Pretty star-studded lineup:
DOOM - John Romero
ELITE - David Brabden
MANIAC MANSION - Ron Gilbert
MARBLE MADNESS - Mark Cerny
OUT OF THIS WORLD/ANOTHER WORLD - Eric Chahi
PAC-MAN - Toru Iwatani
PITFALL - David Crane
POPULOUS - Peter Molyneux
PRINCE OF PERSIA - Jordan Mechner
RAID ON BUNGELING BAY - Wil Wright
BEJEWELED (lol) - Jason Kapalka

These are cool, I'm mostly done with the Doom one. I've read the Doom Bible before but these alpha videos are all new to me.

I started looking at Gamasutra for the job boards the other day, they've got some too. Okamiden? http://www.gamasutra.com/view/featur...s_okamiden.php

Gamasutra has lots of great ones, they just aren't videos. It's a lot of fun reading about the parts that go wrong, like the Fallout Tactics team getting screwed over for assets and ending up with tons of weapons that are all the exact same thing.

Man, Half-Life was so good. I want to see one on that. I'm just remembering the impact Half Life had on my gaming life vs. the one Doom had.

Thanks for the link, Bacon!
