I started this thread in Old Town, and have already finished it, but I'd like to see what others think of it, so here we are. Also, my OP from that first thread:
I'm already on episode 3. A lot of the stuff I already knew, but it's all presented in a very engaging and nostalgic way. Plus the interviews run the gamut from Hip Tanaka to Roberta Williams to Yoshitaka Amano to Howard Scott Warshaw (and even Lord British himself).
Plus it's pretty good about showing a lot of little-known representation in early gaming history. For instance the winner of the first ever video game championship is trans, the designer of the first cartridge based console was black, and a woman designed the layout of Nintendo Power.
