Nice to see dad and daughter gaming together.
I think i remember that they don’t want own kids, or am i mistaken? I mean no matter if it’s his daughter, he’s the godfather or just another constellation, it was heartwarming to see 😁👍
@@erebostd How long has it been since you last watched? I guess you missed Babyfractic.
@@BigFunnyGiant i did? Well, maybe it’s my memory or i missed it, I’ll check! Thank you 😁👍
She's a toddler already? No no no, too fast! One of the biggest heart melting moments I had was sitting in the theater with my Daughter watching Ghostbusters Afterlife. Same age I sat in a theater with my mom watching the original Ghostbusters. Add my mother having passed away in 2019, the scene at the end with Ramis, I lost it. I don't think she saw, but I lost it.
Oof I lost it just with Ramis, I can't imagine how you felt. All the best 🙏
Ah Perifratic... The circle is complete!
Now your daughter will have her own memories, and the same love for the Atari, that you gained from your childhood
Hi Christian, as a fellow computer child of the 80’s I love your 8 bit content however it’s the way you create the videos with such thought and warmth which is truly mind blowing. You both come across as such genuine and retro enthusiasts which is impossible to fake and makes it so much more enjoyable to watch all you do. Thanks guys and congratulations on the birth of your daughter - my daughter is 25 now which to me is unbelievable so enjoy everything to the max as it goes by so quickly xx
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹
Ohhhh those last 30 seconds were so adorable. That’s what live is all about sharing moments together.❤
That moment when you share that special moment between you and babyfractic was very touching. That’s the moment that I told myself when it comes time for her to take over the channel she will be the one to carry over the phrase “ Hello chip dippers!” just like her parents. Keep up the good work!
My full circle moment came with watching Lady Hawk, Willow, and labyrinth with my two sons. It’s a great feeling. Being a dad is the best honor and privilege of my life. Thanks for continuing to share your story. It inspires me to reflect on mine. Cheers Brother.
80s Star Wars was the best Star Wars ❤
Until Andor and Star Wars Visions and Tales of the Jedi and Baby Grogu came along.
Agreed as a man of a certain time, I will never forget the first moment you hear that theme..then you buy every movie tie in game you can find….lol
Tore my heart out man. Was gaming like this with my kiddo too, now she mostly plays the Donkey Kong in my basement one year away from high school graduation . Still loves the classics. She will too for it. Great episode.
The best thing i saw in that video was the last 30 seconds when that dad in tears played with his little princess! Priceless....just priceless!!!
What a beautiful image...the father with his daughter playing together. Great way to end the video! Congratulations!
Babyfractic was literally blown away by the game 😂
Particularly that explosion!
What a truly moving episode. As we get older and our parents move on, these memories take on such a huge significance . It's a part of us. Love this . Thank you .
Seeing Baby Fractic... makes one a bit sad... just "the other day", she was not yet born. A stark reminder, how our times runs out...
Okay Debby Downer. Thanks for bringing everyone down.
You totally take my breath away slipping me back in to the years of my childhood. Then seeing the image of you and Babrfactic sitting together in that moment life was prefect, Thank you Pirfractic, Lady Fractic and Baby Fractic.
It's our pleasure 🙏
Wow, I can't believe how much Babyfractic has grown! It only seems like the other day she was born and should still be a her cot. I wonder if she'll be co hosting with you guys when she gets older. What a wonderful sight. :)
Lil Perry is a beefy lad in that flashback bit at the end, would have been a big hit for pee wee football coaches. Great video man
this video hit me right in the feels man.
12:30 - Only a matter of time until we get the episode, "Hello Chip Dippers, on this edition of Retro Recipes I'll be cleaning out the Atari 400 that BabyFractic filled with oatmeal."
lets hope thats all it is. haha
Emotional video. I always wanted ESB for my 2600, incredible game.
Love this! I had a very similar experience way back when I was just a nipper. The family computer was an Atari 130xe so the end of the line 400/800 family and my mum ordered a new game for it. I still vividly recall the box art with the giant monkey/gorilla on it and being told by my mum that it was the wrong game cartridge.. despite my protests that I was “sure I could make it work”, what I now know to be donkey kong for the 2600 got sent back to wherever she had ordered it from and I was sad..
I was also 10 in 1983, visited my Family in Scotland for the first time (Mom from Scotland dad was USAF) and also visited London that Summer. Who knows, maybe I saw Perifractic there somewhere. I have fond memories of playing arcade games in an arcade in Ayr and visiting my grandfather in Dundee. I totally get the sentimental feeling of making a childhood dream come true.
Timex had a factory in Dundee where they assembled ZX81's and later ZX Spectrums!
This hit me right in the heart. This is what gaming is all about ❤️
Daughter and Daddy time!!! Love it! Your emotion at the end was sure felt here in Ohio. Thanks so much for what you do.
Oh man, this was me and my son Eli. Always he asked "retro games", and then "retro computer". You literally made me cry at the end.
Brother, thank you for the nostalgia tears! I still remember sitting on the floor with my dad playing the Atari 2600 he picked up from a pawn shop in 1983.
Brings back great memories. I never did have the Atari 400 but I’ve always wanted one. I did however have the Atari 2600 heavy 6er and I have the empire strikes back for that machine. You make amazing emotional videos. Thank you.
No, I’m not crying! I’ve just been chopping onions 😢 what a beautiful video.
What an emotional video to watch. Love your efforts as always mate. Also, your take on how much "latency" actually matters, mirrors my own, and it's refreshing to hear someone else say it, rather than foaming at the mouth shouting "it's too laggy" as many do.
At 12:20 , the scene with babyfractic... it moved me so much. Absolutely beautiful. I remember my time with my daughters, and I would love to experience that again. Perhaps with their kids... Thank you. So much.
Thank you
I LOVE your CAUTION comment at the beginning, it is so you and so why we're here
Oh yeah, great episode. In 1983, I received two of those cartridges for my birthday. It was also the main reason to get the 2600. I still have the second one, unopened and foil-sealed, in pristine condition.
You and BabyFractic are ready to rule the Retro Galaxy as Father and Daughter.
Impressive ... most impressive.
"I am your Father. No really."
Christian is one of the luckiest retro gamers ever to have owned an 8 bit Atari computer in the early 80's.As a fellow Englishman, I've only ever met one other Brit who owned an Atari 8 bit computer that wasn't a 2600/VCS variant and I didn't meet this gent until I was at uni circa 2000.
Owning a "proto Amiga" ie an Atari 400 or 800 gains you instant access into the lofty ranks of the retro computing elite for that alone.
I had an Atari 800 that my dad bought from Lasky's in Bromley, London in the early 80's. My dad upgraded the memory, got disk drives, the works. We had so many games as he was part of club of guys who used to hang out at 'The Silica Shop' in Sidcup, which was an Atari hub back in day. It was an awesome machine, but rare.
@@CaratacusAD Its only in recent years I've been lucky enough to play with a real Atari 800 myself. Very advanced hardware for the time.
Not a baby anymore,when did that happen,who invented time.
That was absolutely fantastic! I hope you and BabyFractic have many, many years of quality retro computing time together.
Aww cheers mate! Now unload that wishdosher!
That was the best, and to see Perifractic and his daughter playing.
Crying
Loving the "modded cartridge" and the video footage of young Peri. There is a lot to be said for reliving those moments.
The Daddy's little princess tee shirt is adorable!
Wow, what a blast from the past! We lived very near Peter Jones on Sloane Square for many years. Had an Atari 2600 that my dad bought there.
Gang of us kids used to play this at my friends house. We used to die so much playing this game back in the early 80s. What a great nostalgia.
the ending was amazing a future retro gamer!! great work greetings from Margate England
Seeing Babyfractic there with you while you were playing the game was just so cute. I smiled when I saw that. I hope that she'll have an appreciation for the classics.
Whoo - what an episode! It hit mig right in the nostalgia heart ❤Great video, amazing fealing!
Hold on! You've got a daughter now?! ... Cool!!! Congratulations!!! I'm now 50 and my daughter is 5, it's a beautiful thing 😃
Btw - you really know how to bring a tear to my eye when you're thinking back, so very relatable at our age 🥹
Wow, babyfractic in this video made me realize just how long I, and my family have been following this channel.
Beautiful video 🙌
I’ve watched your videos on and off for a long time now. I originally found your channel through the 8-Bit Guy. Although for some weird reason CZcams hadn’t suggested your videos to me for a while even though I’m subbed and have the bell 🔔 notification clicked on. 🤔
I also didn’t realise you have become a father!? Huge belated congrats 🥂 really happy for you. 😊
Thanks for all the great videos over the years.
Looking forward to many more. 👏
Wow…great video..as someone from the uk your age…this video brought back memories for me to…well done…happy sub here…
I remember back in the early 80's, my mum and dad buying me the monthly edition of Your Sinclair and Sinclair Programs and sitting in front of the Speccy for the whole day, typing in the code from it's pages. However, so many times, the code had bugs in it and failed to work. The following month, they'd release the page of code to fix it. Frustrating, but I sat there every day and typed the programs in
Those last few seconds of the video made me yearn for those days with my own daughters. My eldest is 21 and on her own now and my second daughter is nearly out of high school. At least I still have a few years with my son (my youngest child) before he gets old enough to have his own life.
You are blest! Last part was just a blast from the past. Great to see that you are doing great! A new member of the family can have some impact on the balance. Looks like it is in balance there :)
You are the absolute master of capturing and visualizing the feeling of nostalgia!
That feedback really means a lot. It's a hard emotion to harness on CZcams but I strive to do so in a way that is meaningful. Thank you.
What a wonderful way to connect with your daughter by sharing your childhood with her. When she is more mobile, that fun, colorful room is full of interesting things I bet she is going to want you to share whether you like it or not. 😂
3:50 OMG that 70's wallpaper 🤣brings back memories of uncles with large mustaches, platform shoes, high collars, and permed hair
I remember playing this version of Empire Strikes Back, in early '90 loaded from tape (cartridges and floppies were unseen here in Poland).
I remember my mum at Xmas with my very first Speccy in 83 was a DK'Tronics keyboard Speccy and I loved it Thank you Mum and R.I.P love you
you have done it right, Teach them about the Force at a young age. May the Force be with you all
Thank you for making me cry and giggle at the end, Peri! 😀💜Babyfractic!
Great emotional video, my friend! Next time put out a big warning to buy enough tissues. I felt like this (still do) about "Yie Ar Kung Fu" and "Rambo II" for the C64, which i desperatly wanted to have for the Commodore Plus/4, since i could not afford a C64 back then. These two games were the first two games i ever experienced on a homecomputer in the 80's
Awesome! Babyfractic will have the same kind of nostalgia over dad introducing her to technology, while she is on Mars operating the new colony. Cheers!
Haha!
I can't believe babyfractic is that big already. Time really does fly.
Wow, Babyfractic is getting big! Cherish your time with her because they grow up way too fast.
That was unexpectedly emotional ♥
Love to see those little sprigs of hair in your daughter's hair, reminds me of my daughter when she was that age.
This made a hardass dude like me cry 😥, but it was beautiful and i needed that.❤
I'd give an arm to be able to go back to 1983 or the beginning of 1990...
Worked on my 2600
2 thinks in January 1980
First week, I started martial arts, age 14
At the end of the month, I bought my atari 2600
44 years ago now
Still training in martial arts, but now I know 10 martial arts.
I have no consoles these days. Just 3 gaming rigs
But I still am gaming
I had that red turbo joy stick loved it
what a lovely episode mate :) really heartfelt & touching
Thanks so much mate
Congratulations on Babyfractic! :D
Wow nice one... That hit straight in the feels 😭
WTH I was not expecting to cry but that moment with babyfractic killed me (in a good way).
It’s funny how many emotions kick in when you boot up an old game more so when it’s one of your all time fav games. Times of Lore on the C64 has this effect on me or Elite it’s like when you start a new game it feels like yesterday since you last played it let alone of 30 years ago. As always absolutely loved this video and I was a bit jealous of young Perri with his 5 o’clock shadow 😂. But the sweetest parts of the video was seeing the picture of the puppy’s and how you ended the video sitting playing g the game with your first born, I mean that must of made it extra special for you. As always keep up the great work and am looking forward to seeing the next one. Until then have a great weekend and you all take care 🙂
Thank you. I had a good beard for 10 years old!
I was able to download the arcade version of Star Wars on my current mac. I really liked that arcade game but did not play it much. Empire was one of the better 2600 titles. But, once I had my first computer (the Atari 800), I never owned a console again or had any interest. My favorite 2600 game was Star Master. It was really perfection. Graphics were really good.
Ahhh, thaaaaaaat game. Used to play it with a neighbour of mine who had a 2600. Good memories.
Lovely thumbnail photo ❤
Ahhh the game that never ends
I think I’ve got something in my eye… 😭
Such a sweet ending!
Here I am tearing up at tech video. Beautiful way to end the vid!
Ah, Peter Jones. It reminded me we would always go shopping at Deborah Meadon on a Saturday. Great video, as always, and especially moving.
Such a gift that you ca re-imagine your childhood with these strong emotions. Is Babyfractic a time traveller? Looks so big already.
As always I love all your videos 👍
Wonderful closure! I loved this game on the VCS. Funnily enough, I didn’t realize Atari made home computers at the time. I thought it was just arcades and consoles.
12:44 reminded me of the ship from 'defender' arcade game
You do realize that Jeff Minter wrote Attack of the Mutant Camels based on that Empire Strikes Back game. You could have played the clone.
Your tale of unrequited love always brings a tear to my eye. Blame Parker Brothers.
As for Ladyfractic, I don't think she was designed to accept cartridges. At least not directly, but I'm sure she is far more versatile and wonderful than Stella, who you also seemed to miss out on back when you were ten.
If I'd been there at that time I would have told you which gaming system it was designed for, but then you wouldn't have had an Atari 400 to enjoy.
Still, you got there in the end.
And what a heartwarming end to the video.
I remember playing this game back in the 80s on my Intellivision II. Everyone on youtube seems to have had Atari back then, I think I'm the only one who had Intellivision and Colecovision 😆 They had basically the same games.
Ok, similar story. It's 1996, and I go into a 99 cent store in California USA. To my astonishment, I catch this absolutely beautiful Star Wars box art for... THIS GAME. For $1, I picked up this game and hoped I would eventually get my hands on an atari to play it on. Needless to say, it's been 28 years for me and still no dice. Haha
It made it all the more fun to see your journey though! I relate to it a lot.
Wow! I have a Darth Vader edition VCS but it's faulty, if you wanted a repair project and to finally join the ranks. peri@perifractic.com
Another beautiful video, thank you.
Once upon a time ; Lucas film released the breath taking ; Empire Strikes Back on laserdisc , in THX , Dolby digital AC3 .
The audio visual was amazing /is for the time .
I have fond memories of spending my hard earned wages on a Pioneer laserdisc player ; those discs span at a frightening
speed and I had to physically turn over the disc to watch the movies ! ( dual layer discs came later )
Nice to see you young ones revisiting your childhood devices ! The 80's were the very best time of my life !
Loving the 400 Mini, overall, the joystick is perhaps the most innovative part except … the top button is in the perfect spot to accidentally hit, and it exits the game.
Watch out for Donkey Kong, those barrels fly at like 900 mph at you, needs to be a way to cycle games down somehow.
They also need to make additional joysticks more available.
Retro Recipes my best retro channel. Best regards 🥰
Pretty emotional. I was like that when I always wanted to play Ghostbusters on the C64. And I got the actual floppy disk. I cried when it took like 2 hours to load up......Lol.
well that was emotional bloody hell man 😭😭great video
Loved the end of this episode!
The best channel ever made, and much more!
Very thanks for make dreams really
Dude... you're not crying... I'm crying. :) My parents weren't really gamers themselves... but they were quite supportive of allowing me and my brother to enjoy our passion of computers, arcades and videos games in my youth in the 80's. They bought us our first console (Atari 2600, and yes we loved TESB) and eventually our first computer (Vic-20), and we enjoyed them both on our glorious black and white TV! Turn the brightness down and crank up the contrast... and watch those Asteroid ships fly across the screen with that amazing white phosphor trail! Over the years I carried that on and bought my own c64, Amigas, etc. Thanks for sharing a flash back in time of your special memories, and how you are carrying them on with your little one. My kids are adults now, but we share a common love for video games.
Thanks for zooming the last scene of the game that you both played. I find this a moving video. Thank you
Wonderful, thank you very much!
