This and that!

Journal Entry: Fri Dec 26, 2008, 2:11 PM
This and that!



I hope everyone had a great Christmas and are having a great holiday!

Thank you to everyone who has fav'd my work recently, I'm sorry but I don't have the time to thank everyone individually but I truly appreciate your support!

Would anyone like a feature, it's seems so long since I offered this! If you would just comment to this journal with a link to the picture you'd like featured, if you like you can also include a link to someone else's picture you like as well as your own!

Anyone any good at maths? Here's a little puzzle, just make 24 using only the numbers 1,3,4 and 6. Each number must be used once and only once and they cannot be combined to make 13 or 46 or anything like that! You can only use the four basic operators +,-,* and /.

I saw my brother at Christmas, quite a rare event, and he informed me that quite a few people he works with know me as they played my old games! This was a bit of a surprise to me as I haven't received any royalties since dinosaurs roamed the Earth! Anyway I did a bit of googling and you can download my games all over the place, here's a link [link]^Derek+Brewster$&loadpics=1
Oddly, they list some of my really obscure ones that I was embarrassed about even then but a lot of others are missing! Codename Mat even has a Wikipedia entry [link] . I'd love to know who wrote that as hardly anyone knew that working title stuff.
This was quite a weird trip down memory lane and quite frightening how long ago it all was!
One final bit of history if anyone has got down this far!
We actually got sued by paramount pictured for using the Star Trek name although we just changed the name and that was the end of it!
I set up the software house Zeppelin Games which I ran for a little ove a year before selling out! It later became Merit Studios and is now Eutechnyx. Last time I checked their website I appear to have been deleted from the company history, well that's life!
