Random mutterings...
I was just thinking earlier how huge the UK computer game market was in the
80s - and yet most of the titles were produced by UK people for the UK market,
and presumably never exported elsewhere. Other countries presumably followed
the same pattern - and there must be games which were huge in one country and
relatively unheard of anywhere else.
Which sort-of raised the question of whether anyone's ever tried to 'map' the
80s video game industry by popularity in each country?
Like I said, random mutterings. I'm just curious what was going on elsewhere
while us UK lot were playing Frak, Manic Miner, Repton, Monty Mole etc... :-)
