The Dot Eaters. A dauntingly comprehensive history of video games, beginning with
proto-PONG and Spacewar!. If it's difficult to navigate through Captain O's prize matrix,
use the handy timeline/scape (the dates don't work, so don't try). It's an interesting site, for sure, but if it doesn't pique your interest maybe the
links page will,
since it's the largest I've ever seen. In just minutes I found the
First Church of Pac-Man,
Super Mario Bros fanfiction (
@), and a great
Robotron shrine. Plus,
this noise (wav).
