    I don't know if this is a right thread for this kind of collaboration, but here it is.

    I have an idea about video about evolution of video games and it mechanics.

    I had title "Do you remember when this was new" on my mind for a video, that showcase some game elements that are taken granted today or be even obselete.

    Below is things that i have thinking that would be in this video.

    Hope you will get an idea of what i am thinking.

    Video would contains only custom created original content for show/tell about these game elements step by step, and may by some footage or pics from games where these elements were presented.

    If and when this video is done, every one that contributed material and talent for this video can publish and monetize from it in own Youbtube channel with own tweaks like own logos etc in video.

    Also in end of the video play short cross promoting section where are our channels with annotations and shortcuts are listed.

    So quick draft of what this video might contains. It need more ideas and game elements to be added before it can be done.

    Don't know where script and material and discussions about this video can be put.

    Can MGN.TM add own custom forum to this kind of collaboration or do we need use 3rd party site to submit ideas and material related these kind of collaboration ?

    Here is some kind of draft of script for this video.


    ----------
    Text appears on screen.

    - Do you remember, when this was a new thing ??
    - You can go Right, Left
    Left
    - You see old VHS casette on desk, what you do ?
    --------
    then narrator speak, or just text appears

    - Computer text adventures like "Colossal Cave Adventure" in 1970s was created.
    ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure )

    Next steps will be like

    - Simple graphics will show when showing title of video like style of Mystery House from 1980
    ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_House (

    next steps will be like
    - 16 color graphics adventure game
    - 256 color graphics game where somebody talks with animated head and only text
    - then add voiced lines ..........................

    Here is list of added things from different games and eras that would be covered on video

    - side scroller game like commander keen styled section
    - First person shooter
    - Key cards
    - jumping and ducking.
    - strafing
    - climbing in FPS
    - Looking up and down
    - FMV
    - Cutscenes.
    .
    .
    - Virtual reality glasses


    So is this make any sense. What elements should be covered on this video and how to present them.
