Director and founder of the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (MADE), Alex Handy has been writing about videogames and technology for 17 years, now. His work has appeared in many long dead magazines, Websites and journals.
The MADE is a 501c(3) non-profit videogame museum in the heart of downtown Oakland. The Museum hosts events, playable exhibits, and free programming classes for kids every Saturday. In 2011, the MADE inherited the GamePro collection. Since that time, the collection has grown to include over 5000 games and over 100 consoles and computers.
It's 17 years old, but GamePro TV episodes from 1996 have a lot to teach us about the cyclical nature of the videogame business, and maybe, just maybe, a little something about ourselves.
