Here is a brand new documentary about the history of video games - looks really interesting and well done, check out the trailer:

Perturbator - 16bit Music Video

It's really trendy these days to create something new with a retro feel to it, even go as far as using the limited technologies of a bygone era, limited resolution, limiter color palette. For my eyes these kind of experiments are a treat, but guess the younger generation, who never played the Sega MegaDrive or the SNES might find these odd.
