BIOGRAPHYWriting the Slots and Pokies games which have been authored ( all my own work ) by me over the years, the first game published was "slots Egypt and a 243 line game called "keep fit " and that was in the early 1980’s, they were written on an XT computer which was a real step up from the “Dick Smith “ wizard that I started with, that machine came with a basic compiler whereby you could write some basic code and run it, trouble was it took some time before an audio cassette became available to store this code, so, when you switched the machine off all your code was lost. The Commodore 64 and 1541 were really nice to work with after the wizard although once again it took some time before they offered an external disc drive as an accessory. The internet was not as accessible as it is today, the first web browser was from memory called Mosaic and was introduced in the early 80’s so the local bulletin board was the place to be. I am now 73 yrs. old and will still continue making new games (only a little slower than usual!!). Next game out will be my 50th. |
