The roots of Britain's £4 billion video games industry can be traced back to the early 1980s when the home computer age had its beginnings. Each of the eight stamps features a classic game which gained worldwide success and demonstrates the bewildering variety of games on offer.
The Gold 500 cover carries a 22ct gold-blocked design framing an image of a start screen flanked by two further images long associated with these games. The cover carries a Game Street, Oldham 'Press Start' handstamp. Numbered limited edition of 500.
