Launched in 1977, The Atari VCS turned four years old in 1981. The number units sold in '81 more than doubled from the previous year meaning greater than five million homes now had an Atari hooked up to the TV and were potential customers for new games. Slowing from previous years' schedules, Atari only rolled out only nine new games this year - with two of those being Sears exclusives. How did the runaway success of the previous year's Space Invaders influence this new roster AND, how would Atari shift to adapt to new competition? In this video, I'll be ranking every VCS game Atari released in 1981. #atari #retrogaming #tierlist #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Atari 1981 00:54 Taking a Breath 02:07 Asteroids 03:26 Missile Command 04:35 Othello 05:47 Pelé's Soccer 07:12 Steeplechase 08:37 Stellar Track 10:20 Super Breakout 11:23 Video Pinball 12:30 Warlords 13:42 Summary

In 1981, Coleco secured the exclusive rights to bring Nintendo's arcade hit, Donkey Kong, to home consoles - and the first stop was for their own fledgling system, the ColecoVision. Widely regarded as the worst version of the classic, this DK looked like junk, sounded like a mess, played like trash, and other assorted lies I told my yonger self to help ease my jealousy because it was so damn good! #donkeykong #retrogames #colecovision #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com
