Game creator/programmer Mike Singleton whose credtis include two of my all time favorites Lords of Midnight and Midwinter.
His creations certainly helped mold me into the geek I am today. I spent many  a happy hour just blissfully skiing across the landscape and crashing hang gliders in Midwinter.

Lords of Midnight and Doomdarks Revenge were a must for any speccy owner.

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

Character actor John Clive died after a short illness at the age of 79



Never a star but always memorable in things like Clockwork Orange and The Italian Job
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

Sad to hear about John Clive and the Lords of Midnight creator Mike Singleton. I used to play Lords with my dear departed Pa on out trusty spectrum.  :(



The Justice department has a good re-education programme-it's called five to ten in the cubes.

Yes, sad to hear that John Clive has died. One of my earliest Telly faves was watching Roberts Robots.

I can just remember watching that as a kid.

I think the fourth robot along in the clip is Christopher Biggins.
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

I am shocked, only 60!

Sad news, as it's bringing our mortality ever closer when you see some of the ages in this thread

Aye, the titular star in fact, as he also was in Our Karl's Pathfinder. As a huge fan of LotM I always kept an eye out for him, sorry to see this.
