Another blast from the past! Interview I did with DC-UK magazine back in 1999.

Google knows literally everything. I was working in the shop during the day and staying up all night doing the game. I was lucky to have such a place on my doorstep.

For those who don’t know, the Concrete Donkey in Worms is real! It was from my parents’ front garden, and still stands proudly there today 🙌

The Worms stamp! Issued by Royal Mail as part of a celebration of British video games. It was a real honour to be included alongside the other games, and it made my mum so proud. I think it's when it really hit home for her how big the game had got.

This takes me back! Recording of when I was on the TV show Bad Influence, I was 22 at the time. Includes footage of the original Total Wormage, which was the version of the game I entered into the Amiga Format competition and later showed Team17. youtu.be/3xmIUPStiuU?...

For fans of the Wormsong, it was inspired by this: youtu.be/ZFYxCIr-Byo?is… I wanted the game to be absolutely full of references to games, films, TV and songs that I liked. Even if they weren’t that obvious. So I wrote the lyrics with Bjørn, and we put it in the game.

Courtesy of SimD on the Worms Discord, this is what started my love of Artillery games back in 1983. I’d completely forgotten the name of it. From this, to Worms. Over the course of 12 years. youtu.be/dCNutipwl_Q?...

Met RJ Mical at Kickstart - UK Amiga Expo, which was a really surreal moment, and got my Amiga reference manuals signed. Never did I ever expect to get to speak to one of the original Amiga team. Without them my life would have been very different indeed! No Amiga, no Worms.

Thanks for the great response to the Worms DC Expansion Pack news, it’s made my day. Can’t wait till August 7th for you all to get your hands on it. We couldn’t celebrate Worms’ 30th anniversary without celebrating the Amiga which made it all possible.

32 years ago today Commodore went bankrupt. It broke my heart at the time, without the Amiga I would never have achieved my dream. It opened doors in the industry for so many people. Here’s to all the crazy, passionate people that gave us the most beloved computer ever made 🍻

The first review of Worms, in CU Amiga. They were big fans of the game. When we first showed them it, they kept the power on in their offices over the weekend so they could continue playing on the Monday after we had taken the disks away 💾

Worms x Llamasoft Thanks to Jeff Minter. Custom level by P-A Gustafsson. Regarding the 1.5 update sadly my mum passed away in January, and also going back to 30 year old code has proved trickier than I thought. But I’m making steady progress again, and will update you all soon.
