Potter's double-edged ironies did not spare the gamesman himself (he slyly named one prominent protagonist 'Bzo, U., holder (1947) Yugo-Slav Gamesmanship Championship',Potter, p. 123 for example). Potter acknowledged repeatedly that 'the way of the gamesman is hard, his training strict, his progress slow, his disappointments many', and recognised that as a result 'the assiduous student of gamesmanship has little time for the minutiae of the game itself - little opportunity for learning how to play the shots, for instance'.Potter, p.

Originally known as 'The Gamesman' (not to be confused with the New Zealand retailer of the same name), The Gamesmen began when founder Angelo Cusumano started selling video games at local markets around Sydney, Australia, and eventually at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Its first retail store was located on Bonds Road, Riverwood before moving to its current location on Forest Road in Penshurst, New South Wales. In 1990, the Gamesmen started producing physical catalogues for mail order customers, and in 2017 published a digital archive on their website of all their old catalogues. Its founder, Angelo Cusumano Sr., died after being shot during a robbery attempt at the store on 21 December 1996.

In Season 3, Francis Byte is an avid videogame player who is especially engrossed into gaining the high score on "Zellman Command" at the local arcade. However, when the Gamesman sends a hypnotic signal that entrances over 300,000 people in the city (with the exception of Francis' girlfriend Louise, Spider-Man and Firestar), the signal does not affect Francis' mind, which is distracted from entrancement by Louise and the game; after Louise walks away after having her pleas being shrugged off by Francis, he (unbeknownst to any others) plays the arcade machine so hard that it and other arcade machines (most of which are emitting the hypnotic waves) explode. The explosion causes Francis to be turned into Videoman. Finding out that he can turn into his new alter-ego at will, Videoman, however, is completely inexperienced with his handling of such powerful abilities; he tries to help the trio (which has awakened Iceman from his trance) against a hypnotized mob, but they repel his offers due to his inexperience.
