"Game Changers" looks at the key moments in recent history when games went to the next level, starting with Atari's Pong in 1972 and leading to Pac Man in 1980, before the whole industry went stratospheric and a home wasn't a home without a games console.
These eight episodes, whilst taking time to acknowledge the debt to the several iconic board games, charts the developers and developments that are responsible for where we are now.
Beyond Pong, Pac Man and Atari, the series will take in EA Sports and John Madden, Activision and Call of Duty, SEGA and Sonic the Hedgehog, Blizzard and World of Warcraft and Minecraft.
Whether you consider games to be therapeutic, a brainless pastime or training for the mind, is a purely personal matter but there's no doubt that some titles have changed the way we see the world.
