/vr/ - Retro Games

This thread again? The 1983 crash is really just the crash of Atari but it went down so spectacularly that it took Colecovision and Intellivision down with it as well as doing significant damage to the arcade scene, leaving a vacuum for the Japanese companies to fill. It didn't really effect the computer gaming scene, even Atari managed to stay relevant there for many more years but...

The computer gaming scene in the 80s was dwarfed by the console and arcade scenes. Dwarfed.

The idea that computer gaming represented anything more than a miniscule fraction of gaming is an appealing fallacy based on our modern perspective of gaming.

Apparently in the 80s, Europeans were playing a lot of computer games despite the fact that they were nearly all terrible. Probably because they were easy to pirate.

This one really is obscure, only a couple scans of the cover none I can find of the back and the cover art is flagrantly stolen. Somebody should download it and play it it's only like 5.7mb. I'm sure it's terrible but it's definitely obscure.
