January bonus #3: The History of Video Games II (4K LaserDisc rip)
🕑 Added 2024-01-16 14:12:30 +0000 UTCApologies for not getting this up sooner! I lost track of time over the weekend while preparing for a trip and juggling podcast stuff. But here is last weekend's bonus upload: A rip of an hour-long LaserDisc called The History of Video Games II: Namco 1 & 2. It is... an hour of footage of Namco's arcade games. Nothing really exciting. But, I think it's pretty remarkable that someone out there in the late ’80s was banking on "the history of video games" as a concept that people would spend money on... even if it is just an overview of a dozen-plus games by Namco.
This is my first 4K upload, by the way. It's a pretty ridiculous inaugural project, if we're being honest. But it seemed like a thing to try, at least. We just upgraded to fiber internet, so it took me 22 minutes to upload this 36GB file, which means it would be almost criminal not to take advantage of it.
