Im so glad this is on youtube, but Pat, any network or streaming service who turned this down were idiots. It's a fantastic series that deserved more.
I find it all so funny that Tommy is in this series given his recent punch out with you two. Makes me chuckle every time!

This whole series is like a time capsule from another age. About ten years ago, to be exact. You got people with now-defunct channels and others who no longer work together in their glory days. Plus a dead person or two. Not to mention people who are now older and different than they used to be. Its a video about nostalgia that is also nostalgic. Ironic, no?

My birth year. Crazy that it has been 40 years already. Damn where did that time go 😂 😂 😂
I gotta shout out LGR again. Dude knows his computers. Also, Ian just lit up when it was time to talk about wizardry. He was so happy. Good stuff. Nice work everyone.
Clint looked like he was in the Hells Angels back then

If you love it so much why don't you push it away with your neediness?! Okay, maybe I blew up a little bit for no reason..
I love galaga so much. It was the first video game where the music could get stuck in my head. Its instant nostalgia for the old bar my best friends step dad used to own and hed sometimes let us play the galaga game for free for an hour before he opened up for the day. Or the old pool hall a few doors down where wed go sometimes that had the table top version.
Yars Revenge still has the best explosion effects

That was a game we played for hours on the 2600, along with Pitfall and River Raid.
These videos are awesome. Pat and Ian look so young and untouched by amico rage. Tommy just looks like a used car sales man.

Often go back to this whenever I need something to watch because it’s great

Saw this series, on Amazon, before I discovered this channel. Found a great channel through a great series.
Howard Warshaw is a wonderful person
I like to imagine that Venture is the prequel to Berzerk. Winky the Wanderer found an evil artifact that turned him into Evil Otto and then he transformed the monsters into robots
Best video game show of all-time yo
Super interesting look at stuff that was a bit before my time but still was recent enough that growing up I would frequently come across these things as hand me downs and what not. As young kid obsessed with gaming in the late 80s I would spend hours puzzling out stuff like Yar's Revenge and Wizardry. Meanwhile these days I'm working on the back half of my 30s and still find myself endlessly fascinated with gaming in all forms, contemporary or old school, but at least have a bit of a budget to indulge in all the things I wanted as a child.
One of my favorite LA Comic Con memories is attending Keith Robinson's Blue Sky Rangers panel with the OG Intellivision programmers/creators... sometimes it really pays to check out the less popular panel rooms at cons after the big ones are capped off. RIP Keith!
Boy, I bet those semi annual TVGY reunions with Tommy Tallarico are really awkward now.
Always happy to see my friend Tommy here talk way too much (some things never change, I guess)
I would love to get a second season of it
Did David Crane disappear during the Defender/Stargate segment, or is it just me?

Yeah was outed as a cheat last year.
Pretty crazy to see Tommy in a series produced by Pat. Lol, crazy Edit: Honestly, this whole video series is a crazy time trip. Creators at the time who were considered mainstays of Retro YT no longer around. Clint from LGR looks so drastically different it's it's crazy.
how does this have so few views? these are well made
When are we getting the 90s?!

The Yars Revenge story amuses me so much
Galaga '90 on the TG-16 was pretty awesome.
Galaga was all time favorite shooter
That was Phil Hartman in the Ice Hockey commercial.
Gorf for the Vic 20 was the first game I ever played
"he shouldn't have had a pet gorilla in the first place" 😂
Best video game video
Lance (I think) sounds like the Squeaky-Voiced Teen all grown up.
Rumors has it he is still not ready for ice hockey
Does anyone know where I can find the full version of this shows music?
Wait, when was Clint a bass player in a southern rock band?
man clint looked so different back then. Didn't even know it was him until he started talking.
This series is really fun, informative, it's unfortunate so many of the contributors ended up just hating each other.
GREAT Series! Loved it! I watched from 89' back to 77'. Glad I was alive for it! Golden Years for Gaming! #CertainNESGuideBook #FleaMarketMadness
There were so many great PC games released in 1981. Many progenitors of their genre.
Entex was the shit. They were the king of the handheld market in the early 80's.
Glad you took the high road and didn't cut out the Tommy parts, even though I'm sure it crossed your mind lol. Good to preserve everything as it was.

It's just really wild how Atari sued Magnavox over KC Munchkin, and then completely shit the bed with their version of Pac-Man.
Whos the guy with the glasses and the grey and black Jumper shirt?
The Inellevision company sent the ET kid into Atari as the inside man to destroy Atari from within.... Also i just love watching LGR, such a character
I thought the spoony one was featured on one of these episodes
The Entex cartridge looks suspiciously like a NDS cart.
fmw past Erin Hanson calls out Billy Michelle's donkey kong playing
How do these documentaries have so few views!?
August 13th 1981!
23:16 a ghost is talking?
Besides Pat and Ian, I forgot that Arin Hanson was part of The Video Game Years. I love Game Grumps!
34:50 Zika virus Jay
90s version please 🙏🙏🙏
Tommy talarico is such a Chode and full of himself🤣😂😅 "Tommy the Tank Engine"
When was this originally released? LGR does not look like that anymore.
DO THE 90S
young clint is entertaining to see
Lets goooooooooo
Oh shit Tommy Tallarico appeared in these? 🤣
Despite their legal battle, Universal & Nintendo buried the hatchet and now there's a Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan (soon to be in Hollywood and eventually Orlando). =D
Documentary... interesting choice of words.

Tommy Tallerico before he started shit with 75% of the people In this video for not liking his current project.
TOMMY! TOMMY!
Too much fluff on some subjects, while others are just mentioned by name. I would talk bit more about the so-called "forgotten" games more instead. For example, not sure how Omega Race could be labeled as forgotten when it was consistently a top 10 money maker back then.

That guy with the glasses is always looking at Pat like a disapproving wife
"Words dumbest" TV Show with D list actors commentary formula... Yea lets do that but worse with ppl somehow more and less obscure at the same tim... but about video games. THE TOMMY TALERICO

Saying that Namco had a good 1-2 punch with Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man is just plain wrong. Ms. Pac-Man was originally a "hack" of Pac-Man. After it turned out to b good (and there's a whole story about the guys that made this).
