OH BOY. Today for our annual fundraiser, we're sharing 2½ HOURS of footage from E3 2000!
These videos come to us from Mark Flitman, a video game producer who, at the time, was working for a small company called NuFX. Mark and his colleagues filmed just about everything on display at E3. This footage includes a look at Nintendo’s booth (featuring Banjo-Tooie and the never-released Dinosaur Planet for Nintendo 64) and the famous first trailer for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
I haven't combed through every second of this footage, but I guarantee there's some cool stuff in here we've barely seen before. Please share highlights you find!
(They filmed Kentia Hall, which is the weird side section of E3 where the booths were cheaper and the exhibitors could be kinda sketchy! Nobody films Kentia Hall!)
We're only able to preserve videos like these with your support! Our team flew out to Mark Flitman's house to digitize these and other videos, and it's not cheap! If you enjoy this video, please consider donating to our winter pledge drive! We're raising money to keep things running for another year, and we need your support to preserve more finds like this!
