How Were Video Games Made Back in the 80s?

May 30, 2012 by Andrew Kent

How were they made?

Have you ever wondered how those old arcade systems were put together and how those games were tested/made? Well this youtube video gives an abridged glimpse into their production. Despite the old timey sound, the music has a good beat. Watch out for around 1:30 into the video, the due testing games out has a near naked lady poster in his office. OH MAI.

It would be nice if How It’s Made would do some retro stuff like this just to show us the process of making these behemoths.
