24hr early access - The Rise and Fall of Britain's Bedroom Coders | Design Icons

Wow - great direction for Design Icons! Great job :)

Really interesting video. Thanks Mark!

Honestly, I thought this would be pretty boring, and only decided to watch it because I love your videos. But it turned out to be really interesting. Thank you, and well done!

Really enjoyable. Would love to see a follow up.

I recently finished Netflix' High Score. 6 or so hour-long episodes and I still feel like even all of them put together are nothing compared to a single one of your videos 👌

damn I had no idea snipperclips was made by a pair of british bedroom coders

Fantastic distillation of that whole period, I often look back at that period now and wonder what could have been. I grew up in the 80's had a spectrum and learned some code on it. But never went any further now I through a weird quirk of fate I teach Games Design to college students and I often think back to the early days of gaming, I am going to show this to my students today to give them an insight of what gaming looked like before consoles dominated. Also Mark, please tell me you have thought about doing a full feature documentary on something, I love the size of your videos because they are great to show in the classroom and use as an anchor for a lesson. But I could watch something much longer. If you ever think of kickstarting a project I would be there for it.

Eve Online was out in 1984? Unreal! :D

That Robocop song get's me every time!

Superb! There is also a documentary on the subject called "From Bedroom to Billions". I strongly recommend it if you want know more.

Thank u mark! Please consider including a link in the main text? It's a bit laborious to have to click out of the email, then click the thumbnail, then click watch later, then find that in the YouTube app. If it was just a link it'd open straight away in YT, cheers!
