Let's Play! - (fifth installment of Donkey Kong for the GameBoy)

Donkey Kong, a venerable classic known to many and the introduction to two very well known characters in Gaming History, Donkey Kong and Mario. As the classic gamers amongst us will likely already know, this game is only 4 screens long. Sounds a little short doesn't it? Well, I think it needs to be done anyway. I've spent years of my life practicing and perfecting these four screens and damned if I'm not going to make use of my encyclopedic knowledge of how to jump over barrels being thrown at me by a giant monkey that took my woman.

Classic TV!

A rare 1968 CBS Television Network special designed to promote the network's fall schedule. Shows promoted include: "Mayberry R.F.D.", "Lancer", "The Good Guys", "Blondie" and "Hawaii Five-O". Out of these, "Blondie" was the biggest failure (lasting 13 episodes), while "Hawaii Five-O" was the most successful (lasting 284 episodes). Please forgive the VHS-transfer. This Promo-Special is presented here for historical value.

Mediums Well Done

 
Deep Dish TV is the first national satellite network linking local access producers and programmers, independent video makers, activists, and other individuals who support the idea and reality of a progressive television network.

While commercial networks present a homogeneous and one-dimensional view of society, Deep Dish TV thrives on diversity. Instead of television that encourages passivity, deep dish distributes creative programming that educates and activates.
