Game on: The Unauthorized History of Video Games.

If you get a chance to see it, it's very interesting.

If you like that kind of thing, try to find 'Triumph of the Nerds', orginally aired on PBS, or a book called 'Fire in the Valley'--I think the author is Freiberg. Great insiders views of the birth of the PC and gaming in general. It will make you sad that you weren't there, weren't a part of it. Just average Joes taking the initiative to create stuff they wanted because no major companies were doing it.

Wash [as Stegosaurus]: Yes. Yes. This is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it… "This Land."
Wash [as Allosaurus]: I think we should call it "your grave"!
