I am really surprised that people don’t get the narrator. His style is straight, dispassionate . . . the exact (cliché) delivery one would expect in a *tech* video! Given the irreverant tone in so much of this, it’s obvious that the speaker was deliberately chosen, and probably instructed to deliver the narration exactly as it is done.Other than that – if you want to know what went wrong in Atari, and perhaps America, watch this.
This film told a great, clear, and thorough story about the history of Atari and, really, the video game industry. It is well told and includes interviews with all the important players. This documentary is particularly notable because of the interviews with people like Ralph Baer and Ray Kassar, who don’t usually appear in documentaries like this; it’s a true gem to hear their voices and get their thoughts.Others have had negative comments about the narrator — FWIW his voice/tone/pacing didn’t bother me and I didn’t even take note until after I had watched the film and read the reviews on here.
A must watch for video games enthusiast.
This documentary about the creator, designers, engineers, fathers of gaming and corporate heads of ATARI is fascinating.A lot of: he said…no, he said… I don’t recall that meeting, etc., etc.,… when it comes to the sale and billion dollar growth by one of the first Silicon Valley companies; which was taken over by a large well known corporation and run by anon-gaming east coast suit-and-tie CEO.It’s great that this doc has actual interviews with most of the people involved, not just pictures of them.Be sure to read the ‘what they did after Atari’ bios at the end.
Love that, even in the end, Atari CEO Ray Kassar still couldnt admit that firing his best developers was the reason for the fall of Atari. Big ego and clueless management will always ruin a company.
Almost 2 hours, there’s lots of info in this one. As far as the ending:(SPOILER) Ray Kassar is an ignorant jerk who ran Atari into the ground and STILL won’t admit it…He is absolutely the most annoying part of this documentary.(END SPOILER)All in all it’s a fun ride for video game fans! (Especially for those who grew up in the 70’s…) I heartily recommend it!
If you grew up with it, you knew it – Atari. This is one of the better films about it. Kudos to the team that made this!
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The interview content was fantastic and I felt the editing was very good. Along with the major figures from Atari, I was also pleasantly surprised to see interviews with some of the competitors/rivals seemlessly blended in. It really put the story into context.
Fantastic documentary, Bil Herd narrates documentaries well.
An outstanding look at the origins of and early (pre-1980) history of the video game industry with special focus on the meteoric rise and equally precipitous decline of Atari. Great interviews and a great example of how an unimaginative, rigid, corporate structure and a bean counter mentality can lead to short-sighted and destructive decisions.If you lived through the experience and played the games, it is a bitter-sweet story.
