Running the music division alongside – we were the home studio PC of choice – so working closely with the varied likes of Chesney Hawkes, Fat Boy Slim and Captain Sensible. Starting ARC, a publisher also selling Amiga and PC versions of the games, so could not be officially Atari recognised, though 100% Atari funded. Putting together the games packs for the ST.

What was it like working for Atari and what is your fondest memory of working for this iconic company? A publisher I was selling these to asked me to go and work for them and so it started there.

My very first job was selling course books to students at Reading University, and one of my departments was Home Computing, which at the time was a single shelf of books, but quickly built up to an entire bay. The ST, the Lynx, the Jaguar, were all under his remit at one point and he dropped by to answer our questions in one of the most eyeopening interviews we’ve ever had.ĭarryl, your track record in the business is well known, but how exactly did you get the opportunity to enter the video game industry in the first place?
