My game history series Design Icons returns, with a look at the rise and fall of the British Bedroom Coder -https://youtu.be/n79SYpEVMgM
To make this video I read about 5 years worth of old game magazines. I found some fun stuff along the way - like this report on some upstart American company called, uhm, Electronic Arts? Doubt they’ll stick around…pic.twitter.com/AkUpN84ZFd
Here’s a fun one: a full page ad from TSR to say “hey guys, can you, like, stop ripping off Dungeons & Dragons please? It is a trademark, you know”pic.twitter.com/tG2PQKP1nK
A report on the lack of female gamers. “Women have got to design the games themselves, after all they know what they like”. Ah women, those strange, alien creatures.pic.twitter.com/nhheIEUPzb
And finally, a super early Game & Watch advert - distributed by CGL and no mention of Nintendo.pic.twitter.com/CXCKpChklE
Wow, I had no idea Britain had this kind of grassroots computer game development era! Thanks for bringing this to light. Guess I've got some new games to look at.
Yes. The commercialization and sausage machine-ization of the whole concept of computer games was a massive disappointment.pic.twitter.com/kTv60cUcEs
Gosh I love every piece of footage and information about that era. Wish I'd be born 10yrs sooner. thx!
Great stuff. Fondly remember Repton had a level and character designer which I think was a first. Elite blew my mind though
i loved the video
