Doesn't the guy at 4:20 sound like Jack Nicholson in the Shining?

Writing it in Assembly language? Ooh, boy, talk about the functions of that language with just hexadecimal numbers. But it's so hard to understand!

Trip Hawkins?
Didn't he leave EA to work on the 3DO?

im from the 70s and lived my childhood through the 80s. What really gets me is how addictive these games in the 80s were. Comparing to todays games they dont do as much for me, and their primary focus today is graphics not gameplay.
Kids of today! in 30 yrs time will look back at the games they played as a child and say wtf was i playing..Its the best we have for today and gets better in the future. MWAAAHAHAAH

This series is excellent. Only recently discovered it, as it was never exported to us in the UK. It's reasonably similar to a show which aired in the mid-80's over here called Micro Live, on the BBC. There's not much of that on YouTube, but it's worth checking out what you can find if you like these old skool computer docs. And if you promise not to laugh at our posh 80's Brit accents.

Bill budge is incredible. His pinball construction set says "1983" (15:36), and it features (amongst other things) the concept of drag'n'drop; a year before the mac was released!

If you had been there at the time you would have been amazed by such games because you would never have seen anything better. He said it was on an 8K ROM, which was actually big for the time. Most games then fit in 4K because ROM chips with more capacity than that were very expensive so this was a special game to warrant such a large programming space.
