About David Braben, taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David John Braben (born 1964, Basford, Nottingham) is a British computer programmer, best known for co-writing Elite, a hugely popular and influential space trading computer game, in the early 1980s.

Elite was written in conjunction with Ian Bell while both were undergraduate students at Cambridge University. Another seminal game written by Braben was Zarch for the Acorn Archimedes (later released on some other platforms as Virus), which was one of the first true "solid" 3D games.

After Zarch, Braben went on to found Frontier Developments, a games development company whose first project was a sequel to Elite named Frontier. Braben is still the Chairman and part owner of the company, whose recent projects have included RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, games based on the Wallace & Gromit franchise and the platformer LostWinds, which was a launch title on Nintendo's WiiWare download service.[1]

As of July 2006, David Braben is currently working on a game called The Outsider with Frontier Developments. As said in a GameSpot interview[2], he is planning to start working on Elite 4 - as a space MMORPG game - as soon as The Outsider is gold. Braben said explicitly that this title is of a special value to him.

He married Katharin Dickinson in May 1993 in Cambridge.

Gott, was ist diese Moderatorin inkompetent gewesen. Genial, wie Manfred Kleimann (ASM) sie damals wegen Archipelagos auflaufen lassen hat.

Der Typ ist echt genial. Und er hatte recht. Die Moderatorin ist echt fürn Arsch!

Thanks. Virus for amiga remains my favourite game of all times. I remember how I passed the "David Braben" level, and after that I started getting comments like "How you did it?" for high scores.
