im really wondering about the 4k part. is it rendering at 4k like u can see in pc emulation or is it just a pretty crisp clean standard N64 resolution. the reason i say this is because they state playing with scanlines in 4k, if it was rendering the scanlines in 4k the lines would be so thin u prolly wouldn't even hardly see them if rendering games in native 4k. And i would say a lot of people who are buying this believe there getting 4k rendering in there n64 games

Master System was great because it had games like Wonderboy 3 : The Dragon's Trap. Golvellius (Zelda / Zelda 2 style game). Phantasy Star. Shinobi. Hang - On.

6:39 NES Paperboy: The upside down pedestrian 🚶‍♂️ is break dancing. That was a common sight on sidewalks in the 80's actually.

I never saw the system being sold at our local K-Mart. However I did see it at our local Wal-Mart, and I do remember it getting put on clearance for around $50 down to $40 before disappearing in very early 84 (systems gone by February games by April). I knew no one that actually had one, but I did see them in stranger's carts.

If I recall there was also an early cartridge version of Choplifter for Atari that didn't have such awful colors. It didn't have a moon in the background and used the generic Atari characterset for the people count/etc.. When I was a kid we had both the cartridge and disk version of the game. That was a LONG time ago though!

I am going to use this video as a source of information for my university project, in about a week I will tell you the grade I obtained. :3

It all comes down to library for me. The NES has that in the bag.

I was about to say its both light and oxidization because of the heat light puts out but you did talk about that so glad to hear it. UV light will actually start bleaching the color which is why that is the most effective method used in retrobrighting.

It was my first console! In Italy was known as "Leonardo" distributed by Gig.

Very interesting console. I never heard of it until this video. I wonder how long it took someone to figure out the lie about the ram. Great history video as always. I'm a big fan of them.

Wow... it even undersold the Virtual Boy.

By the way, you missed that there is a game for two players on the Master System)

I love how the Space Attack cover art shows a snowspeeder shooting at the Millennium Falcon.

I had no idea Emerson didn't actually develop this, its a shame that the developers from UAL are basically lost to time, would be interesting to see if they went on to do anything else

This is some great, neglected history in the 2nd-gen gaming youtube world. Thanks for putting it together! Another fun, random factoid was Emerson suing over the Arcadia Supercharger (an Atari peripheral that launched about the same time as the Arcadia 2001), forcing Arcadia to change their name to Starpath.

I remember finding the Cat Trax cartridge at an out of the way small indoor flea market & actually returned to buy it. I think I traded it for a couple Atari 2600 prototypes.

And a year later came the Famicom.....

Plus, the name of the game then was official arcade licenses, not knockoff clones. Or well done original titles from the A list publishers, Activision, Imagic

It was laughable back in the day. With the impending CV and Atari Supersystem releases, every teen like me wondered why anyone would release a clearly inferior system, that had a physical design from the 70s and Intv knockoff controllers with lite sticks screwed in, like the aftermarket sticks available at the time for the intv. And graphics on par with the 1977 vcs, which was getting better graphics every month by then from imagic, activision, parker bros, and the latest bank switch Atari carts, unlocking Miners revolutionary video chip for its time. Got my cv August of 82, from an early order placed may or june of 82. The graphics and capabilities of the cv were well known through the first half of 82, reported in all the video game magazines on the racks of every mom and pop pharmacy then. Unless a system was going to meet or beat the cv, or offer something unique techwise like the Vectrex, it was game over for anything else

👍

why the moving backgrounds? my adhd brain cant watch your video

Some of the sp4ecs may have been higher than the Atari 2600, but the definitely look inferior. I'll grant you that some of the graphics may look a little higher resolution than on the 2600, and yes, Crazy Gobbler does look better than Atari's Pac-man, but in general, Atari games just play better and smoother. I also feel that way about a lot of the Intellivision games. Don't get me wrong, i love the Intellivision, but quite a few games on it feel kind of clunky.

Why did the developers of Paperboy use the music from Moon Patrol? Also how did they get away with it?

Would you be interested in selling Crazy Gobbler?

Great video !! Fascinating !! Crazy Gobler looked great !! Space Attack also looked good !!

1977 June 4, Atari 2600 CES debut - lived well until 1983 when crashed happened, but was still produced until 1992. 1977 September market release $199,00 1979 (Intellivision) 1982 (Colecovision) - 1982 November Atari 5200 1984 Atari 7800 1986 Atari 2600 Jr. produced until 1992. (total reign 15 years)

Thanks for the awesome video! I have a quick question about your setup. It looks like you’re connecting an original Atari with its black RCA cable to a flat-screen TV. Could you explain what kind of adapter you're using? Specifically, do you have a way to split the single RCA signal from the Atari into red, white, and yellow connectors to work with an RCA-to-HDMI adapter? I'd appreciate any tips!

I'd take crazy gobbler over PAC man for the Atari 2600 any day of the week

I have the clone from New Zealand. Tunix.

Have to love the stolen designs for Star Wars, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica ships on the cover art for many of the games...

I actually have one of these, but I've never once hooked it to a TV. It might not even work for all I know. I stuck in a box and forget about it and only discovered it in my basement fairly recently.

1982 was the 1970s. Whether it's the Colecovision, Atari 5200 or the Emerson. Technology didn't improve, it's that 70s technology got cheap enough to be mass market devices. Coleco and Atari were really no better when it came to RAM. Coleco had 17kb of RAM, but only 1k was available. The 5200 had 16k of RAM, but generally you needed most of that for the video.

The problem is, it wasn't better than the 2600. The 2600 is a powerhouse for 1977. It just happened to be uniquely susceptible to small ROMs and the lack of RAM. But cartridge technology kept getting bigger and engineers figured out how to expand the 2600's RAM on the cartridge slot. You can really see this with modern games, not to mention what can be accomplished with a helper chip in games like Mappy. But even games like Aardvark, as good as it looks, has no helper chip or extra RAM. Just a 32k ROM. Note how none of the other 8 bit systems really benefit that much from the larger ROMs. They just make larger (in scope) games. The capability of the system does not improve. The 2600 is a real time system. It has no video RAM or bios. If you want a score, you as the programmer need to create a font and make it part of the kernel. It does not have a fixed resolution or even frame rate. These are both created by the kernel created by the programmer. Games for the 2600 dramatically improved in a way other game systems never did.

need "mockingboard" sound card 🙂

Double Dragon. NES better gameplay. NES better soundtrack SEGA better graphics. SEGA Too hard.

I had the SNES, absolutely loved it. Fave games, super tennis, madden, mario kart. And to add i was the best at all of them 💪🏻

Em geral, o NES possui melhor jogabilidade, enquanto SMS entrega melhores gráficos. Aqui no Brasil, o SMS teve um reinado absoluto!

I was a kid in the 80a I remember these as new The Master system was graphically superior but; the Nintendo had the games. We're talking real game-changing classic. Super Mario Bros ,Zelda, Contra, Ninja Gaiden (the original trilogy) Castlevania, Mike Tyson, the catalog is endless,it's not even close. Similar to the PS2 and the original XBOX.

Sega Master System always wins over NES. 👍

Better SMS than NES

When i was a kid i always thought the SMS as inferior crappy system compared to the NES. The games on SMS where not as good as the NES. did not have anything that matched SMB 1 ,2 3, MEGAMAN etc

california games would have made a good comparison.

The SMS was a great system. It actually got me back into console gaming after a friend got one. But I ended up getting a NES - for me it had the better games even though graphically the SMS was better. Why aren't you doing paper deliveries in Paperboy? Was a shit game anyway.. :)

Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Mega Man ... there can be only one

The nes is better all round it plays more fluid

In NES Paperboy - you said you did not know what one character was doing -- answer -- breakdancing !!! Marble Madness -- Game too short - had four levels !! Rad Racer for NES -- bad music !!! Annoying sounds !!! With Master System -- many games have poor controls !!

Great video !!!! Unfortunately , with most Master System games -- music not good !!! To its advantage -- bright colorful graphics !!

The SMS is superior to the NES in terms of hardware. The NES is notorious for flickering because of the way the graphics work. It's 2 years newer than the NES, though it bogged down in legacy hardware in the SG1000. But Nintendo was far stronger in games. There must have been 1000 games over its lifetime. Strong 3rd party support as well.

Enduro for the 2600 and I'm pretty sure Turbo Arcade game had day/night transitions.

14:45 Don't forget the SMS has a trackball available. That is the only way to play marble madness.
