I have a few questions: what is Pat's last name, 'cos I didn't get it, and how did he design Atlantis when Wikipedia says Dennis Koble did? And what dragon is he making? A Prototype to Dragonfire?

[goopah]

@MrColuber At around the 5:00 mark, the narrator says it's "Wing War".

[Mumie12345]

Very cool!!!!!

[snakes3425]

anyone want to bet the IMAGIC designer they featured probably ended up in the unemployment line soon after this aired

[AssassinateThisEzio]

wouldn't it be something if they had a beam gun where it could beam them into the digital world. :D

[ThePatrickinator]

I actually realized that Imagic is now owned by Activision.

[MagikGimp]

And then they laid of half the staff that year and eventually folded in 3 years!

@MagikGimp your forgetting the IPO imploded due to the video game crash of 1983-4

I love how the old monitors are identical to the Fallout 3 terminals :-)

[internetutorials]

holy fuck that black chick and that dude called mark are the disturbing kidsi have ever seen holy fuck they are ugly

I like how a lot of the things mentioned are as relevant now as they were in 1983. Twenty-seven years and we're still applying a lot of the same methods. (Though with FAR less assembly. ;) )

Every video should incorporate a random redneck juggler in it..

Guillermo del Toro @ 2:43 !

[SpamSpammity]

Oh man, I loved the 80s.

[RpKingman]

Wow! We're all very lucky that this segment was preserved all these years. You can learn a whole lot just by looking at what is in the office.. the old technology.. and methods.

Im not sure what you mean by livevideo. It was just another video here on Youtube that was in several parts

[kellyjinva]

I came across a documentery that a TV show did about Imagic that was also from the 80's. It was cut into 4 parts and was all about the original creation of Atlantis and everything in between to when they debut it at the CES. I havent been able to find those vids on here since!  Has anyone else seen them???

[TubeOfTerror]

Is it the one on livevideo? I think i seen it there lately while searching for videogame vids.

[gdement]

Old post I know, but yes, I've seen the Imagic documentary you mentioned.

The name of the show was "Enterprise", if that helps to find it. I think it got pulled off of youtube. It was an old business show apparently.

[scole66]

I think I know the guy who was juggling.  wow.

[GuyCC]

*sniff* I miss Imagic. Such a brilliant and innovative company.

Thanks for posting this clip; as a child of the 70's and 80's, I grew up on the old Atari 2600 and Colecovision video game systems and eat this kind of nostalgia up!
