A new strategy
Who is Paul Rose?
Paul is probably better known as Mr Biffo – the creator of legendary teletext games magazine Digitiser. These days, he mostly writes his videogame ramblings over at Digitiser2000.com. If you want more Biffo in your eyes, you can catch him as the host of Digitizer The Show at www.bit.ly/biffo2000.
Do you remember a game called Shadowfire? It was a Spectrum game initially, point-and-click strategy, albeit without a mouse. It was incredibly tough, I never really felt I had a handle on it, and yet… it was released the year after teenage me lost two close family members. Oddly, it really helped me through that time.
