Must Watch: The History Of Video Games Song
The History of Video Games comes to us from Jonathan Mann who has written this melody that tells the story of video games including the Odyssey, Amiga and Commodore 64. Want to sing along to this Billy Joel spoof? Hit the jump for the lyrics, if you dare!
