Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me? I'm a journalist writing for Retro Gamer and, following a developer's profile I've written on US Gold, I've been given the task of writing an article on Ocean.
Please can anyone help me with interviews and background information on Ocean. If Gary Bracey, James Higgins, Mark Jones, Jon Ritman, John Lomax, Jonathan Smith, Paul Owens, Jonathan Dunn or anyone else affiliated with Ocean can help, I'd be so, so grateful.
I can be found at crookieguy@yahoo.co.uk or my PM from this forum. Does anyone know if David Ward could be persuaded to help too??
Thanks for reading this - and thanks also for providing hours and hours of fun during the 1980s and 1990s. As a Mancunian, I was always proud of Ocean and it's such a shame the name has been lost.
All the very best Dave Crookes

I've done my interview. As per usual once I got going I couldn't stop. No doubt it'll be fairly edited but I'm told the feature on OCEAN will be in the next issue which is out on March 30th. Who else has done an interview for this then?

I just want to thank all those who have offered their help so far: Mark Jones, Gary Bracey, Bill Harbison, Brian Flanagan and Jonathan Smith.
If anyone else can help, particularly those who were involved right from the start of Ocean or who can help me persuade David Ward to agree to an interview, please, please get in touch.
All the best Dave

Hi, As a Mancunian, I was always proud of Ocean and it's such a shame the name has been lost. Far from it mate, the Ocean name lives on... I spotted this car in sunny Stockport last year. Their logo is only two letters out from the original.

The latest issue of Retro Gamer out on March 30 contains the Ocean interview. Thanks guys for all your help - I couldn't have done it without you all and I hope you enjoy it. Visit www.retrogamer.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=753&start=45 and scroll down to the bottom for a sneak preview of the cover with the Ocean logo in the left hand corner.

It's a very thorough article - I had no idea you were going to nick some pictures from the website
