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!

@RetroBrothers There's a chapter on Elite in my recently published book Memories of Firebird, obviously concentrating on the Firebird conversions in particular.
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 https://t.co/DFdWKnRMBn It's going to be emotional!
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...
@stephenw32768 Sorry to interrupt, but if you are the same person responsible for 47loader, I could do with a small technical nudge in the right direction!
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!).

@JohnAndersen21 A few of us from the olden days have been trying to source CTW issues (specifically 1980s rather than '90s) for years. Annoyed I didn't hold onto them when we had issues lying around the office back in the day. I have one solitary issue, from October 1985... :-(
