Like that Icon episode that talked about Atari, only this seems to be more detailed.

Thanks Luc

About 45 minutes, really 46 and some change. However the last minute half or two minutes are commercials.

Wow, that was a really good watch. Personally, I love the history of video games/pc games/computers, so I enjoyed this quite a bit. Awesome find Lucretius! :D

I saw something like this on G4 once, but this is WAY more thourough! Plus, your dad can't stop paying for the channel even though it's a measly $4.99 a month! Man, that sucked. Oh, and this should be stickified for future viewing pleasure (like the classic little Billy, the forum whore!)

EDIT: At 28:16, there's quite the interesting little prototype... anyone else see the resemblance?
