Damn it! I remember the ads and banner ads for this show and I still missed it. When is the rerun for the first episdoe?

Secnd that, I want to see the re-run, why couldn't anyone make a post here before the show aired !! >_<

I bet they must've shown how consoles nearly died out after E.T's official Videogame released in somewhere around 1982-5.

^^ Yes they did! It was Atari's ET game that killed it for everybody then.. heh heh.. and at one point (PONG ) ATARI coudnt manufacture them enuff to keep up with the demand!

I only caught about 15 minutes of it at the end.

[greenhorn]

yup saw it.

purely by accident tho, but liked it

Apparently, there are only two reruns shown. One on the same day - thursday and the other on friday. Why couldn't they have one on the weekends like all the smart channels do?

Thanks mate reminder

 

[montylee]

pretty good show...

 

[Params7]

Watched it yesterday, it was awesome! Talked about how Nintendo (Mario+Zelda) saved gaming from going extinct, then talked about the great 3D gaming boom and adults coming into gaming because of Playstation and GTA. Show was documented by lots of video game journalists and IGN.com Vice President.

 

[arrow055]

Ya it was great.But i liked the first episode better.Upcoming episodes would be interesting.They will talk about the future of gaming!!

 

[Params7]

Yeah if anyone knows if Discovery will ever air the re-run of the first episode please do tell.

And so is this supposed to run every thursday at 10? Makes a good combination with 'A Haunting' afterwards!

 

[Ambar]

Yeah its a nice show i saw it yesterday ...they showed all about the GTA series and many more things
