‘Black Ops 4’ is the first truly new Call of Duty game since 2007. It’s refreshing.

For 11 years, Call of Duty has been a safe bet for Activision. 

It’s popular, it sells by the boatload, and it changes very little year after year. It prints money, basically. But Black Ops 4, released on Oct. 12, upends that common thinking. It’s still safe — there’s a freaking battle royale mode! — but it’s not the Call of Duty many of us know.

Think back to 2007. That’s the year Call of Duty went from cinematic first-person shooter set during World War II — like so many other popular shooters at that time — to game-changer.

The dream of a startup founder can often be summarized by the following well-intentioned, and mostly delusional, quote: “We’ll raise a few rounds and in a few years we’ll IPO on Nasdaq.”

Inside Atari’s rise and fall

sudshr47 June 21, 2018

By the first few months of 1982, it had become more common to see electronics stores, toy stores, and discount variety stops selling 2600 games. This was before Electronics Boutique, Software Etc., and later, GameStop. Mostly you bought games at stores that sold other electronic products, like Sears or Consumer Distributors. Toys ’R’ Us was a big seller of 2600 games. To buy one, you had to get a piece of paper from the Atari aisle, bring it to the cashier, pay for it, and then wait at a pickup window behind the cash register lanes.

Few memories of childhood remain as uncomplicated and joyful as the first time I played Spyro. I was nine years old. Me and my friends stayed up until 4am, huddled around the tiny CRT television and whisper-screaming expletives at the screen.
