Summary

We're taking a trip down memory lane for the next few weeks, so far back in this case that we have no memories of this particular part of the lane. Tommy, Ben and Adam go through the early days of video games up until the mid-1980s in this first part of a multi-week special on the history of video games. Enjoy!
