What a truly fascinating documentary. Really, he shows so many things in regards to the early days I'd never seen. I'd never seen the game Atari made before Pong, I'd never seen the original design drawings for the Space Invader Aliens... just brilliant stuff. And to play an original Pong machine against the creator, and a Space Invaders machine against its creator... WOW.
