One on One is interesting to me as it also appears to be the first game to use “ball-top” joystick controllers. This or Taito’s Basketball were the first video rendition of the sport, although I’m not sure which one of these was first to release. One On One – By a shortlived company called PMC. You could also argue that this was the first “first-person” game. Games didn’t have the capacity for AI really so most were two player titles. QWAK! – First video arcade to use a light-gun, also was a single player game which was unusual at the time. I had always thought that Tank! used a ROM chip first, but actually Gran Trak 10 did and it was released before Tank was. Gran Trak 10 – First video driving game ever(EM games had plenty, some of which used scrolling).

UPDATE: Tabs have been updated to improve loading times. This just covers 1972 -1989, Part 2 is up now! Just a note, I just started this the other day but realized that it was going to take forever to get this all up by the 27th. Each one will be image heavy so give it time to load if you are on a slow connection. Just click on the tab for time period below to see games I have picked to highlight from that time. Because there is so much to cover (and I won’t even be scratching the surface on what came out), I am using a new feature the site is offering now, tabs. I don’t have the time to go over every thing but I hope to cover a good deal. This is a general look at the arcade industry so it won’t be all about Atari, but what I find interesting from each year, just giving the highlights, important games or weird ones. Many flyers here from The Arcade Flyer Archive. If you didn’t already, check out our recent post on the prototype arcades that Atari made over the years. I would certainly be interested in finding this information for other companies like Sega, Namco, Taito and Midway if anyone has that out there. Here’s something that I find quite interesting, Atari’s production and pricing numbers on all of their arcade machines from Pong to RUSH 2049 (actually up to Radikal Bikers as that is the last one with the numbers but a few others and 2049 are listed). What is your favorite arcade game and why? Today is Atari’s 40th Anniversary which also marks a good time to look over 40 years of arcade games in general.
