Technically this is one of the best quiz games I’ve seen on iTV, it’s also the last game Marc “never pays his invoices” Coupar worked on before he left babel to set up Bedrock TV.
In the final version of this interactiveTV game I had to disguise the fact that this is Bob Holness, because his daughter (who looks after his IP) couldn’t convince fremantle media (who own Blockbusters) to give her money… so I gave him a dodgy looking moustache! I recon Bob would have wanted his likeness used, by all accounts Blockbusters was his life!
The main game screen is dressed in authenic late 80’s studio set, faithfully recreated by my artist Mat.
