ilaskey Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Not seen this before, a Swedish computer program from the mid-late eighties call Bit for Bit. Some is on Swedish but most episodes have an English report. This one features an ST game being developed and footage from Jeff Minter's Merak project. https://archive.org/details/bit-for-bit-episode-06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Payne Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) They play a little Jean Michel Jarre so that's always a bonus. Very 80's...but very raw so that's always cool. The part where the caller (I assume) plays a game using the phone was the most annoying part of the show but I know it was innovative for the time.I was interested in the history of the game they were talking to the designers about. I found this (http://www.birdsanctuary.co.uk/bsword/m.php). The game was never released. Episode 5 has the Pixar Tiny Toy short.

ilaskey Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well done tracking that down. Pity it never came out. I did wonder as I didn't recognize it from back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
