Britsoft: An Oral History by Alex Wiltshire (Hardback)

Never read, in great condition; some slight discolouration on the cover and a small dent on the back, please see pictures. Dive into the golden age of British gaming with this stunning copy of Britsoft: An Oral History. Edited by Alex Wiltshire and published by Read-Only Memory, this is widely considered the definitive book on the ZX Spectrum, C64, and Amiga era. It acts as the perfect companion piece to the documentary From Bedrooms to Billions. About the Book: This isn't a standard textbook—it's a time capsule. It features over 400 pages of unfiltered interviews and anecdotes from the pioneers who built the UK games industry. It covers everything from the early days of "bedroom coding" and cassette tapes to the rise of major studios like Rare and Psygnosis. Unique Format: The "oral history" style lets you read cover-to-cover or follow specific developers (like Peter Molyneux or Jeff Minter) through the book using a clever page-link system. Visuals: Packed with scrapbook-style photos, vintage magazine clippings, concept art, and game covers that will hit you right in the nostalgia. Quality: A heavy, premium hardback with a striking, colorful cover that looks amazing on a shelf or coffee table. Perfect For: Collectors of retro gaming memorabilia, fans of the ZX Spectrum/C64/Amiga, coding history enthusiasts, or anyone who grew up reading Crash or Zzap!64 magazines.
