1
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:16.559
The plane the play Smile everyone,
smile both. I think they want of

2
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:25.519
them the eighty for the Fantady.
Welcome my friends, Welcome two back to

3
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:38.000
the eighties on Fantasy Island. I
love you more, I love it you're

4
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:57.000
listening to back to the eighties?
Watch one point tent? Watch Watch what

5
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:04.519
else did you you are? As
you can hear with the laughing going on

6
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.560
in the background, just kind of
on changing here with you on back to

7
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.359
the eighties. Welcome my friends to
another night. Chang. How the heck

8
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:18.120
are you? Oh? If I
was a calendar, I'd be all filled

9
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.920
up with goodness. And how are
you? My favorite Italian Mexican human being.

10
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.000
Obviously we're supposed to be in lockdown, but at the same time there's

11
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.200
millions of people who think that's okay
to not being lockdown. Well, we're

12
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.840
here, what are we doing reminiscing, having some nostalgic memories? And by

13
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.439
the way, speaking on nostalgic memories, I got some nostalgic coffee here right

14
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.000
next to me. Oh, and
what kind of coffee is that? Ethiopian?

15
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.719
Oh? Ethiopian? Now? Is
it made of Ethiopian children? Did

16
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:56.359
he children pick the beans? Neither
one of those is a pleasant thought as

17
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:02.120
I'm sipping this or is it Ethiopian
call be made in China? China?

18
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.719
Welcome Chang, Welcome everybody to back
to the eighties. This is Taskano and

19
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.800
Chang. As I always like to
say, I am sitting next to the

20
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:19.319
ever so wondrous the man of a
million illusions, wondrous Chang. Thank you

21
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.560
for such kind putdowns, my Italian
friend. You know, every time I

22
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.919
hear your voice, I hear a
toilet flushing in the distance. I don't

23
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.439
quite know why that is. Sometimes
I think, and you're talking too much,

24
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.800
Masa. But again, what are
you going to do? I want

25
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.599
to welcome everybody else because to my
left is one of the strongest Italian men

26
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.439
out of the eighties. I mean, Toskano used to be able to bench

27
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.240
press. I'd say, how many
booty socks? Forty thousand, oh,

28
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.879
at least two, the ones I
always had on. But you don't want

29
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.120
to hear something funny, bro,
I never used to wear booty socks until

30
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.639
I got older. You know,
as you become I'm older, you know,

31
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:06.080
things bother you and the longer socks
would make me itchy. So I

32
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:12.000
said, now booty socks it is. Now, was this missus Tuscano's shopping

33
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.479
ideal or did you specifically tell her, noney, I want you to get

34
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.159
me some booty socks. And that's
it. And it's funny because we've been

35
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.280
fooling around with this same joke for
ages, because when we used to do

36
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.800
the other radio show, you and
I, I actually used to put my

37
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.599
foot on top of the desk and
show everybody yes and small. As a

38
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.199
matter of fact, the jokes started
one day I believe we were well,

39
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.960
of course, it started one night
when we were we were recording, and

40
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.719
I think you had your legs crossed. Yeah, I think I think I

41
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:51.400
was probably under the influence of Chang
Changhaitis and I looked over to my left

42
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.199
and I remember seeing those and then
it was over. I mean, the

43
00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:00.520
jokes just started flowing. That's when
we had, uh see greedy boy as

44
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.439
our as our board. If remember
the Lord of the Board. You used

45
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.080
to love it when when you used
to call him the man boy, the

46
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.759
man boy. If Man Boy is
listening, I'd like to give him a

47
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.680
fond to skotto and shang Howdy party
man boy as well. All right,

48
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.600
well, I want to welcome you
guys to this madness that we call Back

49
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.399
to the Eighties that premiers every Friday
for your enjoyment and throughout the week.

50
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.839
You know what, We've got so
much going on, so much chaos,

51
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.240
so much just nonsense that you know, when you tune into Back to the

52
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.839
Eighties you get a little bit more
nonsense. But this time it's at least

53
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.399
we'll bring you a little smile.
And right now, I think the world

54
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.600
needs a smile of some kind.
Yeah, I mean yeah, I agree

55
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.000
one hundred percent. As a matter
of fact, I want us to go

56
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:53.720
back to go way way back to
eighty one. Oh my gosh, I'm

57
00:04:53.800 --> 00:05:00.240
talking nineteen eighty we're actually nineteen eighth. My goodness, I was. I

58
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.759
was very young, so but I
was wasting money at arcades, which brings

59
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:12.600
us to tonight's topic. Tonight,
we enter the doors of your favorite arcade.

60
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:18.519
That's right. Tonight we talk about
the video games that made us waste

61
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:24.399
money, waste pairs of shoes,
and most of all, get our parents

62
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.040
angry at us. Tonight, we
want to bring you back to nostalgia,

63
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.920
and we want to talk about a
few of the favorite games. Pretty much,

64
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.279
not only voted on did you know
change that there's there's a Hall of

65
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:42.160
Fame and world record four games and
arcades, you know what. I had

66
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.959
heard that rumor. I am unfamiliar
with the location, but I did hear

67
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.120
that, and I remember when I
heard that, I thought that is just

68
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.800
ridiculous. And then on the other
side of my brain, I thought,

69
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.560
hmm, that is one place I
would like to go and get back into

70
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.480
some donkey call. I would like
to play some fenders, maybe some asteroids.

71
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:09.959
Now, remember the video game was
the child of Pong. I'm sure

72
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.240
some of our older listeners, including
listeners our age, remember Pong. Oh

73
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.439
yeah, yeah, you remember?
Well, yeah, that's the seventies game,

74
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.480
I believe seventy two, seventy three. Did you know? I ended

75
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.800
up finding out that the oldest video
game ever. I originally thought it was

76
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.000
Pong, but apparently there was a
guy who was a physicist by the name

77
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:36.600
of William Higginbotham or Higginbotham nineteen fifty
eight. He created what is thought to

78
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.079
be the first video game ever and
it was just a simple tennis game.

79
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.759
Yeah, so similar to Pong.
Wow, what arcade did you fancy back

80
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.600
in nineteen eighty. You give me
your answer, then I'll give you yours.

81
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.399
And let's see if any of our
listeners recall either one of those places.

82
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.000
Well, because I lived, I
lived very near to the city of

83
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.680
Norwalk, and in Norwalk, Oh, they have the very famous golfing stuff.

84
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:10.560
And so my favorite arcade throughout my
entire childhood was golf and stuff,

85
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.360
and so I spent tons and tons
of money and and aggravating my parents and

86
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:23.519
we had birthday parties and the whole
nine yards and it's still around. That's

87
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.079
what's fascinating that those plays, some
of those places anyway, are still around.

88
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.120
And golf and stuff is one of
those that, you know, it's

89
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.720
a nice thing that you live so
close when you watch the Karate aid and

90
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:41.160
you can just walk on over Dan
your son wax On, wax Off.

91
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:46.199
So there is a museum, it's
called the National Museum of Play. It's

92
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.959
called the Strong, Yeah, the
Strong National Museum of Play. And you

93
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.920
can go visit them whenever you want. You have it's Museum of Play dot

94
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.319
org. And they've got tons of
information regarding you know, the Hall of

95
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.759
Fame inductees. And you were mentioning
that you wanted to play don Key Kong.

96
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.399
Did you know that they were barely
inducted into the Hall of Fame in

97
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:13.959
twenty seventeen. Really, yeah,
barely. That's insane because was that not

98
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.959
the birth of the Mario brothers?
Mario, that is correct. You see

99
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.920
how I did that? You see
the way that's set up, that set

100
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.560
up itself. Hey, my god, and you know it's funny, comical,

101
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.800
genius. Today there was a guy
from pest control that came over to

102
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.839
the house and he asked me for
my name, So I gave him anyway,

103
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.120
I said, my name is Mario. And the first thing that comes

104
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.000
out of his mouth is, hey, Mario, where's Luigi? And I'm

105
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.080
looking at him flap tie five with
that guy. Yeah, I'm looking at

106
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.320
him, and I'm going, yeah, I've never heard that one before throughout

107
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.000
my childhood. Now, I bet
you you thought that was a racist comment,

108
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.159
you being a telling you who is
the all I've worked that into?

109
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.360
I see, I see. But
let's go back to nineteen eighty all right,

110
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.399
So nine I was at the Electric
Planet, Electric Planet? Where was

111
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.799
that at? Yes, Now,
the Electric Planet was the home of the

112
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:15.200
Electric Planet, was the beautiful city
of Montabello, California with your boulevard in

113
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.200
the garmar? Was that the one
that was like a like a pirate ship.

114
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.120
No, that one was in La
Puente, And I still have not

115
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.320
got the name of that, so
damned me for not doing that. But

116
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.120
I will have the name of that
particular arcade on our next show, because

117
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.240
I'm going to do it now because
a funny story, that one that's like

118
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.720
a pirate ship. When my friend
and I were about twelve or thirteen years

119
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.559
old, my buddy took his mom's
sky blue Ford Fairmont station wagon. Remember

120
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.440
those? Oh dude, yeah,
I believe my grandmother had a Yeah,

121
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.639
well he was thirteen years old.
I was thirteen years old or something like

122
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.279
that, and we went to this
place and we're thirteen year old kids driving

123
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.799
on the freeway. M So you
were on the five correct or or closest,

124
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.480
you know. I don't even remember
where we were on. I was

125
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.360
just so afraid that we were going
to get into an accident. And here's

126
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.519
my buddy going, oh, man, I've driven on the freeway tons of

127
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.559
times. He was like thirteen.
But yeah, so I want to take

128
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.200
you back to nineteen eighty and the
reason for that is because in nineteen eighty,

129
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.080
the release of a very very famous, if not the most famous of

130
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.159
all video games, or at least
the most successful video game of all time,

131
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:35.639
sold three hundred and fifty thousand arcade
cabinets in nineteen eighty, wrecking up

132
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.240
over two billion dollars in revenue,
which would be an equivalent today of about

133
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.200
three point four billion dollars. Tell
me you want to hear what that game

134
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.000
was? I want to hear that
game because I have an idea. But

135
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.240
I'm thinking it's one of two to
go ahead and play it and let me

136
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.240
see if I'm correct in my own
name, which it was so famous that

137
00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:09.279
they even made a song. I
got a hocket moll of quarters and I'm

138
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:16.159
added to the game. Oh man, how does that? How does that

139
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.639
strike you? You're nostalgia? That
is insane. I haven't heard this.

140
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.240
And the greatest thing about it is
that the chorus says the name of the

141
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.679
game. I mean, it's obvious
by the intro, but the name of

142
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.480
the song. Do you remember what
the name of the song? Here?

143
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:48.440
It is pac Man Beaver right crazy? Yeah? So were you pretty good

144
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.519
at pac Man? Or or did
you suck? Like a lot of other

145
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.519
ago. Well, here's here's the
honest truth. I loved pac Man the

146
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.799
look, I loved the whole idea. Yea, I loved the music.

147
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.759
I love the atmosphere that surrounded the
game. But I could never get past

148
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.320
the second level, second or third
level. And yeah, the same thing

149
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.799
goes with just because it bored me. You know, I said, Okay,

150
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.679
it didn't change maps. It still
looks the same. It maybe changes

151
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.039
a little bit. So I would
really, really, unless I was really

152
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.279
bored and there was no other video
games available at that time, really,

153
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.879
I wouldn't waste my money on pac
Man. Yeah, now that is insane,

154
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.960
because I would play that thing and
I got up to level I think

155
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.039
the highest was six, maybe seven, and I enjoyed it because it became

156
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.799
more rapid the more levels you went. I mean, sometimes those little flying

157
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.360
bastards would just come at you and
gobble you. But the biggest joy I

158
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.480
used to have is eating the cherries
and then being able to dominate every little

159
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.759
blue meanie on that screen. That's
what it was all about. Domination,

160
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.639
eating the blue meanies, eating the
cherries, getting your cherry pie. Yeah.

161
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.799
Yeah, and believe it or not, believe it or not, the

162
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:11.440
the world's champion okay, the world
champion gamer for pac Man. I believe

163
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.440
he crossed over the two hundredth level. And by that point, you know,

164
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.360
the original designer of the game,
they never thought anybody was ever going

165
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.799
to get there. So part of
the screen is garbled up. You see,

166
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.600
like a bunch of gibberish on it, and so you only played like

167
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.960
on half of the screen. So
it's very interesting. You know. It's

168
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.879
funny that whenever I hear somebody talk
about games of today, and of course

169
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.639
we can't compare him, because today's
games look like the real life, so

170
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.919
we're not going to go and compare
them. That's it was just another time

171
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.799
in the world. However, if
you want to drive a kid insane,

172
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.720
a competitive kid insane, put him
in front of an eighties game and let

173
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.600
him see if he can cross over. For example, Donkey Kong. Do

174
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.679
you remember how hard it was just
to pass that first level? Oh?

175
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.720
I hated Donkey Kong. Sometimes sometimes
I just like felt breaking the screen,

176
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.159
you know. Sometimes I would just
get tripped up on those damn barrels and

177
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.200
I just couldn't get past it.
I Donkey Kong used to just irritate me.

178
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.519
You know, I would like to
go. I used to go to

179
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.480
the zoo and throw bananas at the
monkeys just because I was defeated heavily in

180
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.440
Donkey Kong. Another interesting fact,
if we jump over to nineteen eighty one,

181
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:30.559
Donkey Kong was one of the first
platforms and the only second game ever

182
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.399
to feature multiple levels. Yes,
and Donkey Kong was incredibly difficult to play.

183
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.320
I think I got up to level
four or level five, but that's

184
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.200
it. I couldn't go on.
It was like the first game that had

185
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.440
a storyline and had a damsel in
distress. If you remember, yes,

186
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:50.279
yes, you could be the hero, you can get the gorgeous girl.

187
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.080
Yeah yeah. But back in the
eighties, I think everybody that was a

188
00:14:54.080 --> 00:15:01.600
teenager was trying to get that peak
of success where you are the arcade wizard

189
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.240
and it comes with a hot chick
and a sporty new Levi jacket. You

190
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.120
remember those days, Oh, I
remember those Levi jackets that if it was

191
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.080
wintertime and you wore one of those, you were going to freeze to death

192
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.279
because they weren't Yeah. Yeah,
And if you put a member's only jacket

193
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.840
on then, I mean, you
can cruise any chick that you wanted at

194
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.240
a dance party. Bro. That
was just one of the weak stages of

195
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.240
the eighties. But that's another story. We're going to take a sharp break.

196
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.480
When we come back, we'll have
more of this talk of the greatest

197
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.759
decade unearth. That's right. So

listening to Back to the Eighties, Welcome

205
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.159
back. You were on the hang
with Tascano and Chang. We are discussing

206
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:29.159
video games here at Back to the
Eighties and Tascano, we're talking about video

207
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.279
games. We were talking about Donkey
Kong and we were talking about of course

208
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:37.799
pac Man. What was one of
your favorite Space Sage games, Mine had

209
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:44.159
to be Galactica. I just thought
that was pretty cool that the way the

210
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.399
ships you could just line them up
and fire away, and then they would

211
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.480
spin off and come at you at
all kinds of directions. I thought it

212
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:55.399
was a little bit more action packed
than Asteroids. How about you, Well,

213
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.679
I like it. Now, are
you talking about Galagha or Galaxian,

214
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:06.000
because because Galaxion was first, Yeah, Galaxion was first, and then after

215
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:11.680
Galaxion it spawned Gallagher. That's anyway. That's according to some of the information

216
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.480
that I'm that I've been reading.
If somebody out there knows something different or

217
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.400
knows the official version, please let
us know. Here at back to the

218
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.880
eighties, So your favorite game was
Galaxion, right, yes, Bro?

219
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.880
That and Defenders. I used to
like the Space Age games were just like

220
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.240
Killer Bro. I mean, you
put yourself right there. You know you

221
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.039
think you're in a space war.
Yeah? I agree. So my favorite

222
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:40.920
game President, my favorite game of
all time was a game that I don't

223
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.119
know. You may have heard of, it may have not, but I'm

224
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:59.799
gonna let you listen to it and
then you tell me away. So that

225
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.519
was my favorite game of all time. It came out of nineteen eighty two

226
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:10.960
by the company called Namco, and
it's a game called Excevious. It's spelled

227
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:18.079
yeah, it spelled xEV io u
S and it features a little spacecraft that

228
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:26.079
shoots both a double firing system and
also shoots bombs at different locations as these

229
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.720
flying discs go in the air,
and also these little stations that are on

230
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.759
the ground shoot at you as well. But the cool thing that made me

231
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:40.440
just get so psyched about this game
was that there were little cheats in the

232
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.559
game, and that was as you're
crossing this green valley with a kind of

233
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.000
rivers running through it and things like
that, you can shoot bombs in areas

234
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.279
that were blank or there's nothing there, and sometimes you would have like an

235
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.200
extra life appear and then you'd shoot
it and you know, you'd get your

236
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.559
extra life. So that was my
favorite game of all time up until we

237
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.599
get to number one. But I'm
not gonna be talking about that just yet.

238
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.680
Now. Was that the game that
used to shoot from the front and

239
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.440
the rear? No, No,
no, I know, I think I

240
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.079
know which one you're talking about,
but no, this is totally different.

241
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:25.440
Now. Jumping over to nineteen eighty
five with the North America eighty five eighty

242
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.440
six. With the North American release
of the Nintendo Entertainment System in nineteen eighty

243
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.839
five and the Sega Master System,
the focus switched heavily to developing home gaming

244
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:41.039
systems. So that's where everything changed. Although arcades were still the thing,

245
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.920
people having fun at those arcades.
I mean, it was still huge,

246
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:49.440
but it was something that was looming
in the horizon. And something else happened

247
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.319
two years prior. And this is
what I think was interesting. In nineteen

248
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.559
eighty three, And I don't know
if you remember this, bro, a

249
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:03.559
lot of news segments featured the moral
fight against video games by concerned parents,

250
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.920
and did you know that that nearly
killed the video game industry? Yeah,

251
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.759
I remember that. I was a
senior in high school in eighty three.

252
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:17.200
I remember that, and I was
already kind of growing out of video games

253
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:22.039
by then. I discovered women and
finding that singing with bands gets you a

254
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:23.480
lot of chicks. So I didn't
play too many video games, but I

255
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:30.160
remember that happening, and I thought, you know, what kind of conservative

256
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.920
crap are we going into? Where
you're going to jeopardize one of the greatest

257
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:41.599
entertainment packages that we had in that
generation. And I believe that was the

258
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.240
era when we started going into tokens. Now, check this out. Before

259
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.759
nineteen eighty five, the industry had
made twelve billion dollars in video games a

260
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:55.920
year. Twelve billion dollars. That's
a huge industry. A whole lot of

261
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.680
quarters, a whole lot of quarters. Now, once parents started fighting against

262
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:04.559
the video game companies and then the
console wars started, they went from twelve

263
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:11.319
billion in nineteen eighty five, they
only made one hundred million dollars. Wow,

264
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.799
now that's huge. That's a huge
loss for arcades. It was a

265
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.839
pastime when you think about it,
playing video games was a pastime. You

266
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.640
know. It was just something you
did and and something that everybody did,

267
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.039
you know. But back then,
remember it really didn't matter what age.

268
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:32.160
I remember going to arcade still even
after I had graduated, and there was

269
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.279
people of all ages, you know, I would see people older than me,

270
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.640
people in their twenties, and it
was like it was always fun,

271
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:44.440
man, because different generations, the
zest that they had for some of these

272
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.839
games was pretty intense. Yeah,
I used to enjoy watching older, older

273
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.480
cats play some of the young cats
man. Oh, and the battles that

274
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:55.559
they would have. That was great
to see. Do you remember it was

275
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.680
a hockey table, was like it
was supposed to be glass over it like

276
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.359
a home and it was kind of
like a foosball table, but it was

277
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.680
hockey players with the sticks and everything. That was one of my favorite games

278
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.359
of all time. Oh yeah,
dude, I remember that game where you

279
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.160
your your hockey players are sliding with
those little flat Yes, that's the one.

280
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.880
That's the one every every now and
then you had one guy that couldn't

281
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.000
turn all the way around here.
We get pissed off and I got a

282
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.000
week. Yeah, you know,
I remember that. Do you remember?

283
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.960
Oh home man, I'm gonna go
out on a limb here. Back in

284
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.559
the seventies, real quick. I
don't know if you remember the game Electric

285
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:37.079
Football. I do remember Electric Football. The sports games where the she nuts

286
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.839
back then roll Oh no, they
were. They were extremely popular. Around

287
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.960
nineteen eighty two. There was a
game that I used to play across the

288
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.880
street from my house. It was
at an Alpha Beta supermarket. They had

289
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.160
three video games. They had pac
Man, they had my favorite game,

290
00:22:52.200 --> 00:23:00.559
Exsebious, and they had the game
called USA Olympics where you could play several

291
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:07.079
different sporting events in that game.
It was just awesome. I remember my

292
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.960
friends used to come up with a
method to press the buttons quicker so that

293
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.319
the little man would run faster until
they would put a pencil between the pinkie

294
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.680
and the index finger going over the
middle and ring finger and they would press

295
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.599
on one side of the pencil whether
pencil eraser was pressing the other button.

296
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:27.000
It was genius, but it never
worked for me. You know what,

297
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.440
I bet you that that would have
worked when you were playing Remember that first

298
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.680
boxing game that they put out,
punch Out, wasn't it? Yeah,

299
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.279
punch Out? You remember that game. I think that probably would have worked.

300
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:38.559
That trick on that game would have
worked. That was a crazy game

301
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.920
too, It was, Yeah,
it was hard. I remember punching the

302
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.200
crap auto machines. We're getting tossed
out of arcade. That game was insane.

303
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.759
You know. After that, I
remember them coming out with like a

304
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.279
sequel to punch Out, and it
was called Mike Tyson's punch Out. Do

305
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:00.400
you remember, yes, dude,
of course, the game. The game

306
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.720
after I'm gonna cook a while,
children, I'm gonna I'm gonna hit you

307
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:08.920
so hard. Let me take a
quick moment, and mentioned that On our

308
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:14.799
Facebook fan page, a lot of
people have given us comments on what their

309
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:19.400
favorite games were. Gary Done said
that his favorite game was Air Combat from

310
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:26.599
Atari. Robert Deetz says Donkey Kong
and Burger Time. Jason Atkinson says his

311
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.319
favorite game of all time is gallagha. Let me take a couple more.

312
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:34.200
Scott Chamberlain says Defender and Rampage,
and a young lady by the name of

313
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:41.799
Sarah Kelly says Rampage, and Brent
cast says Pole Position. Oh, Pole

314
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.359
Position. That's a game that Wow, that was a game I used to

315
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:48.279
like to play. I'm giving air
fives to all those cats, man.

316
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.599
That was That was some good games, bro. I mean, now what

317
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.599
about days, Bro? What what
do we have nowadays? I'll try to

318
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.559
play a video game with my grandkids
and don't wook my butt so quick.

319
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.240
I looked stupid. I'd just rather
go out there and watched the grass groll

320
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.279
Bro instead in front of a video
game against get My get my skinny flat

321
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:10.240
butt handed to me by my nine
year old grandson. Bro, there's a

322
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:15.920
gentleman by the name of James Jolly
who says pac Man, Matt Bryant says

323
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.640
Rygar and wonder Boy. I don't
remember that one. I don't remember that.

324
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.000
Dorothy McCumber says Gorf, and Jeremy
mcgoon says Tempest. Remember Tempest?

325
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.880
I remember Tempest? Oh? Yes, I remember Tempest. Bro. So

326
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.599
these were all classic games of that
era. Point it was more of a

327
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.920
mind game, bro. Yeah,
it was very difficult. I mean,

328
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:40.720
you know what game wasn't difficult.
Do you remember Tron? How many people

329
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.319
out there listening you remember Tron?
I used to love playing Tron, but

330
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.359
I hated it because I always used
to crash in those darn little motorcycles.

331
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.519
Yes, I hated that part too, Bro. That was that was a

332
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.119
trippy game. Man. I used
to try to play that game under the

333
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.279
influence of a LSD, and I
did I think I was better under the

334
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:02.079
end? Think I think I think
you were playing other video games. Let

335
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:08.839
me quickly run down the world's record
or the inductees to the Video Game Hall

336
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:14.079
of Fame. I'm just gonna run
down real quick and twentieth places, you

337
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:15.799
know what. Actually, let me
do this before I run down the list.

338
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:21.359
I'm gonna let you hear Number twenty
because Number twenty is probably the hardest

339
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.960
game I had ever played up to
that point. And it was a game

340
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.039
that came out in nineteen eighty three, and it was made by a company

341
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.799
called Cinematronics, and it follows the
adventures of well, I'm not even gonna

342
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.440
tell you, I'm gonna let you
hear it for yourself. Here we go,

343
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:45.880
The dragons Layer. You will become
a valiant knight on a quest to

344
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:51.960
rescue the fair Princess from the touches
of an email dragon. You control the

345
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.039
actions of a daring adventurer finding his
way through the actual of a dot wizard

346
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:04.759
who has enchanted it with traitorous monster
and obvious computing hinting the mysterious cabins middle

347
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:11.400
over the castle. You're obviously you
couldn't be so this dragons Layer. Yes,

348
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.559
And what made it so awesome is
that it was a cartoon. I

349
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.359
mean, and I don't mean it
looked like a cartoon. It was a

350
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:23.119
cartoon, and so people flocked to
this game. But it was just so

351
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.519
so darn hard. I don't even
think I made it through the guy's first

352
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:32.799
few steps after encountering a bad guy. Yeah, that's where I was at

353
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.799
on that game. That's kind of
like the grandfather of modern day gaming.

354
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.200
I would I would say, on
a hunch, would you agree? Definitely?

355
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.000
I know that it was way way
way ahead of this time, and

356
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.519
it was just a game that just
it was stunning, stunning to look at.

357
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.880
Yeah, I would have much rather
watched it in a movie than get

358
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.920
my butt handed to me on that
game as many times as I did.

359
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.000
But that was that was a pretty
cool game. Yeah. And then Disney.

360
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.920
Yeah it didn't Disney come up with
Gragon Sellers a movie or something like

361
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.480
that, Yes, I believe.
Yeah, that's when Disney started getting greedy

362
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.519
and capitalizing on just about everything.
And that is something we can touch on

363
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.039
Toscano and Chain once again, if
you just joined us here with Toscano and

364
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.920
Chain here back to the eighties.
We want to remind you that we have

365
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.599
a Facebook fan page which you can
go ahead and pay a visit and leave

366
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:25.480
us a little note there on what
topics you'd like to discuss. Every single

367
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.839
Friday when we get together here with
all this madness, we'll discuss some of

368
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.559
these topics. Back to back to
the video games, Number eighteen on the

369
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:40.799
list is Tempest number seventeen. Here's
a game that I really liked because the

370
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:45.119
visuals were just nice and I was
actually pretty pretty decent at it. And

371
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.640
that's Centipede. Oh yeah, Centipede. I forgot about the dead game.

372
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:55.000
That game it kind of easy,
kind of not, but the graphics on

373
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:56.680
that thing were pretty cool. Yeah, that was a pretty cool game.

374
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:02.480
Ye number sixteen, rating as all
hell, all of them, all of

375
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:06.759
them. Man number sixteen on the
list that made it was my favorite game.

376
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:12.000
Exivious number fifteen, Donkey Kong Junior. I'm going to skip a few

377
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:18.200
down the road and going to go
to Frogger as number twelve. Okay,

378
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.240
I needed that game. That was
a great game. They even had Star

379
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.319
Wars the game. Did you ever
play this because I didn't really see much

380
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.680
of this game and it was a
game that was released in nineteen eighty three

381
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.759
based on the movie. Yeah,
so yeah, I don't remember seeing that

382
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.119
game around. I really don't remember
seeing that game. So jumping up to

383
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:45.279
number seven, we had Donkey Kong
made it number six Burger Time. Number

384
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.319
five is the one that you just
mentioned, which is Tron. Number four

385
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.960
was created in nineteen eighty two.
Number four was very famous. Believe it

386
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:56.680
or not, I have never played
number four, and that's Cubert. I've

387
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.079
never played that either. I've never
even heard of that game up until this

388
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.759
segment. Well, Cubert, I'm
sure you've seen it. You probably just

389
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:08.079
don't remember. But your goal is
to hop from one cube to another,

390
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:12.559
change the color of every pyramid without
falling off or getting caught by the bad

391
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:18.480
guys. Yeah. One of one
of its very popular antics was whenever Cubert

392
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:23.319
was caught by the enemy, a
dialogue bubble shows up with little curse signs,

393
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:29.599
you know, representing yeah, representing
swearing, and it was yeah.

394
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.119
So it was very very successful.
Number three, of course, what are

395
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.680
we gonna say? It's miss pac
Man. Number two, galagha, and

396
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.599
we come to number one. Now, I went really really fast and I

397
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.839
skipped over because we just don't have
that much time on the show. But

398
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.440
number one, brother, I'm going
to play you the sound effect. This

399
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:53.839
was to become my favorite game of
all time, and it was the very

400
00:30:53.839 --> 00:31:04.759
first time was nineteen eighty three when
it came out and it was called Now

401
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:15.119
everybody and their grandmother knows what that
game is and that's Super Mario. This

402
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:19.359
came out. This came out after
the original Mario Brothers game, which,

403
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:23.400
by the way, I played the
original and I never understood it, never

404
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:29.319
got it. I sucked at it. And then when Super Mario comes out,

405
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.440
that's when everybody said, Oh my
gosh, what is this. It

406
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.279
was great to play. It was
easy, and yet it was challenging and

407
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.480
had different levels. It was just
a great, great game to play.

408
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.160
I was way better at Super Mario
than Mario Brothers. Yeah, it was

409
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.599
pretty easy to play, man.
You know. There was some games that

410
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.880
were pretty easy, and then there
was some games that would just get you

411
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.200
so pissed off. You go out
there and slap yourself a thousand ties for

412
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.279
wasting quarters getting your ass kicked on
those things. But yeah, Super Mario,

413
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.480
bro, that thing was so easy. I used to just like to

414
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.880
cream my buddy, you know,
left and right on that game. Bro.

415
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:08.359
I mean, that was like the
big thing back then, man,

416
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:12.960
when you could just like beat your
buddies and you got bragging rights all the

417
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.799
way home, whether you're driving or
walking. You know. Oh no,

418
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.480
it was a fantastic time. It
was an era that brought so many kids

419
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.920
together and We looked forward to the
weekends because it was a time where we

420
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:30.880
can just ride our bikes. Maybe
we got invited to a birthday party.

421
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:36.799
Maybe you know, your parents were
just that those cool parents that allowed you

422
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.000
and went with you to some of
the arcades. You know, whatever it

423
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.440
is, or was it after school, You know that you got together with

424
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:46.559
your friends and you stopped by maybe
the local liquor store to play the arcade

425
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:53.079
games. But whatever it was,
it was just a time that made us

426
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:58.359
all smile. Man, that was
a time, bro when you could go

427
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.400
to your local liquor store play video
game. I'll never forget so many times

428
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.400
then I would hear the liquor store
clerk call hey, four at a time,

429
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:07.480
four at a time. You other
guys, get your bikes off the

430
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.519
glass and get the hell out of
here. I remember those days, you

431
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:14.440
know, Yeah, because sometimes,
man, the liquor store, depending on

432
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.960
how many games they had, Dude, they would get packed. Man,

433
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:22.240
I remember putting people putting your quarters
on the game Dex and then going next.

434
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.279
It was insane, man, I
remember those days, man and boy,

435
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:29.680
I swiped a lot of baseball cards
roll during those years brow when people

436
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:32.400
were like lining up to play video
games. Nobody was paying attention to anything

437
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:37.000
else. So me and Top's got
along just great. On that note,

438
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.240
we're gonna take a little break when
we come back. It's your favorite time

439
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:44.920
in mind. It's the time that
we call the chain grease, don't go

440
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:57.599
away. This is back to the
eighties. That's right, Welcome back to

441
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:01.799
the eighties. This is the time, ladies and gentlemen, This is the

442
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:07.640
time we've all been waiting for,
because it's the time when we allow the

443
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:14.440
man of a million illusions, the
ever so wondrous Chang to delight us in

444
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.920
those things that made us all angry
back in the eighties. Oh yes,

445
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.559
and in his honor, Yeah,
and in his honor, we now call

446
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:28.079
them changrys. So Chang take it
away. Well, everybody, I'm gonna

447
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:30.639
have to get a couple of things
off my chest right here. You know

448
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:36.320
what gets me changry about the eighties? Skinny jeans? You know what gets

449
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.440
me changries about the eighties? What's
