mr_me Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This 1983 documentary is centred around Imagic's Atlantis game for Atari but there's lots of good stuff in it. My favourite part is when the Imagic programmers are talking about their first impressions of the Intellivoice (about the 4m mark). There's some insight in the European market. And signs of market trouble as early as summer 1982 when Imagic failed to get their games into Kmart. I remember looking forward to Imagic games but had a hard time finding theme in the stores. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'm very familiar with "All In The Game", and I agree that it's a great documentary. It's gotten a lot of discussion here on AtariAge, too; see this thread and this thread for starters. In the second thread, you'll even see some comments from the director, who was kind enough to visit AtariAge and share some interesting information about the production. I only wish there had been more like it; it's a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the period leading up to the video game crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Mueller Jr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 This video is a real treasure. I had no idea it existed… Too bad they didn't even show the Intellivision version of Atlantis. What have been interesting to see the programmer talk about that version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
