Part 3 of Dan Cogan playing through Hitman: Blood Money! An attempt to be stealthy falls at the first hurdle as Dan can't resist strangling the first security guard he comes across while playing the 'Agent Smith' level of Hitman: Blood Money. We must issue a warning, this is the first time in over a decade Dan is playing this, so once again his rusty attempts to be stealthy soon fall into a blood thirsty 'Kill Everyone' strategy! 00:00 What the Hell!!! 00:05 Intro 01:10 Let violence commence! 03:03 Entering the facility! 04:35 Time for stealth! 05:57 The nurse! 06:38 The first target! 07:47 No trespassing fella!!! 10:58 Great a drainpipe!!! 11:16 Big mistake! 11:30 Outro

Part 2 of Dan Cogan playing through Hitman: Blood Money! This episode he plays the 'Curtains Down' level for the first time in over a decade, and his rusty attempts to be stealthy soon devolve into a blood thirsty 'Kill Everyone' strategy! 00:00 Basically you're a homicidal Maniac walking around an Opera House! 00:08 Intro 06:43 He was left in a graceful position! 08:17 This body could be a clue! 15:31 They're on to you! 16:13 A war against security guards! 21:32 Eyes on the first target! 23:15 An innocent gunned down! 25:47 2nd Target seen! 28:24 You were right to be suspicious! 29:43 A Bloodbath of innocents! 31:42 A good days work! 32:22 News Report 33:58 Outro

Dan Cogan is one of our oldest friends and Anthony went to school with him! Dan is one of those people that doesn't just play games, he masters them! Dan gets so good at a game that he doesn't stop playing it until he has unlocked everything and mastered it entirely, so there is nothing left to do with it. Dan was one of those who bothered to complete the Gnome challenge in Half Life 2! We always used to enjoy Dan coming round with a game and you could just sit back and watch it being finished from beginning to end with him pointing out many elements along the way! 'Hitman: Blood Money' was such a game that when it came out in 2006 it wasn't long before this was another mastered game for Dan. Therefore when we needed some game capturing done for a film a little while back we asked Dan to come and play through Hitman: Blood Money once again so we could record it. We wanted several of the levels captured along with a variety of different death moves and other bits along the way. The problem was that Dan was a little rusty and had forgotten quite a bit in the 15 years since he last played it! 00:00 Intro 00:25 Off we go! 01:55 Off we go again! 11:33 I'm going to hell but you're coming with me!!! 14:24 And again! 15:39 Oh not again! 28:08 Getaway! 28:52 Loose Cannon Massacres 20! 29:56 Outro

A Remastered Version of a short film covering the making of some of the music created for our 2014 documentary film 'From Bedrooms to Billions'. This movie soundtrack was recorded between February 2013 and June 2014. It features legendary Commodore 64 musicians Rob Hubbard and the late Ben Daglish working with the highly talented Writer/Producer Max Hall, guitarist Chris Garfield and Anthony Caulfield the co-director of the movie. There is a huge amount of this footage leftover from these shoots including much more of Rob and Ben so we may well release more extra material from these filming sessions in the future on this channel! Thank you to Jackie Mason and Max Hall for helping on camera duties as we were not always available! It should also be noted that our dear friend Ben Daglish sadly passed away in 2018. Ben, a wonderful musician who created many stunning soundtracks for the Commodore 64 was a constant source of support during the making of the original film and travelled with us often helping raise production funds for the film as well as promotion afterwards. RIP Ben Daglish! 00:00 Intro 00:07 Max Hall introduction with T-Shirt! 00:16 Ben Daglish composing 'Race to the Debt' 04:42 Rob Hubbard performing 'High Score theme' from the C64 'Commando' Soundtrack 08:03 Rob Hubbard performing 'Anthem For Us'. 16:54 Ben and Max defining a sound! 22:22 Rob Hubbard and Rob Hubbard developing the track 'Solitude'. 26:12 Rob Hubbard, Chris Garfield and Max Hall working on 'Before the Splash'. 29:16 Rob Hubbard and Anthony Caulfield developing 'Out to Play'. 35:26 Outro

Archer Maclean created many legendary video games over the last 30 years including Dropzone, Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker and Mercury. In this brand new clip featuring lots of never before released material Archer talks about his inspiration to create the games 'International Karate' & 'IK+' (Chop N' Drop in the US) in the mid 1980's for the Commodore 64, Atari 800, Amiga and Atari ST. This sequence was pulled from our archives and is part of a new thread we are creating called The Gaming Chronicles which will offer more in-depth insight into video games and the people behind them. 00:00 Intro 00:21 I was riding high thanks to DROPZONE 00:58 Was shown an awful ZX Spectrum Karate game 01:18 Can you copy Karate Champ? 01:49 Big fan of 'Way of the Exploding Fist! 02:13 Most of my 8-Bit work was done on an Atari 800! 03:35 What do I do next? 03:52 Activision come calling! 04:14 Trying to get 3rd man running was tough! 04:50 Easier to create on the 68000 machines! 05:11 Old school programmer graphics! 06:13 Backflip from the film 'Grease' 07:01 Jackie Chan kicks! 07:18 Chop N' Drop in the US! 07:48 Outro

Continuing on from our recent tribute to the artist Oliver Frey who recently passed away we are proud to present a Remastered Version of our short film from 2010 called 'The Newsfield Years'. This film tells the story of CRASH, ZZAP!64 and AMTIX magazine creators Newsfield Publications and how in the early 1980's the company founders Roger Kean, Oliver Frey and Franco Frey took advantage of the growing interest in home computers and games to create a series of magazines and publications that helped grow and fuel the very industry they were writing about. Many fans of these publications will recall that as well as great writing and articles each issue was adorned by incredible hand painted artwork by the late Oliver Frey! We hope you enjoy this short trip down memory lane and RIP Oliver Fey! 00:00 Intro 01:15 The motivation for CRASH Magazine 03:27 Teenage reviewers tell the truth! 08:33 Unclear User! 12:09 ZZAP! 64 is born! 14:34 The Art of Oliver Frey! 16:02 The Terminal Man 17:11 More titles needed by the end of the 1980's! 19:18 Conclusions 22:10 Outro

We have just put together some unseen footage of the wonderful Oliver Frey who so sadly passed away recently We remember when we wrote to Oli back in 2010 and first asked him if he would do some art for our new film idea (that went onto be From Bedrooms to Billions) and he agreed telling us he was honoured to be asked and we had to tell him very clearly that it was we who were honoured. Oliver went onto do several more designs for us over the years on other projects and was a total pro and always lovely to talk to! We’re sure that many of you, like us, have been deeply saddened by his untimely passing and we very much hope this clip brings a little bit of light as Oli gets to say a few words to us all once again! RIP Oliver Frey! 00:00 Oliver Frey Tribute 01:35 The importance of art to video games 02:27 Creating the artwork 03:11 Deciding the covers 03:42 Artwork popularity 04:31 Favourites covers 05:15 Gaming enthusiasm 06:08 Still an old fossil (Outtake)

Our 15 year old son Thomas Caulfield is a gifted musician, most recently playing the guitar solo on the PlayStation Revolution movie title theme for us. As we have always been N64 fans and in particular fans of the brilliant Pilot Wings game he had heard the brilliant Birdman Theme by Dan Hess many times while we played it. Recently he was asked to perform a solo piece on guitar for school so decided to devise a guitar part for the Birdman theme which he performed live recently. We were so blown away with his rendition that we asked Thomas to be our first musical performance on Cabin Fever Music. We hope you enjoy our son Thomas performing along with the brilliant Birdman theme by Dan Hess.

To coincide with the FINAL HOURS OF our Kickstarter Campaign to fund our new documentary on the Amiga 500 computer, we decided to re-edit one of our favourite trailers which was our original concept trailer for The Amiga Years movie. We have tweaked it and remastered it just for you all today! Our new documentary project that focuses on the A500 computer will not only include a great level of detail on the hardware and the engineers involved, but will also feature a great deal of info on the games and the developers, and we felt that this trailer would help get that across. This year is the 35th Anniversary of the Commodore Amiga 500 (released in 1987) and we have decided to launch a new series of documentaries called The Gaming Chronicles where we can use our fairly large archive to focus on specific subjects from within gaming or hardware history and for the first episode we have decided to focus on the Amiga 500. The A500 computer when released in 1987 went onto be the most successful of the Amiga line and played a significant role in the video games industry due to the number of fantastic games created either for it or because of it. This project will focus on why the Amiga 1000 struggled and why the Amiga 500 with it's simpler manufacturing and cheaper retail price finally saw the Amiga name really catch fire and combined with a fantastic line-up of games and other software is still so loved today, some 35 years later! This project will cover the hardware story of the Commodore Amiga 500 and the later Amiga's in the line including the CD32 as well as what actually happened to Commodore which eventually went under in 1994. As well as the main Amiga 500 Documentary we are also making 6 featurettes that dive deeper into specific Amiga subjects such as games, music, graphics and the Demo Scene. In addition if you can't wait until Christmas for your slice of Amiga entertainment then you can also pledge to receive a monthly Backer Pack download of Amiga Game Making ofs to give you a monthly Amiga nostalgia fix! We have just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to make this new project happen, if it's for your love of the Amiga or you just want to help us realise this brand new series then please do consider supporting us by visiting our Kickstarter campaign. We have some amazing perks which include having your face immortalised as a Cannon Fodder or Sensible World of Soccer character and the opportunity to talk to some of your Amiga heroes, artists, animators, musicians in some amazing online Q&A's and lots more! Please consider supporting our new Commodore Amiga project here: https://t.co/BYy7CSf6NT Music for this video is called ''Firesuite'' by the fantastic 'Doves'. ==== Share/Like/Subscribe ==== If you enjoyed this video, please consider sharing it, giving it a thumbs up and subscribing to the channel.

Don Reisinger, the Former Head of Marketing for Amiga Inc, talks about the original innovative approach behind the Amiga project, which was an attempt to totally revolutionise the market based on what was around at the time. The business machines of the early 1980's (lead by IBM and it's various clones) though leading the market didn't feature particularly impressive games, whereas the Commodore 64 though amazing for games was not exactly a business computer! The newly formed Amiga team knew that to create some for of computer that could sit in-between both markets could well corner it. This was the starting point for the Amiga Project.

Commodore Engineer Dave Haynie talks about the Amiga 500 Computer and some of the basics on how it differed from the Amiga 1000. This year is the 35th Anniversary of the Commodore Amiga 500 (released in 1987) and we have decided to launch a new series of documentaries called The Gaming Chronicles where we can use our fairly large archive to focus on specific subjects from within gaming or hardware history and for the first episode we have decided to focus on the Amiga 500.

This project will focus on why the Amiga 1000 struggled and why the Amiga 500 with it's simpler manufacturing and cheaper retail price finally saw the Amiga name really catch fire and combined with a fantastic line-up of games and other software is still so loved today, some 35 years later! This project will cover the hardware story of the Commodore Amiga 500 and the later Amiga's in the line including the CD32 as well as what actually happened to Commodore which eventually went under in 1994. As well as the main Amiga 500 Documentary we are also making 6 featurettes that dive deeper into specific Amiga subjects such as games, music, graphics and the Demo Scene. In addition if you can't wait until Christmas for your slice of Amiga entertainment then you can also pledge to receive a monthly Backer Pack download of Amiga Game Making ofs to give you a monthly Amiga nostalgia fix! We have just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to make this new project happen, if it's for your love of the Amiga or you just want to help us realise this brand new series then please do consider supporting us by visiting our Kickstarter campaign. We have some amazing perks which include having your face immortalised as a Cannon Fodder or Sensible World of Soccer character and the opportunity to talk to some of your Amiga heroes, artists, animators, musicians in some amazing online Q&A's and lots more!

This year is the 35th Anniversary of the Commodore Amiga 500 (released in 1987) and we have had quite a few fans of our movie documentary The Amiga Years asking us to do something more with the Amiga and this interest has ramped up this year especially as we're in the 35th Anniversary year! We have decided to launch a new series of documentaries called The Gaming Chronicles where we can use our fairly large archive to focus on specific subjects from within gaming or hardware history and for the first episode we have decided to focus on the Amiga 500.

Before he created the legendary game X-Com, Julian Gollop created several ZX Spectrum classic games, which includes Chaos: The Battle of Wizards in 1985 and then its follow up Lords of Chaos in 1990. In this clip Julian talks about how he developed the first game while still at university and how it ended up being one of the very first published computer games by Games Workshop. Julian then goes on to explain his work on the follow up Lords of Chaos released 5 years later in 1990. This clip is from our new documentary film celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum called 'The Rubber-Keyed Wonder: 40 Years of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum'. 2022 will mark 40 years since the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was released in April 1982! The ZX Spectrum computer went onto sell over 5 million units and was one of the most important contributions in 50 years of video game history, and for many was the most important and perhaps most loved! It wasn't just the wonderful library of computer games that sprung up because of the ZX Spectrum, but it was the chief component that kick-started the British Video Games Industry in the 1980s! With this project, we are making a standalone 80min feature film documentary plus loads of additional featurettes and game design stories that cover a huge array of subjects all to do with our mutual love for the ZX Spectrum and put it all into one celebratory, 40th anniversary package! Anyone who PRE-ORDERS our new film gets to join the production gaining IMMEDIATE ACCESS to a '1 HOUR BACKER PACK' full of clips from the upcoming film and game makings of such as Jon Ritman on Match Day 1 & 2, Steve Turner on Avalon & Astro Clone, Equinox with Raff Cecco and a lot more!
