Great subject but extremely rushed delivery makes it hard to digest

I've seen a ton of retro gaming and computing films in the past and grew up in the 8 bit era but this one was the hardest to watch.

The content is great, as are the cast of people involved. The trouble is the way it's been edited and crunched down to a train moving at full pelt and never slowing down.

The viewer doesn't get a chance to think or reflect and all of the interviews with industry legends have been edited so much as to remove even the slightest hint of a pause or draw of breath, leaving the viewer amp-ed up from start to finish and feeling exhausted by the end.

Bil Herd does a fantastic job of narration and his own videos on Youtube are a wealth of information so that is something.

The producers are working on a second film on Atari so I really hope they don't use the same jump cut style of editing to cram more words into less time as it really does make for a difficult watching experience.
