Galway V Hubbard | C64 Retro Gaming | The Gaming Chronicles
The Commodore 64 was not only a brilliant games machine but it was also an incredible instrument thanks to it containing the SID chip. There are many great musicians for the Commodore 64 but few can deny how fantastic both Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway were during the 1980's, creating many great soundtracks between them. In this clip Martin Galway talks about when working at Ocean in 1985 he first discovered that he had some serious competition when one day a colleague gave him a cassette tape for a new game called 'Thing on a Spring'.
This clip was requested because of the recent episode of Brothers in Arms featuring Anthony and his brother Stephen where they play games from their youth and while waiting for Ikari Warriors to load they ended up talking about Martin Galway and his rivalry with Rob Hubbard and Anthony recalled a deleted clip from the movie From Bedrooms to Billions.
Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/wa5VsC-Tiic
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.

Ikari Warriors | C64 Retro Gaming | Brothers In Arms Ep 11
Brothers Stephen and Anthony play Ikari Warriors (Europe C64 Version, Elite 1988). Along the way they watch it loading for a very long time, revel in bare-chested machine gunning, reveal that the only way to pull the pin on a grenade is with your teeth, find out what an Ikari Warrior actually is, talk about Martin Galway Vs Rob Hubbard in the C64 music wars and get stuck behind a leaf before dissolving away completely.
Stephen and Anthony Caulfield were 6 and 10 years old when they got their hands on a Commodore 64, thanks to their dad briefly working for Music Sales, a company tasked with producing music software for the machine in the 1980's.
The 'Brothers in Arms' series sees Stephen and Anthony playing a collection of C64 games they (attempted) to play as kids to see if they can do any better as adults.

Nigel Alderton | Creating Chuckie Egg for the ZX Spectrum | The Rubber-Keyed Wonder Movie
Nigel Alderton created the ZX Spectrum classic game Chuckie Egg in 1983. In this clip Nigel goes into more detail into how the game came to be created as well as how he came to work with the A&F Software house that went onto release the game into retail as well as creating multiple versions for different platforms such as the BBC Micro and Dragon 32.
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, Graftgold, Equinox with Raff Cecco, Julian Gollop on Chaos and a lot more!

Christopher Curry | Sir Clive Sinclair loved to take risks | The Rubber-Keyed Wonder Movie
Before Christopher Curry co-founded Acorn Computers in the late 1970's (and in doing so became a fierce rival of Sir Clive Sinclair), he actually worked with Sir Clive for over a decade at what was called Sinclair Radionics working on some key products along the way.
In this clip Christopher talks about creating one of those products, the Sinclair Executive Calculator, an invention that brought the pocket calculator and in fact the brand 'Sinclair' to the world!
Christopher Curry was portrayed by actor MartinFreeman in the BBC4 film Micro Men which highlighted the rivalry between Sinclair Research and Acorn Computers in the early 1980's for the covetedBBC Computer contract, a battle eventually won by Acorn leading to the BBC Micro Computer, something we will cover in our new film.
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!

Dr Steve Vickers | The Sinclair ZX Spectrum needed Colour for Games! | The Rubber-Keyed Wonder Movie
Steve Vickers who co-created the ZX Spectrum Computer explains in this clip how the ZX Spectrum Computer was essentially a short (less than a year) project to upgrade Sinclair's previous computer the ZX81 and how the key to this was to allow for colour! The reason for colour was that games were now being played on the ZX81 and with a booming coin driven arcade industry going on outside, as well as colour games available on home consoles such as the Atari VCS 2600 meant any games designed for this new system (called the ZX82 initially) would need to feature colour if it was going to be a success!

Nigel Searle | Sir Clive Sinclair loved to take risks | The Rubber-Keyed Wonder Movie
Former Sinclair MD Nigel Searle gave us some wonderful background on Sir Clive Sinclair, specifically how he was just born to invent and that is primarily all he really wanted to do. He was always so excited about that 'next' idea and slightly less so once it had been designed, built and shipped. Sir Clive Sinclair also seemed to be excited by the risk of creating something, by somehow finding the money to fund it and the risk of failure that came with it. This short clip has Nigel going into more detail about that risk while also offering some wonderful insight into what working with Sir Clive Sinclair was really like.

Summer Games II | C64 Retro Gaming | Brothers In Arms Ep 7
Brothers Stephen and Anthony playthrough the C64 retro gaming classic Summer Games II (Epyx 1985). It’s a rematch following Stephen’s previous victory in Winter Games and Ant feels the need to apologies to Denmark upfront this time. Along the way they rename the C64 Mini to The Cracker Barrel, get disqualified before finishing, discuss toeing the spacebar, discover riding a bike isn’t like riding a bike, get hit in the boob, come in fencing like a wrecking ball, keep activating the virtual keyboard, PIVOT! and revel in the glory of winning before flying off on a jet pack.
Click here to see our previous battle in Winter Games: https://youtu.be/W7OR6ghTKi4
Stephen and Anthony Caulfield were 6 and 10 years old when they got their hands on a Commodore 64, thanks to their dad briefly working for Music Sales, a company tasked with producing music software for the machine in the 1980's.
The 'Brothers in Arms' series sees Stephen and Anthony playing a collection of C64 games they (attempted) to play as kids to see if they can do any better as adults.

Mercenary, Encounter & 180 | C64 Retro Gaming | Brothers In Arms Ep 6
Brothers Stephen and Anthony play two of their all time favourite games, Mercenary (Novagen 1985) and Encounter (Novagen 1984) both by Paul Woakes, then finish off with a quick game of darts classic 180 (Mastertronic 1986). Along the way they fail to avoid an inevitable crash landing, find a particularly useful piece of cheese, discuss the Mercenary Zzap 64 review and Oliver Frey cover art, take a missile to the face, remember the Not the Nine O’clock News Darts sketch and demonstrate their complete mastery of darts.
Stephen and Anthony Caulfield were 6 and 10 years old when they got their hands on a Commodore 64, thanks to their dad briefly working for Music Sales, a company tasked with producing music software for the machine in the 1980's.
