The Netflix show is something I haven't checked out yet, but I know what you mean about the title - between that and the generic arcade 8-bit aesthetic I did roll my eyes a bit. I know this sort of stuff is made for a general audience, but stillOh we are soul sisters, I just watched Ep 1 last night, it’s quite well put together, I guess it might be the same people who did The Toys That Made Us etc? It’s very Netflix Doc
The title is rotted though, did they want to finish the design meeting before lunch? You might as well have called it Power Up
btw i love the videos by Jeremy Parrish, a deep dive into the old days of Nintendo gaming, reviewing each game in release order. Sounds awful and ten-a-penny but they are well researched and he’s not a gobby prick <3
Jeremy Parish is great! I enjoy his YouTube videos, as well as his podcast Retronauts - though I do have to search for episodes about stuff I'm more interested in, as most of the episodes are quite long and I usually need an existing interest to get through a whole one (though I always appreciate how in depth they go).
I thought this was a good idea for a new topic, as there's a lot of this sort of content out there these days.
