'Newsfield Years' Film Released!
Please excuse the plug, there are no excuses I know as I have just registered but I am a filmaker as well as a gamer and people need to know about this film. So I am clicking submit with gritted teeth expecting a couple of annoyed people, but I am not a big commerical company and I'd like you guys to know about it.

Classic Games Crusader (www.classicgamescrusader.co.uk) proudly announce the release of ?The Newsfield Years? film for download!
?Classic Games Crusader ? The Newsfield Years?*focuses on the complete story of Newsfield Publications, the publishers behind some of the most influential group of gaming magazines in the 8 bit 80s. Featuring in-depth interviews with Roger Kean, Matthew Uffindell, Oliver Frey and Franco Frey the film focuses on the remarkable impact it had through its publications such as*Crash,*Zzap!64*and Amtix, featuring very open accounts of how they were created right through to Newsfield?s demise in the early 1990s. The film explores how they dealt with the early days of getting their magazines into the Newsagents, the ?Unclear User? legal battle, developing a comic strip, their journalists becoming celebrities, resisting incredible pressure from Games Publishers for positive reviews as they knew they could literally make or break a game?s success and the stunning artwork of Oliver Frey.
All of these stories take shape within a games industry that was quite literally shaping itself in the UK of the 1980s and early 90s. ?Classic Games Crusader ? The Newsfield Years? is a must for all those who experienced computing and gaming during that period.
