It's alive! my new book 'Memories of Rainbird and beyond Software' is now available from Fusion Retro Books.
Kickstarter backers and preorders will be going out very soon. fusionretrobooks.com/product…
A reminder that my new book is now in the last week of the Kickstarter campaign.
Memories of Rainbird and Beyond Software - Kickstarter campaign.
The stretch goal for the slip case is £40K - we are at £27K with over 8 days to go. It would be great to get the slip case, so if you can support please check out : kickstarter.com/projects/zza… #retrogaming
Memories of Rainbird & Beyond is now live on Kickstarter, from Fusion Retro Books. If you want to know the history behind both publishers and the stories behind some of the developers and the games they produced, then this could be the book for you!

People are now receiving their pre-ordered copy of Memories of Firebird. Comments and reviews from them have been universally positive! 😁
Less than 8 weeks to go before Memories of Firebird is published! Don't forget that you can still pre-order at a discount price directly from the publishers web site at telos.co.uk/shop/other-non-f… It's going to be emotional!
No idea why a copied URL would add an extra character, but here is (hopefully) a working version! telos.co.uk/shop/other-non-f…
My latest article for Retro Gamer tells the story of 221B Software Developments, one of several games development teams in the late eighties and early nineties who caught the end of the 8-bit and 16-bit wave, before facing the arrival of the cartridge then CD-based consoles...
Exciting news!
My book 'Memories of Firebird' is now available for pre-ordering via the publisher's website. Due next Spring (2024), if you pre-order now, you can get your copy at a discounted rate for all you early birds (excuse the pun!).

After 11 months following the guidance for people at greater risk of #coronavirus , this weekend the gov removed asthmatics from priority group 6. It has caused immense anxiety for me & the 4.3m adults with asthma in the UK.
This is not the way to achieve vaccination milestones
