That's Incredible - First Video Game World Championship

[JGleicher3]

I remember seeing this on TV when it was Broadcasted ABC. So nice to see it on U Tube again.

[0w3nSm1th]

this is like video game ESPN

[SwagxFusiionZz]

[AxlMassacre1991]

[WebbSkate]

please rise for the nerds

[mpontheair2]

0:30 "The Nintendo Company"

[Stalin777RUS]

Like i said people where looks retarded at that ages!And they had noting Like if 2012 rules!

[theassassin329]

and they thought they were good graphics...

[TheOtherLioyd]

@theassassin329 They were. There's more to graphics than bloomy bump-mapped brown. Good use of color, well-drawn sprites, good animation are things that don't age.

[nuslliw]

WAY TO GO JUSTIN- I mean...TODD!

[Fiddlemaster56]

Not bad getting a kiss from Christie Lee.

[emlsox4life]

@Fiddlemaster56 It's Cathy Lee,lol. I think you had Christie Brinkley on the brain.

[Fiddlemaster56]

@emlsox4life I would never guess that was Cathy Lee. I didn't know who she was until right now. From the poor quality of video it looked like Christie.

[ShiningNow]

A "Video Game Invitational" is not a "World Championship". Sigh.

[TheFrenziedPianist]

How the f did I get here?

[renoufabraham]

@TheFrenziedPianist you say that on a lot of youtube videos

[Legend813a]

Mario was EVIL back in the early 80's

[Legend813a]

Cosmos looks like Astro Blaster to me

[XnGuIDenX]

omg!!!! geeks!

[ItsTiedToAStick]

Wow 4 separate arcades/games. Why don't they do that these days? Start off on an FPS, move onto a racing game, then a rhythm game and finally a puzzle game.

[lenzorg]

Burgertime is the most underrated game in the history of gaming imho.

[petepiaire]

damn that was really entertaining! haha

[rhadetre]

I was hoping to see a zerg rush.

[gleetus]

I totally forgot about burger time! totally awesome!

[oozecandy]

We're quickly shitting toward the 50 thousand point goal- wtf?

[69Askani]

wow!!! that was really invigorating..

[lilrickets]

Darren choked.......... frow frow.

[Iwannaplayssbb]

epic announcers....

[ftwelve12]

lol the audience

[TheDrawingbutts]

No matter what era,, nerds will always look like nerds,, lol

[banhotsu]

nitpickers kill gorillas?

[mhart9055]

poor ladie she had to kiss three monkeys

[KartKing4ever]

They couldn't beat me in Gears of War.

[perun1nj]

Damn, those announcers are awesome, they make it sound so intense

[bedtime420]

haha 6 years before i was born, but  it still feels like ive seen this before.

[AmherstParkour]

MLG Pros

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

6 people can't match up with ANY of these competitors.

[Djcheeto916]

Not surprising the fattest one had trouble with the hot dogs and burgers lol XD

[Legend813a]

@Djcheeto916 I don't know why it was labeled "Cosmos" that was Astro Blaster and it was made by Sega in 1981, the game has a 'warp' button, that slowed the alien ships and their shots down for about 15 seconds.

[ronkrepps]

On the first game cosmos why is one guys meteors moving really fast and the other two guys are going slow?

[cyberdaemon]

@ronkrepps That was also a world first game hack championchips ;)

[cciemail]

what was that first game? it looked like Galaga.

[playstationrulz11]

Every child should spend hours and hours a day playing such games. It's time well spent (much better than watching masterchef) and maybe they too could become world champion.

[reinehcreinehc]

this is so epic

[liveecarbme]

So many memories, so many old styles of dress...so long ago and I still can't STAND Jon Davidson!

[zazzhands]

suck on that canada!

[roryhintonmusic]

dont you just hate it when you pepper in the wrong direction? :/

[CircaMay85]

That's Incredible !!!!!!!

[nazaxprime]

A flock of nit pickers?

Dude, Youtube needs to be renamed to Donky-Kong Jr.

;P

[TheSourRPickle]

1:50-2:05 that announcer is saying a tongue twister or some shit LOL

[revolutionactiondk]

world champions!!!! in the states ....

[FutureNewsAnchor]

They all look like they're ready to throw down... ready to throw down their TEXTBOOKS, that is.

[Linkzsss]

lol i just finish this video and saw my Xbox360, PS3, Wii and Computer and I thank God for 3D Cards and Graphics :D

[slugnbozo]

@Linkzsss These games were much more than good graphics. They had a style of playability that made them timeless. This is why the early 80s was known as the "golden age of video games". In comparison, your 3D game will almost certainly be forgotten in 30 years.

[MADPURO]

gotta love videos like this one..specially when it has to do with gaming

[EmpireArcadia]

Ahh....the humble beginnings. If not for times like this...there would be no Halo, COD, Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom or any other competition that some of the gamers so disrespectfully deny their heritage. Ever wonder why you'll never become anything in gaming? It's because you don't respect your roots.

[TheBlueName]

who needs CoD or Halo when you can lure hot dogs for a quick kill !

[Pdiminator]

Thumbs up if you are from Dallas, Texas like the kid in the red!

[carlsetzer]

I like the referee keeping an eye on them; how do you get a penalty in this competition?

[RandomWithWolfeyt]

called...papa? thats donkey kong...

[slugnbozo]

@RandomWithWolfeyt I wonder if they wondered why it wasn't called "Papa Jr"?

[gmoneystyle85]

Why is everyone in that audience like 60??..do any of them even know what a video game is as they are watching these guys

[Dutchie20]

This is so awesome..

[kurogane2x]

seriously the most manly gamer there is the blue one.. the red one... sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooo nerdy :))

[1234Molotov]

Nerd Olympics.

[NoFatAsiansPlz]

Todd Clutched xD

[V1roN]

that was esports in the 80s

[jfarrell85]

they're all fighting so hard to keep their boners down after that blond kisses them at the end.

[Lapdol]

:(  )

[Lapdol]

:()

[WizardPlayHD]

Hey.. that's my dad!!!

[BigTex541]

@WizardPlayHD Which one?

[rminitials]

"14 thousand points behind, Tod suffers another set-back. He's bitten by a spider"

[rminitials]

They run like girls xD!

[hurricane2142]

[AKIRTV9]

[IceMakKneeGrows]

[TheSeventhGuitar]

Aaah, I remember the good 'ol days!

Well, not really...I'm from sweden, and here everything comes "late".

[gentlepersuader]

I love how it's "World Championship" with two Americans and a Canadian!

[thesilvernymph]

@gentlepersuader Japan should of been invited.. but thats about it

[xXBenOpsXx]

@gentlepersuader thats cause were the best gamers obviously because we sit on our asses playing video games the most

[BayviewFinch]

@gentlepersuader - It's hard to believe now, but at the time North America was the most technologically advanced part of the world. People from other parts of the world simply didn't have these games. Teenage games in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. were sex, drugs, and alcohol.

[mega2k1]

better than footbal world cup

[xAlexRiox]

these guys are MLG

[amjan]

Haha, the older folks in the audience didn't know what the hell was all of that about.

[GTAMyth2311]

i want see them in black ops ofc if they are still alive

[slugnbozo]

@GTAMyth2311 Silliest comment ever. I'd like to see how far you'd make in Donkey Kong Jr. And if they were 16 at the time, they'd be 44 now. Hardly the typical age for dying.

[GTAMyth2311]

@slugnbozo well i told if they are still alive and 44 its not o much

[ps3animalfunds]

DAD IS THAT YOU D:

[xlBreeZzy]

[setsunasamachan]

5:46 - how dare they call Mario (Merry-o?) evil.

[negtype13]

TOTALLY reminds me of Rush and their video "Subdivisions!!" (fact that one's from Canada tops it off!)

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/

Fuckin' Burger Time, Millipede, and Donk Jr.!! LMAO!!

SOOO fuckin' 80's and CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!! 

[messenger360]

[XMagicFingersX]

[NoeLPZC]

Well that was... no, exciting isn't the right word... fucking gay? Yeah, that works.

[hngryGenghis]

Genghis wishes he arrived 30 years earlier so he could have vanquished these brave warriors as well.

[chodemufin]

[pufixas]

@Cheese652

[Mrcomphelp324]

@Cheese652 They said the first game CHAMPIONSHIP... dumbass

[jack5161996]

i bet if we went back in time for 30 years and brought our games today they will have a heart attck

[yaywhewclips242]

the hosts' commentary is inane and unnecessary.

[Arceusvids]

Well hello there, Eric Forman :D

[ghostshadow25]

[zoneowner865]

[MrMahrab]

[joelui89]

[Foolishpleazure]

@joelui89 think there was only only 3 from what I saw but man back then,I used to be a really avid gamer,and still am,and could wipe the floor with a lot of people that challenged me.lol,those were the days.

[artofwar420]

Button Mashing! Button Mashing!

[IRBaboonVideo]

You know, the show seems cheesy now but it was actually pretty far ahead of it's time (at least as far as gaming as a competition.)

[jeffrey44]

I can see Kenny from South Park at 0:25

[jeffrey44]

That's Incredible!

What were the audience watching? There were no big screens showing the games.

[returnofjake]

Damn that evil Mario.

[azol87]

[Mrcomphelp324]

[redblugreenjello]

@Mrster LOL

[whalesex]

"Luring in hot dogs for a quick kill". Quote of my life.

[nickXdillinger]

@supermasterlinkx123 She said "Milpitas, CA" but if it's any consolation, the entire town smells like butthole during summer, because there's a giant sewage treatment plant located there.

[MOMORPIGER]

The fuck is this shit...

[AtomicJanitor]

Yeah,! Fuck Canada!

[ll562kiidll]

This is like MLG back in the days lolol
