Modul 8 was a cult show of the Croatian Radio Television (HRT) that was broadcast from 1994 to 2002. This show was particularly popular with the younger gaming population, giving viewers the chance to see the latest games, take part in competitions and enjoy an entertaining hosting style.
The show started as a competition between two teams of two players each, and later the format changed to 1 on 1. The hosts of the show, including Boris Mirković and later in the reign of the PlayStation console in Croatia Kristijan Ugrina, further enriched the viewing experience with their special leadership style.
One of the reasons why the show has remained in the hearts of many is its ability to combine video game playing with television entertainment. Viewers (most of whom were children in elementary school) often dreamed of participating in the show, wanting to show off their skills and challenge their friends. The show was also known for its prime time and studio, which became recognizable symbols of the time.
Today, Modul 8 is often mentioned with nostalgia, and recordings of episodes that have been uploaded to YouTube bring back memories of the golden age of Croatian Radio and Television. If you were one of those who eagerly awaited each new episode, you surely remember the excitement and joy that this show brought.
