This is a small documentary film about ZX Spectrum computer. There are information like what was it look like, who created it etc.. But the important thing (for me) is the part about Matthew Smith! For who, dont know Matthew Smith; i can tell that he is a legend in gaming industry. He programmed Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy games on ZX Spectrum when he was very young. (There werent a genre called “platform game” these years, but i think he is one of the ones who created that genre..). Please watch the video for the rest of the story..

I salute you Matthew Smith!

When i watch this video, theres a detail called my attention. He is still passionate while playing his game, and his eyes are full of light of a ingenious person. He is a real so clever and wish someone knows where he is now…
