What Gameplay: The Story of the Videogame Revolution Is About

The documentary tells the history of video games in the words of the people who built it. From Nolan Bushnell, who founded Atari, to David Crane, who wrote Pitfall, and the people running today’s large productions, those who speak trace the road from the first arcade machines to home consoles, from the crash of the eighties to a business now worth billions. The arguments over violence, addiction and whether games count as art are in the film as well. Among those speaking is Todd Howard, who has led productions such as Skyrim and Fallout. The account neither exalts the business nor belittles it; it shows in turn how a form of entertainment became an industry. Richard Goldgewicht’s ninety minute American documentary moves through archive footage and game recordings; it was completed in 2015.
