I've just recently been getting into hacking Speccy games again and found a hidden message tucked away in Target Renegade (I'm trying to get the 2 player difficulty in 1 player mode)
"HI PBRAIN...OR SHOULD I CALL YOU SHAEMUS. LOVED HEIST... WELL WORTH THE CRASH REVIEW" (Heist had recently received a score of 11% with the crash reviewer branding it the worst game he had ever reviewed!)
It rang a bell with me that pbrain was also the cheat code for Arkanoid. So I was just wondering who pbrain was, and for that matter if you remember adding in any other easter eggs to your games back in the day? Was it easier to sneak stuff into your work compared to now?
IIRC while hacking the Amiga version of Final Fight I found a lengthy diatribe about a colleague's coding skills, review of a Prince album and arguments for the legalisation of cannabis!

I think that may be one for Mike Lamb.

Rings a bell - Mike put something about him in Arkanoid's end sequence. Asking when his next "pile of crud" was coming out! I think he was a programmer that worked with him briefly. Didn't Johnny Meegan know him (or of him). John?
