I've watched two shows on CNBC about the video game industry. The first was Game On, a segment on video game history. After that show finished, they showed Playing to Win, which covered more about modern game trends.
I'm glad they didn't just show stock footage of Doom, there was actually some good stuff in there. For instance, I've never seen the vector graphics of the original video game, Spacewar!. They even had interviews with Ralph Baer, Nolan Bushnell, and somebody else, probably. One of the things I hadn't known about was that Steve Jobs was involved in the making of Breakout, which was back in his hippy days.
Overall they presented the topics in a mostly balanced level. But why in the world though, did they decide to use Mortal Kombat music for their bumper music? On both shows? For almost every bumper?
