The work that Digital Eclipse is doing with these game documentary’s is not only commendable, but it’s an incredible feat of preservation, by not only teaching important aspects of gaming’s history, but passing on what it was to actually play these games.
That’s perhaps the best part of Digital Eclipse’s approach, it’s teaching game history through you actually getting to play the games.
Hopefully the future is full of many more entries in Digital Eclipse’s Gold Master Series of game documentary’s.
