Remember Karen Gordon?
Remember Karen Gordon?
No? Take a look at the cover of issue #28 and maybe then you'll recall. And very nicely she agreed to answer some questions

Still getting replacement hosting sorted so this temporary IP address based reference will do for now...

Another visitor... stay awhile... stay forever!
Fascinating! - How did you realise it was Karen? - I presume she mentioned that her claim to fame when you were buying her stuff on eBay?
This excerpt puzzled me....
"I fell out with my C64 a few years back when I was nearly finishing writing my latest adventure game when my 16k Ram pack wobbled and I lost the lot."

How about asking her if she would like to be involved (somehow) with 108?

That's a really good interview! Great to see something different every now and then. Well done that Mayhem!

Yes a good read - I'm going to check out the cover next to see the ninja mystery too!
From a personal point of view I find it interesting how so many people like her once had games so dominate their childhood and yet now it's just a dim memory with no place in their lives today? Well, I suppose you could say that about many things - I often think people like us who 'never grew out of it' seem very much the exception!
[Edit] Oh I see on the cover, it must have been a picture of her that didn't look right so she got 'ninjad' and put on the knight! (another reason why she never got the original too no doubt)

Well, it's rather telling that she said she'd be holding Head and Heels, and they both look like they're looking upwards to someone. I agree - I reckon the original was her + those two characters, but Oli (who was one of the editorial team), probably didn't think such a cover would sell, and therefore reworked it.

Caught you peeking!
HI it's Karen here - thank you for your comments.
Since the article I have been sent a copy of the issue to autograph plus have received numerous very very nice and sometimes slightly weird emails. But mostly nice and very interesting.
The 16k ram pack - well guys you obviously have not got the knowledge I have.... unless I have memory loss...maybe it was the one on my ZX81 hee hee! See, old age catches up with us all.
Be assured that I DO still love computer games and I DO play them at every opportunity, I have a dancemat even. Problem is as you all will know or may find out, little children and high scores do NOT go hand in hand.
All the best to you folks and keep in touch, its great to hear what you are all up to
Karen
