Some things never change, and fanboy fights are certainly not new to this generation!

Half of the legendary ’Oliver Twins’ (now co-founders of Blitz games), Philip talks about life in the Spectrum camp, and the C64 rivalrly that was held up throughout schools.

With a GV exclusive, Philip Oliver talks about their early success on the Sinclair Spectrum on legendary classics such as Dizzy the Egg.
Andrew and I were school kids interested (some might say obsessed) in computer games when the early 8-bit systems first arrived. First there was the Spectrum from the pioneering British company Sinclair Research, boasting incredible colour graphics! Within a year came the American Commodore 64. Ever since, debate has raged over which was better.
