I think he is referring to the 1983 game industry crash. In wich many large companies fizzled out.
Basically just after the huge arcade craze, home console gaming started coming out. Wich basically killed a large part of the arcade industry. It was big for a while, but then some really crappy games started coming out and sales plummetted to like 1\5 what they had been. Everybody lost lots of money, and all the retailers avoided console gaming like the plague.
Eventually Nintendo broke through the retailer bias and revitalized the gaming industry.
