The Video Game Years: 1977 (Part 1)

[thekoala038]

Pat are you going to end when the show goes to 2000 decade?

[kevenzz]

Great video but if you pose at 1:24 there is an error: ODYESSY ? oh well...

[johndelia]

@kevenzz Yeah, we just had that and one other misspelling corrected in the open - so yeah, we're on top of fixing this stuff (BTW, I'm John from Retroware TV who edits the show)

[person59523]

average gamer today..*7 year old raging at cod/halo*

[thekoala038]

@Yosefhouser Oh yeah it s fuck up today

[mitzibishi]

SLICK PAT. its just as well produced, interesting and entertaining as TV is. THIS is the reason i rarely watch TV. I have an under the TV PC and i never turn regular TV on. this is one of the reasons why, welcome to the future

[ChrisJ092]

I love this show already, I will definitely be watching the other episodes. :) And I loved "Grand Theft Auto". Ron Howard cannot do a film as cool as that one nowadays.

[sirvegeta]

Erm....I am unsure if the people participating in this video shower regularly.

[poltergiest11]

shit man, i still have a chucky cheese where i live! all these 70s and 80s work buildings and stores, like video land, and hella good wills...i remember always wanting to get tickets, but was to pathetic, so i went and pissed in the tubes and ball pits...wow i fucking want to smoke some joints in the chucky cheese joint! and dam fucking nostalgia aaaaah i love this stuff pat. peace and love all

[TheShakiebreaks]

THIS IS REAL COMPETITION!!!!!!

[ramadonker]

Were any of the guys interviewed actually alive in 1977?

[PatTheNESpunk]

@ramadonker Were ancient Rome historians alive 2000 years ago?

[KEWB99]

@mozzmanau Just because they weren't alive back then doesn't mean they didn't do their research. If you watch these guys you know they love video games in general, so it's not surprising they would want to learn more about them. This is giving some history on the era. They aren't trying to act like they were there.

[mozzmanau]

WTF most of these dickheads werent alive when these consoles came out. Who the fuck are they to be tellin us how it was???? FAKE

[mobilesuitZer0]

Reminds me of I love the 80s

[whatsup89100]

will you be posting the episodes on your channel

[PatTheNESpunk]

@whatsup89100 Probably not. If anything, we'll post up a teaser of upcoming episode parts. So when parts 3 and 4 come out for 1977, I'll let you know.

[derula]

Never mind the bollocks here's The Video Game Years (1977)

[snake2006]

Spiderman was created in the 1960's not the 70's.

[PatTheNESpunk]

@snake2006 The Spider-Man show came out in 77.

[TheJojo909]

@snake2006

True, Spider-Man was created in 1962 but I believe they were referring to the live action show "The Amazing Spider-Man" from 1977, hence the clip from the show.

[snake2006]

@TheJojo909

Yes I got that, but it makes like the show inspired video games about Spiderman, when really it would be the Spiderman comics that made people want Spidey video games.

[andrewthenintendofan]

is James Rolfe (aka AVGN) gonna be apart of this?

[PatTheNESpunk]

@andrewthenintendofan James will be busy working on his movie, so probably not for the next 3-4 episodes at least. Maybe once we hit the mid 80's...

[andrewthenintendofan]

@PatTheNESpunk thank you for letting me know im gonna visit retroware tv.com more often than i usually do for the new episodes

[mitzibishi]

@PatTheNESpunk AVGN is god, NES punk is Jesus, or Moses, thinking about that maybe hes Methuselah, dunno who that is just remember the name off an early Simpsons episode when Flanders gave Bart some religious game and swap cards

[jozefthedick]

This show is awesome!

[GobBluth1]

"hey kids, you want to get shot by a cop?" I died laughing.

[MissiGNO000]

they made a home pong console, so you can play it at home, ad then there's another one, and another one! and another one! and another one! and another one! and another one! there was like ten milion of fucking pong consoles|!

[DorkLord213]

Sort of a VH1 thing huh I enjoyed it hope to see many more

[goodbye2night1]

Looking forward to the rest...this was very well done!

[nintendoneil]

I only went to chuck-e-chesses once during the early 80's...the pizza tasted like shit, but the arcade games were enough to keep me distracted from the food.

[RetroFan1992]

Pat you forgot star wars and smokey and the bandit

[HENCEtheWEATHER]

Nice video, although to whom that edited it, please consider color correction to match the lighting of the background and the green screen capture. Also bring the filter down a little bit of the chromakey. Look forward to the next video :)

[S0n1kElectronika]

This is how the Irate Gamer should have done it, as appose to releasing one video a decade.

[TheJojo909]

@S0n1kElectronika

Also, talent and humor would have helped in ALL his videos.

[The420Northwest]

Those Chuch E Cheese puppets where cool when I was a kid but now they look creepy as fuck

[doeboy84]

This is kinda like a bad vh1 I Love The 80's show dedicated purely to video game. Just replace the C list celebrities with C list Internet personalities/nerds. Pretty good show:)

[weirdproq1]

Grand Theft Auto is a follow up to Eat My Dust.

[NESMASTER14]

haha awesome

[zeprefel]

This is a great piece of history but in the next ones please no more poop/shit/turd jokes

[chocobo77]

i hated pong back then...i still do.

[princedavid0]

WOw this is so well done. I love Retroware TV!

[GUBMENTxCHEESE]

I just finished watching the Discovery Channel's 5-hour documentary "The Rise of the Video Game". So far, this blows them away. Much more entertaining.

[MrJobocan]

This is like Play Value, but less serious. I like.

[Darksider087]

there should be a wood grain PS4 and XBOX720 O.o lol

[squirm13]

Of course, there was nothing at all like this in the uk, it seemed like a good idea, though.

[freeformaniak]

MORE MORE

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Had the honor of seeing this at MAGFest. It was great. I definitely see this going places.

[Trencher1375]

Very slick and modern presentation.

[HaiDoggie]

Ah man, hundreds of consoles with only pong in the "wooden age" of gaming. <3

[NudeRockENT]

This is everything internet television should be

[Yosefhouser]

If only they knew in 1977 that Star Wars was going to be ruined by the end of the century...

[BIRDANGAL]

I AM HAPPY I WAS NOT BORN IN THE 70'S

[nintendomaster]

Very nice! VH1 needs to take a look at this. Nobody wants to see Basketball Wives or Mob Wives.

[mekdra]

cuantas maquinas atari habia? utsoooooo

[Ghostblood1334]

Nice to brush up on some video gaming history!

[allthingsawesome2]

cool

[reaperflynn3]

I was scared shitless of those robots when I was a kid

[cshacker502]

70s=wood world

[emojo1990]

haha, this is the decade that brought us cod.... pet rock? way more exciting!

[VENDETTAsVIDS]

Loved it!

[ophelius111]

This video is as informative as it is sarcastic.

[ChunkyChocobo]

This is a really cool video i cant wait for the rest!

[PatTheNESpunk]

@ChunkyChocobo Part 2 is up right now at Retroware TV!
