Video Games: Behind the Fun

This fascinating history of video games starts with a trip down memory lane led by gaming expert Keith Jackson and ends with a rare look at new technologies. Move over, PlayStation and Nintendo. Before these ultra-advanced game consoles came along to captivate players old and young, there was Pong, Space Invaders and Pac Man. Included are interviews with early adopters and designers such as Ultima's Richard Garriott and Sega's Neal Robinson.
