[norkusa]

The first 3 seasons are available for download on BitGamer.

[The 1 2 P]

I wish they released all of those seasons on dvd, as well as some of the other now canceled G4 shows like Filter and Arena.

[Leo_A]

Most of these are regularly available on YouTube in between removals for copyright violations, so that's one route you can take to catch a few of them.

Better than Icons

Watch 'em

I had no clue Icons had so many episodes though, I'll have to go hunting for some later.

[CRV]

The earlier episodes became Game Makers when they revamped Icons.

Meh. They botched the Atari vs. Nintendo episode, making it sound like Atari Games/Tengen and Atari Corp. were the same company.

[Kiddo]

Only archive I have is the (slightly edited) Mega Man episode from Mega Man Anniversary Collection on Gamecube. It seemed like a pretty decent documentary for people who weren't hardcore into Mega Man, but of course there were some nitpicky details to deal with.

[SaturnFan]

Argh, season 5 looks like crap. Looks like G4 ran out of ideas after season 4.

[segagamer]

I also had no idea the first 3 seasons had so many good shows...I used to watch it whenever I could when G4 was all about games. Now I don't watch it anymore...

They weren't the same?

[JSoup]

It's sad that the people holding the pens never thought to made DVD sets of their better shows.

[CRV]

They weren't the same?

Tengen was a subsidiary of Atari Games Corporation, which was formerly the coin-op division of Atari, Inc. (1972-1984) Atari Corporation (the company that put out the Lynx, Jaguar, etc.) was formerly Commodore founder Jack Tramiel's Tramel Technology, which bought the consumer division of Atari, Inc. from Warner Communications. TT was then renamed Atari Corporation.

I wish I had every episode of Cinematech so I could play it on my television nonstop. Even while I'm sleeping.

[Nintendo Gamer]

[Kevincal]

I recorded the Atari episode of Icons on VHS.

Man I almost forgot about Cinematech, that was a good show. G4 is hit or miss anymore. I do like a lot of the movies they play and I like Ninja Warrior and Banzuke. And the sexy ladies show. :P Olivia is hot too but she's also pretty annoying...

[11killer11]

Oh I love this... people actually talking about old G4/ Tech TV days or Tech TV days if you were watching since me.

I wish Portal and Arena were released on DVD.

I did hear that the maker of Portal is releasing a movie, still in production though.

[MarioMania]

I want the DVD of Season 1 - 4

Yeah I did like G4 before they merged with TechTV. I really wish I had recorded their "strategy" videos for Atari 2600 Adventure, & Haunted House. That's something you'll never see on tv again

Speaking of TechTV.. by the time they merged I had already lost interest in them. I like them better when they were ZDTV.. When they became Techtv it had gotten a little too flashy
