This is a very cool video showing the creation of the Atari 2600 video game "Atlantis" by the developer IMagic. You get to see not only the face of video games in the 80's, something far unlike what we see with our games today, but also what the developers consider when designing the game, how they make sure the game is fun to play, how they market the game and create expectations, and more.

This is a highly recommended watch for anyone interested in game development or just video games in general.

I apologize for having to link you to the three parts instead of hosting them here at YouTube, by the way. On my previous account, when I uploaded these videos, I was nailed for violating the terms of service and do not wish to risk going through all that trouble again.
