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.
