The show originally aired on Tech TV a while back. It was hosted by pro skateboarder and video game personality Tony Hawk. The show covers the explosion of the gaming industry, the pioneers behind it, and even some of the controversies in gaming today. A quick overiew is done. The main lines are covered for the american market. Some nice historic video footage of the golden age of video games is shown. A must for all gaming enthousiasts who want to know a little more on the origins of their passtime.
