About Play Britannia
It's not a well-known story, but the history of computer games is a very British history. In 1983, twenty-year-old Jeff Minter started Llamasoft in his bedroom in Reading, a company which became a cult, selling millions of games worldwide. A year earlier, brothers Chris and Tim Stamper founded Rare in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, going on to create many of Nintendo's most famous and enduring times. Similar stories lie behind the the creation of world-leading, billion-selling games like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto.
