I'm not into gaming at all, but this channel is really interesting one because of showing how those games were actually designed.
And if speaking about games, back in the days I stumbled upon channel called Top Hat Gaming Man where I enjoyed his historical reviews of many different gaming consoles. Even though I'm not a gaming consoles fan at all I found it interesting just to watch videos about what kind of consoles ever existed and what is the history behind them.
Yeah, not really into games but digging into how they functioned and some of the interesting weird things they did to get "Features" into games I do find entertaining. Some of the in depth NES and SNES stuff is super great to watch, the lengths the programmers went to to extract every ounce of power the consoles had is quite amazing to watch.
The most recent example ive seen is the guy who got a small version of portal running on the N64, never thought I would see a N64 being able to do the portal effect completely let alone seeing pretty much every effect portal has running on that system.
