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.

Very nice if you aren't too pick on actual color.
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Blue
Colors may vary. I really liked this, it was the perfect size and that perfect combination of soft and fluffy, but not being "too fluffy" and looking like a shaggy dog that needed a haircut. My only complaint was the color. Supposed to be blue, and I know monitors and lighting distort stuff but this was an obvious turquoise/teal. Much much greener than I was looking for. I could have made any variant of an actual blue work from powder baby to practically navy, but not this. I had to return, but other than the color, this seemed to be a very nice rug. Sad the color was so off.

Great valur
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Gray Tipped
Soft and comfortable. Quality leather nsckrd. Genuine sheepskin. No off odors. I'm skinny and not on tailbone. Hoping this helps. The grey tipped is more of a bluish gray. Pretty but not s true gray.

On the fence? This is the sheepskin to get!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
I've been reading all the reviews for sheepskins on AMZ and felt this company was the one to go for and WOW did they deliver! The sheepskin came well wrapped but not vacuum packed and is even prettier in person than the pictures. It is super soft, fluffy and dense and mine measured 26" x 40". I absolutely love the wolf tipped colors: ivory, dark grey and a slight brownish hue. There is a slight odor but I don't find it offensive. It stayed put on my leather couch and sitting on it during a Netflix movie was heavenly warm and comfortable. I did not observe any shedding. Will definitely buy another wolf tipped one, once it becomes available as it is worth the money.
