Watched the new one, wasn't very interesting.

Hey, at least a comment.  I'll start with 1982 soon.

[TrekMD]

It's 1982! The gang and new guests look at Atari 5200, Commodore 64, Q*Bert, Pole Position, Joust, Burgertime, and Pixel Dan's other arcade games: Nibbler, Pengo, Satan's Hollow & Star Trek.

The second episode of 1982 should be of interest as they discuss Pac-Man and ET for the 2600, along with the legend of the buried ET carts... And there is Tron!

I'll be sure to check them out. 1983 was at once one of the darkest years for gaming (beginning of the crash) and one of the brightest (birth of the Famicom).

[TrekMD]

Yep, that's all mentioned in the first part of the video.

I need to get caught up on these, watched the first couple a long time ago and thought they were good.

[TrekMD]

I'll keep posting them.  They are in the 90's now.    Here is 1984...

This reminded me of "Evolution of Video Game Graphics 1952 - 2015" (!)

That's a cool video.  Things have changed just a little bit over the years.
