From Bedrooms to Billions

A documentary feature film telling the story of the UK Video Games Industry from 1979 to 1996.



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.

Now, watch the trailer and the campaign explanation right here.

This campaign will only receive funds if at least $35,000 is raised by Tue Jul 17 at 11:59PM

Of course, it will include arcade footage, for example  ::) ;)  :arrow:

An awesome project! Be a part of it...and help them to finish this documentary.

This documentary is still looking for money, please help if you haven't already. It would be a shame if it didn't get made.

In the meantime they've been posting lots of outtakes, that should get you interested:
