Britsoft: An Oral History ist eine kollektive Geschichte der frühen britischen Spieleindustrie. Es besteht aus Interviews mit fünfunddreißig Personen, die das moderne Videospiel geprägt haben, darunter David Braben (Elite), Peter Molyneux (Populous), Rob Hubbard (Commando) und Jeff Minter (Attack of the Mutant Camels), und dokumentiert eine lebendige Erfindungsphase in der britischen Kulturgeschichte – den Beginn einer neuen Form der Unterhaltung, die auf ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga und Atari ST, in Schlafzimmern und Wohnzimmern entstand.

Das Buch ist eine Ergänzung zum Dokumentarfilm From Bedrooms to Billions aus dem Jahr 2014 und stützt sich auf Hunderte von Stunden an Interviewmaterial, um neue, unerzählte Geschichten zu finden und eine originelle Erzählung zu gestalten. Anhand der Stimmen von Programmierern, Musikern, Journalisten und Geschäftsleuten zeichnet es die Entstehung von Spielen wie Dizzy, Elite, Paradroid und Kick Off sowie die Entstehung von Verlagen, Magazinen und Softwarehäusern nach, von Codemasters bis Zzap!64.

Britsoft: An Oral History wurde von Alex Wiltshire, dem ehemaligen Redakteur der „Videospiel-Bibel“ Edge, herausgegeben und vom Londoner Studio Julia gestaltet. Die Publikation enthält selten gezeigte Archivbilder, wie z. B. Fotos aus der damaligen Zeit und Zeitschriftenanzeigen, die die Britsoft-Szene perfekt in Szene setzen.

Interviewte Personen: Peter Molyneux, David Braben, Archer Maclean, David Darling, Jeff Minter, Charles Cecil, David Perry, Geoff Crammond, Julian Gollop, Julian Rignall, Dino Dini, Mo Warden, Rob Hubbard, Martin Kenwright, Fred Gray, Martin Galway, Mel Croucher, Mike Montgomery, Rod Cousens, Sean Cooper, Malcolm Evans, Steve Turner, Tim Tyler, Nigel Alderton, Jon Hare, Gary Penn, Eugene Evans, Oliver Frey, die Oliver-Zwillinge, Peter Stone und Richard Leinfellner, Chris Anderson, Shahid Ahmad, Andrew Braybrook, Geoff Brown.

Thin, sticky, & hi-heat tolerant!
This tape is thin and doesn’t leave imprints on heat pressed apparel! I’ve used it on coffee mugs, koozies, clothing and hats and it adhered well to all of them, didn’t leave behind sticky residue even after 3 minutes of 430’ F it works perfectly.

Perfect Heat Tape for Flawless Sublimation – No Residue, Great Hold!
Size: 20mm*33m, Color: Blue, Number of Items: 2
HTVRONT is my FAVORITE brand and always my go-to for any heat transfer projects! This heat-resistant tape is amazing for sublimation – it holds firmly in place, yet leaves no residue when removed, making it ideal for tumblers, mugs, and fabrics. The tape’s durability is impressive, even at high temperatures, so my designs stay perfectly in place. With two rolls included, it’s great value for the quality. I’m beyond happy with this tape, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to get smooth, professional results every time!

HTVRONT tape is as good if not better than the name brand, and less expensive. Will be buying again.
