Interview

Post by andy vaisey »

Alright, I give up.

Been looking for the Cyberdyne interview but can't remember which issue it's in. :oops:

Remind a failing memory please...?

Well, I've re-read it and it's just how I remember. There are a few criticisms of Martin Walker, one of my C64 "heroes".

During his diary, Martin was nothing but full of praise for Cyberdyne.

Yet in the interview on Lemon64, Martin is descirbed by Cyberdyne as an "inspiration" and Robin and Dan, at the end, both send their hellos and hope he's well...

Looking for another interview...

I'm positive their was a small interview in ZZAP! with Gavin Raeburn (coder of budget software but now a big cheese at Codemasters).

Anyone know the issue? Please?

On Lemon64 forum, Dan has admitted that he's ashamed of that Zzap! interview, and said that Martin has always been very nice to them but at the time of the interview they were very frustrated with the industry in general and things came off a lot worse than they should have been. Something like that.
