Programmer?

Does anyone know if Mel Croucher actually programmed any of the Automata games or whether he just ran the company? -- Zagrebo 12:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


He never coded anything, but he did everything else, like the concept, game design, graphics, music and publicity.

Is there a source I can cite this information from? I'd like to mention that in the article and the articles for some of the games he was involved in but I'd need a source. --Zagrebo 20:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

What platform were his 1970s games for?

This was before the Sinclair ZX80, ZX81 and Spectrum existed, but it must have been something that used tape (since they were radio-broadcast). I contacted him but got no response. Any ideas? 86.165.219.56 (talk) 19:54, 17 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

It looks like it was Commodore PET software over Radio Victory, starting in 1977.[1][2] Perhaps it was others too. StrayBolt (talk) 23:09, 17 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
