When at MGM, spoke to Arthur C Clarke regularly. One day was asked to speak to a visiting friend for a sec. Spoke to a lovely chap for 10 mins. Arthur came back and said to me, "so how did you get on with Buzz" Thank you @TheRealBuzz for being a gent! #videogames #gamedev

Told the family I am spending my 57th birthday with Katy! |So far fought the Daemons, visited Peladon and about to join my friend Tim @TimTreloar99 and Katy deal with the Cybermen. What a birthday!! @ManningOfficial you are a treasure, we all love you!
So proud we got featured in the Guinness Book of Gaming records. Never expected to be a Guinness record breaker! The multiplay was the idea of genius producer James Purple Hampton, with me coding all the gameplay and AI around it #RETROGAMING #atari #videogames #alien #Predator
Heartbroken to confirm the passing of Derek Davis, Editor of PC Pilot Magazine. I worked as his deputy on the magazine for over a decade. A wonderful man who will be deeply missed. #flightsim #videogames #simulation

Would you believe that this week 30 years ago in 1994, Mike Beaton and myself commandeered the dining room of my parent's house to finish AvP on their dining table! All you need for a great game is support of a great family! #RETROGAMING #Atari #AvP #videogames

Wishing Swen and all my friends @larianstudios a great release with BG3. A fabulous game that is taking the #videogames industry by storm. Roll a natural 20 guys! #BG3 #RPG #DnD #gamedev
incredible man. Got to spend time with him in my Spectrum coding days, along with Alan Miles and Bruce Gordon from Sinclair research. I loved the #ZXSpectrum and miss working with it! #videogames #retrogames
🇬🇧 Today would have been Sir Clive Sinclair's 83rd birthday. RIP. #Sinclair #ZX80 #ZX81 #ZXSpectrum #RetroComputing
I cannot believe 30 years since we were hired for Alien Vs Predator. Started 93, shipped 94. As devs we had no idea it would change the face of the industry! #Atari @atari #videogames #RETROGAMING #Aliens #avp #gamedev #gamedevelopment #alien #strategy #FPS #survival
Been asked about the #PowerCrystal materials for #3DO M2 console. Yes, everything digitised including concept art, models, code etc for posterity now. #RETROGAMING #retrogames #RPG
So grateful to @dovetailgames for 15 years working with them on sim projects, trains and planes (in addition to my day job!) and their lovely statement. #Simulation #TSW3 #videogames #gamedev #indiedev linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
A game I absolutely adored on release. It defined a genre! #RETROGAMING
40 years ago #Today, Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair was released. Being an interactive film LaserDisc video game, it was the first arcade to feature fully animated characters vs the sprite games of the time [read more: buff.ly/3XlKuAP]
Martin and John deserve recognition for their place in history, with Sinclair and Atari. As do Bruce Gordon and Alan Miles. True pioneers that shaped the future of gaming hardware. Incredible talent. Humbled to see me mentioned in the article. #RETROGAMING #Atari #videogames
My first computer was Sinclair ZX Spectrum, second was Atari 800 XL. I'm sure you all know connection between Sinclair, ZX Spectrum and Atari Jaguar and Nuon... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Math…
Thank you Bonnie, so appreciated!
Please join me in congratulating @WhittakerGames on 42 years in #videogames - thank you for continued contribution in making games better. #janewhittaker lnkd.in/eWdJFsh3
This looks a lot of fun. The moment anyone mentions Aliens it has my interest for obvious reasons! #retrogaming #aliens
Very happy to introduce the amazing XENOCRISIS from @BitmapBureau! This is an action game for Mega Drive/Genesis & Steam that retro gamers must try!! 🙌🏻 It’s just like the movie Aliens with bigger guns & even more aliens! Music & style is great 😊 please check out my video! ♥️…
An ad featuring AvP I hadn't seen today. Someone smarter than me can tell me, but I think it is in Czech? Thank you for sharing @OldTechAdverts #atari #videogames #RETROGAMING
The Atari Jaguar console. Had pretty good potential but failed to catpure the market. atarimania.com/mags/pdf/alert… #atarijaguar #retrocomputing #retrogaming
