It's hard to convey how amazing it was to unexpectedly find this VCR tape in your mailbox one day with your Nintendo Power magazine.



There was no internet then. Magazines weren't coming with CD's yet. When you turned on the TV you only saw news, cartoons, movies, and old war documentaries. The only time you ever saw anything about games was in video game magazines. I did have a couple game posters in my room celebrating my niche hobby.



This video was probably the very first video game "documentary" I ever saw. It was also the second 3D game I ever saw. The very first one I experienced was Star Fox. The only 3D movie I had ever seen by that point was TRON. Toy Story didn't exist yet. Playstation didn't exist. I don't think I saw another game documentary until YouTube emerged over a decade later.



This was very strange and

VERY impressive!
