Videogame documentary released on Netflix yesterday.

Got an email about it today and it was the first I've heard of it but could be interesting.

Watched the first episode. A lot of it I'd seen in other docu's in the past but should be very interesting for younger gamers who nothing about this history. Will follow through on the episodes for sure, there were a few snippets in there that I certainly did not know.

I've watched the first 3 episodes so far. It's fine, nothing more. Some interesting bits, some not so interesting. Some parts needed more time dedicated to them and some less! In other words, it's a bit disjointed but worth watching.

I agree it would be more interesting to younger viewers.

There's something for everyone so far with episodes covering; the very early days of gaming, Nintendo, RPG and I'm up now as far as the Sega episode

An easy watch for an episode a night

I watched 4 episodes last night and its really good, very well made with lots of nostalgia for kids who grew up in the 80's and 90's

I'm nearly finished it. It is decent but the personal stories drag on for WAAAAAY too long, and the bits they do with these people are just not funny or entertaining. I had to skip through all of that Nintendo counsellor section as it was actively annoying me. Feel like they really breezed over the senate hearings as well.

It really is all style over substance.

Some of it was high level cringe, and not in the good sense. It was definitely one of those 'take what little you can from' series, not an easy recommend to anyone who is in any way versed in the history of video gaming.
