Nice work – good memories of the VCS there. Adventure really grabbed me – it had atmosphere to it.

Only game I didn’t own as a kid was Circus Atari…Awesome video…Thanks for making me feel like a fossil. 🙂

People have to remember, in the 70s it was amazing to be able to plug a cable in to your TV (the only one in the house) and turn it in to an arcade game. We had some console for Christmas in 1978 and the entire family was addicted. It was the first time we’d seen it so nobody criticised the graphics, we didn’t have today’s retrospect! Good times!

These were EPIC back then, but now… I think I could make most of them with Scratch.Mit.Edu in about a day MAXIMALLY. Who cares though? 🙂

Atari Invaders was always rubbish. The real Invaders was a stone cold classic.

Circus Atari was the #2 video game of the 70s? Dude, you definitely were not there.

Is it possible to send one of the clowns above the blocks, and have him bounce around to rack up points?
Myth Detectoron May 10, 2021 at 2:54 am
These games look simple but fun
And of course teens in the 70s didn’t need ultra realistic warfare games
they got to go to Vietnam and do it for real

Most 2600 games sucked and cost a fortune. Some people became rich quickly, while poor schmucks (like me and my brother) wasted very precious money on these rip-offs. I remember how the packaging of the games really made a big difference in the shop.. I was mesmerised by the graphics. And hugely disappointed when we got the game running at home.
Dominik J. Jasinskion May 10, 2021 at 2:54 am
I have adventure on emulator on my modded Xbox first time i didnt know a fuck what to do but now i like the game.
Davon Bensonon May 10, 2021 at 2:55 am
I remember I had a newer version of combat on my phone. That game was very fun.

Heh. I played about half of these as a kid. ^_^ Good times.

Maybe from my father…

70’s video games seems to be simple, yet competitive. Many games you played on your iPod, and phone were remakes of these games.
Cameron Scotton May 10, 2021 at 2:59 am
I’m a gamer and I play all of to 10’s list game that been made in the 70’s I was born in the 90’s but it was truly AMZING how people from that year to now learn more and more about making a game!

Cool video, but the only games of those Atari VCS cartridges that actually came out in the ’70s were Combat and Air-Sea Battle. Night Driver, Adventure, Circus Atari, Dodge ‘Em, and Space Invaders weren’t released until 1980. Super Breakout didn’t actually come out until 1981. (Copyright dates on the cartridge labels aren’t usually very reliable because there isn’t a lot of consistency.) However, the arcade games they were based on were released in the ’70s.

I liked the fact that the Atari 2600 at home cost you nothing (No Quarters) to play but the Arcade Game BreakOut was much better.
Jennifer Smithon May 10, 2021 at 3:17 am
I like this assessment of video games from the 70s. But I disagree that the Atari 2600 versions of Space invaders or Breakout is better than the arcade.

The Atari 2600 had a "cheat" on Space Invaders. If you held the start switch down when you turned the system on, you could multi fire and not wait for a strike to fire again.

Donkey Kong 64 has a bonus level based of off dodge me.

The atari 2600 space invaders if you have this and it works OK get it ready to play now when you turn on the atari hold down the "Select "switch and while holding down the "Select" move the "Power" switch up then release the "select" and there could be more steps I am not remembering right now.
Dominik J. Jasinskion May 10, 2021 at 3:32 am
I hope there are more guys like you . Also i like Wii but doesnt have it:( i have Ps3 , Psp, Oldest Xbox and im waiting for some retro consoles im gonna buy .
