    Ooo! A thing arrived in the post!

    Just giving my Facebook page a little love and came across this banner; it got me all melancholy... Probably the best game I ever programmed; certainly the most fun I've had developing, and one that I still play multiplayer on DS to this day!

    Great memories working on this with Allan Shortt (RIP) on the C64 - many late nights down in the Central Street dungeons, but never a cross word. Hyper Sports meets An Officer and a Gentleman - what's not to love?

    Oh man. This really takes me back... I was really proud of what we pulled off with Starlancer.

    Daft things that I do #3 - Full deck still sealed in the cellophane, locked in with a hardened Masterlock that’s too big to fit through the neck of the unaltered bottle. I’m such a great catch (ha!). 🤪

    I knew I’d seen my WEC Le Mans ST demo source lurking... 28 years old; gotta recover my old ST hard drive to see if I can get the demo running again. All based directly on Mike Lamb’s ace Z80 track routine.

    This thoroughly splendid tome just dropped through my letterbox. Featuring Dave Collier talking about Roland’s Rat Race, and some big bald chap from Wigan talking about the Ocean Loader and some dismal games 🤪 Must be the best issue ever, right? 😉

    Snippets of the Ocean Loader III music by Pete Clarke. It was originally composed in 1986 on Electrosound and titled "Ocean Dries Up" - ported by Pete to Martin's superior driver. A little peep behind the 6502 curtain #64

    The one manual to rule them all - even deeper than Commodore's own Reference Guide - Rae West's Programming the Commodore 64. It was always within reach back in the lofty Ocean days.

    More goodies from the attic. My hoarding knows no bounds. Goodies from our PS2/Xbox/GameCube Harry Potter. Suffice to say the pre-production team changed significantly to “most of the damn company” to get it done in time. The stress on this one almost ended my career prematurely!

    "Good enough is the enemy of the excellent" a fine paraphrasing of Voltaire from the programming legend that is John Miles. One of my favourite and oft-quoted nuggets of wisdom in this industry of ours. Don't aim to be second best.

    Aye, aye maybe I hadn’t burned ALL the source... time to dig out the source converter code to see what’s there...

    Boxes of ye’olde business cards from the business we like to call games...

    I thought I had Rick’s card...

    Holy sh*t - it happened... 1,000 followers! I shall start putting some downloadable retro source goodies together! (*this is where 500 people now unfollow me!)

    The terrible Starlancer cover, followed by the much better cover on a pirate copy given to me from Thailand. The mind boggles!

    Driving his Tesla in Austin a la Uber/Lyft. I kid you not...

    Heavens; you can find anything on the interwebz; the Intro movie from Starlancer for example (featuring the Easter egg voice of Martin Galway). Blimey this really takes me back...

    A Dreamcast blast from the past; Our Space sim with added four player multiplayer on the (EU Spec) 14.4 software modem - all peer to peer with host migration. Maybe 8 or 9 people bought it! We were quite proud of pulling it off at the time.

    This is a doozy. Hope I can dig the source out. This was from my attempt at porting Nick Pelling's 3D Pool to the C64. Some embarrassingly naive derivations in there, but hey, filled 3D in 1989.
