Atari Memories

[crmnsrl]

LOOKS LIKE HORIBLE GAMES but im 11 what do i know

[daytimesky]

Glad to see you remember Alley Cat also! For me, Agent USA (in which you take a train to different cities of the US, and there's a complex night/day system with 12 distinct times of day) and Ghost Chasers were great memories for me. Try 'em sometime if you can! :)

[tahapablo1]

Steve Jobes always the best

[randor962]

WOW, i played those games when i was something like 4-8 years old, i'm 29 now. it was like you flashed some of my old memories i barely remembered. most of those games was me first time holding a joystick with my hand, and since then i'm haven't stopped playing video games!

thanks for making me remember so much of my childhood.

This is a pretty good video to learn, man.

I thought i had seen it all, but know i'm checkin out the atari and it's games

So cool to see what my parents played, i want to play Atari too!

[Luki8009]

Najlepsze atarowskie klipy na youtube. Wielkie dzięki świetna wstawka

[dottorgonzo2002]

great!

[Relinque9]

Those 2 guys are just too young to understand...)

[dell4bq]

Can't believe any of the Infocom text adventures weren't displayed. Also none of the excellent Ultima I through Ultima 4 games were featured.

[PlayrBitz]

The first game is Blue Thunder not Airwolf. I happen to know this as I wrote 'em both. Nice video.

[gedzior84]

@PlayrBitz I don't know if it's true (that you wrote the game), but if it is, than I should send my congratulations for a veery good game you made. But the title screen of the one I posted, stands for 'Airwolf', and I think I would trust the title screen :) Or maybe would you like to write anything more about your game, cause maybe you're right about the game and its name.

[plusquamverbis]

dude can anyone tell me what s the name of this game it looks just like mario you are a little kid and there is like a bridge that closes and opens and you finish each level by geting inside his house anyone???????

[golo321]

dzięki za zajebiste odświeżenie pamięci . wiele tytułów się przypomniało a mam 28 latek :P

[FigenFigi]

good work!

[DwDrake2000]

SWEET.

[jugglingembalmer]

Defender was a hell of a good adaptation for the 2600!

[sincoderfx]

Gedzior dzięki za świetne nostalgiczne filmiki, jesteś mistrzem, a byłbyś jeszcze większym jakbyś napisał co to za muza w tle leci, bo pasuje do atari jak ulał:)

[gedzior84]

Hej, dzięki za miłe słowa :)

Kawałki to, po kolei:

AYUMI HAMASAKI - PROLOGUE (Hybrid Remix)

LITTLE COMPUTER PEOPLE - LITTLE COMPUTER PEOPLE

DJ SHADOW - THIS TIME (I'm gonna try it my way)

[DjMikeRC]

Zajebioza, same kozaki i wyczesana muza. To były czasy.

[Shemassault]

awesome vid, great music!

[PavirryPe]

Look at those graphics. We've come a long way. I still remember those days though. They had their own charm.

[kendoniemcza]

que bueno,los tiempos aquellos

[gladiluza]

me gusto me trajos recuerdos

[licemeat]

sweet man.... named the games and everything

[IlJDIl]

nice tribute video!

[c0ldelement]

:(** I miss those days of my childhood....

[stuartblows]

nice post man, happy times!

[bagotbogat]

this dont even look like 8 bit.:)

[theatarian]

@bagotbogat Well there's no such thing as "8-bit graphics", it's just something dreamt up by old marketing departments to trick people into shelling out cash for newer game systems. Compare the Nintendo 64 to the Gamecube, both have 64-bit GPUs and yet look completely different. All of the Atari systems released up to 1986 were 8-bit machines and all have different graphics capabilities.

[ajmarshal1]

Dropzone, Bounty Bob Strikes back, Fort Apocalypse and Boulderdash. My first 8 bit games and still some of my favourites. Awesome.

[dvamateur]

There was nothing like feel of the real Atari 8-bit computer. Thanks to open source foundation, we have emulators for Windows now. But it's not the same. Sad that Atari went out of business such a long time ago. I believe Activision is still around, and some other game manufacturers, including Atari. But very sad that there's no Atari hardware anymore. To me Atari hardware was the pinacle of computing, to this day. The 8-bit and the ST series also. These were great computers.

[bruceleeC64]

great upload thanks!

[homesweethomehull]

suite.

imma nick some for visuals.

[GeminoSmothers]

My heart is beating hard! lol

Atari is the BEST!!!

I have an Atari 400, Portfolio, 2600, and 2600 jr.

I also have an Intellevision 2 and an Epson Equity 2. =]

Star Raiders FTW!!!

[sol111d]

what is the second song ??

[gedzior84]

it's the :

artist: Little Computer People

Songtitle: Little Computer People

:D

[sol111d]

haha ok thnx dude =]]

[imrational]

The games I loved...

Zengi, Tail of Beta Lyrae, all the infocom games, Pitstop, Space Dungeon, Telengard, Agent USA, Star Raiders, "Crush, Crumble & Stump: The Movie Monster Game", Robotron, Bruce Lee, and many of the ones you displayed. There were a few others that I don't remember the names too... Grelbs?

Hey, anyone know if there was an end to the tank game, "Encounter"?

[GodOfVod]

dont remember Grelbs, do you mean Drelbs? where you were a walking eyeball?

Alleycat was loads of fun with all the tasks you had to do, thought the cat was really well animated too. And kikstart was a load of fun, I remember playing weeks at a time making sure no one could beat my fastest time...

[i8246i]

You've got the wrong link for the song used in the video.

Its a filler track from one of Ayumi Hamasaki's discs...though I can't think of the right disc or track right now.

Still, the song you linked sounds pretty cool.

[gedzior84]

I don't know how much this is true, but I've got this descripted as AYUMI HAMASAKI - PROLOGUE (Hybrid Remix)

[MTechnic2]

Awesome vid man!!! 5 stars, thanks for bringing back sweet memories :D.

[LtStarkiller]

I've been trying to find pics/video of a game for years. It was called "D.R.O.O.L." You were this R2-D2 looking robot guy and you side-scrolled down several platform levels to rescue some chick droid....I think.  I remember that you could fly or walk. There were these birds that attacked you and if you shot them, they turned into cooked turkeys that hopped around. LOL.

Does anyone remember this one at all?

[gedzior84]

I think I've answered you via PM, but I'm not sure 100%, so I repost that the game is called 'DROL' :)

[RoboFH]

Brings back so much memories. I got my 800XL when I was 10yr old kid... sigh...

This is not Crystal Caverns, I believe it's Crystal Castle. :)

[gedzior84]

My mistake :) Thank you

[Simon0]

very nice. i didnt own an atari but i still liked this (I had a c64)

[ironvader]

zajefajny filmik .Przywołuje wiele wspomnień :)

[avplgv]

Alley Cat!!!!

[ForcedToSignUp]

The guy who made that also made Bart's Nightmare for SNES.

He died.

@sergeu78 Actually that rudimentary car porgram wasn't Iron roadway, but it was an Atari Program Exchange APX think shareware back in 1982/1983 and the game was called Ion Speedway

[thonaw]

These were times....

[yotez]

REWELKA!!!!

[lhotaswimmer]

I'm so glad I still have my Atari 800XE working in perfect condition. All I need is to backup the tapes :) Thanks for his video.

[johnnny49]

I also want to say thanks for posting these videos. I loved my Atari computers (400/800/800xl,520ST). Favorites that I recall were Star Raiders, Missile Command, Temple of Apshai and a submarine game. I didn't see a two person pac-man style game I used to play with my ex-wife on the Atari 800 called Ghost Hunter. I would trap her in a corner of the maze and let the ghosts get her. LOL.I also wrote reviews of Atari games for many of the Atari magazines like ANTIC and Analog, fwiw.

[jedrzejszelc]

Swietna sprawa. Dziekuje za ten film.

Czy to prawda, ze gry na ATARI mozna sciagnac w MP3 z Torrentow? Pozdrawiam

[darekbola]

Bomba :)

[myomyo]

First off..THANK YOU for making such a nostalgic video :D I remember a few games that I had played when I was little, but I never remember the titles. After I watched this video, I finally remembered a few titles! Once again, thank you <3

[503084]

Wielkie dzięki, świetna robota.

[RadicaL3RuN]

dzieki za utworki... swoja droga przez pare dni juz proboje i wciaz nei moge odpali trzeciej czesci twoich filmow... buforuje mi sie moze okolo 5 sekund na minute jezeli nie wiecej... ;/

[RadicaL3RuN]

ja pierdziele gedzior jestes wielki... tyle tytulow mi sie przypomnialo odrazu w ktroe gralem w dziecinstwie... jeszcze nawet pare takich ktorych potrafilem sie jako dziecko bac hehe... :P mam jedna prosbe... podaj mi nazwe 2-ch pierwszych utworow... z gory dzieki... :)

[gedzior84]

siema :D

dzieki z komentarz - przynajmniej wiem, ze warto robic takie filmiki :)

Utworki o ktore pytasz to:

AYUMI HAMASAKI - PROLOGUE (HYBRID REMIX)

LITTLE COMPUTER PEOPLE - LITTLE COMPUTER PEOPLE :)

[Thomsonicus]

wypasowe wideo, dzięx że chciało ci się posiedzieć i zrobić

[cachimbo2008]

cool ^_^

[przemaz]

i played almost all of games you presented in this video! Lot of fun and lot of good memories.

[muzatadi]

chciałem go sprzedać na allegro ale jak to zobaczyłem to chyba nigdy go nie sprzedam

atari rulez!!!

[yousini]

6:55 GTA 0 hehe

[przemaz]

haha - yes it is the first gta version ever!

[Hrodarck]

do you know what was the name of one game i used to play it on my rambo atari.. i dont remember anything more that it was for two players and 2D and characters were really BIG humans.. we used to call it "hide and seek"..

[byk83]

Wspomienia. Bardzo dobra kompilacja. Zabrakło mi Pitfalla 2 i Behinda. No i jeszcze kilku tytułów :)

[IGExpandingPanda]

Correction

5:38 - Loco-Motion should be Loco(Alligata)

It looks a tad dated for 1986, but as it turns out it was a C64 game in 1984 ported two years later.

Loco-Motion looks like a centipede clone.

[gedzior84]

Wow, you're brilliant! :)

I'm updating the description right now.

BTW. I was thinking about making

ATARI MEMORIES 4, but I can't think of any interesting titles... Could you name some games that you lika, which haven't been mentioned in previous parts of my films?!

Thanks in advance :)

[IGExpandingPanda]

I already bought up Mercenary, one of my favorites. Vector graphics, and a funny sequence if you blow up the commodore or atari signs.

Eidolon (Lucus) - mostly cool from the back story perspective.

Zone Ranger (Activision) - impressive graphics

[Dan Burton]

Seven Cities of Gold - huge exploration game, fractal generated maps.

M.U.L.E - mega classic. Not so good in the graphics department but a true 4 player game.

Miner 2049er - Bounty Bob strikes back is already listed. 2049 was 1st

[IGExpandingPanda]

The Dreadnaught Factor - This wasn't "that" interesting of a game. You flay a small space ship and destroy all the parts of a space battle ship before it reaches earth.

Caverns of Mars - Sort of like Scramble

Cavernia -

Creepy Caverns - I don't have a copy of this, but as I recall it used a digitized voice. I think it was a PD release from Antic.

[IGExpandingPanda]

Choplifter - Atari version wasn't all that great. One fire button make it difficult to change direction.

Something else comes to mind, Karate based game where you have to climb a dojo.

[IGExpandingPanda]

Oh the game I was thinking of was Ninja, you already listed it.

Summer Games - I'm not sure Winter was released for the Atari. I no longer have this. I busted my joystick trying to run.

Beachhead - A nice series of mini games, I never completed it.

[IGExpandingPanda]

Ultima IV - Graphically it wasn't all that stellar, and I'm one of those who never actually completed it. Ultima IV departed from prior versions of hack and slash to a medieval quest for virtue. Brilliant and time consuming.

[IGExpandingPanda]

Oh, Jupiter Mission & the sequel The Quest of the Space Beagle.

[adamk27]

Czesc Gedzior. Jesli dalej szukasz propozycji gier do czesci czwartej to wrzucilem troche tytulow w komentarzach na atari-online.

Pozdrawiam

Urborg

[gedzior84]

Wow, thanks for all the good stuff :)

I'm willing to make the 4th part some day :D

Dzieki Urborg, zaraz zerkne :)

[IGExpandingPanda]

Some of my favorites not seen on the list

Mercenary. A vector graphic adventure where you crash land on Targ and must raise enough credits to buy a ship to get off the planet.

The frustrating bit was there was an add-on for more game play, but my version wanted to load it from cassette. I never owned a cassette drive.

Eidolon (Lucasfilm)- An odd steam punk adventure where you travel in an odd machine through caverns and fight Dragons.

[IGExpandingPanda]

Correction, Magic Lamp = Master of the Lamps(Activision)

I only saw the demo, the flying sequence looked cool.

[gedzior84]

OUCH! You're right:) My mistake. Thank your correction. BTW. It wa a fine game, with a pseudo-3D environment:)

[RossPK81]

Nice video, it's clear that you love Atari.

[sergeu78]

I think game new york city became prototipe of series gta.

[gedzior84]

haha, good theory :D

[lollapalooza18]

wow you made me go really back...!

[NastyPogo]

man, that was awesome, it brings so much childhood memories, I used to have a lot of those titles, thanks so much, beautiful video :)

[coolasshole23]

can someone tell me what is the name of this game 5:21-5:30? that was an awesome game.

[gedzior84]

This game was called LASER GATES :)

[Bruinpena]

Are you sure this tribute was not for the Commodore 64?

[gedzior84]

haha, as far as I know, all of these games are my childhood memories, so this would be a sin if I didn't know what type of computer I had :P

[Waca323]

To byly gierki, proste i beztroskie jak dziecinstwo hehe...Dzieki za filmik pozdrawiam

[alaggan]

This was great. I reeled off the names of the games I knew as they appeared. I never realised the 8 - bit Atari played host to so many great games :)

[blackd0t]

Rewelacyjna kompilacja!! :D Ach te wspomnienia :)

[ndrutheone]

Super filmik, miałem atari i dużo grałem, ale nie przypominam sobie Poyana.

Dobra robota, dzięki.

[Lajkonik]

Przypomina mi się moje dzieciństwo dzięki temu filmikowi. Pamiętam, że gdy miałem 11 lat i leżałem chory na ospę przepisując zeszyty od kolegów zobaczyłem jak mój tata wraca do domu i wnosi czerwono szare pudełko z napisem ATARI 65 XE. Potem były te gry, które oglądając ten film mi się przypominają choć tak na prawdę nie pamiętam ich tytułów. Na pewno pierwszą był wyścig rajdówek pokazany w tym filmiku. Żółta rajdówka widziana pod kątem od góry.

[gedzior84]

hehe, ja swoje 65XE dostalem pod choinke, razem z dyskietkami (tymi gietkimi) stacja dyskow, telewizorem, magnetofonem i w ogole. To byly chyba jedne z najszczesliwszysch swiat w moim zyciu, nie liczac tych, kiedy dostalem sanki :P

Gra, o ktorej mowisz, to chyba IRON ROADWAY :)

Ciesze sie, ze film sie podoba.

[korkoczong]

Gdzie Road Race? Robbo? To byly najlepsze gry ;]

[gedzior84]

ano, to wszystko znajduje sie w drugiej czesci ATARI MEMORIES :)

[radmor11]

witam, tez gralem w wiekszosc tych gier :)

Ostatnio mnie naszlo na odswiezenie klasyki wlasnie i mam pytan kilka o tytuly gier, bo nie moge znalezc romow dla nich, a powspominalbym je na zywo ;)

I jeszcze ta z 8:36. bylbym bardzo wdzieczny :)

[gedzior84]

hehe :P

ten helikopter to jest latajace zelazko :)

gierka bodajze z niemiec, nazywa sie 'NADRAL'. Dalej to 'NEPTUNES DAUGHTER' i 'NEW YORK CITY BIG APPLE' czy cos takiego.

8:36 - to jest 'SUBMISSION' :)

[yousini]

o tak submission teraz pamietam hehe

[gedzior84]

8:36 - to jest bodajze SUBMISSION :)

[ziper1982]

Jaka nazwe nosi 1 gra zaraz na poczatku filmu ?

[gedzior84]

a to jest bodajze AIRWOLF :)

[ziper1982]

Niezla kompilacja chociaz zabraklo paru klasycznych gierek glownie lkavalonu :)

[NotQuarex]

You did a great job picking interesting music for the game assortment--some expected, some unexpected! And it is always nice to see Super Cobra on YouTube.

[odislaw]

fajny klip...niezły pomysł z komentarzem w Basicu na końcu...

[gedzior84]

hehe, wlasnie kombinuje zeby nakrecic czesc II, ale nie wiem, czy znajde tyle gier :D

[uirapuruadg]

za-je-bis-te :D łezka w oku Gędzior ;)
