My Fave C64 Coders No.22
Rowlands Brothers
Steve & John made some of the C64’s finest games in its twilight years, earning a ZZAP! Sizzler (Retrograde 94%) & 3 Gold Medals: Creatures (96%), Creatures 2 (97%) & the stunning achievement that is Mayhem in Monsterland (97%). Wow!
My Favourite C64 Coders No.25
Zach Townsend
Zach didn’t get off to a great start with Cobra, but he more than made up for it in the years that followed with 3 superb games - 2 ZZAP! Sizzlers - Platoon & Batman: The Caped Crusader - and the Gold Medal winning Batman: The Movie.
My Favourite C64 Coders No.26
David Fox
David worked on all three of Lucasfilm’s groundbreaking adventures, starting with Labyrinth, then the legendary point-and-click titles Maniac Mansion with Ron Gilbert and Zack McKracken with Matthew Kane. Wow!
My Favourite C64 Coders No.27
Colin Porch
Colin achieved what no one else had done before – port an isometric Spectrum game to the C64 without making it a slow-motion snooze-fest! Head Over Heels is brilliant, as is Operation Wolf and Gryzor/Contra is pretty darn good too.
My Favourite C64 Coders No.28
Andrew Spencer
If, like me, you played International Soccer to death as a kid, Andrew Spencer will be a name you’re very familiar with. Andrew’s other great games include the brilliant International Basketball and Street Sports Basketball.
My Favourite C64 Coders No.34
John Darnell
John made a variety of great C64 games. He co-coded Dragon's Lair & Escape From Singe’s Castle for Software Projects & alone made the budget hits Kane/Kane 2 (Mastertronic) as well as Match Day 2 (Ocean) & Star Paws (S.P. again).
My Favourite C64 Coders No.36
Gregg Barnett
Gregg worked on a diverse range of games from The Hobbit and Sherlock to Hungry Horace and Rock N Wrestle. But his finest achievement is one of the greatest C64 games ever made. The magnificent, The Way of the Exploding Fist.
My Fave C64 Coders No.39
Martin Walker
Martin’s first C64 game was 1985's Rupert & the Toymaker’s Party. In 86 he made Chameleon & in 87 came Hunter’s Moon. He then chronicled the making of Citadel in ZZAP’s ‘Walker's Way'. All ace games. So, we can forgive Back to the Future.
My Favourite C64 Coders No.48
Peter Baron
Peter wasn’t prolific, but what he lacked in quantity, he made up for in quality. C64 Salamander is awesome, & Myth: History in the Making is one of the finest platformers of the 80s & both were massive 94% ZZAP! Sizzlers. A class act.
My Favourite C64 Coders No.49
Mike Singleton
The C64 wasn’t Mike’s main machine but I couldn’t do a list of great 80s coders without mentioning him. He had a hand in the C64 conversions of Lords of Midnight & Doomdark’s Revenge and co-coded Quake Minus One. RIP Mike. A genius.
