I'm going to make a wall of games. They will all be Atari 2600 copies of Combat.
I can understand how some of these videos hold appeal to the younger crowd, who weren't really there to experience the stuff when it was relevant. Now the newer stuff, I'll watch some videos on, mostly to see what a game is and if it would be worth playing, and in that sense some of the videos being put out are pretty useful. Sure there is a lot of crap out there, but that kind of mimics the gaming industry, so in that sense it works I guess.
When I was in college, if this kind of stuff had been around I would imagine that I would have eaten it up. I was big into collecting Atari back then, still have boxes and boxes of the shit in storage, but honestly I understand that I'm not the target audience for the majority of the media coming out of the gaming community. I think that as far as videos of vintage games go, it is more interesting to see people just having a good time and enjoying a game than it is to get a video just talking about why a game is good.
