Black Mirror: Bandersnatch puts the focus on 80s PC Gaming, but it could also shine a light on the future of the entire gaming industry.
Netflix’s Black Mirror has a history with gaming. Series creator Charlie Brooker and several other staffers wrote about games early in their careers. This eventually led to series episodes like Playtest and USS Callister, which explore the potential horrors of virtual realities. There’s an obvious love shown for the medium in that episode, and it seems like it’s just the beginning. Premiering on the service tomorrow, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is a full-length movie set in the early days of PC gaming.
Bandersnatch follows a programmer trying to translate an epic fantasy novel to the limited technology of 80s gaming.
