Too bad I'm at school, so I can't check Yeller...

Thanks K3V

River Raid, Wizards of War, Fishing Derby, Berzerk, Pitfall, Air-Sea Battle, Space Cavern, etc. etc.

I fucking missed the show!
But K3V is a nice man and posted a link.
1am tonight it is !!

Wait! Aww crap, that meant this past 1am... 3pm Sunday it is for me!

Seeing Night Driver clips on the show brought back a ton of memories. The Tetris stuff was used to build to the GameBoy stuff, so it being that long was pretty fitting. The KGB stuff in there was new to me, and it was nice to hear Alexay talk about the game.

Better than I expected. The 2nd half put too much emphasis on Miyamoto and Tetris but it was all good stuff nonetheless.

No...they didn't have enough about Miyamoto.

Agreed.

It was decent. Cramming over 20 years of history into one hour can only yield so much, but I was satisfied with the end result. I thought the focus on Tetris was fine, its an important game with an interesting story behind it.

I thought Miyamoto spoke English. What bugged me more than anything was the false advertising--I didn't even get to hear him play the guitar, it was always drowned out by the narration.

Well, it wasn't false advertising, as you could hear the acoustic Mario theme, you just couldn't hear it very well, or clearly, due to the narration.

I can't wait to see this. I had someone tape it for me since I don't have the channel.

Is it safe to say it pretty much only focuses on Baer, Bushnell/Atari, Tetris and Nintendo? I wouldn't expect a short show to cover everything but it would nice to see a Sega arcade game get some respect in there.
