Video Game Trivia
The video game economy suffered a great depression of its own.
The video game crash of 1983 (also known as the Atari shock in Japan) was a large-scale, two-year crash of the video game industry. Too many consoles were springing up at the same time, which saturated the market. The rise of personal computers also caused a shift to buying PC’s than consoles. Overall, the gaming market suffered an almost 97% drop. However, 1985 saw the start of the second generation video game consoles, which revived the video game market.
Comic Book Trivia
The Greatest
If an alien race invades Earth and asks to fight its greatest champion, who do you pick, Muhammad Ali or Superman? This bizarre question was the basic plot for a 1978 Superman vs Muhammad Ali series. By this point, figures such as JFK and Bob Hope had already graced Superman’s pages, so it wasn’t too surprising to see a celebrity facing off with Superman. In the story, the two fight on a fictional planet where Superman doesn’t have his powers, and Superman loses. Ali allegedly only let his image be used if his fictional self discovered that Superman was Clark Kent. He probably asked that he win too.
