Graeme Richardson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the computer game author. For others named Graeme or Graham Richardson, see Graeme Richardson (disambiguation).

Graeme Richardson is a computer game author known in the Acorn/RISC OS market for a number of early BBC Micro and Acorn Archimedes games published by The Fourth Dimension.

Nevryon, an R-Type clone, was published in 1990 to great acclaim by most of the magazines at the time.

Following the success of Nevryon, Richardson developed Enter the Realm another sideways-scrolling shootemup, superficially resembling a Ghouls'n'Ghosts clone. However, this new game did not feature any of the platforming aspects of GnG, instead locking the player into left/right movement.

The later sequel to Nevryon, Technodream, was published by Superior Software. A number of months prior to Technodream's release it had been advertised by 4D under the title 'Nevryon 2: Technodream'. However, the prefix had to be dropped following the change of publishers.

Spobbleoid (a block-pushing puzzle game) was released shortly after, and marked Richardson's return to 4D as a publisher.

Graeme continued to work in the computer games industry originally for Krisalis, before moving away from the Acorn market and joining Infogrames and more recently Eurocom.
