When Falcon say "Video game started yesterday", I was like "yeah duh, of course it did". Then he said "Just kidding"......... I trusted you! Why!? Should I even continue this video? What is life?
Thank God I don't have photosensitive epilepsy, that would suck. Who here else has epilepsy? What kind you got? And what meds are you on? Just curious as I'm recently dealing with epilepsy and I've only had 2 grand mal seizures so far
Despite gaming being over 40 years old, there's still going to be that stigma where video games are nothing more than child's play, even though the average age of a gamer is around 30. This why over protective mother lose their shit when a game like GTA comes out when it is CLEARLY a game made for an adult audience.
my grandma tell me to grow up im 15 im an adult and i shouldn't be playing video games anymore...im not even an adult and i keep telling her that most video games are 18+ but she still tells me that she dosent know a single grown up who plays games and whoever plays video games and is over 20 has some problems like i was so pissed
I don't know any of these games and I am 47 years old, but that is why I love this channel. they try to give something for everyone. They put me onto Dragon's Dogma PC release for example. Didn't know these games so skipped through the vid. doesn't matter...gunna check out another gameranx vid more relevant to me. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for making this video, it's cool to hear about video game history, also I feel like I need to say I haven't finished the video yet or people will get pissed.
You see comrade, when slav game go to space, it is now best game in entire world and helps spread the word of cheeki breeki. When you come home to earth, mama make blini, serve kompot, and then you go play CS:GO with a jar of mayonnaise for snack latter. This is the life of a slav gamer.
hi every1 im new… holds up fedora. my name is bob but feel free 2 call me t3h fedora of D0oM!!!!!!! as u can see im very sophisticated and intelligent,…. that y i came to this atheist subreddit so i can meet other smart atheists -.- im 46 years old (i still act like im 10 lol) i like 2 watch jeopardy w/ my grandma (yes ive seen her naked….) we enjoy yelling "suk it trebek" at the screen.. my grandma is smart 2 but she is a jew. so i came here 2 meet new people like me (smart atheists) like they say op is a faggot lol!!!! lol ok guyz anyways plz give me lots of upboats. I LIKE CEREAL!!!!!!!! oops sorry lol i have adhd lol ok toodles!!!!! waffles and luvs, bob
Devin McGuire Take your time and consider, how fucking stupid that statement was. You know what? Youre better off playing CoD, so go back in your cave!
I like that sketch in the ending (7:01-7:03), obviously from an ad set to market a VR set, that'd probably look nothing like the real thing, and yet they hold standard controllers, a thing most VR owners say breaks immersion completely. So much imagination on the imaginary product, but none at all in anything else.
It is really pleasing to see how gaming has changed. i remember my days of playing price of Persia (1989) Hocus pocus (1994) biomenace (1993) in dos in the year 1994 & now playing games like Gta , call of duty or a matter of fact any latest game which comes now. i am 29 now i wish to see games i will play when i will be 60. can;t dream that.
+Kyubey yeah, but this video was not about affordablility. hell the snes was $200 and people went crazy, when right now if the brand new Xbox or PlayStation was only $200 we'd all flip out because that's really cheap. what he was saying is that the htc vive is by far more revolutionary and historical than the psvr or the oculus rift
Ofc its ewww gross for me cause I am not gay...why should I like when a man is kissing another man?! I don't care what anyone is doing in their own bedroom
"Of course it's ewwww gross for me cause I am not gay" With this statement, it would appear that you are assuming that anyone who isn't gay finds 2 gay people kissing to be 'gross' , which, if true, means I will be giving you a huge kick up the ass and bidding you goodbye from the internet good sir. If you find 2 people of the same sex kissing to be gross, there is a subtle and innate level of homophobia going on within you.
I find the sharing of bodily fluids on any and every level to be gross. I don't demand that everyone stop doing it. I just don't participate in it myself and move the fuck on. It really isn't that hard.
U are straight thats why u don't see it appealing but thats no reason to hate others for it or deny their human rights. And u not liking it does not mean u can say eww, i don't say eww when i see straight people kissing.
Zork was the first piece of software that allowed for procedural programming. It also had a hand in changing how all programming was done. It was the first game and software to allow mods and black bix programming.
I think my first console was the original PlayStation, and the earliest video games I can remember playing was Spyro: Year of the Dragon and Mega Man 8. Back when people played games to have fun…
+redfox pw Not really. These days people play games to either brag about ridiculous priced PC parts, console exclusivity, or complain that everything should be 1080p and 60 fps. Life was so much cooler before the internet spoiled everything by saturating you with information before a game is even released. Sigh...the good old days
whatHAPPENEDtoMYname No. It makes fun take a backseat to graphics and DLC. These days with all the information available, people can hate a game before they even play it. Look at the new COD. I stopped liking it a long time ago because of its unrealistic story and repetitive play, but it has already garnered so much hate from people that haven't even pressed start yet. Remember how The Order was touted as the greatest thing ever for more than a year? Then it came out and you could finish it on your lunch break. What about the hype over the newest Halo? People were in a fever pitch and when it got released, it was met with lukewarm reviews. Fun has been replaced by graphics and razor sharp sales tactics. I truly feel sorry for games like No Mans Sky. No matter how good it is, it will never live up to how good it should be Damn Shame
Oh man, ape escape was one of the games that sticks out in my childhood memory. I was really young and my mom got it for me despite never never asking for it nor even knowing it's existence. I even remember a lot of the levels and the gadgets (the paddle helicopter glider thing was my personal favourite.) I actually haven't beaten it to this day, I stopped on the carnival level (having been exhausted by the long fight up the corporate tower). I really want to try and find my original disc and give it another try.
I don't know what it is about him but I love Falcon as a narrator. And when the picture of the bird comes up, it just make me imagine the actual bird, sitting calmly in a recording booth, talking about games in that baritone, and I don't even want to know what Falcon actually looks like because I love that image and knowing would ruin that.
Matrilineal heritage of gaming, right here! My mother owned the Magnavox Odyssey _and_ the Atari 2600 my brother and I put countless ours of our youth into. >.> Firsthand experience: the crappy, ancient design of the Odyssey was pretty spectacular when I was 4 years old... a good 13 years after the console hit the market. You'd be hard-pressed to have a console with that much relevence so long after initial release, these days.
Omg Ape Escape brings back some memories! I was actually thinking of it recently when playing Pokemon Go and whenever I caught a Pokemon I could hear the character of Ape escape shouting "GOTCHA!" in my head XD
Oh god. Adventure. I remember playing and beating that with my brothers in the days long before we could look up guides on the internet. It was insane. I both love and hate that little square to this day. :)
This video Was awesome and reminds me of the Gun from duck hunt! A video about how external peripherals work would be awesome like the guns in arcades or the gun form duck hunt or the power glove on Nintendo or the guns and driver peripherals form PlayStation 1. I love GameRanx!
+Henry Clarke no I did not. if I were to say "I'm early better make a joke" I would not say "better make an joke" would I? my plan was to swap "joke" and "early" understand?
hey falcon thanks for the video and hard work. I thought of something cool for you guys to do hopefully it hadn't happened on this channel before but could you guys do a history of VR system or maybe a Montage to the old 80s style putting on 80lbs on your face for the experence
The first game I played was C&C generals. And when I played C&C red alert 2 I placed SAM's to protect me from everything. I was used to that whose rocket turrets could fire at land and air units and I wasn't able to understand English at the time.
I remember when I first played Star Wars Battlefront 1 I was blown away by the graphics, of course today they are laughable but in my childhood I never saw anything like it, I love the original 2 battle fronts to death and still play them today. It just shows how far video games have come today graphical wise.
when I was a kid, me and my sister would play Hydro Thunder on the N64. My sister played that game so much, that I would wake up in the middle of the night seeing her in front of my TV playing the game. I'm now 17 and she's 22 and she never plays video games anymore, which is sad cause I actually do miss playing games with her.
What about the first filled 3D polygon game, which is commonly thought to be iRobot, released in 1983 for the arcades? That game was balls hard, no surprises but it was lots of fun.
Those overlays remind me of the game overlays you could get for Etch A Sketch. And the easter egg was to combat Atari's rule that creators couldn't have credit on screen.
Can I just say I miss ape escape. I randomly found it at a grocery store and I have played them all now. They are so much fun that I don't know why they let the series die. The cartoony stile and comical antics were what gave it that charm. I mean it was so great it even made an appearance in metal gear solid snake eater. As well as snake eater showing up in one of the ape escape games. Bring back the good games that we loved, but don't let it be another duke nukem or make it realistic since the colorful game was what gave it its charm.
I was not born yet for quite a few years because I'm a late child, but there is a famous story of my brothers playing Pong on their old Atari system. They left the game paused for several hours, and literally burned the dot and the two lines onto the screen of the new colored TV that my family had. We still had that TV when I was small, and I remember the funny colored areas on the screen that were an everlasting reminder of Pong.
1st system I had was Atari(2600 I think). Then a Sega Master System. Then the NES came out and I convinced my mom that it was worth getting and better than the Master System. The Atari and Sega were my mom's idea I suppose. Bought my own Gameboy with my saved allowance. I got a Sega Genesis for my birthday. Eventually got a SNES way later. Had a 486 Computer which I played lots of Doom and Doom 2 on, amongst other games. Then the N64. Had a Dreamcast for a short while. GameCube. GBA. 3DS. Had a XBOX 360 for a few years before the CD drive stopped working. And now I have a PS4, which is the 1st Playstation I've ever owned. My own personal Video Game System History. I've also played the Turbo Grafx 16, Sega Saturn, Sega CD, Wii, and Wii-U. I think that's everything. If I remember anything I'll edit later.
+gameranx Love watching your vids and this video is no exception another thumbs up from me. oh and by the way my wife got a shout out from her favorite you tuber so I figure I could try and get one from mine. You Jake, Falcon, and Spidey you guys rock!!!
OMG! Ape Escape! I loved that game so much. I remember my first time playing it, on a Pizza Hut DEMO DISC. Of all things. After playing it on that I just had to get the real deal. I want a new one of those to come out. Or hell, I'd pay for it again on my PS4. I mean, they have the icons for player avatars available.
Nice.....I'm surprised you mentioned the 1947 game not many people know about that one the cathode ray tube amusement device (yes that was the first video games name)
Is getting a GTX 960 2 or 4gb worth than my current R7 360 2gb. I'm still new at this so I would like help. Also on a tight small budget so it has to be less than 250$.
In a little bit, the 970 will drop $30, used you can find it about $210 now. The deop is due to a refund by NVidia. $180 for an awesome Graphics Card, is not too bad.
Well, if you upgrade to an R9 series GPU, it may function better with other AMD parts in your system. However, if you do Let's Play videos, you may want the better Nvidia card to use ShadowPlay. AMD has nothing that competes with it.. other than better gaming benchmarks with their newer GPU's. Give and take, my friend.
When Falcon say "Video game started yesterday", I was like "yeah duh, of course it did".
Then he said "Just kidding"......... I trusted you! Why!? Should I even continue this video? What is life?

+Lethal Reaper Lethal Clan What kind of seizures does she have. Grand mal or absences??
After all this a lot of people still underestimate video games and thinking that only children's play with it.......
Despite gaming being over 40 years old, there's still going to be that stigma where video games are nothing more than child's play, even though the average age of a gamer is around 30. This why over protective mother lose their shit when a game like GTA comes out when it is CLEARLY a game made for an adult audience.
Gladly that generation is slowly dying out as with all the racist, homophobic old grannies.
Games are the shit.
Which is hilarious since the market is not for kids on most fronts cough FPS cough
Did you type it in chat though?
my grandma tell me to grow up im 15 im an adult and i shouldn't be playing video games anymore...im not even an adult and i keep telling her that most video games are 18+ but she still tells me that she dosent know a single grown up who plays games and whoever plays video games and is over 20 has some problems like i was so pissed

What about the first filled 3D polygon game, which is commonly thought to be iRobot, released in 1983 for the arcades? That game was balls hard, no surprises but it was lots of fun.
please make more of these gaming facts.... there legit
I remember playing my dad's old Xbox games when I was like six. He had splinter cell, voodoo Vince, and a few others.
The arcade game Battelzone from Atari was the first 3D game. It came out in 1980 and Subroc 3D came out in 1982 meaning Battelzone came first.
+*TheDemonicPotato* Pretty sure that game ran on a 2D engine imitating a 3D engine like Doom and Wolfenstein did.
That makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
Those overlays remind me of the game overlays you could get for Etch A Sketch. And the easter egg was to combat Atari's rule that creators couldn't have credit on screen.
Fallout was and has always been the greatest game series ever (alongside Borderlands, Left 4 Dead and TES of course)
The last time I came this early Gameranx actually made creative content.
Nah im just kidding keep up the good work guys :)

Can I just say I miss ape escape. I randomly found it at a grocery store and I have played them all now. They are so much fun that I don't know why they let the series die. The cartoony stile and comical antics were what gave it that charm. I mean it was so great it even made an appearance in metal gear solid snake eater. As well as snake eater showing up in one of the ape escape games. Bring back the good games that we loved, but don't let it be another duke nukem or make it realistic since the colorful game was what gave it its charm.
I was not born yet for quite a few years because I'm a late child, but there is a famous story of my brothers playing Pong on their old Atari system. They left the game paused for several hours, and literally burned the dot and the two lines onto the screen of the new colored TV that my family had. We still had that TV when I was small, and I remember the funny colored areas on the screen that were an everlasting reminder of Pong.
hi plz respond dude big fan
this was actually really interesting??? thank you for these awesome facts i feel more like a Gamer™ now
1st system I had was Atari(2600 I think). Then a Sega Master System. Then the NES came out and I convinced my mom that it was worth getting and better than the Master System. The Atari and Sega were my mom's idea I suppose. Bought my own Gameboy with my saved allowance. I got a Sega Genesis for my birthday. Eventually got a SNES way later. Had a 486 Computer which I played lots of Doom and Doom 2 on, amongst other games. Then the N64. Had a Dreamcast for a short while. GameCube. GBA. 3DS. Had a XBOX 360 for a few years before the CD drive stopped working. And now I have a PS4, which is the 1st Playstation I've ever owned. My own personal Video Game System History. I've also played the Turbo Grafx 16, Sega Saturn, Sega CD, Wii, and Wii-U. I think that's everything. If I remember anything I'll edit later.
My first Console was a PS. I had game like Ford racing, j, Tarzan, skate, Legend of dragoon....aaaahhh the memorys

Love watching your vids and this video is no exception another thumbs up from me. oh and by the way my wife got a shout out from her favorite you tuber so I figure I could try and get one from mine. You Jake, Falcon, and Spidey you guys rock!!!
OMG! Ape Escape! I loved that game so much. I remember my first time playing it, on a Pizza Hut DEMO DISC. Of all things. After playing it on that I just had to get the real deal. I want a new one of those to come out. Or hell, I'd pay for it again on my PS4. I mean, they have the icons for player avatars available.
Nice.....I'm surprised you mentioned the 1947 game not many people know about that one
the cathode ray tube amusement device (yes that was the first video games name)
The graphical leap from ps1 to ps2 to PS3! Blew my mind lol
well how about from game boy to vr
ape escape was amazing!!! :) loved it
2:21 "The Game Boy is actually the first video game to be played in space" Never heard of a game like that, heard of a console though xD
oh man I remember the day when I picked up Ape Escape, that game was so much fun
I remember the Ape Escape thing, I didnt have a dual shock yet and I was like ''wtf I can't play this game what is wrong'' Those days...
+Jacob Dagger Well they could've kept making PS1 games but you know... Revenue
Am I the only one who goes "Yes!" on the inside when a gameranx video starts and it's Falcon doing the episode ?
"The GameBoy is actually the first video game to be played in space."
Ah, the GameBoy is my favourite game too!
I remember getting a duelshock for ape escape. Those were historical times.
I'll ask my history teacher if we can have a history test on this
Is getting a GTX 960 2 or 4gb worth than my current R7 360 2gb. I'm still new at this so I would like help. Also on a tight small budget so it has to be less than 250$.
970 is going down, so is 980
In a little bit, the 970 will drop $30, used you can find it about $210 now. The deop is due to a refund by NVidia. $180 for an awesome Graphics Card, is not too bad.
KitCatKitchen Yea I plan on getting the GTX 1060 since it's about the same price as the 970 but better, Also plan on getting a better power supply.
Well, if you upgrade to an R9 series GPU, it may function better with other AMD parts in your system. However, if you do Let's Play videos, you may want the better Nvidia card to use ShadowPlay. AMD has nothing that competes with it.. other than better gaming benchmarks with their newer GPU's. Give and take, my friend.
love history and games so this is awesome!
6:18 what game is it?
I love videos that make me go... Oh shit, I didn't know that and this video made me say this 10 times. Great video
