It's great to see you guys keeping Zzap! alive. Certainly brought back a few memories looking at the site...even saw me name mentioned which made me blush! I worked for Newsfield and the Europress as it was later called. Worked on a few issues of Zzap! while putting together SEGA FORCE. Had THE best time of my life working with the gang, certainly didn't feel like a 'real' job. The fun and light-hearted banter you get in the mags was inherent in every department. Ahhhhh...them were the days. Keep up the good work. I'll keep checking back now I've found ya! Best wishes. Adrian Pitt

Heh--so another ex-Zzap person returns to the fold. Just wait: they'll all be back sooner or later ;)

Well, certainly would be great to hear from some of the Newsfield/Europress staff I worked with. Maybe organise a reunion?! A lot are still dotted here there and everywhere in the magazine business. Make sure you let me know if anyone arranges a 'get together' - wouldn't want to miss a night out down the pub! Ade

Maybe try and convince some of them to go to Back in Time Live (see www.c64audio.com). There were quite a few ex-C64 people there last time, even at the London event (including a certain Mr. Minter).
We reckon James Price was lurking on this board a few months ago, but got narked when Gordo worked out who he was :)

Wonder what ever happened to James Price? Used to be a long-haired youth when I was giving him a lift to work. If yer out there - reveal yerself Mister Price!

Hey Adrian, I remember issues about 79-80 with your reviews! What are you doing now? The page "Where are they now" by Maff Rignall :) seems to be gone, and now the best source of info about this is Gordon's page at http://the-burrow.freeserve.co.uk , but you are not listed there!
Ah, and the posts by Yossarian in this forum (Yossarian is the name behind which many suspect James Price hides)

Cheers, Fabbo...
And Adrian, if you tell us what you're doing these days, I'd be happy to update my site with your details.

Though I hate answering my own posts, because it reveals how truly sad I am, I've just looked at your message board profile and added an entry on my Where are they now? page based on that. Take a look, and if you can provide any more details about what you did between zzap! and yr current job, let me know.
