Over on my blog I started a series of biographical (and other retro game dev related) posts. I’ve previously posted links to these on my now defunct #birdsite page but it feels appropriate to build up links to some of this content here.
My very first job in the games industry was at Software Projects in 1984 where I worked on Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy for the Amstrad CPC computers. You can read about what that was like here:

My #introduction
Hi! I’ve joined mastodon as a Twitter refugee. Having read several incredible introductions, I’ve rapidly developed impostor syndrome and suspect I shall lurk and re-toot(?) rather than creating content of my own.
I work on #softwareprojects for the government. I’m from #tasmania. I #cook #bake #sail and love being an absolute #nerd. I apologise if this toot is not right. I am new to this.
