what the music at 6:34 to 6:40?

[shakyegg]

@morgs2020 The music is from a very old mix a friend of mine did back in the mid 90's. So I can't say for sure who did the original mix. Thanks for watching.

the backround soundtrack is a ripoff of need for speed 2. the old one

not underground 2 or hotpursuit 2. just 2

[shakyegg]

Hey there it's actually not a rip off. For the documentary we received licensing approval for the use of image and sound from Electronic Arts video games. Good on your to spot that we used the sound track from Need for Speed.

Cheers

I like the soundtrack on the film. But for god sake the first video game ever made was on a mainframe computer called Space War. From then on it was Computer Space the Magnavox Odyssey then FINALLY Pong. Get your research right. God mainstream media is full of retards.

@shakyegg What does PC gaming have to do with the gamers' age? I'm almost 18 and I only play games on Nintendo consoles or Nintendo consoles emulator (rarely). A lot of people are like me. Video game consoles are not only for kids. I love Nintendo and mostly their handhelds. I liked your vid though :)

@sabawshey I agree, heavy users are the type of people who go through <2 six packs of mountain dew a week and need gaming like a junkie needs crack.
