mehguy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I dunno already knew about this movie but Micro men was a movie based on the rivaly between Sinclair and Acorn computers. I watched through the whole thing, quite worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am1933 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It's already been mentioned in a few other threads on the forum, still a good watch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robc Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's a favourite. Sure it bends the truth a bit, but it's brilliant on so many levels In particular the stuff with Clive (and his volcanic, phone throwing temper), though the montage alternating between Sinclair (fussing over the Spectrum's case design) and Acorn (building the BBC Micro) has to be my favourite bit of the whole thing - even if just for the bit when the BBC staff arrive at Acorn's office, and they need to be stalled because of the prototype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
