A true ZX Spectrum genius. Popeye amazed me, The Trap Door was his masterpiece. Flunky and Maziacs also left their mark. He did it all: code, graphics, sound… Worked late into the night with just coffee and biscuits. A master of unforgettable games. RIP

Sad news: programmer Don Priestley, best known for his cartoon-style games like Trap Door and Popeye, passed away late last year after a short illness. One of Don’s friends shared the news on a Facebook comment. RIP Don (1940-2024), your games shine on.
