Flipping through the channels and saw this just a sec ago. It's a great documentary, if you've never seen it. Lots of Atari, Nintendo, and Spectrum info. Good show.

That's 5 AM EST, BTW.

 

[GDGF]

It's coming on now. THey show that Japanese Zelda commercial that you guys love, too.

 

[hobbitx]

Yeah I just set a reminder for this, G4 outta take notes from this doc.

 

[GDGF]

Damn right they could.

I made snacks! Not too often something unexpected and cool comes on this early in the AM. It's like when you turn it to The Movie Channel at 4:30 AM or so and they're playing Heavy Metal (the movie)

You two, I hate you two.

I wish I could see this program.

Yeah seriously, I wish more good stuff like this aired more often.

Tekuno you don't have the science channel in your area?

 

[TekunoRobby]

Tekuno you don't have the science channel in your area?

I'm in South Florida, subscribed to Adelphia. Just scanned all the channels and no Discovery Science although I do have regular Discovery Channel.

I would have LOVED to have seen this. I appreciate the heads up though guys, kind of you to do so.

I'm watching it now. I turned it on during the commercial before the last segment. another commercial is on now. gonna see the part of the teenage/kid millionars. very cool stuff. Nolan thinks selling Atari to Warner was the stupidest thing he ever did. man. videogame history. love it.

 

[GDGF]

No prob. You might want to check that Discovery channel of yours though, just to be safe.


They're getting ready to talk about the Darlings I believe (for those old school UK scene fans)

Nevermind, wrong set of UK kid programing brothers It's the Oliver twins.

Edit#2 here come the Darlings.

and although I dont care for most Nintendo games, I will say this, Miyamoto's childhood memories & fantasies just RULE. damn the people who say day dreamers are loosers

 

[GDGF]

Miyamoto is the man. It does my heart good to see him get his props.

I want this documentary on DVD!

 

[Spiritreaver]

Hah, wow I just came in on this in the half hour very cool. It's like all the interesting stuff of Icons.. but without all those stupid interviews (EGM? IGN? PFFT!). But I'll have to catch the next airing and see how the first half was which according to my cable is 5am, 10am, and 1pm. (It's currently 2:51 now, so figure it out).

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Ack, I missed all but the end with the tetris stuff...

There are repeats throughout the day, so i'll make sure to catch one .

 

[doncale]

what an awesome documentary. hope someone captured it, and can upload it for all
(with highspeed internet!) to download and enjoy.


















now I have a simple question......
