Discovery Channel is running a new documentary series exploring the history of video games. It's not just about the industry or technology though, it also looks at the cultural influences and impact of the games. Has anyone been watching it? I missed the first episode, but I'm watching a new one right now. I think it airs each Wednesday night.
This episode has been really interesting. It's examined the launching of Nintendo, Sega, and personal computers. They've talked about the creation of Mario and how Nintendo revived the game market. Now they're moving into Sega and the Genesis; they even just showed a couple of clips of Phantasy Star.
