Shop G'AIM'E Time Crisis Bundle: http://genxgrownup.com/gaime The Video Pinball brand is a series of first-generation single-player dedicated home video game consoles manufactured, released and marketed by Atari, Inc. starting in 1977. Bumper controllers on the sides or a dial on the front are used to control the games depending on the game selected. There are three game types in the first model of the Video Pinball series: Pinball, Basketball, and Breakout. The first model is based on the single chip 011500-11/C011512-05 ("Pong-on-a-chip") produced by Atari. Video Pinball allows 7 games—4 pinball variations, a basketball game, and two versions of Breakout (Breakout and a variant called Break Away)—for one to two players. The unit provides digital on-screen scoring, automatic serves, and color graphics. Video Pinball uses a microcontroller and a small amount of RAM rather than the "Pong on a chip" IC's that had been used in the slew of pong machines Atari Inc. had been releasing. Pinball was played primarily with the side bumper buttons, and Breakout and Basketball with the dial and top buttons. #atari #retrogaming #breakout #genxgrownup - LINKS Manual » https://archive.org/details/AtariVideoPinball/mode/2up - 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 Numskull Facebook Group » https://genxgrownup.com/fbqa G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Atari Video Pinball 01:25 Box & Contents 04:47 Hardware Tour 07:33 Power On 08:55 Flipper Pinball 1 10:29 Paddle Pinball 1 11:27 Flipper Pinball 2 12:41 Paddle Pinball 2 13:15 Rebound 1 14:36 Rebound 2 14:49 Calamity & Dismantling 18:07 Breakout 20:48 Summary

Atari launched their Video Computer System - later rebranded as the 2600 - in September 1977 with just nine available cartridges. As demand grew, they knew they'd need to keep adding new offerings to the library, so in year two of the console's life, Atari added eleven new titles to the catalog. In this video, I'll be ranking every VCS game Atari released in 1978. #atari #ranked #1978 #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 VCS Launch 01:02 1978 Release Rules 01:35 Basketball 02:24 Brain Games 03:21 Breakout 04:21 Codebreaker 05:12 Flag Capture 05:58 Hangman 07:18 Home Run 08:08 Hunt & Score 08:59 Outlaw 09:56 Slot Racers 10:55 Space War 11:57 Summary

Two years into the life of the Atari Video Computer System - later rebranded as the 2600 - Atari had released just twenty games for the system. It was becoming evident that this little upstart gadget that connected to your TV was going to have some staying power, so during the course of 1979, Atari produced a further eleven titles onto store shelves - but how would they stack up to the existing library? In this video, I rank every VCS game Atari released in 1979. #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 VCS So Far 00:51 The 1979 Stage 01:48 Backgammon 02:46 Bowling 03:51 Canyon Bomber 04:52 Casino 05:58 Football 07:19 Human Cannonball 08:56 Miniature Golf 09:57 Sky Diver 11:17 Slot Machine 12:19 Superman 14:17 Video Chess 15:31 Summary

As the Atari Video Computer System turned three years old in 1980, the installed userbase of just over a million consoles had doubled to over 2 million. More consoles meant more gamers, and more gamers meant a growing demand for more games. Keeping up their established pace, Atari released just shy of a dozen new titles during 1980, and while some of their key talent had departed by the end of '79 to form Activision, 1980 would prove to be a breakout year with the release of what would become the console's first killer-app. In this video, I'll be ranking every VCS game Atari released in 1980. #atari #retrogaming #tierlist #genxgrownup - LINKS BASIC Programming footage courtesy @MissionEdPossible - 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to 1980 01:00 VCS Growth 02:01 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe 03:07 Adventure 04:50 BASIC Programming 06:42 Circus Atari 07:56 Dodge 'Em 08:28 Golf 10:20 Maze Craze 11:39 Night Driver 12:53 Space Invaders 14:10 Video Checkers 14:59 Summary

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
