Licensing computer games of TV shows was a big thing in the 80's. You had guaranteed brand recognition even if the show wasn't suited at all for a home micro game. ChinnyVision looks at 5 more TV shows that got home computer conversions. Russ Abbot, Miami Vide, Minder, Run The Gauntlet and Double Dare all feature. All on original hardware including the Amstrad CPC and C64. Note: There is no Spectrum version of the Russ Abbot game. It was advertised, but not released.

Enduro Racer from Sega hit the arcades in 1986 and was converted to the home systems by Activision the following year. You wouldn't get the ride on bike and handlebars at home but how does it shape up on the hime micros? We look at the game on the Sinclair Spectrum, CPC, C64, Atari ST all on the original hardware. Note we have not covered the Sega Master System version as it is a totally different style of game and is not an arcade conversion.

The MSX was an attempt to "standardise" home computing in the same way the IBM PC had standardised business computing. We look at once such example of MSX hardware, the Sony HitBit 75b as well as some of its games. http://www.chinnyvision.com Follow us on Twitter - @ChinnyVision ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVMp6uMDz2s
