| 1638954031883100167 | @kobunheat The irony about this is that Sears originally sold its branded Atari machines through its sporting goods departments. (But I remember finding games adjacent to toys in the 1980s). | 0 |
| 1638954013034151936 | @JazRignall @kobunheat If there was ever a glut in supply for PC games, leading to the retailer having to return or discount product, it stung but wasn‘t a catastrophe. | 0 |
| 1638950875099185152 | @JazRignall @kobunheat Cost of ROM reproduction $$$$$ Cost of Tape reproduction $ Your game’s a bust? ROMs - Landfill! Tape - I guess you can pull the paper sleeves and run the tapes through an eraser for rewriting? | 0 |
| 1638950476111654912 | @kobunheat I'm guessing the court decision that allowed Activision and other third parties to make games for the VCS fast-tracked the crash once they could put out so many games on shelves that didn't sell. | 0 |
| 1638948872721698820 | @kobunheat the duality is interesting because obviously Warner bought Atari not to have a toy division but out of a sense that this was a new medium. I mean, why else would they? But this toy interp. seems obviously correct as well. Just multiple things going on, simultaneously | 0 |
| 1638948673550966784 | @kobunheat I do find that difference fascinating. The US came out of the gate swinging with consoles in the late 70s, but they were a bit too expensive for the UK mass market. Instead, the games industry truly kicked off there five-or-so years later, driven by cheap computers. | 0 |

| 1640780153034010625 | @kobunheat I continue to think about if I were still a Nintendo Power editor and what an impossible nightmare the buildup to launch would be from our perspective! | 14 |
| 1638948525353603072 | @kobunheat I read this book at the time. Interesting perspective of the situation. Similarly in the early and mid-'90s video games were more an extension of the "consumer electronics" industry before breaking out and really becoming seen as its own thing. | 11 |

| 1639003003448356865 | @kobunheat That's a really interesting perspective that would align with what happened in Europe where they claim 'there was no crash.' Europe had games made by computer gaming companies while we had consoles made by leather/toy companies chasing fads, two completely different ideologies | 5 |
| 1638961146903531520 | @kobunheat I will read it but I have to warn that so many people get the crash wrong that my reading or viewing other people describe it can be categorized as hate watching. | 4 |
| 1640806439512842241 | @kobunheat Link: Look old man, if I put the Master Sword on the end of this broom it has a MUCH longer range. Old Man: I'm... I'm gonna go back in my cave now, if it's all right with you | 4 |
