Mr Chip Software was Shaun's publisher at the start of his career, but over the years he worked for several publishers and developers, as well as forming his own company. But what where they going to call it? Another employee came up with a name — Magnetic Fields.

“It was a programmer/producer we used to work with called Michelangelo Pignani. There's a name for you!" Andrew remembers. "He had a creative involvement with some of our early stuff, and designed some of his own games including Xadium (C16). I think it's true that the Jean-Michel Jarre album was where the idea came from but we were considering all sorts of electronic related names."

Au tout début, il y avait un autre programmeur, Michelangelo Pignani. Mais il est parti il y a plusieurs années pour faire le tour de l’Afrique. On a reçu quelques cartes postales de divers endroits, mais il n’est pas encore revenu.

Translation: At the very beginning, there was another programmer, Michelangelo Pignani. But he left several years ago to tour Africa. We received a few postcards from various places, but he hasn't returned yet.
