robbievgb Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not necessarily on YouTube but: Chasing Ghosts From Bedrooms To Billions: The Amiga Years Once Upon Atari I think rewards are shipping for this one that was Kickstarted: Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: The Fate of Atari I'm probably missing some.

Cynicaster Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 King of Kong - A Fistful of Quarters (about Donkey Kong competition, kind of infamous for how it represents events but very entertaining) Man vs. Snake (about arcade game Nibbler -- very well done) The King of Arcades The Ecstasy of Order (about competitive Tetris) The Video Craze (about arcades and arcade collectors) The Space Invaders: In Search of Lost time (another one about arcades and collectors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX2600 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Good stuff. Also RetrowareTV's the video game years is more of a series, but great fun and recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed "The Video Game Years" being re-released on the Pat the Nes Punk channel recently and went looking for comments here on AtariAge. I never saw this series before, has anyone done a comparison to see if there are any changes? The Video Game Years 1977 - Full Gaming History Documentary - YouTube I like Pat in small doses, but he and Ian are kind of the worst part of this thing. They are almost mocking the show at certain points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Yurkie Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 High Score. A documentary about the Arcade game Missile Command. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808299/ Very entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I was gonna make a thread for something like this, but did a search and found this one, so I'll just paste it here instead since it seems to ft. Any good video game documentaries out there that you’d recommend? (of course there are a few already listed above) I’ve seen the following 5, and wondering what else is worth checking out. Nintendo Quest High Score Chasing Ghosts King of Kong Console Wars Google search brought up these, but I haven’t seen them. Anything good in the list? Video Game Invasion: History of a Global Obsession The Lost Arcade Indie Game: The Movie GoldenEra Atari: Game Over And these 3, which I’m not really interested in. But if y’all say they’re good stuff, I may give them a shot. Minecraft: The Story Of Mojang All Work All Play: The Pursuit of Esports Glory Live GameChangers: Dreams of BlizzCon Anything else?

Video Game Invasion: History of a Global Obsession The Lost Arcade Indie Game: The Movie GoldenEra Atari: Game Over "Indie Game: The Movie" was very good, if it's the one I'm thinking of. I think it was the one that followed the development of Fez. Braid and its developer Jonathan Blow are also in it I think. 10 hours ago, Razzie.P said: Anything else? Bedrooms to Billions is one people seem to like. There are a couple of spin off documentaries too. There's one focused entirely on the Amiga for example. YouTube is a good for original content on this type of thing, but they tend not to be "cinematic" films (like the King of Kong, for example). But some are very well made. The Noclip channel is worth looking at and Summoning Salt if you're interested in the history of speed running. Both make feature length videos (ie. 70 minutes plus). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
