Gnasher, a Pac-Man Clone for the Commodore Plus/4 Personal Computer The Dot Eaters 2021-04-08 | Gnasher, a Pac-Man Clone made by Yes! Software for the Commodore Plus/4 personal computer, has some problems, but it is a damn sight better than the disastrous monstrosity that Atari tried to pawn off as a Pac-Man adaptation on the Atari 2600 video game console.

1976 Magnavox TV With Built-In Pong Game The Dot Eaters 2021-01-29 | The introduction of this 1976 Magnavox TV with built-in Pong type game was the fruition of a dream by Ralph Baer, inventor of the first video game console, Odyssey. Odyssey was released in 1972 by Magnavox, but Baer had originally envisioned a TV set with a built-in electronic ping-pong game. He wasn't able to convince his then employer, Loral, to go with the design, and he eventually moved to military contractor Sanders, where he developed the prototype of the Odyssey, which was eventually licensed to Magnavox. When Magnavox released the 4305 TV/Video Game hybrid, demonstrated in the ad featured in this video, it was the realization of Baer's original vision... to make a TV that viewers didn't just sit passively and stare at.... they actually played it!You can check out my deep dive into the development of the Odyssey video game console at The Dot Eaters: Video Game History 101:thedoteaters.com/?bitstory=bitstory-article-1/odyssey
1987 TV Commercial Comparing the Atari XE System to the NES The Dot Eaters 2021-01-26 | In this TV commercial comparing the Atari XE System to the NES, we get a look at Atari's attempt to follow in the footsteps of Nintendo's console with a "new" system.

Ad for Mr. Turtle Wading Pool, by Coleco (1980) The Dot Eaters 2021-01-07 | Before Coleco made the ColecoVision (and the ugly spud Cabbage Patch Kids), they went hard into injection molding and swimming pools.
