Matthew Smith Interview Manic Miner ZX Spectrum

Hehe , ten Matthew Smith nevyzera byt kompletny...

True pioneers !

Great video!

Did he become "very famous" back in the day? I was a 100% Speccy kid. I played Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy and had absolutely no idea who wrote them until much later in life when I got into "retro gaming"

I'm sure he was mentioned in magazines and such, but as a 10 year old I couldn't care less who wrote the games I was playing....

Not disputing his legendary status now, but I just don't remember any hero worship from that time personally.

Mat, I was a little bit older you at the time and I was very much aware of Matthew Smith's existence. There was a magazine around at the time called Crash (I think) which I would read and there were other Speccy / Computer games mags in which he'd get name-checked a lot. Kevin Toms (Football Manager) was another one who got name-checked alot (mostly by himself right enough) :)

PS. I am not a nerd :) I have a girfriend and everything.

No offend, Mathew looks like a perverted homo criminalist livin' on the street!

@murray821 Why hope not?

Do you wish someone to be an addict/junky?

Doing drugs doesnt make you an addict or a junky! Reckon he may smoke the odd bit though looking at those eyes.
