Are there any good videos out there on the Internets involving the process of manufacturing video games? Preferably cartridge era but CD-based games would be interesting too. I suppose that Nintendo, etc. wouldn't have been too pleased in showing to the world what their working conditions were like in those factories, but I don't recall ever seeing anything about this anywhere, not in a news story or any sort of show along the lines of Modern Marvels or whatever.

This sort of thing has interested me for a long time, ever since I saw that video segment on how crayons are made that was on Sesame Street circa 30 years ago.

For Nintendo cartridge systems, check Chris Covell's site, he translated some Japanese books which covered the manufacturing of the Famicom and Super Mario Bros. 3
