Hi,

On BBC4 (UK tv channel) last night was a program about early computer gaming in the UK, including Dungeons and Dragons, Spectrum ZX etc... up to present day.

It should be viewable for several days.

Best wishes,

To bad I can't watch these shows in germany. And Youtube gives me more and more the crap about that a video can't be shown because of laws and regulations. It is no fun anymore.

I also get a message saying it can only be played in the UK only, so don't feel bad Mike.

It was a fascinating illustrated history of computer games starting with Space Invaders. I had no idea that Grand Theft Auto came from the UK. However, watching all those animations made my eyeballs spin in opposite directions and I had to lie down for a couple of hours afterwards.
