Pete Cooke. I'd love to see a Tau Ceti 3 or a Micronaut 2, but he also did so many weird original games.
Does anyone know if he did anything after Tower of Babel on the 16-bits? -

Yes, it does share more in common with Room 10 really. I like Room 10, a Pete Cooke special. I read that Room 10 bores when playing vs the CPU because it is easy to beat when you know how, but I didn't find it that easy to beat when I tried it out. -

Used to love Room 10, and quite a lot of the Pete Cooke games. I particularly liked the GUI interfaces he'd do on things like Micronaut One (IIRC).
