Earlier I posted a little tale about the 18 months of existence of Imagine Software, and Bandersnatch, one of the impossible pieces of expensive vapourware that never came to fruition (which has since become the inspiration for one of the TV series under the Black Mirror brand).
I knew that some of the ZX Spectrum code had ended up as part of the game Gift of the Gods, which was ultimately published by a different company who hired a surviving former Imagine Software team.
But I didn't know this other part of the story on how another part of the original Banderstnatch code ended up becoming part of the Amiga, Atari ST, and 68k Macintosh game Brataccas.
It makes sense now, because the Sinclair QL featured an earlier version of the Motorola 68000, so the port from the QL to the Amiga must have been relatively straightforward.
Says Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrataccasIn October 1984, Sinclair Research paid a rumoured £100,000 for the rights to Bandersnatch and contracted Fire Iron, a new company set up by Hetherington and Lawson, to produce the game for the Sinclair QL[6] for release in early 1985.[10][11][12] Sinclair withdrew funding in 1985 when the QL version never appeared, and the directors then formed Psygnosis, with their first title Brataccas introduced at the 1985 Personal Computer World show.[13][14] It featured many of the concepts originally intended for Bandersnatch, and was released on the Atari ST, Amiga, and Macintosh[15] in January 1986.[2]
Look at those graphics! They are untranslated tetra-colour QL graphics on the Amiga, Atari ST, and the 68k Macintosh!

I kept putting off watching Black Mirror: Bandersnatch as I wanted to explore all the choices (which takes a bit of time) but the news it's being taken off Netflix on Monday gave me the push I needed (given the format, it's unlikely to appear on another medium after all).
Glad I did. It's well worth it. You have until Sunday night!

Kinda disappointed that #Netflix abandoned their interactive storytelling efforts because I thoroughly enjoyed the 2018 film/game Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and wanted to see more.

Anyone happen to remember what the music recommendation(s) were in #Bandersnatch #BlackMirror?

But he could have reacted far more in general.
But that made me think of a storyline in #BlackMirror: #BanderSnatch 😅

Argh. I'm kinda disappointed I don't have a Netflix subscription now. I just found an article that mentioned #Bandersnatch being accessible to #Voiceover.

While I'm pretty sure I understand why I missed the renewal of #BlackMirror back in June, I still can't believe I'm five months late to the party! Seriously? Guys, when is Season Seven coming out? Huh? Huh? Omgomgomgomgomgomg! I'm tempted to do an entire series rewatch. Also, are we #Blind folks able to actually participate in #Bandersnatch properly? I remember being disappointed I wasn't able to figure out how to do that with #Voiceover last time, and I'd rather not emotionally invest again if we're still not able to interact well with it without sighted help. Do I even need to watch Bandersnatch as part of the story arc? I forget!

It's interesting that #Bandersnatch was a megagame, targeted for launch on the #Sinclair #ZXSpectrum and then shifted over to the #QL, where it could have made quite a splash (the QL had very few games). It was never released, although some possible screenshots have been recovered. Yes, this is the same Bandersnatch that the #BlackMirror episode was influenced by.

#bandersnatch was very interesting in the way it's a choose you own adventure that actually makes sense as a linear movie too. A linear movie that includes all the backs and forths. I don't know if you can actually get a different ending by changing choices (I mean you probably get all of the endings anyway but is the order variable?)
The final ending I got really felt like it was the "real" one.
