À propos du livre
With the British computer game scene about to explode, a small shop appeared on Sheffield’s Carver Street called Just Micro. It was founded by the partnership of Ian Stewart and Kevin Norburn, both with retail backgrounds but a desire to get into the business of games publishing. Fortunately the shop attracted local talent such as Pete Harrap, Shaun Hollingworth and Tony Crowther, and so, in 1984, Gremlin Graphics was formed.
A Gremlin in the Works, published by Bitmap Books, plots the course of the company, from initial successes with Monty Mole, Jack The Nipper and Thing On A Spring, to its ground-breaking Lotus-branded racing games, and eventual purchase by Infogrames in 1999. Officially endorsed by founder Ian Stewart, A Gremlin in the Works: The Expansion Disk extends A Gremlin in the Works, with
over 20 exclusive new interviews and anecdotes from key staff including Steve Marsden, David Martin, Ed Campbell, Graeme Ing, Paul Porter, along with stalwarts of the global gaming scene Andy Payne OBE, NAPS Team and Glyn Williams.
