RealSports Soccer 5200 by Chris Kenyon

[retrogamingloft]

RealSports Soccer (Atari 2600 Game) - Level 1 Longplay (easiest) Not only is it terrible, it is also harder than you'd expect (don't get fooled by the final score). Going to upload level 2 soon, but won't bother to beat Level 3 sorry, it's a lost cause (just unplayably hard).

Two games I don't care to own: Intellivision "Sea Battle" (because I don't have an INTV) and Atari 7800 "RealSports Baseball" (because I don't do sports games, and Atari put out "Pete Rose Baseball" also so the game was already done once).

Mattel's Intellivision, released in 1979, holds a significant place in video game history, particularly for being the first console to secure major sports franchises, which had a profound impact on its success and the gaming industry at large.

The Intellivision was developed as a direct competitor to the Atari 2600, which dominated the market at the time. Mattel Electronics, a division of the toy giant Mattel, sought to differentiate the Intellivision by offering more advanced graphics and sound capabilities. One of their key strategies was to appeal to sports enthusiasts by offering more realistic and licensed sports games.

One of the most innovative moves by Mattel was to secure licenses from major sports leagues and associations, a first in the video game industry. These licenses included:

Major League Baseball (MLB)

National Football League (NFL)

National Basketball Association (NBA)

National Hockey League (NHL)

The most famous of these early titles were "Major League Baseball" (1979), "NFL Football" (1979), and "NBA Basketball" (1980). These games were marketed under the "RealSports" brand, emphasizing their authenticity and connection to real-world sports. The inclusion of official team names, logos, and the attempt to simulate real sports play was groundbreaking at the time.

The decision to focus on licensed sports games had several significant impacts:

Market Differentiation: By securing these licenses, Intellivision differentiated itself from the Atari 2600, which did not have officially licensed sports games at the time. This appealed to a new demographic of gamers—sports fans—who were drawn to the realism and authenticity that these licensed games provided.

Increased Sales: The licensed sports games were some of the best-selling titles for the Intellivision, helping the console achieve commercial success. "Major League Baseball," in particular, became the top-selling Intellivision game, showcasing the draw of licensed sports content.

Setting a Precedent: The success of Intellivision's sports games set a precedent for the industry. It demonstrated that officially licensed sports games could be a lucrative market, leading to an increased focus on sports titles by other companies in subsequent years. Atari eventually followed suit, and sports games have remained a staple of the video game industry ever since.

Enhanced Gameplay: The licensed games often featured more sophisticated gameplay compared to non-licensed counterparts. For example, "NFL Football" offered a level of strategy and play-calling that was relatively advanced for its time, moving beyond the simplistic action of other early sports games.

Long-Term Influence: The impact of Intellivision’s approach to sports games can be seen in the evolution of sports video games, leading to the eventual dominance of franchises like EA Sports' Madden NFL and FIFA, which have become some of the most successful video game franchises of all time. The strategy of securing licenses and focusing on realism laid the groundwork for these later successes.

While the Intellivision was eventually overshadowed by more advanced consoles in the early 1980s, its role in popularizing licensed sports video games remains a key part of its legacy. The console’s early adoption of licensed sports titles helped to establish the importance of realism and authenticity in sports games, a trend that continues to dominate the genre to this day.

Tenis (aka Real Sports Tennis in other regions) for Atari 2600. In 1984, the original Atari 2600 was produced and sold in Turkey by a company META A.Ş. Along with it, some games for the system were also localized for Turkish market and this is one of them. As a Turkish collector I always wanted have one of these META A.Ş. cartridges and finally got it. #tenis #tennis #meta #atari2600 #atari #sports #realsports #cartridge #retro #gaming #collection #videogame #videogames #game #games #retrogame #retrogames #retrogaming #retrooyuntopluluğu https://www.instagram.com/borntoberetro87/p/CZRdBbookPn/?utm_medium=tumblr
