#Atari Archive

[canageek]

Alright, I expect a lot of people will already know about these ones, but just in case:

Noah Gervais often does complete series retrospectives, going over ever game in a series including DLC and wired spinoffs and what they mean for the series. His latest one is a 2 hour overview of Quake from a narrative perspective (since most people talk about it from a multiplayer perspective)

He isn't mostly on YouTube (he started when having a blog with an RSS feed and a link to archive.org was totally normal.) But Chrontendo: he doesn't go into much detail on each game, but he is doing a damn fine job going into every NES and Famicom game in order of original release and showing that some things often claimed as inspiration aren't plausible even you take Japanese release order into account.

Atari Archive: A similar idea to Chrontendo but instead he does one game per episode and DEEP dives including reading developer interviews, print reviews, industry publications, sales figures, and related games on other systems.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting: Goes into weird bad games (Or as he calls it, "The good garbbo", especially ones that failed due to being far too ambitious like trying to do a first person shooter on the game boy. His latest video is a multi-hour one examining every game on the Zeebo.

(Edited to fix the links and add more:)

He doesn't post anymore, but Errant Signal is damn good. He is more on the game theory, literary/game mechanics side of things, but if you like the above links, he is very good. Also, he has been making videos forever, and has less then 200K subscribers, which really sucks.

If you want more DEEP dives on the first women in video games, or the influences of Metroid, can I offer you Critical Kate ?

RetroAhoy does cool stuff with lovely illustrations, going into the history of things from X-Com to music trackers, to various firearms and why those specific models show up in video games so often.

Dark Lore Dash does lore dives and lore lets plays of darker games: Mostly the Diablo series, but also some Star Wars games and Oblivion (What I watch him for). (I know, you are saying Oblivion isn't dark, but there is plenty of necrophilia and cannibalism in it. I mean, it isn't dark vs Diablo, but still)

Ok, need to get on a plane. Again, if you want more, let me know.

my favorite genre of youtube video by far

Timelost (Book, Kris Austen Andrews, Adrian Keith Andrews Sr. & Joseph C. Giarratano, 1983/1984)

You can read this sci-fi graphic novel, which includes a BASIC program listing for six games, one for each chapter, here.

You can use the programs with this in-browser C64 emulator. Read the introduction first to understand the shorthand used.
