Britsoft: An Oral History ist eine kollektive Geschichte der frühen britischen Spieleindustrie. Es besteht aus Interviews mit fünfunddreißig Personen, die das moderne Videospiel geprägt haben, darunter David Braben (Elite), Peter Molyneux (Populous), Rob Hubbard (Commando) und Jeff Minter (Attack of the Mutant Camels), und dokumentiert eine lebendige Erfindungsphase in der britischen Kulturgeschichte – den Beginn einer neuen Form der Unterhaltung, die auf ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga und Atari ST, in Schlafzimmern und Wohnzimmern entstand.

Das Buch ist eine Ergänzung zum Dokumentarfilm From Bedrooms to Billions aus dem Jahr 2014 und stützt sich auf Hunderte von Stunden an Interviewmaterial, um neue, unerzählte Geschichten zu finden und eine originelle Erzählung zu gestalten. Anhand der Stimmen von Programmierern, Musikern, Journalisten und Geschäftsleuten zeichnet es die Entstehung von Spielen wie Dizzy, Elite, Paradroid und Kick Off sowie die Entstehung von Verlagen, Magazinen und Softwarehäusern nach, von Codemasters bis Zzap!64.

Britsoft: An Oral History wurde von Alex Wiltshire, dem ehemaligen Redakteur der „Videospiel-Bibel“ Edge, herausgegeben und vom Londoner Studio Julia gestaltet. Die Publikation enthält selten gezeigte Archivbilder, wie z. B. Fotos aus der damaligen Zeit und Zeitschriftenanzeigen, die die Britsoft-Szene perfekt in Szene setzen.

Interviewte Personen: Peter Molyneux, David Braben, Archer Maclean, David Darling, Jeff Minter, Charles Cecil, David Perry, Geoff Crammond, Julian Gollop, Julian Rignall, Dino Dini, Mo Warden, Rob Hubbard, Martin Kenwright, Fred Gray, Martin Galway, Mel Croucher, Mike Montgomery, Rod Cousens, Sean Cooper, Malcolm Evans, Steve Turner, Tim Tyler, Nigel Alderton, Jon Hare, Gary Penn, Eugene Evans, Oliver Frey, die Oliver-Zwillinge, Peter Stone und Richard Leinfellner, Chris Anderson, Shahid Ahmad, Andrew Braybrook, Geoff Brown.

Great price, not great quality
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Simple, straight forward all black polo. I am a size medium woman (with some room since I don't like form-fitting) and bought a men's small. Fits perfectly for my frame. Long enough to tuck in for my part-time extra weekend job uniform. Also suitable for the golf course. A little thin, and if you hold it up to light you can sort of see through it. *Not* flowy, soft and smooth fabric like a rash guard/sun shirt - more structured than that. But it's cool and does the job for the price under $10.

Great purchase

Purchased several shirts, all were great quality. You never know what you’ll get when you purchase sight unseen, these are worth it. Great value, style, and comfort. Color is exactly what you see online. True to size.
