A great rundown of how we got from mono pixels to modern cinematic 3D:

I was there for most of it: it's great to see how far we've come, but also lovely to see some of those old classics again :-)

I was a saleman video game from 82 to 95. I remember to have played them to convince the clients to buy these games.
What a good time, thanks Gambit :D .

Really enjoyed watching this...
My earliest personal experiences came from the early arcade games, such as space invaders et al (Phoenix was my favourite), the atari 2600, and the early 8-bit computers.

Watching it also brought back a fond memory from childhood of being on holiday, and the hotel having a tabletop version of Galaxian that i thought was the greatest thing ever invented. Wonderful times!
