maybe someone can help me, i don't know if it was for atari but it might have been i am looking for the title of a very old game that was very much like jezzball except it wasn't balls you had to trap in a small area.. anyone know of any old varients on any of the old consoles?
God I so jealous if you still play these I remember loads of them and can't believe you have games like "rainbow walker" " electraglide" "chopsuey" "miner2049" oh I could keep going & going
@AnsonH1234 SHUT UP IDIOT, the problem is that idiots dont know how to apreciate videogames this days, I bet you only play CALL OF DUTY, AND LOT OF STUPID SHOOTERS,
Im pretty immpresed on games of atari you can see they worked hard to bring you a nice game, Im programer, and the 360 space ship shooter game really looks interesting, whats the name please?
Fuck you idiot! You don't appreciate old games! Here in former USSR we liked a lot ATARI games. They're until today interesting and relaxing ones, remembering to us who we were, are and will be. STUPID SHIT!
Great list of games ! I think I played all except for 5 of them. Spent countless hours on the 8 bit - had my own BBS as well. Some of my favorites that were on your list : Archon, World Championship Karate, Bruce Lee, Star Raiders , L.Star Fighter. My all time favs: Return of Heracles, Ali Baba, and Ultima III. Pre atari 8 I had a Vic 20 - loved Omega Race, and the Scott Adams Adventure Games. Thanks again for posting.
if you had already includede miner 2049er, you probably ditched the title music (babyish it might seam, it's very catchy). Babyish, because it's based on "there are 7 days". If mom caught me singing the song I would be in hot water, unless it was sung right in front of bella (in wich case, she'de know I'm teaching her the days of the week).
Wow!! This is a great trip down memory lane. I still have my Atari 800 and 1050 Disk drive, and I'm sure somewhere the disks that go with it. But having gone through some moves things were left behind by accident and I'm not sure anymore. I can remember fondly the fun times I had playing it! Especially Karateka and Bruce Lee. Archon was fun too! Great video.
What, no Quasimodo?!?!? That game had great music, graphics, and diverse game play. And Mario Brothers was a great port of the arcade. Tail of Beta Lyrae was one of the best space shooters and the music was amazing. And you forgot the all time best game on any platform, M.U.L.E. !!!
what was the 3rd games name? i used to play this when i was 3 or 6. But i'm now 15. lol. now what was the name of the 3rd game again? that was freakeeeeeen' HARRRD.
The problem isnt power its programers have to understand the hardware to be able to program it well. Atari 6507 assembly language was not a simple language to learn like the Nes ,however Activision always make great games
Actually Atari and NES use the same CPU type - MOS 6502, so their assembly syntax was identical. Atari was harder to program for because it did not have the powerful PPU video hardware of the NES.
@fpvshitsonhsv Like subj1 said both atari and nes games are written in 6502 assembly, which is not a simple language to learn unlike a lot of the programming languages that some people are using these days that are more high-level. Back then, there was no simple syntax in programming, well atleast not that I am aware of.
@BigDStudios16 I know mate ,im a massive Atari fan and grew up in both Atari and Nes era.Thing is even though Atari and NES share the same language programing for the NES is alot easier.The only ones that where champions at programing for the Atari based games was Activision.Activision is a third party software company that was formed from the best programers Atari used to have,they formed this after getting fed up with no credit for making the games.Keep in mind NES used pre rendered sprites
@fpvshitsonhsv That's true, the NES really isn't that hard to program for, I have been learning how to program for the NES and it isn't too hard, but I guess it's true that programming for the atari would be harder to program for but not because of the language, but the hardware itself. Ya, Activision was good back then.
@BigDStudios16 Speaking about programming, I find that today the code isn't as "Tight" as it could be, back then you had no choice, if you wanted the game to fit in the Ram available, you needed to keep it simple and straight forward. Today you have many gigs to play with and the speed is there to make up for sloppy code. I have/had many systems and some consoles but find the enjoyment of just hitting a switch and a few seconds later, gaming! Nothing like it....
Not just that man, do you have any idea how sloppy programming actually is these days, where there is so many types of GUI, front end / back end software & hardware & the CPU & GPU power is measured in Gigs, instead of bits, the programmers can now spend more time chewing thru doughnuts & watching gay porn then what they do compiling their own code.
This is why the games you buy today are riddilled with bugs.
Can i ask for help? I'm looking for a name of one old game, i think it was for Akari, too... There was a little guy on a brick grouns with alot of ladders. The guy could eat or ruin the bricks so enemies fell in the hole between bricks... that's all i remember... Does anyone know the name? T.T
Atari 8-bit is inferior to SMS and NES it terms of graphical prowess, as the latter have very powerful 8-bit graphics processing hardware (tilemap banks and hardware bitmap sprites). The only area where Atari shines is the ability to display up to 128 colors per screen (on different scanlines) where SMS and NES are limited to 56 colors. You can't compare consoles by CPU register size, as, for example, Atari 2600 is also an 8-bit console, yet significantly inferior to Atari XL/XE.
@damek666 atari 8 bit lines of computers are comparabile to a c64, retro programmers are finding the atari computers had greater capablities than they were credited for at the time, in europe they were sidelined by the c64 zx spectrum and amstrad cpc464, i know in the uk even the msx sold better (i owned one)
it may be down to how poorly designed and marketed atari's consules were the 5200 crashed in burned before it reached the uk and the 7800 and xegs were massive failuire as well
I hate it when new gamers can't appreciate Atari just because of the fucking graphics. Atari was the console that made video games popular! You wouldn't have COD without it assholes! I say this and I am 15.
Judging by the immaturity of your comment, your parents must have been in kindergarten when these games were made, and you did not appear until about 15 years after. So, please do everyone a favor and take your constructive criticism to your favorite "OMG COD4 RULEZZZ" video.
@ErikaCn100 Actually the Atari 800 games were way ahead of their time. They had excellent ports of top arcade games. Most of these games are from the 80s. In 20 years from now when people are playing games on holo-systems than the games you play today will also look foolish.
@ErikaCn100 HAHAH kid. you fucking haven't got a clue about good games. cod 4 is only good cos the software they use is the best and they have hundreds of people working on the game. these game's that you say the Graphics blows..is the Games that are the best. and if these weren't made, then COD wouldn't have been either. your one of those Kids who is stupid and needs to go back 30 years to be shown how stuff used to be and how much better it was than today.
@TutsModding lol I was a marine core army ranger for like 6 years and I was in iraq were I won the metal of the silver star and others to name a few. I have a lot of training since boot camp and in hand to hand fighting. I could crush you without even thinking from my army training.
@ErikaCn100 No. I guess, in those days, game development "teams" consisted of one guy: the programmer. He did all the grafics, sound, effects, programming etc. usually just by typing a code. The programmers are maybe genius, but they're not by all means good artists.
You're missing a lot of great games... Tail of the Beta Lyrae, Alternate Reality, MicroLeague Baseball, Universe (huge role playing game), Cosmic Balance, Realm of Impossibility, Choplifter, Centipede, Starglider II (I don't remember if this game was Atari or Amiga), Eidolon.
My favorite game on your list was probably Blue Max. I can remember thinking how great the graphics were because I could see the propeller spinning on the plane.
This is Part 1 only as you can see from the caption. You should have checked Part 2 and Part 3 before posting as some of the games you are mentioning are in there. The others are not though, which is probably because I don't count them among my favorites, e.g. could not care less about baseball games no matter how great they are.
@stunthumb Naw, C64 was better, but in terms of graphics, ST is better than C64. Also, it does boil down to personal preference, ya know? Personally, I love pretty much all the late 70's thru late late 80's 8-bit (& some 16-bit) consoles/PC's. I have them all/& all the ROMs/games for them, via emulators. Now, I am just looking for people to play assorted 2 player co-op/simultaneous play games, online (Kaillera Client) with. Are you into emulators/retro gaming @ all?
@gjc82071 Yeah, I am a big fan of retro gaming, especially the Spectrum, C64, and ST. My favorite 8-bit computer was the Einstein though, similar to the CPC but with a great keyboard and disc drive; was great for programming on. These days I tend to play a lot of MAME roms, in the progress of building a MAME cabinet.
I think I'm a little surprised tho at the games shown in the video - I wrongly assumed the 8-bit Atari computers only had 2600 style games.
@stunthumb I LOVE MAME. I've been using it since like version 0.27 back in 1997. Hey, do you think you might want to do some online retro gaming sometime? MAMEppk has Kaillera Client support. Have you ever done the online MAME thing? It's fairly simple. You just need identical emulator/ROM versions. It's really fun, especially for team play, co-op & versus, fighting/shoot/beat'em up type games. (Metal Slug, Final Fight, Gauntlet, Street Fighter, etc). Let me know if you're interested.
splendid collection, great compilation. Always like the look of the original Atari 800 in the shops at the time, it looked like a big serious computer! 800xl looked sleek and modern when it came out too!
great vids! are these recordings off a real Atari or via an emulator? you should caption the video itself so that we wouldn't have to look at the bottom text. otherwise, great job!
i still have my atari and nintindo and sega .....
now i add dream cast ...sega satron .....ps2 ....ps2..xbox..ps3 ....xbox360 ...wii ....and gamecube .....dame i have all them but some times i play the old mario on the old nintindo omg i remeber my childhood my dad bought it the nintindo in 1990 and the sega in 1992..thene i start buy them one by one
I love games from the 70s 80s and 90s. I think they're better. Like the Cruis'n games racing (USA World Exotica etc.) And the Sonic the Hedgehog games had great music. I like Donkey Kong and Pac man.
@samsonite8881 Me too, BIG time! I love the MAME emulator, & Commodore 64, Atari 2600/5200, Nintendo, etc. I am a retro gamers, emulator/ROM collector, & I used to collect real vintage consoles. I am always looking for other retro gamers interested in playing these games online. Unfortunately I haven't had the success I hoped for/assumed I'd have, getting people to play. Granted that playing alone is fun, but playing with/against a human player is fun too. Think you'd be @ all interested?
I think I was like two when I first played pit fall didn't know what the hell I was sopose to do at first but I figured it out on my own eventually : ) !!! Hard core gamer for life, go nerdcore....
I grew on this games. I remember almost all of those games. Atari keyboard with external cassette player :), games were kept on cassette as I remember. Now my cheapest calculator can do more than Atari :)
anyone remember the game where we were a diver and we had to get through same kind of maze underwater and there was shark, whale and some fish i forgot :D ????
Oh my fucking God, look at the game SWAT! Reminds you of something? YES, GTA! Damn, it almost looks like the first and second GTA games were inspired by SWAT for the Atari 800!
Thank you very much for uploading these wonderful Atari-Games. Its only a little sad that you don't use the original sound of the games.But anyway, its very nice!
where's Yoomp? or Crownland, or Bomb Jack? So many missing titles. Plus the original A8 version of Jet Set Willy was terrible. The 2007 version is much better, but still hardly a classic
So what is preventing you from making a video of the games YOU like ? This video is a reflection of my nostalgic memories which do not include the said games, especially considering Yoomp only came out 3-4 years ago.
@subj1 I guess you are right, but then I don't look back with so much nostalgia. I have been playing all this stuff since 1981. I do own so many coonsoles, but the A8 i keep coming back to. Only bought a dingoo when I found out I could put an emulator on to play Eidolon lol :)
WOW what a truly awesome video - to put 60 small snippets of each game on here, just enough for people to recognise is great, but to list all the names to correspond with the time is brilliant. I started searching the net for all the atari games i used to have on the 800 xl, i knew the names to some but i must have said "God yeah i forgot that!" a few dozen times watching this! Oh the memories! Great upload....
maybe someone can help me, i don't know if it was for atari but it might have been i am looking for the title of a very old game that was very much like jezzball except it wasn't balls you had to trap in a small area.. anyone know of any old varients on any of the old consoles?

@damek666 please note im not slagging off ataris consules off that period just they exibited faults that just shouldnt have been there.
5200 had flimsy poorly designed controllers, a poor set up system and a stupidly bulky machine.
the 7800 corrected most of these faults but put a very poor sound chip to save money, something they couldnt afford to do competing with the nes.
sadly when they got it right, atari with the xegs (a refined 800 from 79) atari had did far to much damage to itself.

This is Part 1 only as you can see from the caption. You should have checked Part 2 and Part 3 before posting as some of the games you are mentioning are in there. The others are not though, which is probably because I don't count them among my favorites, e.g. could not care less about baseball games no matter how great they are.

@AntichristComes I loved MicroLeague Baseball and Blue Max. My favorite of all time was probably M.U.L.E and AutoDuel.

Damn, I never had an Atari 8-Bit, just an ST - looks like I missed out while messing around on the Spectrum, it looks better than the C64!
stunthumb 9 months ago
@stunthumb Naw, C64 was better, but in terms of graphics, ST is better than C64. Also, it does boil down to personal preference, ya know? Personally, I love pretty much all the late 70's thru late late 80's 8-bit (& some 16-bit) consoles/PC's. I have them all/& all the ROMs/games for them, via emulators. Now, I am just looking for people to play assorted 2 player co-op/simultaneous play games, online (Kaillera Client) with. Are you into emulators/retro gaming @ all?
gjc82071 9 months ago
@gjc82071 Yeah, I am a big fan of retro gaming, especially the Spectrum, C64, and ST. My favorite 8-bit computer was the Einstein though, similar to the CPC but with a great keyboard and disc drive; was great for programming on. These days I tend to play a lot of MAME roms, in the progress of building a MAME cabinet.
I think I'm a little surprised tho at the games shown in the video - I wrongly assumed the 8-bit Atari computers only had 2600 style games.
stunthumb 9 months ago
@stunthumb I LOVE MAME. I've been using it since like version 0.27 back in 1997. Hey, do you think you might want to do some online retro gaming sometime? MAMEppk has Kaillera Client support. Have you ever done the online MAME thing? It's fairly simple. You just need identical emulator/ROM versions. It's really fun, especially for team play, co-op & versus, fighting/shoot/beat'em up type games. (Metal Slug, Final Fight, Gauntlet, Street Fighter, etc). Let me know if you're interested.

gjc82071 10 months ago
I love games from the 70s 80s and 90s. I think they're better. Like the Cruis'n games racing (USA World Exotica etc.) And the Sonic the Hedgehog games had great music. I like Donkey Kong and Pac man.
samsonite8881 11 months ago
@samsonite8881 Me too, BIG time! I love the MAME emulator, & Commodore 64, Atari 2600/5200, Nintendo, etc. I am a retro gamers, emulator/ROM collector, & I used to collect real vintage consoles. I am always looking for other retro gamers interested in playing these games online. Unfortunately I haven't had the success I hoped for/assumed I'd have, getting people to play. Granted that playing alone is fun, but playing with/against a human player is fun too. Think you'd be @ all interested?

@subj1 I guess you are right, but then I don't look back with so much nostalgia. I have been playing all this stuff since 1981. I do own so many coonsoles, but the A8 i keep coming back to. Only bought a dingoo when I found out I could put an emulator on to play Eidolon lol :)

WOW what a truly awesome video - to put 60 small snippets of each game on here, just enough for people to recognise is great, but to list all the names to correspond with the time is brilliant. I started searching the net for all the atari games i used to have on the 800 xl, i knew the names to some but i must have said "God yeah i forgot that!" a few dozen times watching this! Oh the memories! Great upload....
