Crash reports: "Claimed to be the first-ever British video devoted to computer games software, the video is 30 minutes long and puts together, 'a collection of the highest quality and most mind-boggling computer games, shows you how to play them and highlights their imaginative features.'
Twenty-one games are featured, with Chris Tarrant, of Tiswas, OTT and TVam fame, hosting the programme. The tape starts and ends with advertisements from some of the major companies in the business, and covers games for the Commodore 64, Oric Atmos, BBC, Atari computer and VCS, and the ZX Spectrum, which Mr Tarrant refers to rather quaintly as the 'Zed-ex.' Among the Spectrum games, well-known programmes like Valhalla, Black Crystal and Jet Set Willy are featured."
