A Brief History of Video Games

[Derri]

Hey,

I watched this video by XboxAhoy it's around 20 minutes long and it gives people a really insightful look into the history of video games.

I thought I'd post it up here because it is a very well made video.

Can not watch that video right now but it seems like it might be kind of interesting seeing a history of gaming and I hope the video is done well. Though just thinking about this video reminds me of the Game Theory about how gaming documents history or is connected together to form a history.

Just finished it. It was a great watch, there's some stuff skimmed over like the NES' role in pulling the North American market out of the '83 crash, the significance of the SNES and N64 controller, and Sony's EverQuest coming before WoW on the MMORPG front. I did like the mention of Sid Meier's games--it was just Civilization and not Pirates! and Colonization, but it was a mention.
