I saw it last night at the CHM. There was also a screening at the museum at Bletchley Park. Really entertaining, and I learned much. One interviewee explained his labor-intensive method of pirating computer games.
I've never owned a Commodore 64. I was an Atari computer fanboy back then, and I thought that the C-64 was junk in comparison. Now I see that it did have some good features, especially the sound chip.
Later, I met a guy in high school who had a C-64 and gobs of pirated games on floppies. Some memorable titles were Hover Bovver (a game about mowing lawns), Paradroid (you are a robot that takes over a space station by mind controlling other robots), and Ultima IV (I was fascinated that you could visit various towns and talk to all these characters).
In 1988, I bought an Amiga 500.
- sohkamyung 9y agoGlad you enjoyed the documentary. "Hover Bovver" was a fun game by Jeff Minter of Llamasoft: I think my favourite from him was "Revenge of the Mutant Camels". Paradroid was another classic. Another fun game for the C64 was "Impossible Mission" which can be played on line at [1].
