How it all began! :w00t:

from google video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...39460474263178

maybe someone haven't whatched it yet. (sorry if posted before, couldn't find it)

Review from joystiq.com:

Follow the continued post break to view the Discovery Channel's History of Video Games. Though a bit long at 46 minutes, the documentary does a nice job covering the games industry from Pong to Nintendo. What would you define as the most pivotal point in gaming, and are we at a crossroads with the current next-gen cycle upon us?[/b]

That's the first part of a series of 4 or 6 shows (can't remember exactly how many) But I do remember that they got better as they went on. The one which looks at Doom and "the sleazy underbelly" of gaming (for example the Columbine shooting game was really interesting.

And of course I got a huge kick out of watching interviews with Ken and Roberta Williams, even Al Lowe makes an appearance - awesome stuff

Dude oddisey was mentioned, for like 5 minutes in the show.

Al Lowe? Have to find the other shows somewhere.
