This has helped me write a 1,000 word essay, the joys of being on a computer games art course is when you can actully research and play games for course work lol, but I found this quite interesting how Pac-Man was formed by a pizza lol that was funny XD
8:13 "So many of them were so bad that it just turned the public off entirely to the medium."
God, that's how I feel about video games (and movies and television) now. Even if a game is good enough to play, it's usually just a shinier version of an older "good enough to play" game. I've been gaming a lot less because the industry has gotten so stale.
it forgot to mention that mrs.packman was accually a hacked game.
forgot who they were exactly but these to guys that owned a packman cabinet in a arcade modded one of the boards and presented it to the company, i think it originally had arns and legs as well as the bow and stuff but became changed to just the same as pack man with no legs and stuff, as far as i remember the hackers didnt get sued and the company took on board there idea and mass prouduced mrs.packman.
he did not get the idea from a pizza, ive read up alot about that man. they just said that for the sake of explaining. its was off a whim, did not relate to anything
At 2:50 is my favorite song Tears for Fears-Everybody wants to rule the world- I just saw this on science channel so I came to post a comment infact I even put this song in a video called why I don't use internet explorer

Bushnell selling Atari must have been the bigest mistake in videogame history:
Bushnell sells Atari to Warner
Warner Doesn't give the game developers the credit they deserve.
Many developers leave and start Activision: a 3th party developer
Activision is succesfull
Many people see a way to make easy money
awfull games floot the industry
Consumers lost intrest
the marked crashes
