    Person » credited in 5 games

    Short summary describing this person.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    Matthew became something of a cult figure due to the combination of his impact on the burgeoning home computer scene, and self imposted exit. 
     
    Magazines ran adverts for a further game, Attack of the Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens From Mars, but this was never released. 
     
    In interview, Matthew has expressed unhappiness with violence in games, and even went as far as being critical of playing games at all.  Having experimented with alternate lifestyles including joining a commune, Matthew has had some involvement with the games scene in recent years.
