Wilf! How you doing, Man? Look, it's WILF everybody! Mackoman here (ignore the devious "Marlon" ploy), the guy whom you helped survive Selby. Also one of Electrek's play-testers, ideas peeps and tea-drinkers, doncherknow.
I still have fond memories of your Dragon 32 versions of "Hunchback" and "Phoenix", remember them? What about your rather splendid ZX81 version of Frogger (complete with "moterway" spelling mistake)?
As for Pob tweaking a new version of Electrek; awesome news, been after a full version for years. I do remember finding some of Doobury's later levels impossible to complete back in the day, I'd just assumed it was me being a bit crap or something.
Life in Leeds treating you well? Checked out your Myspace page and it was cool to here your dulcet tones after all this time, though you still sound far too posh for a Selby boy. Not been to the Wendy-house myself for about two years, must sort that. Drop me an email sometime, Man,
retrofreak90@hotmail.com.
*Edit* Just checked out the Youtube Electrek vids and I actually laughed out loud (or "LOL'ed" as I believe the yoof call it) at the mention of the one-bar electric fire we used to huddle around at the castle. Simpler times...
FINAL EDIT (honest, Guv)
Wilf, at the risk of stirring up a hornet's nest here, does Chris's rather spiffy version of 'Attack of the Mutant Camels' exist anywhere? I know it was never released.
