Issue #23 of Pixel Addict Magazine contains a large Teletext special celebrating the 50th Teletext anniversary, and I am featured as one of six “teletext aficionados”, talking about the background of Worms VBI a little. ¡Fabuloso!

Pixel Addict #23

Besides the juicy Teletext special, there are articles about game development for the NES, early 1980s “slabtop” computers, and many more. Recommended to every retro lover!

PS: Is it “Teletext” or is it “teletext”? I’ve been using Telext in capitalized form everywhere to denote the general technology. Watching the (excellent!) Teletext @50 documentary, I’ve learned that there’s a difference between Teletext and teletext: Teletext with a capital T refers to Teletext Ltd., a teletext provider from 1993. Confusing, but also defunct since 2010 – I think I’ll stick to “Teletext”, as that seems common as well, and Teletext has been a capital influence on my creative shenanigans. :)
