So it was him!!!

Didn't know where to put this: here or in the Staff forum? Anyway.
Look what I just read on http://www.c64hq.com
"1987 saw Ocean completely changing around with a fine set of releases, with Head Over Heels being a superb conversion from a Spectrum classic, and Wizball being an all time favourite for lots of people. The plot, the superb music, the whole concept was unique, and how Zzap! 64 never gave it a Gold Medal remains a mystery to this day. Well, it did until recently. Julian Rignall, who used to work at Zzap! 64 at the time, told me that it was Gary Penn (editor) that made the editorial decision not to grant it one."
(Article by Warren Pilkington)
So the rumours were true. It was him! Again!
My Zzap!64 period began when GP left (the first issue I owned was 27, the Wizball one) and I can safely say that I'm glad of that: reading his reviews now makes me say I disagree with him very often!
Now that I think of it, we didn't have a "favourite reviewer" thread for a while
Nor a "least favourite" one, for that matter. Mumble mumble...
