz97]

compare gta 4 and pacman.......pacman is still pretty cool

[DBLZ12]

well you do have to respect the classics after all all the 1st gen consoles would be worth quite some money.anyway man awesome vid you should add me!

[feetlover149]

@DBLZ12 well i have the first original xbox and when i try to sell it im not getting a lot of bang for cuple bucks so do u think i should wait more or what any advice would be helpful

[DBLZ12]

@feetlover149 well,in years time,where Xbox's are rare,it will be worth some good and decent money,but the sad thing is,when you sell something,alot of memories go with it,so if you had alot of fun with it,and you spent dear time with it on games you loved,then keep it,for the memories. :)

[feetlover149]

@DBLZ12 thanks buddy

[DarPower1]

@DBLZ12 unm xbox will never be cool anyway, obviously since nobody bought one, as it might be good for some useless antique

[cesarsancheziscool]

@DBLZ12 no



[scuzzifuzzles]

no animal crossing?????????this video is a disgrace to nintendo(jk)but no seriously u shoulda put animal crossing on there

[ELIMINATORRRR]

hey plz could someone tell me the name of the song between 3:39 and 7:34. ive been looking for the song for a week and can't remember the name.

[krispsa]

the sound track from the film "requiem for a dream" i think

[ELIMINATORRRR]

thanks ive found it

[sergeu78]

Помню в 1995-м появилась в продаже супер нинтенда. "Цифровой звук, трехмерная графика, 30 тысяч цветов" так реламировали ее в Денди магазинах(сейчас их нет). Для меня тогда было пределом мечтаний.

[19nikola91]

lol i still can remember some super mario levels........

[EmirFelfel]

I remember I once got jumped for a Gameboy Color

[wiiboxthree]

holy crap

[michaelwaltrip55]

@EmirFelfel OMG!

[vectorfultv]

@EmirFelfel lol

[KomaruMedare]

Sorry, but Pong was not the first video game.

Before everyone flames me, I'd like to say that a game called "Tennis For Two" was created about 10 years earlier than Pong was, and ran on an oscilloscope.

[wiiboxthree]

i think i heard of that but honestly it doesnt really matter to me that much

[tormehammern]

But an oscilloscope isn't exactly a game console, it's made to measure electic waves...

And this video is about game-consoles that people could go and buy in the store.

It's not many who have an oscillioscope on the loft, and the fewest of the few who have an, won't even think about make a game for it!

[wiiboxthree]

well put

[fredfredburger722]

I think there were a few Wii games left out, like LOZ:Twilight Princess and you should have included a Starfox game. Anyway, what was that song before linkin park?

[kooliothepenguin]

Lux Aeterna-Clint Mansell

[f4saken]

you forgot half-life and deus ex!! grrrrrr

[n1g3ld34c0n]

5:41 Rikuuuuuuuuu <333 *glomps him*

[n1g3ld34c0n]

MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAT!! <333 Ha ha. Hell yes!!

[n1g3ld34c0n]

GTA4 looks awesome. PS3 version = WANT. No, wait... MUST. FUCKING. HAVE. O_O.

[thelivingstikfas]

oh srry that came out 11/?/08

[thelivingstikfas]

you forgot skate it! idiot

[smartboy1221]

dame you got games from back then and ages

[themagicsource]

u noob u copied the gameplay off of another youtube vid!

[wiiboxthree]

lol your point

[MatthewBrewer416]

What was that last song you played? I know I've heard it before, and just so you dont get confised, it was the one after the orchestra song

[wiiboxthree]

linken park - what ive done

[Massorat]

Amazing so many video games in history XD

[katmandu2k]

You never even cared to mention the PC. What about those classic DOS games? The golden aera of Lucasarts? The birth of FPS?

[OmegaCoolsterDX]

because this was history of Video Games for Video Consoles, PC has Computer Games that's simple

[Sirgalliant]

Not bad for the most part everything was where it should be generation wise only 2 small complaints. Doom came out originaly for the SNES and Sega Genesis. Oh and dont put moded games in your history of video games video unless moded games is a topic you discuss mario has yet to ride a dirt bike in the middle of what looks like maybe a gta game?

[kodi20002]

mario the best :D

[38Squid]

my Atari 2600 still kicks ass...

[sergeu78]

In Russia super nintendo was started only in 1995 year.

[LinkFangirl2008]

I remember the first time I saw Mario in 3D in Super Mario 64....It blew me away and convinced me to get an N64. I've been hooked ever since. Wow, I suddenly feel old. I actually remember being amazed by 3D... D8

[anime2192]

hahah Nintendo 64 has to be the best platform! I now own a new Nintendo 64 (I wore my old one out ahha) and a playstation 2...which i also recently wore out so i'm buying another one coz those 2 are my favourite platforms :) don't feel old for being amazed ar 3D! there's a first for everyone haha when did u first buy N64 i got mine in like 2000 :) i just noticed ur username are u a girl?

[LinkFangirl2008]

N64 was indeed a great console. Goldeneye, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time...The list just goes on. I currently own my N64 (bought in 1997), a Gamecube,a Wii, and a PS2. I guess I feel lucky to have lived to see games make the jump to 3D. Am I a girl? No, I'm gay for Link. :P

[anime2192]

haha gay for link ayyy? i was just wondering coz i'm a girl and i know only like 2 other girls that love videogames, but others will sometimes play if their in the mood..it just sucks coz i have to play with guy mates all the time...oh well i beat them all the time so i'm not complaining

what's your favourite? i was considering buying a PS3 instead of PS2 and also a wii

that's like the main things i spend my money on anyway :)

[LinkFangirl2008]

Yeah, I just get asked if I'm a girl a lot, so I figured I'd try sarcasm for once. I don't know many Female gamers either, but I can hold my own against my cousins. It really depends on the game. I am the Queen of Zelda. Favorite console? That's hard...PS2 is good, but I love my Wii. (Playing NMH right now)Still the N64 is a classic. I was lucky. I happened to find a Wii while shopping one day. Grabbed one, passed the display 30 minutes later, and they were all gone.

[DastardProduction]

YOU FORGOT BIOSHOCK AND THE HL'S !

[gc199]

whats the name of this song?

4:22 5:40?

[elfgelf]

requiem for a dream!!!!!!

its used way too much!!!!

[dragondxs]

Thats coz it OWNS!!!!

[anime2192]

AGREED!!!! Love requiem for a dream!

[JRYANER2K8]

great vid but wheres shenmue

[TechnicalSkater]

that was so funny when it showed mario drive into a wall at 5:22. but what about the atari 5200? the greatest console alive. jk

[KidVlogger317]

Actually the Famicon is not the NES, its the japanese version of the nes

[retrogamer500]

"Actually the Famicon is not the NES, its the japanese version of the nes"

Well, sure, the text was in Japanese, but it in the sense of hardware, it is EXACTLY the same (and by hardware I don't mean how it looks, I mean the electronics).

[KidVlogger317]

No, do research, the NES was released in the US, the Famicon was released in Japan, thats what i meant.

[GruntKibbler]

GREAT VID! I enjoyed that.

[pivotman999]

this was so awesome i

#1 favrioted it

#2 subbed too u

#3 i rated it 5 stars

[Ninjayoshi45]

5:07 did the dreamcast really last that long?

[Z3AI0T]

Wow, excellent. Video games have come along way. Compare Pong to Halo 3 - The result is :O omgwtfbbq!!! But you can sort of classify the Wii and maybe the DS too as a new generation. Because they involve like touching and interacting and stuff. Excellent video! 5/5!

[doodoobrownpoo17]

wat about dead rising, the first game to be released to the xbox360, and silent hill, and doom, and.... well u get my point.

[seventhfonist425]

Did you forget the first Super Smash Bros. or is it just me?

[doodoobrownpoo17]

but he put in melee

[seventhfonist425]

Melee wasn't the first one though! I'm talking about the one for the N64, and I checked the list for it and it wasn't there!

[sengelle]

cool vid! thanks for putting the Mario games and the Grand Theft Autos and some of the Wii games lol they r the hotspots these days! n I almost forgot...

I LEARNED SOMETHING lol!

[clicheusername2]

at 1:48, what game is that?

[ElectricAfroMan]

well, not really history, more like a few facts...

[chrispen9]

Thanks for putting Kingdom Hearts in there

[kekkba]

Was tetris in there? I didn't see. And what about LoZ:TP?

[topkid1988]

you forgot the video game crash of 1984(i think?)

[wiiboxthree]

no i didnt forget it just didnt want to include it

[topkid1988]

hmmm, i can see why D:

[mariolover2008]

changed a lot!

[koivu306]

omg pong is soooooooo fun

[XDRZERO]

i don't think so

[AlcatraZapierzo]

AND COUNTER STRIKE ?

[RetroVGamer]

cool how ya did this, but i just wish the quality was better

[starmanfp]

it's more the history of videoconsoles, and not the history of videogames, but good compilation anyway.

[Elkpchan]

Lux Aeterna was the song after, and this video has some incredible spelling mistakes.

Where are my PC games, broseph?

[hobbesdcc]

whats the name a the song after the mario song? and were was half-life and half-life 2?

[ffnewtons]

This should likely have been called "The History of Consol Games (1972-2008)

[blackavart]

AKA the Hidtory of Kids Games (1972-2008)

[xXCrzywierdoXx]

This IS what they were intended for after a certian point, children's "new-gen" toys.

[Jman6180]

kool

[111Mafia111]
