History of arcade games on discovey channel
fragasaurus:
I'm in Bangalore, India for work this week and on the Discovery Channel here they are advertising a show about the history and evolution of Arcade games premiering March 10th. It looks pretty cool but I can't find it in their online tv listings. I hadn't seen this before coming here so I'm wondering if they are only running it in a different market for staters.
Has anyone in the States or elsewhere seen this advertised?
HaRuMaN:
Nope but I'll definately try to find it.
Loki:
Ah.. I think I've seen this one. It was about atari and stuff.

According to the commercial, it starts with Pong, Space Invaders and moves through to Fighters and 1st person shooters and on to real advanced graphic stuff.
Ok, I just found a reference to it on the Indian Discovery Channel Website.

It's called "I, Videogame". I cannot find a reference to it on www.discovery.com but I did find a reference to it here:

In that second link, it says that I, Videogame is for worldwide release. I wonder if the discovery channel just has the release date for it later...
