Very cool seeing people playing Football on the Intellivision. It was a difficult game to learn (there were two instruction manuals that came with it, and one was just a playbook where you punched in number sequences to initiate various plays), but once you got into it, it was an incredibly fun and engaging game, especially for the time.

10:13 ... That's definitely an HP-85. I used those, or a similar model, like an HP-87, in the late 1980's at the university for electrical engineering classes, mainly to code out drawing & printing data measurement graphs (in HP-BASIC). I still have at least one handbook manual for it that I've kept all these decades later. I have the C-64, which came out a year later in 1982. But it would be nice to have an HP-85/87 just for nostalgia.

this is one of them videos where I wish I could slap the cameraman silly and yell "FOCUS ON THE FULL SCREEN YA JACKASS!" he kept zooming in on the timer and score numbers and I just wanted to see what the actual gameplay looked like. The 80s were truly a time. Glad it was part of my childhood, having been born a year after this video was produced :P

There's a lot to like about the early 3D stuff, I find the N64 and GameCube still capture a LOT of the magic these earlier games had. And let's not forget about handhelds like the GameBoy and Gameboy Color which post-dated the SNES but retained the tech. Imo its when games left the cathode ray tube and tried to be too much like movies instead of themselves is when things got less interesting. But not EVERYTHING did; while the mundane lost the magic (no good real-life sports games since madden for n64 and if its about shooting its definitely a waste of time) there's still a lot of heart and love and creativity in games today if you know where to look....its just not on the surface anymore like this era.
