DiemetriX Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I think every Gamer should see this. It's a 45min documentary made by the discovery channel on the History of video gaming. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3637639460474263178&q=history%20of%20video%20games&pl=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellett03 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 great doc. the doc goes from pong atari tetris and even the nes. how nintendo created mario and donkeykong along with the code master. the battle nintendo had over the rights to produce tetris was huge. i did not expect to have russian KGB to be in to such matters but then again the cold war. i highly recommend that you watch this doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeee Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It was quite good. I didn't know such things about Pong, Atari or Tetris. Really informative But there are still things that were left untold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutt Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm going to watch now, I'll post thoughts after! *EDIT* Wow, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed watching that. I especially found Miyamoto discussing the inspiration behind Zelda to be fascinating. Excellent video, it was great watching more in-depth information on key figures in the gaming industry, that I have heard mentioned many times before. The ad that played afterwards, is there anywhere online that I can watch those shows aswell, or has anyone seen those too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
