Bit of a hero is Minter. Not just for the games (partial to llamatron myself, also tempest 2000 but only emulated - not buying a jaguar for one game). Bit of a pionneer of all the trippy light visualisation stuff too.
He had a cameo in the interactive black mirror episode a few years back.

Prolific games writer, I regularly used to write items for the magazine ZZAP64, now that brings back memories.
I used buy ZZAP64 as a young lad. Great magazine.

Yeah I saw him in that, did a double take as he looked familiar but not until the credits did I see it was him. Some fantastic emulators out there for PC and Android to relive those old game memories. I used buy ZZAP64 as a young lad. Great magazine.
There are still a few sites out there that have old copies of this digitzed, it was indeed a great magazine.

Bump. I forgot about this, so it was nice for Epic to send me a reminder.

It will be interesting to see how the Football Manager games integrate Covid into them.
