Radio Show Idea #3 - The Martin Galway story

Chris Abbott · Post by **Chris Abbott** » 28/02/2004 - 21:20

(maybe use Project Galway tracks for some of these this)

Another obvious one

Martin Galway starts programming BBC Music while in college
Just out of college, starts programming doing freelance work for Chris Roberts (later Origin founder) - (Crazee Rider on BBC), popped into Ocean through seeing advert, hired for freelance work (Daley Thompson's Decathlon), then Roland's Rat Race.

Helicopter Jagd (first game to use PWM, delayed unfortunately until everyone was using it) - use Jogeir's version
Ocean Loader
Hypersports (not embarrassing, Craig, it's a classic!!)
Rambo
Interview in Zzap (admits being inspired by Level 42, Tangerine Dream, JMJ, Depech Mode, Thomas Dolby and for guitasrs, Dave Gilmour, Van Halen and Brian May
Pushing the SID chip
*Martin accidentally discovers filter sweeps for Miami Vice *
Martin builds filter support into Driver
Streethawk first Galway game to use filters properly
Sensible Software stuff
-> Origin, Times of lore
---> Wing Commander
Last 8-bit Galway tune, Ultima Runes of Virtue.

Heavily covered by other artists (Clatterbox, 14-Zero-Zero)

At least the timeline would be useful

Should I do it then? Chris?

Anyone can do these ideas: they're not mine any more

OK, I'll give it a try then

Maybe you can talk Martin into some interview snippets?

Marcel was saying the exact same thing

I'll try...

Hey, if Marcel does the Jarre show maybe he can get him to do the same... Ehhh.. Well, it's a thought...

You could ask Andreas WallstrÃƒÂ¶m if he has anything useful aswell. Didn't he walk around recording interviews during BIT 1?

I can probably set up a phone interview between Lars and Martin.

That would be great... Need to buy one of those calling cards though
