Here's proof that the coders & audio team for SNES 'Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge' team survived making the game. From left to right:- Mike Follin, Kevin Edwards ( Me ), Geoff Follin, Tim Follin and Dean Belfield. This gathering is from last year. Missing Ste Ruddy

The final two pages from the FAX FROM HELL. Anyway, we got the game out in time. Sure, the gameplay was harsh on some levels, but we were under a lot of pressure and had no time to tune the playability as we would have liked. I hope your production people aren't like this!

In case you missed it, last year, Eclipse, my original GameBoy 3d demo, was discovered. I made this in just a couple of months when I was a wee 17 years old and it changed my life completely. https://t.co/sZ11rA4goT

🚨How British companies are bolstering Vladimir Putin’s war machine🚨
A depressing thread.
But an important one.

@IamXERO ++ about Slow Horses. Very different but also Shrinking and Shantaram. They clearly likely names starting S.

To cheer you up. When church artwork goes wrong!

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

@gipyjai @GameDevMachine @IamXERO @devgoblin You’ve not said what that might be yet?

I’m not saying this clock the wife got from Kmart is shit, but the alarm didn’t go off this morning and the time is now 9:77

@16bitSmith Very Happy Birthday, sir! Here’s to many more.
