For historical interest, here's his correspondence to me (actually he
contacted me, rather than the other way round - I had forgotten that
detail):

Hi mate - about a year ago you posted this thread:
http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=10008

I realise it was a long time ago, but I just googled and came across
it.
In your list you have the game:

Gorm v1.40 (1994)(Archimedes World)

Well.. I wrote that :) As Arc World distributed it, they officially
held
the copyright, but they are no more. Not sure legally how it stands,
but I
have no objection with you distributing it if you want.
Do you have a copy? Would be fascinating to see what my programming
was
like 14 years ago!

Kind regards

Chris

I replied, telling him I loved Gorm. He responded once again:

Hi Jason,

Thats cool - didn't realise anyone really got into the game, glad to
hear
it was fun! All programmed with good old BBC BASIC.. Don't know if you
ever saw the full 2-part solution in Archimedes World that I wrote, I
don't think I have those back issues any more, and the electronic
version
has long since been lost :(

I'm in London now, working as a developer for a web agency, but I long
for
the days I used to be able to work away on little projects and get
them
onto cover disks! Though the pay back then wasn't so good - Arc World
gave
me the not-so-generous sum of £40 for the entire game and complained
that
the game was getting too big - the reason behind the pictures being
simple
black & white I seem to remember!
Making me feel all nostalgic :)

Cheers

Chris
