Sadly enough, i missed out on the golden era of Atari, Amiga and arcades. Because i was born in the mid 80s. But little by little, i have started to experience the games that i missed out on from that era.

But there´s also a big story behind the 70s and the early 80s video games (which i missed out on). Just take the British video games industry for example. Something really big took place in the UK around 1979.

And that effected the whole video games industry as a whole. People started to develop games at home, and game retailers and video game companies started to show up all over the UK.

The Brittish video games industry has had a HUGE impact on video games and technology.

And that´s the story that Anthony and Nicola Caulfield has tried to cover in their British video game documentary “From Bedrooms to Billions” (which spans from 1979 to the present).

There´s more good news to be told though. Because i was just informed that you can actually buy “From Bedrooms to Billions” via the homepage (150 minute HD streaming/download+ 150 minute additional content) for £29,99!

About From Bedrooms to Billions:
‘From Bedrooms to Billions’ is a 150 minute feature-length documentary movie telling the remarkable, true story of the British Video Games Industry from 1979 to the present.

‘From Bedrooms to Billions’ tells the story of 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.
