Interested in a documentary about the games industry?

Quote: "A 90 minute feature length documentary film telling the remarkable, true story of the British Video Games Industry between 1979 - 1996 and how the creativity and vision of a relatively small number of individuals allowed the UK to play a key, pioneering role in the shaping of the billion dollar video games industry which today, dominates the modern world’s entertainment landscape."


Head over to Indiegogo to check it out!

Looks interesting. I wonder if they cover that dark period in the 80's, when Dominic Diamond convinced all our parents that videogames are as addictive as crack.
I'm sure it'll cover the Oliver twins, Braben, Matt Smith etc, should be worth a watch if it goes ahead. It's ironic though, that even though the industry has blown up, there are still people who code in their bedroom, some of them even get rich (still), it's kinda comforting to know that the compulsion to create interesting games still exists in the grey/brown world of AAA titles.
