It will be a miracle if Nutting Associates Computer Space, Kee Games Tank or Exidy Death Race get any mention.....maybe Computer Space has best chance before Breakout and after Breakout is mentioned.....then on to Pac Man. Assuming Magnavox Odyssey is mentioned along with a couple other 1970s era household console systems, I wouldn't be surprised if Mattel Intellivision gets overlooked.

The only decent retrospective documentary that comes to mind was Robert Cringely's 1990s era computer documentary show: Triumph of the Nerds That was well done imo. I don't know if any documentary has ever gotten as close to the quality style that Cringely presented of the computer scene back then.
