1980s Video Game Companies Factory Footage

YouTube Description:

http://www.PatrickScottPatterson.com - Purchased a huge cache of old gaming footage months back. A lot of these vids showed game companies from back in the day, all putting together the games we loved to play so much. A lot of the footage in here already appears online as part of larger vids, so in an attempt not to duplicate yet still share the footage I've put together a little video montage.

The companies that appear, in order, are...
- Midway MFG Co. (1981) - Assembling Pac-Man arcade cabinets
- Atari (1981) - Putting together a variety of classics, including Centipede
- Taito (1982) - Putting together what appears to be Alpine Ski, as well as a bench test of Wild Western
- Bally Midway (1982) - Putting together Tron with a cameo by Galaga's assembly line
- Nintendo (1989) - Howard Phillips playing Donkey Kong at Nintendo HQ, then the Super Famicom at his desk. Also a short look at one of the old game counselors.
- Nintendo Japan (1988) - Assembly line and warehouse shots from Nintendo's facilities in Japan, packaging up Super Mario Bros. 2 and Zelda II cartridges to send over to the States.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Desiree's Pizza. The Donkeykong gave free games if you fiddled with the loose panel on top.
