I found this documentary very interesting and educational. The interviews with the videogame pioneers were the most intriguing and I think that older kids will enjoy watching the animation and graphics. As an adult who was a kid when Pacman was big, I found this a film that I could relate to. This film took me back to my Junior high and high school days. I think for Teens and Tweens, the film will keep their interest and they will enjoy seeing and learning the history of how it all started. I recommend for ages 11-18 for the educational aspects. I give this one 4 out of 5 stars. Reviewed by Denise B., KIDS FIRST! juror.

From Pong to Pac Man, Super Mario to Lara Croft, Doom, Grand Theft Auto and beyond, this film tells the remarkable story of the fastest-evolving new media of all time.
