Legendary British game developer whose career spanned a 20 year period and included groundbreaking simulations of Formula Three and Formula One, including arguably the first ever racing sim: Revs (1984).
Most famous for his Grand Prix series that were published under the MicroProse label until 2000, his career unceremoniously ended when his studio was shut down by Infogrames and the Xbox version of Grand Prix 4 cancelled just prior to release.
Join Jon Denton, Tim Wheatley, Simon Croft and guest(s) as they discuss sim racing and racing games past, present and future.
RR is a clone of Atari’s Night Driver or Dr Reiner Foerst’s Nurburgring, but was the first home simulator to include both an attempt at a 3D cockpit view and simulation of basic features like changing gears. Those features were added to the Commodore C-64 home release of Night Driver a year later.
