I continue to be stunned by the production value on these vids. No wonder it takes Strafefox ~3 months to do each one.

They deserve SO many more subscribers for the amount of effort and care they put into making their content.

What an amazing video. It's basically a half-hour TV documentary. How much work went into it! I subscribed.

The video quality is good, but the issue with so many of these videos completely focus on Japan and the US and totally ignore the European microcomputer scene. The only mention I could find in this video was that the Amiga was sometimes used for graphics design.

To miss out how ubiquitous development on microcomputers in the 80s was is to miss out a huge part of 80s game development
