I was told I was “on the chopping block” in my first job in games.
Chapter 5 of my memoir is now live.
This continues my time at Software Projects in 1984, with no real idea what I was doing and nobody there to tell me otherwise, learning fast as I went.
It includes a wiped Tatung Einstein boot disk and porting *Manic Miner* and *Jet Set Willy* without the original source code.
It also marks a turning point. Getting those first games shipped, and realizing I could actually do this.
Posting on a Saturday this time instead of the usual Monday. We’ll see how that goes.

Ordered filaments and rest of the electronics from botland have arrived. I'm firing up the printer tomorrow and will be finishing the PiSCSI for Mac SE.
