I played quite a lot of the Mastertronic games on my Spectrum. Most of them were brilliant, I never saw a sega master system or NES until 1990 when I saw them in comet. We used to skive school and go in there and play them , until they stopped having them turned on during the school day! I remember back in Christmas 88 getting my spectrum + 2 and being happy as a pig in shit! Mastertronic and the other £1.99 budget games were all I could afford back then , I remember getting manic miner , horris goes skiing and attic attack for £1.50 at the oxfam shop!
Interesting video! I used to buy Mastertronic games each week with my pocket money but until just now, watching your video, I just realised that the Mastertronic logo is an 'M'. I know, kinda obvious haha. Never paid too much attention to it before. Thought it was supposed to be some flat-topped pyramid like in the film Bladerunner. Well hell, you learn something everyday, even when it comes 40 years too late.
I much enjoyed your visual compilation of material essentially drawn (in some cases word for word) from my website (and your little name check of me part way through). It would be nice if you put up a link so people can read it for themselves. There are photos there of Herman and Sharam that you could use (if you choose to remake your video),
@@ArtyFishalI backed it as well. I think he'd claimed he was ill and was asking for people to review the games. He posted a few pages then disappeared. This is all I can remember so I might be wrong. There is a REAL book that reviews ALL the C64 Mastertronic games.
@@ArtyFishal It's called "The C64 Collectors Guide To Mastertronic" and is available at fusionretrobooks. I don't think full web links work here but that should be enough info 🙂
Bean looking for any videos on them old or new my local video shop sold them whot was multy vishion in halesowen long gone I had a c16 the label was pink games Kane one man and his droid prospect Pete big Mac speed king punchy kick start
Erm, that Entertainment USA 'logo' you used was from the BBC TV series of the same name, presented by the notorious convicted peadophile Jonathan King. Whoops! Otherwise a great informative vid.

I'd love to hear more about Datasoft (of "Bruce Lee", "Goonies", "Zorro", and "Black Magic" fame), if you had a chance. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll go check out the website instead.
Dude. Either you wrote the Mastertronic Wikipedia page, or you're just reading it loud.
Someone should do a book about this.... arghhhh. (I backed it)
I backed it too. Had forgotten all about it until now. Do you know what happened to the book?
