The Awkward Charms of a 1984 TV Show About PC Gaming

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLpP2uh-zmE

This is an episode from Computer Chronicles, a dusty old TV show about…computers. This one is all about games, and features appearances from guys like Atari legend Chris Crawford, EA founder Trip Hawkins and even a guy from Activision.

What’s great is that, being a show that’s normally about computers anyway, it doesn’t have the same simplified (some may even argue condescending) tone you’d find in most reports from the time on a mainstream media program.
