Radio Show idea #2 - The Rob Hubbard story

[Chris Abbott]

Well, it's an obvious idea really.

- Up, Up and away
- Story didn't begin in 1983
- bands, music preparation (maybe interview snippets?)-
- Bought C64 on advice of electronics magazine that recommended the C64 as the best
- First breaks (Synth Sample, Thing on a Spring, Confuzion, Action Biker)
- Monty on the Run ZZAP review
- Rob becomes a star
* change of driver, becomes experimental
Sanxion
WAR
Knucklebusters
Spellbound
Kentilla
etc
* change of style *
Star Paws
Bangkok Knights
I Ball
Rob frustrated: borrows sample techniques from Simon Nicol (Mega Apocalypse)
Skate or Die
Arcade Classics
