Icons is a documentary series that gives viewers the total run-down on the world of video games. The series provides in-depth coverage on topics ranging from behind-the-scenes looks at game developers, to profiles of industry giants and notorious figures in gaming, to a retrospective on the history of famous games.
In 1992, games like Mortal Kombat and Night Trap pushed the envelope when it came to advancing graphic and technical capabilities... and catching the attention of the federal government. Washington officials cited these two games as the most offending examples of violence and questionable material available to youngsters at the time via electronic games. As a result, Senators Joe Lieberman and Herb Kohl called on game industry officials to come up with a ratings system for all games. The industry responded with the creation of the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. Since its inception in 1994, the ESRB has been widely praised by Washington and Senator Lieberman as the most comprehensive ratings system amongst all entertainment mediums.
