Revs: How Geoff Crammond squeezed a Formula 3 sim racer into just 32KB on the BBC Micro

Revs for the BBC Micro is clever for more reasons than you'd expect. In addition to code in the sky and pioneering the idea of sim racing, it also took an approach to building tracks which would set the racing game template for more than a decade. I get deep into the detail explaining just what it is that Revs does and why it's so clever. Also I find a game that is remarkably playable for something of its era. As mentioned, this video would not exist without the excellent research at https://revs.bbcelite.com/ Further thanks to @RMCRetro for the images and video of their vintage-correct BBC Micro and Microvitec CUB setup, and @RoseTintedSpectrum for organising the actual process of getting it to me because I am rubbish at asking for help.

I aim to publish all comments, including dissent, but overly pedantic or negative ones may be moderated. Hearing about different experiences and what things were like in other countries adds a lot to the video! Please try to do so in a positive way while remembering that if I had to explain every minor international difference the video would be 2 hours long and boring, rather than 21 minutes long and boring. Failing that, at least make me laugh. Bonus fact: While both Revs and F1GP feature fake driver names, the ones in Revs have both an element of humour and an indication as to what to expect from each driver - Miles Behind is, as you might expect, often to be found languishing at the back of the grid. #bbcmicro #revs
