3. But it was revived by Nintendo.

>>9137685
>>the video game industry collapsed in 198-

Bu.but... the Commodore 64 was classified as a personal computer. The home console market was dead by 1984, and ever Atari switched gears to making home computers.

>>9137763
That's a completely different narrative from le people didn't want to play games anymore and then Nintendo saved us all with fairies and rainbows. Modern consoles are pretty much computers and more and more people are switching to PC, but that doesn't mean the market is in any danger.

>>9137685

I seriously hope you guys didn't do this.

I use C64 basic to help me do my math homework since it’s the only programming language I know.

>>9137685
Computer games aren't videogames they're better so yes.

I mean depending on how you define the word, "video game" is separate from "computer game".

>>9137763
>Atari's computers came out in late 1979
...

I hate this revisionist history bullshit.

The crash of 1983 was exclusively for home consoles and their games in the US. That market crashed entirely, nobody trusted home consoles or their games anymore and they were only comfortable spending quarters at arcades until Mario and all the cool accessories of the NES made Americans realize home consoles were still able to give a great experience.

Most people who owned computers in America back then didn’t use them for gaming.

There was a crash, even if it didn't affect literally every gaming platform. The 2600 had 184 games released for it in 1983; in 1985 it had 1.

They didn't
But their dads did

>>9138929
Tons of games were coming out, just not for consoles. People stopped giving a shit about Atari and switched to the C64, big deal

>>9138040
I accept your concession.

>>9137685
Maybe in the US. There were many studios that were growing rapidly in Europe.

>>9137763
>The home console market was dead by 1984
So no game was released? No game or console sold that year?

I didn't know they had video games in 198

>human beings paid money for this
