Hey G1s!
I return with a look at an event that changed the gaming world forever. Enjoy!
Also known as The Video Game Crash of 1984 (or The North American Video Game Crash), this event severely impacted the video game industry. The Gaming Historian covers the major reasons for the crash and the damage it caused.
I knew a bit about the video game crash, but i never really knew the specifics. So it was nice to know what really happened and the real effects it had and such.
let`s hope history never repeats do any of us have an idea if this happens again, i don`t want to imangine the terror that it will cause to industry and the gamer community.

Do yourself a favor and go look at thier sales, you know the same stuff that everybody complained about at e3... yeah they are totally crashing...
Bad games, you mean the "casual" games that make the "hardcore" gamers cry, yeah they are still selling... but yup phase one has already started...WTF!
Anyway, this was a really informative look at an often questioned topic. I didn't know that bit about the landfills in New Mexico was actually true! Good vid.
You really did your homework on this one. It is interesting how the mistakes and failures of yesterday are still effecting games today. Keep up the good work.
but you sound tired, or not exited at all about what you're speaking of...
I don't want to sound jealous or anything BUT...
Since this video is featured on RETROWARE TV
That you have 1k+ suscribers on Youtube
Do you really need to be on G1 Top Posts ?
Maybe You didn't decided to be featured but still
I'm not saying that to you directly but Why promoting a video that's already so popular ?

There are Games you might don't know

McFrosticles is a g1 too and has been really involved with other users and contributed to the forums and blogs. I'm sorry your podcast got knocked off but no one stays on top forever.
If you still have issues please send me a pm, the comment section is NOT the place to talk about these things.
I already knew everything that you said in this video, but it's still a very good recap for all these kids around here who don't know their gaming history.

So pretty much Japan saved the USA's future of gaming. Remember that next time your playing a FPS on your Xbox, or the next time you rip Sony or Nintendo. Thank you Japan for supplying good games to our country, which obviously has no clue on how to make a decent game.
Good video, very informative

This could happen...
Phase one of the crash is happening again, or at least for Nintendo. Bad games.

When it comes to megaman, there is nothing better than 8-bit music and graphics. Not that 16-bit crap.
Yeah... Nintendo is totally crashing...
