Podcast Episode 018 - The British 8-Bit Computer Market: Software
We go at
the British 8-Bit computer market again; this time looking at the software side
of things. We go over the initial homebrew/hacker scene, and how it eventually
evolved into a publisher/distributor business. This created a unique microcosm
allowing Britain to have a different and unique game industry. However it was
all absorbed into the global gaming scene with the introduction of 16 bit
systems and outside companies were able to move in. Today some of the legacy
lives on with a few original British game developers.
