Load 179 - on sale 22 March 2018Radar> Paul Woakes - A Legend Passes
I only found out about this through the magazine and I'm genuinely sad about Paul's passing. He created the wonderful Mercenary, my favourite game on the Commodore 64. Fast vector graphics, a large area to explore, funny features (who can forget the ultra-fast cheese ship? ) and exciting gameplay. Thanks for the great time, Paul .> Two-Point Hospital, C64 music remixes
