"There's a cracking Mathew Smith interview on YouTube. He has a few mental issues now so he not doing so good. He's unable to talk about the 8 months writing Jetset Willy as it messed him up. He made no money off the back of it. https://youtu.be/Dss-HZb2YWI https://youtu.be/ERve4p7Sgw8 " Will look later. I conversed with him via email about 10 years ago, he seemed quite together then. He was thrilled to learn the kids i worked with at a school thought Manic Miner was great. | |||

"Omg loved chucky egg. Don't like to boast but was really good at it " Once you knew the levels off by heart and how the flying chicken moved you could rack up a massive score. I think the version on the Dragon was better. | |||

"How many people destroyed their joysticks and keyboards playing Daley Thompson's decathlon?!... " Ocean bought the licence for peanuts when Daley Thompson was relatively unknown. Once he blasted the decathlon they made a fortune off the games. Ocean always bought the licences for Hollywood films way in advance at a risk, but also for cheap. RoboCop was another one they made a mint off doing that. | |||

It was so annoying keying in the editions worth of code for a game and it not working. Then you'd get the error list attached to the next edition showing where they'd fucked up. Usually a coma where a dot was needed. Part of the fun was trying to work out out yourself | |||
