    whats the point of us gold.. they did very little of their own games..

    e.g. gremlin converted all the gauntlet ports... ocean/denton and a few more did a lot of the us "imports"

    firebird is a decent company compared .. as hewson, well they are doing their own thing.. if it's not got braybrook , to me it's not a hewson book.

    do folk like roland rhodes / tony pomfret get a mention in the ocean book ? or is it the usual suspects we always see interviewed.

    A book on Ultimate/Rare or Codemasters - two companies from that era that managed to survive well into the 21st century - would be a very interesting IMO. Or a compendium on all the great (but smaller) software houses from that era - Gargoyle, Melbourne House, Gremlin Graphics, Level 9, etc would also be a nice read. From a purely personal POV.

    There are 34 staff interviewed, plus 5 musicians, and 7 management :D

    And yes - 4 pages to Tony.
