I thought this a was a fabulous film, from music to story to execution in editing-

Obviously it has its cheesy moments with the cgi Tetris and 80's graphical puns on arcade games in the 80/90's, but the story sold me.

It reminded me of the Masterworks course by Aaron Sorkin when he discussed how to write "the social network"- how he found the "story". He basically goes on about finding a through line in a true story, and using it as an anchoring point to create the film. In the social networks case it was the lawsuit.

This lawsuit with Tetris rang true to me, or at least called me back to that video I watched.

I just watched "console wars" the south by south west winner (of some awards), so the Nintendo reps names I already knew.

I'd highly recommend watching that before this, to give you a bit of doc before the fic experience!

Overall though, I loved the dynamic, and it gave me a bit of condensed "Queens Gambit" vibe in the later acts.
