RetroAhoy game mini-documentaries

I became aware of these recently and they are really fantastic to watch. They give a great overview of the history of a game and its future influence. The Doom and Quake episodes are about an hour each, with other games having shorter videos.

Channel with all the videos

Wolfenstein 3D
Doom
Quake
Galaxian
Lemmings

There is also A Brief History of Graphics which is also really good. A real nice YouTube channel in general. Check it out.

Damn you!  Half my morning got sucked away by Doom and Quake.

Edit:  Great stuff.  I've now watched all those you linked, plus a couple of others.  I watched A Brief History of Graphics before.  I think there's a thread on it somewhere.
