As the Summer of Games continues on FOX on Games, Week 2 tackles the machines, hardware revolutions, and near-fatal disasters that shaped the industry. We trace the quarter-munching golden age of arcades in the late '70s and '80s, the wood-paneled revolution of the Atari 2600, and the catastrophic 1983 video game crash sparked by rushed titles like E.T. We also explore how Nintendo resurrected the North American market with the NES and the famous "Seal of Quality," kicking off the legendary 16-bit console wars between Nintendo and Sega.
