If you want to be a part of a great community that loves games just as much as you do, there's no place like Home. This week Tony sits the class down to look over one of the darkest periods in gaming history: North American video game crash of 1983. If there was ever a time when it looked like gaming was against the ropes, 1983 was the year people were looking for a TKO. Everyone from Atari, Coleco, even Quaker Oats and Purina had a hand in one of the gravest periods in gaming history, but like every great story there came a hero to save the day. Copyright Tony Spears
