Occasional ramblings on games, generally retro related
When my parents brought home a ZX81 one day (complete with wobbly 16K RAM pack, of course) I discovered the joy of programming. But it wasn't until I got my hands on a ZX Spectrum that my obsession with games really began, which continued with the C64, Amiga, right through to this day. The 80s and early 90s were an amazing time for games, not just for the games themselves but for the fascinating people behind them - it was truly a time of pioneers and creativity.
I myself have spent the last (almost) 20 years working in the games industry on all manner of platforms, most recently iOS. Ziggurat Development Ltd is my company here in NZ that provides contract programming services.
Yesterday the people behind the "From Bedrooms To Billions" doco tweeted something very intriguing indeed:
Latest interview just shot! With the sword of Damocles over our heads we needed a Mercenary to bail us out! What an Encounter that was!

This is obviously a reference to Novagen, but could this actually mean they interviewed Paul Woakes? As far as I'm aware, this would be a first if true.
