And it's for that reason that Stuart Brown created five short video series about the historical development of game graphics.

The reason why Brown's work deserves appreciation is that it's not just aimed at gamer and developer of course, you will even understand easily even if you are not a fan game. The creator of the video explains clearly and can be enjoyed by ordinary people. Then Brown also discusses some lesser-known titles, which actually played a big role in visual evolution.

In the first video he focuses on basic problems, colors and pixel. Brown explains the difference between raster and vector. Then he goes on to explain the rise in popularity of the system arcade, sprite, and how home consoles managed to take over. After that he also discussed how the technology finally polygon and three-dimensional graphics are born and steal the attention of consumers.
