Need Archival Video Game Footage

Hey everyone,

I am looking for archival footage of early video games, arcade games, and early game companies such as Atari. Anything that is from the late 70's to 80's would be great. Please let me know if there is anything you can help with!

THANKS!

This clip of mine might be of use?: (Not genuine original footage - just a recreation I made in After Effects)

I could probably get you some Commodore 64 stuff, via emulator and screen capture, as long as the use was editorial in nature, not stock footage re-sale because of unlikely but potential copyright issues. In fact, you (or I if you want help) could try for screen capture (video and audio) from emulators of a number of old platforms and consoles. If you want help, message me.

I have an atari 800xl with a floppy drive and a few cartridges that i can get some equipment shots of.. i should be able to do screen captures as well... like sean72 said, there would be copy right issues with a lot of the gaming.. I dug it all out and will get some shot up here...

Jeremy, sorry, I have been off line for a bit. Did this get taken care of? We actually have a working Atari system I can film. My husband knows more about that 'stuff' than I do and he says it works. Just let me know because I can "film away" :)
