Finished a 9 episode docu-series "History of Russian Computer Games". It was alright. Tons of inaccuracies & omissions. Last couple of episodes are embarrassing because the doc is state sponsored & pushes a current Rusian agenda. But it was nice to see some of the 80s & 90s devs & hear them talk. Also a pretty big public admission by the founder of Akella in regards to also owning a legendary 90s pirate publishing label.

As a kid I used to follow CaH4e3's FAMI dump page, repeatedly watch Dendy Chronicles and watch Tayle Grinder's videos on Speccy stuff a lot :)
