The History of Video Games: Volume I Taito Corporation - VHS rip
Youtube Video Description:
A high-definition VHS tape rip of the first volume of Scitron & Art's "The History of Video Games" series about the arcade games of Taito. Narrated by George Nakata, this is a fairly groundbreaking piece of media—a video tape from way back in 1990 that takes the time to reflect on the history of video games and explain why these Taito creations were innovative, influence, and important. It's pretty cool to know that people cared about the medium's origins even that far back—enough to buy a video tape about it!

Please feel free to use excerpts from this for your own work. Some of these games are vanishingly rare today, and this is really clean footage of those old TTL titles! I'd appreciate a credit or link back, but you do you, ya know?
