Video Games: The Movie 

"Children aren't afraid to fail" I'm having an existential crisis rn

This reminds me of when the LEGO movie was an ad. The whole movie

See, RU-vid? These are the kinds of ads I actually want, no more stuff about cars and grammar, please.

The disappointed face of my younger self thinking it was gonna be the most epic crossover in video game history just to find out its a documentary of how games are made

The only ad I’m happy to get advertised other than that Garry chalk interview

A youtube ad that's actually good? We got a rare find here. Nice work!

i saw this on netflix as a kid and was expecting a movie, i got a documentary that fr gives me emotions for no reason, this is fr one of my favorite films of all time ever

Everybody gangsta till this become unskippable

Don't ever take this down

This documentary makes me nostalgic for games I never even played. Nicely put together.

“I’m a sex machine” And it shows Leisure Suit Larry. That’s priceless.

I remember watching g this on Netflix when I was like 10 and it was a real eye opener to the potential of non fiction storytelling and video game history taken seriously. Thank you for posting this.

Still just as good as “Indie Games: The Movie”.

I actually wanted to cry at the opening. It’s just so respective to the game industry as a whole.

This documentary has the most beautiful opening music. I loved it.

this is the second time i’ve seen a movie on youtube through ads

"Video Games are here, and they are here to stay" I'm more then agree with that sentence. Thank you Nintendo for saving Video Games Industry.

This was one of the first things I ever watched on Netflix back in 2015. This documentary is one of the things that Kickstarted my intrest for retro video games

Just came here from the ad and I actually enjoyed this documentary.

I probably rewatched this movie around 50 times XD

The Intro with Queen brought tears to my eyes. The nostalgia was beautiful. I hope I never stop playing video games. 🎮 ❤️

38:32 for some reason the lines sends chills down my spine

Seeing that intro set to Don't Stop Me Now literally had me in tears the first time I saw this on Netflix when it premiered. Phenomenal piece of filmmaking right here.

Me: * Sees intro* Me: *CRYS IN NOSTALGIA*

“This, this is beautiful”

Imagine getting this as a video ad u can't skip

I was born in 1970, my first video game was Pong in '79. This is such a trip down memory lane... We've come a long way in a short time indeed.

This used to be on Netflix, though they kinda got rid of it. Still my favorite documentary

I am at a lost for words the title had my attention the intro had my curiosity the movie had my nostalgia what im saying is thank you for making this and making it free AND making it known in a form of an ad that would pop up in my recommended finally a good documentary on the topic of video games aka my life

I used to love this movie as a kid on netflix

My mom introduced me to this last year on Amazon, and I instantaneously fell in in love! Video Games are my life, and to finally find a movie completely about Video Games, I was entranced! I sat through the entire thing, just staring in awe the entire time while also getting excited whenever anything Nintendo was on screen. Not only was I able to preserve the video games of the past, but I was also able to find out how these are made and the evolution of Video Games themselves. I had found the perfect movie. Thank you, so much!

Now all we need is Internet : The movie

Weird, this movie is a lot like a documentary

This is genuinely probably one of the best movies I EVER watched as a kid.

Every once in a while this pops back up in my recommended videos and, I just have to watch it again. Truly a great documentary probably my favorite! I hope one day they make a updated version.

I remember seeing this movie/documentary back in 2015, just a year after it first came out, it's such a nostalgia trip for me seeing this around still. One of the best almost 2 hours of my life seeing this movie.

I love that "don’t stop me now" with the games on screen matches the lyrics. It’s perfect.

I don’t know why but this movie has stuck with me for like ten years (mostly the songs in it but still). Crazy how much of this movie I still remember

I grew up with the Nintendo Game & Watch as my very first gaming device and a portable one at that. It blossomed into the Nintendo NES so to me it was Nintendo instead of Atari who started me on the videogame hobby. After several iterations of the Nintendo, Playstation and Xbox (and a portable Sega Gamegear) it was the PC that saw me through my gaming years from 1996 until now. Gaming has always been seen as a childish pursuit back in the old days but now it has developed into a multi=million industry which has no age limits and can be simple as a flash game on a mobile phone to the latest and greatest in a high-end gaming PC. It is definitely one of the most enduring forms of entertainment easily eclipsing movies and music due to it being an interactive form of entertainment.

"This device is a license to print money". A sentence that perfectly describes what goes wrong in the video game industry. That was already correct back then and has led to the big bubble in the video game industry and it is still right today in mobile gaming and loot boxes as well as Content behind pay walls in paid games.

Ghengis Khan was just like me! We both couldn’t get xbox live accounts!

Netflix need to get this again, they should have a longer deal for it. Edit: Thanks for posting this you just made this documentary more popular than ever.

Our household always had all consoles. SNES and SEGA, or PS1 and N64 and now XBox Series X and PS5. And we weren't rich, but both my parents worked hard, and now I do for my children.

This movie easily could have been much, much, longer. And I still would have watched every minute of it.

Also when us nintendo fans see reggie we squee

I remember seeing this on Netflix at one point a few years ago and man that intro I saw was perfect. Dancing to it a lot as a kid. Now I listen to the song and they synced video games so well with it. This is the story of video games. This is video games the movie.

I remember watching this as a kid and thinking it was a huge crossover film but was dissapointed to see it was just a documentary. I still enjoyed it a lot

This is a great documentary! I use it each year in my classroom to help with the history of the industry, the historical quotes, focus on genres and immersion along with the different generation of the industry.

This reminded me of the toys that made us on netflix. I am guessing that since they have also done the movies that made us they will be doing the video games that made us soon enough.

I love this documentary, this and a book got me to learn and be fascinated with the history of all things video games. It may be from the Wii U, PS4, Xbox One era, but it’s always a nostalgic time to go back to in my opinion. Excellent job guys!

I'm going to need a much anticipated sequel to video game movie. What we got now for next gen is deserving for a sequel

I grew up with all these games. Thanks for a trip back to my life growing up. I remember playing Adventure Game on the Stanford mainframe, we have come a long way. I still play!

Always loved the opening titles set to Queen in this movie!

This is from 2014 and I watched it on Netflix when it first came out when I was 10. Then I bought it via Google Play around 2015 and in 2018 or so it disappeared from any digital stores. Now it resurfaces--uploaded by the studio because of some sort of copyright dispute presumably. That said, I'm so happy its here.

This documentary means so so so much to me. It introduced a 5th grade me to the concept of game design, what goes on in the industry and even Queen of all things. I watched this thinking like a lot of people here that it was gonna be some epic crossover between games but turned into a wildly interesting and entertaining documentary about the history of the games I love. Here I am now, about to go into university for game design and chasing my dreams of creating a game I hope people will enjoy for years on end. All of this and more is due to this documentary, it is a major element of what has shaped me today and I am forever grateful that it was made and shared.

The Nintendo Switch: Hi imma bout to end two companies careers lol

I was obsessed with this movie when on Netflix and I was a kid

The best part is that there are no ads

This is super fun documentary ever. As a gamer, i never been so lucky to get involved to this industry. Video Game has been changed my life forever. I also working on Indonesia Video Games News website for 4 Years. Guess Video Game will always be in my side till the day i die. I really want my kids has same experience as I am.

How'd I come across this?? Pretty cool though.

I-Im not crying from nostalgia, this is just allergies. I-I told squirtle to use water gun and he missed. It's fine. Seriously this is outstanding.

This has become my favorite documenary. This really does define the meaning of "Video Game" in our everday culture.

Finally an ad that is actually good for once

"Available for a limited time" 2021: *deleted*

I thought this was gonna be a movie, turns out it's a documentary. Even better.

For anyone curious, the song at 58:22 is "Taking Over" by 7Lions.

found this on netflix when i was like 11 maybe and it really inspired me to learn more about games now im 20 and i have become a 3D artist after 3 years of study thank you for making this

You know its gonna be a good video when the first montage is queen music

I was so excited that I was going to see a movie where video game characters meet together and have a epic battle

I love how they Show an commercial of the video game System. It makes me feel like I had the System even though I did not

I miss when this was on Netflix, I remember watching this over and over again

I gotta say, this is a GREAT documentary. It captured the feeling and talked about the right stuff. My only complaint is that there wasn't anything about the GameCube, and that there wasn't much about Mario later. But that's more personal. GREAT MOVIE, Netflix though they didn't need this movie and obviously they were wrong. I do wish this was made now, so there could be more talk about Nintendo Switch and everything else that happened later.

1958: the birth of video games 2020 THE FUTURE OF VIDEO GAMES

And this movie is responsible for me turning into a absolute video game nerd. Like for real me trying to figure out the dates of which every game came out watching videos about video games trying to play old game’s freaking out over new ones. I came to this movie thinking it was going to be like smash bros but a movie and left as a kid trying to know as much as I can about what I like to do

It all went from flying pixels on black screens to the point where we’re approaching a full-blown metaverse. All that and everything in between is glorious in its own way. Grew up in the 70s? Atari was your hero. The 80s? Nintendo really went “Oh hey there, imma bout to save this whole industry”. The 90s? Rivalries galore, and an unthinkable jump into the 3rd dimension. As for the 00s? That was me. I still miss my Wii. But I’m about ready to move on, and with the idea of a metaverse implanted in my head, I do believe there really are no limits. Others may be perturbed, but this is an era I will personally welcome with open arms. Once a gamer, always a gamer.

Mario is the best and he shall thrive past the end of time and space

Volume is way too low. Had to turn up my system quite a bit whereas most youtube videos I've had to turn it down 50%

Respect for putting Knack in the beginning

I watched this documentary when I was 15 and was fascinated by the games industry and now almost 10 years later , I'm entering my last year of uni studying games art and design , and will hopefully be getting into the industry myself soon,

I loved this documentary! It really shows how this now 90 billon dollar industry began, what it became, and what it will become. Turns out, VR is a big thing now, and the Metaverse exists. 10/10, would watch again! Still holds up even after we have a new generation of video games!

As a gamer, and upcoming game designer, I thank you! Thank you for this video! You helped to reaffirm my passion!

I remember watching this years ago and having it improve my perspective on gaming for the better, going from being a passive consumer to having the medium as a whole being an integral part of my life. I’m surprised to have seen it as an ad!

I remember my dad watching this when I was younger. Still one of the best documentaries I've seen

I absolutely adore the openings, and I love how the lyrics match what's happening on screen, much bettar than that other video game documentary.

Am I the only one here who used to play qbert, modnation racers, angry birds, super Mario 64 and undertale?

This is the most undervalued production i have ever seen and you are sharing this for free. So grateful, bests for all!

I saw this from an add and thought it was an animated movie crossover but it’s just the stori of how they were made

Am I the only one who came from an instagram ad?

Wow, way to turn something fun into a documentary

Wow I'm surprised finding this gem of a movie.

I can happy say that I belong to the first generation of video gamers and had a Magnavox Odyssey back in 1973 (Had Pong included). I am a 54 year old grandpa now and am still gaming on an Xbox one (also xbox 360, Gamecube and a PC). In the past I also owned an Atari2600, a Colecovision, Nintendo NES, SNES, Playstation 1,2 & 3, Genesis with CD add on, and a Dreamcast. Not to mention 4 PC'S. The best pc games imo were back in the 90's (golden age of pc games. Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Warcraft, Starcraft, etc.) 🎮😎.

This documentary is surprisingly well-made. You earned yourself a sub!

Fantastic doc. This is so underrated! Can't believe it was made right in my backyard! Go Dallas producers! We need more of it.

I must have watched this documentary at least 50 times when I was 7, and it still held up. Thanks for turning me into the absolute gaming nerd that I am today, both modern and retro.

I love the first background song "Can You Feel It" by The Jacksons

14:00 Hey, that handsome yellow dude looks familiar!

The don’t stop me now thing at the beginning would’ve been better if it included TF2, it’s just a fact

This is amazing! It’s great you got so many executives, presidents, game designers etc. it’s such a nostalgia walk. Keep doing great work!

I loved this documentary when I first saw it on Netflix. I then saw this on RU-vid and thought it was some bootlegger who uploaded it, but then I realized that this was uploaded by the ACTUAL FREAKING COMPANY who made it. Thanks Mediajuice for putting this documentary on RU-vid.
