I've noticed that we seem to have had some nice gaming documentaries produced lately. Can you recommend some other titles like the above that are good viewing. Note: Are the above available for purchasing/downloading right now?

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary following several people as they try to break the world high score in Donkey Kong.

Talk about a niche audience. A documentary about a guy beating a high score in Donkey Kong? How do you stretch that story to something movie-length?

If you haven't seen Once Upon Atari, that's a must-buy. I just watched it again this morning, as a matter of fact.

From the trailer it would appear that they go into detail about the personalities of the competitors involved. Off course I haven't seen the movie so perhaps someone who has can comment.
