Like many of the reviewers here, I came away from this series disappointed. Obviously anyone who knows anything about videogame history was not a target audience and while it was entertaining the whole series just had a feeling of a hot mess about it. The RPG episode jumped from Sierra to Ultima to final fantasy to an obscure gender identity game, which I assume was meant to give the series a sense of emotional magnitude? To me it just felt disjointed.
Videogames are still an unappreciated medium by people who don't play them and I don't think this series will do anything to make those folks take them more seriously. Like other reviewers have suggested, there are plenty of YouTuber's out there who have chronicled games much more effectively. I recommend Chrontendo!
