A Total Cart Crash: The 1983 Video Games Crash & Could it Happen Again?
from Gaming Views Pod · host Dan and Dan
Most gamers think the video game crash of 1983 was just about a few bad titles and some bad luck. Nope! Turns out it was a perfect storm of corporate greed, overproduction, shovelware madness, and a dash of bad marketing that totally flattened the industry — and pretty much ended the North American market as we knew it.Brace yourself for a wild ride through mountains of landfill-bound Atari cartridges, a rushed ET game that developers couldn’t catch a break on.App: Gaming Views: Game TrackerCheck out our game tracking app available on IOS/Android.✅ Track upcoming game releases✅ Build a watchlist✅ Get release day remindersAndroidAppleSUPPORT THE PODIf you like what we do, you can support us over here.
