And our favourite company is mentioned :)
(I can't follow the whole talk myself as I don't have speakers
connected to my computer, can someone tell me the gist of what he
said? )
Well, loosely paraphrased:
We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out
ZX Spectrum, 81, which was known as the Timex over in the US
Jet Set Willy, Sabre Wulf, Lords of Midnight, Underwurlde, Dark Star Trans Am Ant Attack, and of course Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Which was called Hero Turtles in the UK
Hey, Hey, 16K
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for the eBay logo
Old school rampacks are much better
It made a generation who can code
A bubble before proper consoles who all know
That the games you get today
Well they might be very flash
But their ability to beat the thrill of getting through Jetpac is dependent on them forging emotional links to the player and not merely reliant on graphics and technology.
