This was considered some heady stuff back in the day. That’s Incredible! was a show that featured “incredible things:” kids who could paint pretty pictures, interesting science junk, etc. But this takes the cake. I totally remember this episode and this is probably the best example of proto-games journalism you’ll ever see. PLUS this thing lasted 9 minutes. Can you imagine nine minutes of hairy kids playing video games on TV today? Absolutely not.
