Hi All,

Well, I've finally become an official Yarozer! For those who have never
heard of me (99%...), I was on the same games programming course as a
certain Robert Swan, and managed to get my demo 'Brain Dead' on the official
Sony ECTS'98 demo disk. I was a bit pissed off that the bloody thing never
worked on it... Mind you, I got awarded 4 stars in that German magazine
review.

Anyway, I was recently awarded a prize by Middlesex Uni for my efforts,
jointly with Harvey Cotton (another Yarozer), and lo and behold a nice matt
black playstation arrives in my lounge. Could I possibly be the last
official Yarozer to join in this millenium?

I've also been quoted in the supplement of the latest issue of Edge - two
lines of complete b*ll*x, but my at least my name is in bold type!
I've kind of drifted out of touch with this stuff since last September, as
I've been doing medical VR at Uni, but now I've got my Yaroze the bug has
definitely bitten again. And just to top it all, I've got myself a job at
Criterion Software starting in a few weeks.

I intend to put a Yaroze web site up when I have the time, but in the
meantime you can check out screenshots of my demos on part of my web site at
    www.sun.mdx.ac.uk/~oliver3
and look out for Brain Dead 2000 !!! ;)

That was a bit short and sweet, but I've been playing Driver all weekend.
Most excellent.
Cheers,
Olly
