TylerEspo Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Forgive me if this is in the wrong place. My name is Tyler and I am the creator of YouTube channel "My Retro Life". I wanted to share this new video I made over here on AtariAge, as I feel like it's culturally significant for us retro gamers, especially the Atari gamers who were born in the late 70s. This is a mini-documentary on the Video Game Crash of 1983, but told from the perspective of my family from New York. My Dad and Aunt loved buying and playing Atari games in the years before I was born ('86 baby here). I only found this footage recently on my last trip to New York. I asked my Aunt if she had any more home movie tapes in the basement, and she did! You'll notice from the thumbnail one of the more special moments of this is my Aunt opening up a copy of the rare "Halloween" from Wizard Games. You'll see it here among other Atari games of the era, all brand new! Anyway, hope you enjoy. 🙂 Edited February 15 by TylerEspo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfriendly Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 This is really great Tyler. I went ahead and clicked over to YT and subscribed to your channel. I thought Crypts of Chaos was a pretty terrible game back in the day but man would I kill for that shiny mint condition never opened copy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The only reason your family managed to survive is they didn't unwrap an E.T. cart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
