A lot of this- the marketing choices, the focus on turning game developers into rockstars, the lavish company lifestyle, the overhyping the game, etc.- reminds me of what would happen about a decade later with John Romero, Ion Storm, and Daikatana.

I never knew the Psygnosis I knew from the PS1 days went this deep. Holy crap, good job.

"at 35 he was nicknamed Granddad" kill me.

This story never gets old (despite it being 40 years ago now! 😮) The fact it was all caught by the Commercial Breaks programme just adds to the mystique. I finally managed to get myself a copy of Brataccas on the ST a few years back in great shape - the game is crap and I honestly bought it more for the story surrounding it than anything else!

I dont know what it is.. but seeing old footage of good ol blighty in the 80s just makes me smile every time.. and when its connected to computing back then.. im in fat mans heaven!!! Making games back then was so RAW and fundamental.. it was like the wild west.. this would defo be my time travel destination of voice.. possibly in clive sinclairs garage.. id sleep in one of his little cars!

As a Spanish viewer, it was nice to see Freddy Hardest picked as an example of a great game marketed under the Ocean-owned Imagine label!

Thanks for always putting out quality content. I greatly appreciate the fact you are putting documentary length videos out about subjects I would never know about being a 28 year old from the United States. I have no personal connection to the home micros, but I have grown fond of them because of your content. Keep it up and never feel that you need to rush out content. I much prefer to have 1 longer quality video, than a rushed video everyday. Hope next near is even better than this one was!

Of everything in this (great as usual) vid, the thing that provoked the strongest sense of nostalgia was the brief footage from shops of the era, where they were looking through drawers for the tape to put in the empty box each customer brought to the counter to buy. So many memories of buying tapes in the likes of John Menzies as a kid…

Lucky to only come home in bandages after crashing at the IOM TT as some riders ride their last ever races on that track. 5 riders were killed on that track when I last went there in 2016.

I'm a modern game/game engine developer and this is one of my favourite channels and always with great content, congratulations for the effort to provide us cool videos.
I can't obviously confirm if all the facts are verified or not, but these videos are basically all we have about those times.
It's sad that programmers from those times don't think about sharing their stories with us.
These videos always make us want to go back to the 80s. Those were good times. :)

I love how you do a proper job and intersperse commentary with relevant period footage. I hope you have fun making these as they give a lot of joy to those who care :)

Nostalgia Nerd is on fire recently with the breadth and depth of videos. My favourite video is still the Renault 19 one. Lots of personal memories so truly nostalgia...

This feels like the definitive story of Bandersnatch, and a great window into the early days of UK gaming. Bravo.

I remember this well. Was so excited when the print adverts for the megagames started appearing. 40 years later, a part of me still longs to play psyclapse on my c64.

Oh, yes!! And nice to see old pics of Eugene out of his lair too.

34:57 I love it how in the late 80's the equivalent of AAA releases had these incredible cover paintings by the likes of Roger Dean, while today the best AAA tends to come up with is, as Yhatzee puts it "an angry looking dude holding a gun in an irresponsible manner".
And besides the Psygnosis covers, another one I really like is the oil painted cover of Shufflepuck Cafe by Gary Ruddell. A true gem that one. And the cover painted by Derek Riggs for the (admittedly quite obscure) RPG for Macintosh computers, Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis.

New pickup line acquired "I'll bander your snatch" lmao

I remember the first time I heard about "the video games crash of 1983" and thought to myself, "What the hell are they talking about? The NES didn't even come out in the US until 1985, the same year the TANDY 1000 became a thing." Growing up in the 90's, I never really knew much of anything video game related pre-1985 aside from arcade machines. It wasn't until YouTube that I started seeing videos covering the 8-bit micro computer and Atari 2600 era of gaming. It's still bizarre to me when I learn about all this stuff that was going on back then.

Absoutely fantastic mini-documentary. I really think the British micro-computing scene was lightning in a bottle and I want to learn as much as I can about it. You should do a doc on Magnetic Scrolls!
