That was pretty good. I even learned something new about Atari today. The music production on the ST. Good work Greg! 👍

[RetroRalph]

Great work Greg and totally worth the wait! I learned quite a bit that I didn’t know about Atari. Keep it up man!

[SplorinRyan]

Wow - This really took everything up a notch. Proud of you brother, this was fantastic!

Really interesting video! Im not a game history guy so this was mostly new to me. I got my only game system in 1975 or 76, a home pong game. not atari it was a knock off copy but still fun. I do remember many of these computers and systems, battlezone was one of my favorites at the arcade.

Excellent presentation Greg! The Missile Command ending reminded me of the closing credits in Fast Times at Ridgemont High! Not to sound greedy, but I definitely want more!

[EugenioAngueira]

Great video! Very informative and I did learn new stuff about Atari.

I can see why you were hard at work making this! Great job! I had an Atari 2600 growing up! LOL

Seriously...a documentary quality video. Very informative and also very well “produced!” Thanks Greg...that took some time and I appreciate you putting that together for us.

Good video. One clarification. The home "Touch Me" was based on the "Simon." But the arcade "Touch Me" was the inspiration for "Simon."

8 out of 10 were news to me. Very interesting. Just wanted to say that you seem like such a nice person, so well spoken and polite. So rare these days. Thanks.

Now I know where the Stellar emulator name came from. Subscribed.

You didn't mention the prototypes and other cancelled stuff, like the Atari 2700, 3600 or laserdisc player for the 7800 :)

[garogercade]

Very informative and entertaining video.

[pizzamon]

Try me( in reference to your title)
.... Now that I've watched the video, you're right, I didn't know most of those things.

[jamesmichael]

Great video, Greg. I don’t think you could get away with calling anything “Touch Me” nowadays.

When you can see the retrace lines on the raster, your CRT is set Too Damn Bright! Turn that shit down or it'll meet a premature end.
