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.

This sunscreen body lotion is quite nice.
Style: Piña Colada
This sunscreen body lotion seems to work well. SPF 30 is the highest I could find with moisturizing capabilities. The smell is a bit overwhelming when you first put it on but it then goes away... so why the added scent. I wish it were SPF 50 and unscented. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

So refreshing, you’ll forget it’s sunscreen.
This stuff is fantastic. I love the super fine mist and how easily the pump works. It is soo refreshing and smells like fresh coconut. Ot doesn’t sting or burn my sensitive eyes, and it leaves my skin feeling revitalized and moisturized, not sticky or tacky. It feels amazing when it’s hot outside and you need a quick refresh and it won’t disturb my makeup. Coola is becoming one of my favorite sunscreen brands.

I used this on a recent cruise to the Mediterranean. A lovely spritz on a hot day really was so refreshing! I highly recommend it! And it smells so good!
