Dave Perry was a creator of and co-commentator on the UK computer and video games television shows GamesMaster and Games World.
Calling himself "The GamesAnimal", Dave Perry became famous for wearing bandanas, and for boasting of his video gaming prowess.
He was responsible for launching games magazines, including Games World, Play, PowerStation, X-Gen, the largest selling unofficial Playstation magazine of all-time[citation needed] - STATION and the UK's first console magazine with CD covermount[citation needed], Mega Power. In 1999 he launched his own publishing company Predator[citation needed].
In 1996 he was voted one of Britain's 50 most eligible bachelors by Company Magazine[citation needed]. In this article his age was given as 28 indicating that he was born in 1968.
After losing a Super Mario 64 competition on GamesMaster, he was furious and alleged that his opponent had been given three months to practice on a game not yet released in the UK, while he had been told a 'neutral' game would be used in the final.
