I found some old VHS tapes of news specials from ABC news that we recorded back in the 80's. The first one is called "Video Fever" and it aired on ABC channel 7 Los Angeles in 1982. It focuses mostly on the arcade indusry and the people that play them. There are even shots of Trons and Galagas being assembled at Bally and shots of the assembly line at Taito. Jack Mittle of Taito looks like a total sleeze bucket lol

The next video I posted is called "Nuts for Nintendo" recorded in 1988 from ABC news 20/20 about the big hype surrounding Super Mario Bros 2 and the Legend of Zelda 2.

I still have piles of tapes to go through and I know I have a lot more stuff we recorded back in the day. It will take a lot time to go through and will upload them as they become available. Enjoy!!
 
Watched the first one and it was really really great.

Loved watching them assemble those Trons and applying those Galaga CPOs!

Taito's new game Toaster's and Chainsaws!?!? They had art and everything. I need that game!
 
Is this somehow related?

Great quality, especially considering how old those VHS tapes must be!

That's the first time I've ever seen an actual CPO applied at the factory, and I love how that guy slams the Tron bezel in place! He walks over to the machine and, blam!

I actually cringed when I saw that.
 
i forgot all about channel 7 news anchor Tawny Little...

what a babe!

+1 Do you have any more videos with Tawny Little? I don't care if they're not video game related. :001_sdrool:

"Myerson also suggests that serious players consider an arcade glove". Anyone know where I can buy an arcade glove?
