As part of the Hall of Light hol.abime.net/ team, we are trying to catalogue all Amiga games including full author credits. We would be most appreciative if anybody here that worked on any Amiga games (code, graphics, music, sound effects, level design or game design) would go to the website above and search for your name. If you find any mistakes or games you have not been credited for, please tell us and we will happily fix them! We are also keen to know of any games that were made on the Amiga first so if you know that information, that would also be superb! Post any mistakes/amendments here or email any of the HOL team and we'll update them quicker than you can say Gary Bracey!  |

I know I worked on the forward shooting tanky blam blam part of 'Rambo III' on the ST and Amiga. I also did the graphics for the side ways scrolling taxi section of 'Total Recall' too on the same machines. 'TR' and 'Rambo III' were also on the Spectrum. Only the Amstrad and CPC conversions are mentioned.
Mark K Jones is the only artist listed on 'Rambo III' AND 'Total Recall'.
Me and Simon Butler did the graphics to Empire's 'Gazza II' while we were at 'UnActive Minds'. Simon did the ingame graphics and I worked on the icons and other static stuff.

Marky - I just found copies of those Total Recall graphics last night whilst digging through all those ST disks.

Any C64 material from Active Minds in there? |

Here's 3 shots, 2 from 'Total Recall' and 1 from 'Rambo II' from the sections I did.    Pretty crappy but oh well. They were my first attempts! |

Mark: Thanks for the info, I've updated the 3 entries you mentioned: Gazza 2: hol.abime.net/2706Rambo 3: hol.abime.net/1195Total Recall: hol.abime.net/1475You mentioned "UnActive Minds" - was this the name of the development company that wrote Gazza 2? (I assume it's Active Minds and you're taking the mickey - please correct me if I'm wrong!) Also is "Mark R. Jones" the correct credit you would like on those entries? Gary Bracey: You are currently credited as a miscellaneous artist in HOL for Wizkid - on the credit screen it says "Endoflevel boss Gary Bracey" - is that just a joke credit to say you were the man in charge? Or did you do some other work on that game? |

Also is "Mark R. Jones" the correct credit you would like on those entries? Yeah I was taking the piss. Honestly, if you met the 2 in charge of 'Active Minds' you'd wonder where the hell the name came from. Trades descriptions should have been alerted. And the name's fine cheers! |

Or did you do some other work on that game? Really? I didn't realise I appeared in any credits. However, although I may have been responsible in some overseeing capacity with Wizkid, I very much doubt I could take any graphical credit. My artist abilities are just about on a par with those of my programming skills! |

Maybe the end of level boss IS Gary Bracey! It could mean you have to fight Gary himself to get to the end.

... there are no words!
Needless to say, graphics and programming are not a 'forte' of mine.
