History of Video Games (1972-2007)
April 22, 2008 - 11:25 pm - Posted by Sean R.
The Recycled Gaming website is about the classics… basically video games and console systems that came out around the early 1980’s to the late 1990’s for the most part.
However, my gaming roots go back much further. As of this post, I’m 36 years old and started gaming at a very early age. My first system was the Atari 2600.
Anyway, this evening I was poking around YouTube and came across this 2 minute and 26 second video that covers video games from early 1972 to late 2007.
As you can see from watching this video, there is a ton of classic video game history covered. Systems like the Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis and plenty more.
Even PC gaming is covered. Most would freak out about that but games like Wolfenstein 3D, King’s Quest, Quake and Battle Chess are the roots behind games like GoldenEye 007, Super Smash Brothers and the entire Mario franchise.
I hope you enjoyed this video as much as I did. I love the classics and if you’re reading this, I’m sure you do too. Thanks for stopping by and please come back soon.
