Are you sure? That would contradict the information he provided himself...

Simon's wrong. It was only the C64 version that was done in-house. The Spectrum & Amstrad were made out house. I changed the main character sprites by request of Gary Bracey cos the ones included were pooey. Then I did the loading screen.

Simon was definitely only involved in the 64 version. He wasn't even at Ocean when the Spectrum & Amstrad versions were made, starting just as they were being finished.

I always thought that the reason the 64 version was the only one made inhouse was because they'd already had someone try to write a version out of house but they screwed up bad. So it was brought in-house so a new version could be knocked up and kept an eye on, as it was already long behind schedule.

Simon had nothing to do with Terra Cresta on the Spectrum either. That was released before he even started and that was all Joffa's work. Him and Simon NEVER worked together!

Fair enough; his name has been removed from the credits.

I knew about this one (from Joffa), so he wasn't listed for this particular game.

The credit was removed at the time, but (my memory isn't that good anymore) it was added again later on - probably after another correction request from someone else. :oops:

Ronnie's name has been fixed as well.

Ok cheers, but I WAS there. Simon didn't work on it! :)
