The Computer Chronicles ran from 1981-2002. It was a great series which documented the rise of the personal computer from its infancy to it its ubiquity. The series was created in the Fall of 1981, by Stewart Cheifet, then the station manager of the College of San Mateo’s KCSM-TV. It was initially broadcast as a local weekly series. In this episode, Activision’s David Crane gives a demo of Ghostbusters’ video game for the Commodore 64 during the episode which aired on January 21, 1985.

Wow! The guy at the end pretty much predicts where games would eventually go in terms of “novelization” and stories.
The host looks like Kevin Spacey!

Thanks for posting the clip. I used to watch “Computer Chronicles” all the time. A real old school computer TV show. (I also happen to live in San Mateo, where the show was produced.)
