Superb. Seeing the rows of cassettes is very nostalgic I had some of the games shown there for my rubber keyed Spectrum which my family must have got around the time of this report in 1983. The early Ultimate games were the best especially Jetpac, Cookie, Atic Atac

I'd love to know what's happened to these lad's. I hope they made it 👍

Yoooooo, the blonde curly haired kid is my dad! He just showed me this and he was absolutely stoked he got a speaking part lol. He said he was surprised Jeff, the glasses kid, didn't get a part because he was the poshest out of all of them. As an update, dad's turning 60 this year and he's not making games anymore, but he's still in the industry. I think Jeff moved to Australia a while back, but I'm not totally sure, I might be confusing him with one of my dad's brothers. I'm not sure what happened to the other guy, so I assume they lost touch. Dad always gets so excited when he sees stuff he did in the 70s and 80s online, especially videos, so I'm hoping the algorithm will dig up more of this stuff.

The game Froggy, seen in this video, is available to play at the Complete BBC Micro Games Archive.

I've still got my rubber key ZX Spectrum 48k from Easter 1984. Choices of different incompatible home computers on display in Boots and WH Smith's. The games. Your Computer magazine. Great times growing up in that boom.

Wow.... beautiful & nostalgic video .!🍀🤗🍀

I remember having an amstrad in 80's was really noisy as it loaded and had a few floppy disked games. Pac man and a few others and the screen was blocky green and black lol

Hahahahaha , hitting those keys on a BBC Micro sounded more like someone was knocking on the door!

It's amazing how many modern UK developers got their start in similar fashion.

Will never catch on

Isn't it a Nigel Searle from Sinclair at

Love the Northumberland accent. Much smarter than some of the kids today who are just users.

Remember the Pokes? Where you had to type lines and lines of code just to get one extra life on a game 🤣

0.51 Kid on the left, just about to steal as many games as he can, so he can go home and play them on his previously pilfered Sinclair spectrum.

C64 is 40 years old.

I bet the buying of computers went up when some of these young guys saw weird science.

This is like looking exactly into my own past! Fab 👍
