Gamers might think about putting down their consoles long enough to learn the backstories of their favorite games. An eight-part series delves into the histories of favorite video games and even a few iconic board games, starting with Nintendo, which began as a maker of 19th-century Japanese playing cards. A second hour at 10/9c explores the collaboration of Electronic Arts and sports legend John Madden as they created the world’s most popular football video game. Future topics include Pac-Man, Call of Duty, Sonic the Hedgehog, World of Warcraft, Minecraft and enduring board games Monopoly and Scrabble.
Earlier in the evening, a special edition of Moonshiners (8/7c), subtitled “Murder on Thunder Road,” sends Mark, Tim and Josh onto the infamous road in Dawson County, Georgia, for a history lesson about the 1941 murder of “Lightning” Lloyd Seay, a bootlegger and pioneering stock-car racer who was shot and killed by his cousin over a few bags of sugar.
