It's a pretty neat little TV special that Discovery aired on the early history of Video Games and it focuses heavily on Atari's early years. The facts get a bit muddled here and there (such as the idea that Atari got the rights to Space Invaders prior to the Warner deal), but all in all it isn't too bad.

Whoa, that was pretty cool, I didn't know that about the odyssey.

Any interview with Miyamoto is worth 40 minutes of time otherwise spent on something inferior (not to mention that David Crane has always been my favorite Activision programmer).

I didn't realize this was on your list of stuff from Google. My bad.
