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

The year is 2089. You are racing to save the world, keeping the ARC reactor alive while dodging falling buildings and blowing up enemy vehicles in your way. There is an array of weapons and paths to choose from as you upgrade your deadly vehicle and take down formidable bosses. Do you have what it takes to survive your Fatal Run? In this video, Jon steps through the new gameplay trailer just release by Atari to see how this upcoming combat racer is coming along. Atari’s Fatal Run 2089 delivers over-the-top driving action across a post-apocalyptic landscape. You’ll be drifting into hairpin turns while traveling at insane speeds across 20 levels, each with branching paths, shortcuts, and explosive set pieces. Not challenging enough? You’ll be fighting off the road rage of vehicular enemies intent on stopping you. You can take them out with an arsenal of weapons, or just smash them off the road with brute force. And all of that while the timer is ticking: The ARC, the key to saving humanity, is always losing integrity over time, but good driving and aggressive play will regain it, just like a classic arcade timer. #atari #fatalrun #genxgrownup @atari - LINKS Gameplay Trailer » https://youtu.be/kUPP3_YctJo Reveal Trailer » https://youtu.be/kXausJuseIM - 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

Pac-Man is a 1982 maze video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 2600 (originally known as the Atari Video Computer System) as a port of Namco's 1980 arcade game of the same name. The player controls the title character, who attempts to eat all of the wafers in a maze while avoiding four ghosts that pursue him. Eating flashing wafers at the corners of the screen causes the ghosts to temporarily turn blue and flee, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for bonus points. Once eaten, a ghost is reduced to a pair of eyes, which return to the center of the maze to be restored. Pac-Man was programmed by Tod Frye and took six months to complete. Expecting high sales, Atari produced more than a million copies of the highly anticipated game and held a "National Pac-Man Day" on April 3, 1982 to promote its release. Pac-Man remains the best-selling Atari 2600 game of all time, selling over 8 million copies, and was the all-time best-selling video game for several years. Despite its commercial success, the game was panned by critics for its poor graphics and sound, as well as for bearing little resemblance to the original arcade game. Since its release, it has been considered one of the worst video games ever made and one of the worst arcade ports released on the system. #atari #retrogaming #pacman #genxgrownup @atari - 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
