Blimey - the memories came flooding back. I'd totally forgotten about Simon's infamous memo about Mr Ownes Owens' version of Vindicator.
"Basically Horrid" was an understatement - the memo worked though - the final product was a billion times better than the flickering, occasional collision detecting, random animation that was his first version.
That was his last game wasn't it?

His last game? Really? So what happened to him after 'Vindicator' then? Did he jump or was he pushed?

...he went on to be, ahem, shirt and tie wearing office manager at the Ocean console dev building (Lancashire House).
Which reminds me - he did write some software post GB2 - he wrote some code to analyse the data from the key entry system to work out how many hours people had worked... of course it didn't work (and most likely flickered!) ;D

Why was the 'Green Beret 2' tag removed from the final release?

IIRC because 'Konami' wanted too much money for them to use it. (It was 'Konami' wasn't it?)

Ahh, that sort of covers my question asked in the games section about Green Beret II.
