I remember ... ( 4 months ago by ashoreformore)

I remember wondering how far games would be in twenty years back then, truly amazing how far we've come in such a short time. This is a great Vid! I still play the oldies games like frogger, donkey Kong, Pacman which the programs total size was about 32-33 Bytes each LOL!!!!along with the latest such as COD4 and Crysis which sit around 6-9 GIGS,but Ya know...those old games are STILL fun ;) They may be major geeks but we Gamers should respect where they have brought us sincethen cant wait to see

I love when Crawford says the game has "66K of object code. Very, very large game"!!!
It's great to see how far we've come, and who knows what kinds of computers and programs we'll be using 23 years from now. It boggles the mind!

Every one seen has a wikipedia entry, except Steve Kitchen. Gary Kildall died a little mysteriously in 1994. Chefeit's entry is awfully thin.
Man, this show was geek porn back in the day. There was no Attack of the Show, or TechTV/Screensavers yet, and no public internet obviously, but the BBS system was just getting started. This was pretty much it for mass media besides magazines for a long time.

And its funny how they take those 8-bit games into so much depth. And these days that make these like 300 bit games with the no depth.
