Episode notes

In this episode of Stuttering in Silence, we travel back to where it all began—the birth of video games. From the earliest computer experiments in the 1950s to the arcade boom of the 70s, we explore how simple pixelated concepts like Pong and Space Invaders laid the groundwork for an industry that would soon take over living rooms worldwide. We break down the console wars of the early 80s, the devastating video game crash of 1983, and how a little company called Nintendo swooped in to save the industry with the NES. Join us as we press "Start" on our deep dive into gaming history!
