>>Also the Design & GFX was by Captain Carnage...... Was this you?
When I was at college I shared a house with a Guy, Chris, who was into Jeff Minter games and had an idea for a game based around his graphics, he wanted to be known by this name (?).
>>I was amazed by the rainbow bars you added to the >>borders of the game along with the fast smooth >>scrolling which is almost on par with Sonic on the >>Megadrive Wicked!
This was the last game that I sold and spent a couple of years trying to improve it (my first version was in Autobahn, for Tynesoft). The rainbow stuff was inspired by Jeff Minter's games.
>> Was Xcellor8 going to be a Mastertronic release
>> before Gremlin Graphics snapped you up ?
At the time I had just finished doing a conversion for Gremlin Graphics (Bounder) through a 3rd party (DPA) and they liked the game (and didn't want me to change any of it).

No, Street Olympics was 'inspired' by DT's Star events. I wasn't/am not good at graphics so I opted for Coronation Street houses.

In order of writing:
Published
Vox, Autobahn, Pogo Pete, Street Olympics, Powerball, Bounder, Xcellor8, GWNN.
UnPublished/Not completed
Warhawk, Suicide Express, Uridium (very minor), some Galaga shoot-em-up game.
In all the games I have ever written there is always a cheat (the typing of a word) allowing you to get infinite lives, not die or run at maximum speed automatically.
Thanks for taking an interest

 | Can we jump back to 1986-ish and have these games released..
>UnPublished/Not completed

With your already imaginative releases and the awesome conversion of Bounder it almost makes me cry wondering how cool the above title would of been...
Wow even the thought of Uridim on C16 is alarming.
Would you still have any of your works at hand so we could have a look? They would be most intresting to see.
Also the cheat I did'nt find.... I tried PAT and TTOAW (the typing of a word), well after the GWNN name I had to try. Yep I'm think like that 
Do you have any clues or have I already missed it?
cheers,

Hi Patrick, great to here from you
Also the Design & GFX was by Captain Carnage...... Was this you?
I was amazed by the rainbow bars you added to the borders of the game along with the fast smooth scrolling which is almost on par with Sonic on the Megadrive Wicked!
Was Xcellor8 going to be a Mastertronic release before Gremlin Graphics snapped you up ?
Did you code Daley Thompsons Star Events (There was no authors name in-game) because your Street Olympics was very similar?
Was there any other cool games you may not of added
your name to or helped work with.
Sorry for so many questions.
Power ball was my fav and even today it's a class game. Man you showed us how 16k of memory was ment to be used. Many thanks for your games.
