Gary Full Member Offline Posts: 147 Southern California Gender:	Game On: The History of Video Games on CNBC 16. Nov 2006 at 03:19 CNBC is running a very cool show, the history of video games. It is on tonight and re run in a couple of nights. Here is a link to Joystiq which had a small article about it and times to tape it. Something I will definitely put onto DVD! http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/09/tivo-alert-history-of-video-games-on-cnbc/

Seems like that would be a pretty big one to mention for gaming "history". Ah well, it was still pretty decent. -Dain

I didn't really like it. They rushed A LOT of things. They completely skipped over the Master System, barely even talked about the SNES, and completely failed to mention the N64. I thought the first half of the documentary was very well done, but everything from 1985 and on was rushed.

Also as Dain already stated they definitely should have talked about the Nintendo/Tengen lawsuits and the NES lockout chip.

But you gotta realize there is so much to cover, You could make a whole series about it (hey that would be a good idea ) There was only so much time for it. I would watch a series about it.
