You may not know this, but we here at Team TripleJump really like video games. It’s true! We like to play them, critique them, and we're even making our very own game. What we want to do more of, however, is look at the history of video games. In this video, we’ll be embarking on a journey of discovery to find out exactly where video games came from, how the technology came to be and how it has evolved over the years, what were the major breakthroughs, and where exactly our favourite pastime is headed in the future. This is The Untold Story Of (The ENTIRE History Of) Video Gaming.

Oh yeah, here we go... long video time! I've never made a long video but I have watched them before so I'm going to give this everything I've got.

Hey! Well done, Ben and Team TJ! I really appreciate these long form videos! If this doesn't get at least 300K likes, I'll be bummed.

I was down visiting my sister last week. And the brother in law had an actual Atari 2600 sitting under the TV. And he popped Pacman on for a few minutes to demonstrate it. I still play many many older games. I pointed out to him that during the month of July I've definitely played arcade Pacman, Mrs. Pacman and Pacman Jr on emulator. (because we were discussing the differing level layouts of the Pacman games.) Fantastic video guys. Enjoying it immensely.

For the "entire" history video there are a lot of important events missing. Like: Late 70's-Early 80's: The rise of arcade gaming. 1984-1992: 7800, Lynx & the decline of Atari. Mid 80's: The rise of home computers market. Early-Late 90's: Fighting games boom. 1993-1996: Jaguar & the fall of Atari. 1995: Sega Saturn's botched marketing & release in USA. Late 90's-Early 00's: The decline & fall of arcade gaming. 2000. John Romero's Daikatana is released. The game ruins the reputation & career of John Romero, 1 of the biggest gaming superstars of the 90's. Early-late 00's: Xtreme sports games boom. 2007: Ubisoft announces Beyond Good & Evil 2. As of 2024, the game is still not released, making it the title with longest development time (17+ years), suppressing previous record holder: Duke Nukem: Forever (15 years). 2016: Gamergate. 2018: GTAV suppresses 100 mil. copies sold. 2019-Present: DEI/ESG in AAA gaming. 2020: PS2 suppresses 155 mil. units sold & becomes best selling video game console of all time.
