If you were transported back to the era of the second gen consoles 1976-1982 what would you do to change video game history?

Take a dump in Ronald Reagan’s mailbox

Not a damn thing, but I would invest all the money I could into Intel and wait until 1999 to sell that shit.

Invest around $30k in Apple Computer, Inc in 1977 and be a triple digit millionaire by now.

Nothing. I'd scrape as much money as I could together and invest in Microsoft. Then around 98 I'd start dumping into Apple. The industry can be the same, I'll go be a billionaire.

I'd just move somewhere where there's palm trees and start doing lots of coke

Make the 5200 backward compatable with either the 2600 or 8 bit computers.

Better yet, make the 5200 into something like the XEGS and release a lot of new titles and more accurate arcade ports for it.

And throw money at Activison and Imagic to make new original games for it.

why do people even count the first gen, it was so brief and easily lumped in with the second gen to be honest

You get all the Japanese computer systems and all the Japanese games. But you don't care about the US Famicom in quite the same way. You do get the disk system though.

Get a position at Atari, shill the hell out of the potential Nintendo relationship when it comes around.

I wouldn't change anything.
Well, I'd like to invest money in some nice guns before they get import banned and stuff.

Aside from the obvious thing of investing in computer/internet companies that will rule the world by the 2010s, I'd...

>Help Psygnosis with my enormous wealth; they made games with great aesthetics even if the gameplay wasn't always the best
>Get Sega to put some real copy protection the Dreamcast and save them as a hardware company
>After 2007 or so, I'd sabotage anyone promoting DLC, pay-to-win faggotry, and lootboxes. Expansions are the superior way to expand games
>Prevent Kotaku from ever existing and reduce poz in vidya; I just wanted to play video games
>Make my own games, but keep them as small operations with under 10 employees, just to create the kinds of little dungeon crawlers I like
>Create my own console and lose millions after it fails horribly

[Anonymous No.5907802]

>>5907798
One more:

>Get Nintendo to make a high-quality animated Mario Bros. movie for American audiences in the early 90s. I'm a filthy gaijin but I'm a billionaire from my 1970s investments and I own a decent percentage of NOA's stock.

Learn to code
Get job at Atari
Super Mario and Zelda clones make 7800 a success in 1983 and crash averted
Pass off other 16-bit ips like Sanic and Street Fighter for Panther in 1989 as my own creations
Blade Runner future becomes real.

Fpbp but this would probably result in a lot of our favorite games not existing. I guess there may be alternate games but I think I would be too much of a chicken shit to take the chance.
