Intend to watch the full thing later, but I already love his style based on the opening minutes! The interviews remind me of old PBS/Nova style documentaries where so much of them was just letting people talk and tell their stories. Very cool!

I feel like that's the exact vibe they go for with these. It feels so authentic, too. VGH clearly has a love of both video game history, and that particular era of documentary programming.
