UPDATE: up until now I only added documentaries, and not mini-series as there's lots of them and what to include or not is not always clear. I started adding mini-series though if they are published as such (so no ongoing web series, or tv shows with seasons) and received a proper release in some way or form. Examples are the documentary series from Double Fine. If you have tips, let me know.
As list of documentaries about video games and game culture: the history of video games, competitive gaming, MMORPGs, game development, fan culture, serious games, virtual worlds, but also documentaries about non-digital games like board games, card games, pinball, live-action role-playing, ARGs and so on. Listed alphabetically...
Please note…

Please note that some of these films do not have proper film posters. The poster might not have been released yet, or never will be (because the documentaries were made for tv or streaming for instance). I will try to replace placeholders as soon as a poster becomes available (should you find/have one, let me know).
(Thanks to GiantBomb's Nikral and Pixel Prospector for laying some of the groundwork for this list when I started it a few years ago)
