      Never heard of him either, but a quick google reveals he's a chess expert and a robot sex enthusiast. Which is nice.

            Exile is one of my favourite games ever. It must have been one of the first open-world games along with Elite. I like the bit with the robot that fires homing missiles. I used to just spend ages dodging those for as long as I could. You could also hold the water container in front of you as a shield. Great times

            Fab days
            I really like Zarch on Archimedes. I play on emulation sometimes. I have only ever got to Wave 7 and that felt like an achievement!

                This shows how similar the Enterprise is to the Amstrad -- essentially the same graphics.

                  A great port of the Amiga classic.



                  I hope this turns out to be as impressive as the footage suggests.

                        Space Manbow is an excellent shoot 'em up for the MSX2.
