Level42 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Hey guys, I have had this video material for quite a long time but couldn't publicize it any earlier.....the source is straight (digitalized copy) from the Dutch public broadcasting archives. It's a very nice vintage Dutch TV program mostly about arcades but there's also a nice part from 20.51 with some (simple) demo of an Atari 800, which is quite remarkable as the 800 was never officially imported into The Netherlands. Naturally we Atari freaks also directly recognize Star Raiders as the game being used in the background.... There are subtitles but I apologize for the poor English up ahead, but at least you can get an idea what is said. Enjoy !

lbaeza Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Thanks for sharing, Level 42. What is the name of that Darts game shown at minute 24? Kind regards, Luis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivop Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It looks like something went wrong with synchronizing audio and video. The audio does not match the video you see (like 1:05 drift(!)). I happen to understand what they say Hopefully you can fix this. It's great piece of television history, and image quality is nice considering how old it is! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtitle text is fine but while we German speakers can't understand Dutch as easy as the Dutch seem to understand German, it is obvious that the subtitles don't match the spoken Dutch and sometimes there is no audio but the lips of the guy with the Atari on his desk still move.

Level42 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Oops, thanks for the heads-up, I’ll have look at it ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Crap...I already see what happened.... I edited the video to get rid of the first part which was not so interesting I MHO but it looks like the stupid YouTube editor only removed the sound part ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivop Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Oh, please don't cut the intro with the coin machines and all. And it was nice to see Ruud ter Weijden again Muhammad Ali signing autographs for Volendam girls. Right: Ruud ter Weijden Edited February 27, 2021 by ivop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Either the audio is ahead of the video or the video is slower than the audio... and it's progressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
