MICRO MEN 0

Affectionately comic drama about the British home computer boom of the early 1980s.
Legendary inventor Clive Sinclair battles it out with ex-employee Chris Curry, founder of Acorn Computers, for dominance in the fledgling market.
The rivalry comes to a head when the BBC announce their Computer Literacy Project, with the stated aim of putting a micro in every school in Britain. When Acorn wins the contract, Sinclair is furious, and determines to outsell the BBC Micro with his ZX Spectrum computer.
Home computing arrives in Britain in a big way, but is the country big enough for both men?

GEEK-SPOT @ 05:16 in the background you can see a man playing the Atari arcade game "Tempest" which wasn't released until 1981 here in the UK and not 1978 as shown at the start of this scene :) sorry to be weird :)

@das81 it's a version of pulstar (or pulsar?) from vangelis - though I can't find the same version on YT, to my dismay, because it's great

The old high Story House is in Enderbys Wharf, Cambridgeshire. It was really the former headquarters of Sinclair Radionics.
