Подробнее о видео

New UPSCALED footage from a higher quality source along with NEW explanatory intro and credits outro. This is much better quality than any previous upload of this footage!

The complete home video of the making of the Ocean Software segment of 'Chegwin Checks It Out'.

Filmed in the basement of Ocean Software (the 'dungeons'), 6 Central Street, Manchester on Friday 8th July 1988 by Z80 coder Paul Owens.

Here is all the video shot that day. It remains the longest video document of what it was actually like downstairs at Ocean.

Many thanks to birdy-scc for upscaling the footage & Barry Leitch for the assistance.

*** I forgot to include JONATHAN DUNN in the who’s who section at the start! I thought there’d be a cock up somewhere. I prepared a photo to illustrate him and realised, 2 hours after rendering it, I'd not included it! Anyway, he’s the musician featured who gets the most screen time of all the staff so I guess it works out. Sorry Jon!
