Mike Follin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike Follin was, until the late 1990s, a computer game programmer. Amongst the companies at which he worked was Software Creations, where he worked on games for the ZX Spectrum, including highly rated arcade conversions of Bubble Bobble[1] and Ghouls 'n Ghosts,[2] as well as the innovative The Sentinel,[3] one of the first games on the Spectrum to feature true 3D graphics. The music for these games was often written by his brother Tim Follin.

In CRASH issue 59, Follin cited Knight Lore, Codename MAT and Pentagram as games he considered as classics, with Jonathan Smith as the programmer he admired the most. Follin's Spectrum conversion of The Sentinel was considered by fellow programmers as one of the top five classic games on that platform.[4]
