Subject: Great!!! With a nostalgic feeling
This show is really perfect.
You see games which are classics now, designers you never heard of again (Brian Moriarty) & some who made later also popular games (Bruce Shelley), you see strange things like the InGolf and get a feeling of the market a long time ago.
It's like a totally different time
& worth a look!!!
