I was working as a computer programmer at the Open University when I launched Addictive Games

If the ZX81 had not been part of the launch, Addictive Games would have failed in 3 months 😱

The first Football Manager, on ZX81 and Video Genie/ TRS80, was written is this Milton Keynes top floor flat

Wembley was one of the inspirations for the game

It was a boardgame first created on the inside of cereal boxes
