If you want to watch some awesome Let's Plays of video games, go to the
home page!
But when it comes to the history of things, I, like you, am going to check Wikipedia before I check most other places.
So, I went to
Wikipedia and discovered that this is the Internet community's stance on the history of "walkthroughs" of video games:
In video games, a walkthrough is a document or video showing a player how to win a game. Walkthroughs date from the earliest text adventures, graphic adventures, and puzzle-adventure games. They are common for role playing games and strategy games. A FAQ provides similar information, but does claim to be comprehensive. A walkthrough variation is "progressive hints." This provides a series of hints, increasingly explicit, to guide the player without completely spoiling the puzzle solving. The player has control which progressively explicit hints are revealed. Walkthroughs are free on the Internet, as opposed to the more involved strategy guides, which are professionally printed with graphics. One form of walkthrough is the humorous "Let's Play", where the player gives running (often humorous) commentary on the game, in the vein of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 is absolutely awesome, by the way. If you've never seen any of the television series before, check it out RIGHT NOW on Netflix streaming.
