I played through <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MakingofKarateka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakingofKarateka</span></a> &amp; I only just realized there's a TON of DLC for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Atari50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Atari50</span></a>.</p><p>This was the 1st Digital Eclipse release of these <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenX</span></a> documentaries on classic video games.

I wouldn't give those games a second look if they were new &amp; free on Steam, but the history's intoxicating.<br>Last year played <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Bioshock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bioshock</span></a>, and I'm just now starting the original <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/FFVII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FFVII</span></a>, because they were gaps in my knowledge. Fully expected both to be homework exercises, but surprised by how bloody awesome they both are.</p>
