IIRC Software Projects got into some amount of hot water for using the NCB (National Coal Board) logo on the boot at the lower left in this image. I seem to recall a conversation w/Alan Maton (Software Projects MD) about this when I mentioned to him that I’d done my basic underground training at various South Yorkshire pits, in a previous life. IDK if anything came of it or if the image was ever adjusted because of this. #manicminer #ncb #nationalcoalboard #sinclairzxspectrum #zxspectrum

Over on my blog I started a series of biographical (and other retro game dev related) posts. I’ve previously posted links to these on my now defunct #birdsite page but it feels appropriate to build up links to some of this content here.
My very first job in the games industry was at Software Projects in 1984 where I worked on Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy for the Amstrad CPC computers. You can read about what that was like here:
