    A Joy to Watch
    This documentary is one of the best video game / old computer films I have ever seen. Very professionally filmed, with picture quality second to none. Sound is perfect, and as each person is interviewed - dialogue is seamless and creates a sense of story unmatched by any other documentary in any genre.

    If you love nostalgia in computer games, and love retro gaming as a whole this film is for you. It'll take you back to your childhood and is great for younger generations to appreciate and learn about games from the past that shaped their future.

    A joy to watch.
