I've seen the show twice the past 3 years with my son. I've never been a video game enthusiast, but completely enjoyed the shows each time. It made absolutely no difference to my experience that I didn't recognize most of the games. I could tell by the audience reaction which ones were the classics! How the local orchestra & choir integrated with the canned videos, lights, graphics and action was at many times amazing.
I read your linked review and it is an accurate account of what we experienced. If what was written sounds like a good time to you, I don't think you will be disappointed.
