I don't understand why people didn't like this production? It's an above average production that tells about some important milestones in video game history. Especially the animations used are great.If you are a player of a certain age like me, old days can be experienced in your eyes.As a big video game fan, I give this production one point higher than usual.

There's a better history of video games on the YouTube channel Crash Course. And its actually about video games.
-
As someone who had played video games for a long time, whilst there are some segments that I wish they could have covered a bit more upon, there are some episodes that I enjoyed such as how Nintendo came in to the video game market and the impact of fighting games with Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat.

THIS IS A GREAT HISTORIC DOCUMENTARY OF THE ROOTS OF VIDEO GAMES! you dumb to rate this lower then a 80.
-
Started out with great promise and had really excellent narration and production values. The problem is that like most 'documentaries' these days, it had numerous bad historical and factual errors (what was the first graphical adventure, etc.), but it spent far too much time on people, events, and games that did not contribute nor influence gaming development in the least. They give a gay man that has no evidence of his work, no copies, never had any distribution to speak of the same amount of screen time as Roberta Williams and Richard Garriot of Ultima fame. WHAT? You spend 10 minutes on this when there were countless other developers, companies, men and women that actually shaped and influenced the development of games. Hey Hollywood - if I wanted to get preached at, I'd go to a church. At least they're open about it.

I really hope there is a second series of this. I'd love to see more on survival horror, on RPG, on Sim games and I find this whole series fascinating and really relaxing to watch.

Me surpreendeu positivamente!

I really liked this docuseries. It provides you with a historical look at gaming and if you are a gamer, I think you will find it interesting and fun.

A great watch! Watching this made me realize that, in a lot of ways, history of gaming is history of computational development. Stuffed full of people with interesting ideas and backgrounds, and who don't take themselves too seriously. Just an all-around delight! Was surprised by all the negativity -- turned out it touched some nerves with its inclusive scope; a crying shame the said nerves are so touchy, but makes sense, since we're talking about the toxic gaming community. They're missing out on all the fun this series has to offer!

A complete rubbish: instead of just worrying about the history of video games, they waste time telling the story of "strange people" and disgusting progressive guidelines. I couldn't watch more than one episode.
