how are you supposed to figure out what items you need to go into each room with?

I had this game when I was a kid. My aunt gave me her 2600 and a bunch of games. I'd play this with no manual, and no earthly idea of what was happening or what I was supposed to do. I have a theory that's why many people who grew up with this game feel like they do about it. I liked Ms. Pac Man and the Muppets game Pigs in Space the best. The bowling game was cool too. Rock on with your bad self.

I beat this game as a kid and I still have no idea how. Watching this now without the manual....is probably just as confusing as it was back in the day. Still, fun to watch so THANKS!

Really fun game. One of the most confusing rule books but I still managed to win and find the Ark back when this was new. Thanks for posting this!

4k? Really? How much resolution do you need to display 4-bit pixels? 😂

Honestly not bad for 1982. Definitely better than Pong. I could see hanging out with a friend and some snacks and having a good time with this back then.

Atari 2600 Berzerk never gets old to me!

Actually looks better than this on an old TV. I used to play the heck out of this back in the day. Interesting story: The guy that wrote this game, Bob Polaro, was team buddies with Todd Frye, the man who (in)famously made the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man. When their team leader presented them with two games to work on, Defender and Pac-Man, Todd Frye let Bob choose which one he wanted to do and he chose Defender because he didn't think Pac-Man would be possible (due to the extreme limitations of the system), leaving Pac-Man up to Todd. The rest is history!

This was a good game. I played it a lot.

Fun game. Almost as good as the arcade. Used to play this for hours.

Childhood memories unlocked! Thanks for the awesome upload!

Another great upload. Thank you!

Nice i love burgertime

Great game

One of my favorite games of all time. I still play this on my Switch. Greatly appreciate the upload❣

Another excellent upload! Thanks for these wonderful 4K ( old but gold ) gaming videos 🕹❣

Wow, I forgot about this game. I remember it now. Thx!

This was the original version before they were sued by the owners of Tarzan right?

Another great classic! I truly love you channel. Saddens me that you don't get more views. Shared it with some friends. Hoping your channel grows.🥰❣ I appreciate your uploads very much!

Back in the day it was one of my favorite arcade games! Thanks for the upload!!!

Do also the gameplays of "Birdie King 2", "Birdie King 3" and "Big Event Golf".

Difficulty ramps up quick with this one. Nicely done. I remember the lit up joystick but didn’t play it much.

This game had a great cabinet and joystick, the lighting was fantastic as well. It’s always been my guess the software guys weren’t quite finished when they launched it. The background doesn’t look complete to me. Game play was good, not great. However it’s fantastic to see it here. 😃

Oh yes, the game made (in)famous by its title. Plus it was featured on the old movie “Joysticks”. Great game. Thanks for posting this one.

Always preferred Turbo but it was a fun game. The 2600 port was actually pretty good given the limitations of the system.

It was years before I realized player 1 had an ostrich and player 2 has a stork. At least I think it is a stork. Great game, a local Mexican restaurant in the 80s had a Joust cabinet near the register and my brother and I conned my dad into some quarters to play it all the time. What a fun game. “Buzzard bait”

Don’t remember this one at all. Looks cool.

I only saw this game a couple times. I had forgotten about it. Was it a conversion game? Was super rare where I lived in central Ca. I grew up in the arcades from 78-91 I was there all the time. I stopped playing video games mostly in 84-85 and switched to pool.

The best game ever. thanks for posting such a great video

6 used to be my most successful boxer. With only the arm with the hole in the glove punch. He usually knocked them out.

Another tremendous Williams title. These were pretty rare in the wild. The joystick for this game was very complex. It wasn’t a 4 contact joystick like a Robotron giving 8 directions. It had more contacts as I recall. This game got very very difficult after a few levels. Was a fun game

This was an awesome game. I was never good at it, think the best I could do was get to the third wave. Sinistars voice was ominous and the scream would really throw off your concentration.

Nice good playtrough

Great game. I have an original upright cabinet with e CRT monitor at home. I play it all the time. Awesome video!

One of my favorites as a kid. Loved the dual joysticks. It was real popular, the arcade I went to had three cabinets if I remember right. Had the port on an Atari Lynx years later. It worked really well on that system.

A wonderful classic! Thanks for posting🙏🏾🕹

The sounds in this game are amazing. Williams sure had it right. I wasn’t ever any good at Joust, I never put the time into it. Great video & title to publish. Well played too!

Nice playtrough joust is awesome

I always felt like I could get better at this game. Sink 20 was a good result for me. I saw a few people who played a little better, but I never saw anyone who could play it real good. I’m certain it’s possible, just not many machines around and wasn’t very popular. Is it possible to play forever like Defender? Not sure, always wondered

The 2nd game was much harder for sure

This was a very difficult arcade game. I’ve seen some very good players. Wasn’t me

Fun game!

"Eliminator" was the 2nd game (preceded by "Space Fury") in the SEGA/Gremlin series of vector games. Probably the most interesting thing about this game was the fact that up to 4 players could play simultaneously (there was 2-player machines & 4-player machines). It's possible this was the very first arcade video game to have such a feature. If you can last long enough to blow up the base around 15 times, the base will move around the screen crazy fast. My highest score (so far) on "Eliminator" is 540,100.

This was a fun game. As I recall it was a conversion game for used cabinets

You do have the power of editing. Look into it.

Hardcore

Played like a pro , pity couldn't last to 100k , so close .That's one game i couldn't clock , But i loved it .

"TAC/SCAN" was the 2nd to last vector arcade game by SEGA/Gremlin & just like the other vector games in the series ("SPACE FURY" "ELIMINATOR" "ZEKTOR" "STAR TREK") things start to get very crazy after about 7 to 8 minutes of game play. These games at least allowed you to feel like you got your quarters worth by letting you play fairly stress free for about the first 5 minutes. My highest score (so far) on "TAC/SCAN" is 438,200 & it took a lot of playing & patience to get that high of a score.

Great video. Always loved watching this game. I can’t play it-I have no feeling for where I’m at.

The last time I played this game was in like 1989.
