Thanks so much for rekindling my love for my first computer. I'd forgotten about it when it was traded in for an Amiga. I fired up an emulator and played thro the wall. Suddenly I was 15 again but not hogging my parents only TV! I've enjoyed every episode and look forward to future ones.

Great report-video ! decades ago i went also to this kind of event(s) at Hammersmith in Londen, Sir Clive was also there, still have some analog pictures from that, on a smaller event, i even shake Sir Clive's hand, and he signed a book about the history of his company for me, i have some found memories from that time, the special hardware for the ZX Spectrum was not cheap, so mostly bought the software or the public domain software, and also later for my Amiga, so Sir Clive gave a lot of people fun, and an easy way to start in computing, and still does that even now, after his death. Thankyou for this video Paul, keeping the memories alive !

I'm a non-regular lurker here and I joined late but I just thought I'd say that I love that this show is around, and thank you so much for making it and sharing, it's very much appreciated. It kind of reminds me of the times when The Sky at Night with Sir Patrick was airing.. it gives me the same kind of feeling. :) I'm looking forward to going through every single episode in series one day as I rediscover these best times of my life more and more as I get older. Thanks again. :)

I went to the 1987 pcw show, first time I had been to London. Highlights included the hydraulic flight sim on the Microprose stand, seeing the Archimedes' for the first time (it digitised you and threw up a distorted view on a monitor), spending too much time in the Sega booth playing a 3d missile command type game with 3d glasses and light gun and chatting to Alan Sugar who was milling about near the Amstrad stand. There were a gaggle of very scantily clad young ladies on the Domark stand promoting something, which was nice to my teenage eyes. Still got loads of merch from the show in the loft somewhere.

Hello! Microprose had a simulator in 1988 at Earl's Court. Did you go to more than one show? 1988 also featured a Domark london bus driven by a Spitting Image puppet of Rambo.

@@Dolphination hmm, Im pretty sure it was 1987 but could well be misremembering. The master system had just been released and there was a booth advertising us golds masters of the universe film tie in with a guy dressed as he-man and trailers for the upcoming film playing on big screens. The film and game were both released in 1987 iirc. I bought issue 1 of the games machine at the show which is dated October/November 1987 and the show was in September so that ties with it being 1987. The simulator was an egg shaped thing on hydraulics, maybe Microprose took it to the show in both 87 and 88.

"Baby Death Overload" is surely the greatest band name ever, and I'm officially requisitioning it. And as for the 1986 PCW show... All those games companies, faded away. It's worth visiting the former addresses of Electric Dreams, Gargoyle and so on, just to see how few traces they have left behind. If it weren't for the merch and the swag and the games themselves, we'd never have know they had been there at all.

My favourite game on the spectrum was from Fantasy Software called the pyramid, it was hard work avoiding the aliens (especially at the lower levels. I completed it quite a few times, I even got a prize from Fantasy. I think you should ask someone you know to do a homebrew of this classic & send me a link so I can use an emulator, thanks Paul & keep up the good work

The Indiana Jones-game of 1989 seems to be a port of the Amiga version. Its gameplay can be watched in a KZbin-video called "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Amiga arcade Walkthrough" (gameplay starts at 01:52 there). Kind of interesting. Seems to have been a cross between "Barbarian" by Psygnosis (one of my favourite games on the Amiga) and "Rick Dangerous". Wood-, stone- and metal-surfaces looked really good on the Amiga. I didn't have that Indy Arcade game back then though. Only the adventure, on a PC (bought it cheap in the mid-90s in a magazine with a CD). The Indy 3 adventure wasn't that great though, "Fate of Atlantis" (Indy 4) was way better. I wish, Hollywood had made "Fate of Atlantis" into a movie, instead of the two later ones we got instead.
