Filmed between 2006 and 2009 and released in 2010, GET LAMP is a documentary about a very special and short-lived genre of game: The Text Adventure, where text-only presentation of worlds and invitations to be part of the story made up for a lack of graphics and visuals. Thriving wildly from the end of the 1970s to the middle of the 1980s, these games were quickly overtaken as commecial products and best-selling status to a niche, and then a hobby.

The documentary was released to generally positive reception, and thousands of copies of the physical DVDs were sold, some of which included a special GET LAMP coin that was specially numbered, totalling 4,000 coins. The last of the physical copies of GET LAMP sold out about half a decade after the initial release.

The best way to view GET LAMP in the current time is to go to the Internet Archive and download the two .ISO DVD images available at this location. These will provide the full DVD experience, including subtitles, commentary track and interativity. This costs nothing and is available with the director's full blessing.
