3 classic games in this video (the reason I asked about manuals)

[NuAngel]

I recently started a post and asked about different versions of manuals. I ended up not referencing the fact that there were different revisions in the video, so I guess it didn't matter so much - BUT I was quite happy to learn anyway!!

 

Well, I just wanted to share what I was working on when I asked. Please, feel no obligation to watch, I just wanted to share (I don't mean to "spam" my link, I just wanted to share it with you folks!).

Gotta remember, Space War is a conversion of the arcade game by Cinematronics and Vectorbeam. "You and your opponent blast off into space"! haha No fancy story needed (just a combat game set in outer space) and no shuttle docking game in the arcade either. Atari added some other variations to their version also, which helps to keep things interesting. Did not have the home version BITD, but had the real arcade game in our living room growing up. My brother and I would play that for hours on end.

Did you have the coolest parents in the world, and did every kid at school want to be your friend? Sounds way better than having the 2600 cart!

Space War (VCS) isn't so much a conversion of Space Wars (arcade) as it is a game with the same premise. Space Wars was influenced by the computer game Spacewar, which was also the inspiration for the earliest coin-op video games, Computer Space and Galaxy Game.
