10:10 The Worst Video Game Ever Made
Originally I was going to have you listen to a short podcast and respond to a few questions. Episode 387: “The Worst Video Game Ever” from 99% Invisible. Link to Podcast.
In this episode you will learn a little history about the video game console, Atari, and what happens when you don’t consider your primary user. However, we’ll extend and look at the origins of video games, esports and classic games like pac man and space invaders as well as a very cool game designer’s journal in the Netflix Series High Score.
