Videogame Documentary Creators Quizzed

Thanks to Gamer's Pulse for its interview discussing the making of the new game-related documentary, Video Game Invasion: The History of a Global Obsession, which airs this Sunday on the GSN channel. The documentary creators discuss their portrayal of the death of the games industry in the early '80s ("Essentially, everyone wanted in on the video game craze. Atari's success drove everyone with enough capital to mimic them and ultimately there were too many Atari clones on the market"), as well as stories they had to leave out of the 2 hour documentary for space reasons: ("When we interviewed John Romero, he told us a great story about him and John Carmack developing Commander Keen. It seems that when they decided to make a game, they didn't have their own computers; so, they 'borrowed' their workplace systems every Friday night and returned them early Monday morning so nobody would notice.")
