Absolutely Nostalgic

Honestly one of the most entertaining documentaries surrounding the gaming industry! Doesn’t offer much more insight than just the basics like the fall of ‘82 and societal impact.. but visually, it’s one of the most appealing from 2014! But that opening sequence with all of the clips of games set to Queen was just a great big V I B E
