I'm still in regular contact with John Meegan who is living in Liverpool. Dawn worked with me at Creations but we lost touch over the last year.
Tony Pomfret also worked with me at Creations and Acclaim and he has the old Imagine going down video somewhere, so hopefully he will pass it on... it's quite funny viewing now.
I used to speak to Jon Dunn quite regularly too, but not for a while. I have forwarded the site link to all of them including Colin Gordon and Gary. I still speak to Kate all the time.. she is re-married with a daughter and living not far from Chester.
John Brandwood and Mike Lamb are both in the states and I bumped into them annually at E3, but as I have recently dropped out of the industry I doubt I will see them for some time.
It would be good to hear from everyone again.. especially you Junior!

I saw Ronnie Fowles a few months back,about September 2004, right near the old Ocean building in Central street, next to the other side of the the library on St Peters Sq. I did a double take cos he ain't changed much and it was deffo him. I didn't go and speak to him tho cos he was speaking to some ming mong and he was a scary bloke anyway. Was definitely him tho. So he's still about in Manchester. Mark K. Jones is in the states. I just did a google search when I was bored one day for my name and his website came up. The address is users.erols.com/mjonesgraphics/Dragonseyrie/There ya go! Oh and by the way, is Paulie Paul Hughes? You said you'd like to hear from me but your profile on here doesn't actually say who you are! And Billy Boy, those Platoon written specs, the first 2 are written by Simon Butler, not Gary Bracey. And the drawn 2 are by me (it says UNKNOWN underneath!)

What about Fossil - is he still with us??? How old was he back then? TTFN - Paulie. Fossil!I'd forgotten about him. Yeah he must be getting on now if he's still here.What was his real name? All I remember about him was big glasses, greasy hair and a grotty sweater. What about Steve Watson who did 'Wizball' on the Spectrum? My god! I'm having flashbacks as I type! And remember Lynn from upstairs? She had big fuzzy hair and said 'Wizball' as 'Wissssssssball'.Mmmmmmmm.

Yo Jonesy its me! Paul Hughes! I'll fix 'me profile.
Yo! Gary - my god, I forgot about Janet "Gaaaareeeee - Phone!" Didn't she take a wee on someone's car after an Ocean do one evening? Ahem alledgedly?
Blimey good old Catweasel - I'll never forget the line about Wizball "oh yes the aliens hyperspace away" - in other words he ran out of sprites!!!
Thought I recognised your handwriting on those Platoon docs!
Deaks is back in his home town - Ivan ran into him last year at a school reunion and I think he said he was doing business software now.

Where's Bobby Earle and who bloody cares?! Jack Wikley was down south at Acclaim and I ran into him at Ray Coffey's leaving do where he spent all night droning on about the wonderful world of polygons and how fabulous it all was and "oh my god are you still doing pixel work...how quaint?" and two weeks later...poof!...Acclaim join the other dinosaurs in that great big tar-pit for software companies. The last I heard of Mike Delves was when he was sighted at Jon Oldham's house quaffing ale like a champ. Where's Steve Wahid and why has no-one asked after him? If anyone has Ray Coffey's e-mail address in Australia please pass it on. As mentioned elsewhere, Dawn is married now with I think one child. I too have aften wondered about Clin Porch...he seemed to be as old as methuselah even then, so christ knows how old he is now...or if indeed he is still with us...which seems to be a possibility that everyone here has danced around but appeared too nervous to suggest. I'll see if I can track him down anywhere. Jones senior...as Junior has pointed out is in the States working for Bethesda, he interviewed me years ago...but my better half wouldn't relocate. I just hope to God that that useless bog-trotter doesn't show his fat face here. Work that one out for yourself. I have mostly fond memories of just about everyone from the old days with one or two exceptions...the moron twins who seemed joined at the hip...and that loathesome halfwit from Ireland. God...just the thought of him makes me shudder.
