About the game

Gladiator is a video game released in 1977 for VideoBrain. VG90 lists it as a reference record so the title stays discoverable alongside the thousands of other releases that defined the first wave of arcade and home gaming.

The years around 1977 belonged to the first wave of arcade and home gaming, when cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. VG90 groups titles like this one by era and platform so those connections are easy to trace.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the first wave of arcade and home gaming produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.

Technical notes
