Mainly an Imagine/Ocean coder, and he was over at the Liverpool software house to work on the ill-fated Bandersnatch.
Anyway, he's up next in these polls and I reckon his games softography for the Speccy looks like this:
Airborne Ranger by MicroProse
Cosmic Wartoad by Ocean
Frankie Goes To Hollywood by Ocean
Galivan - Cosmo Police by Imagine
Gift From The Gods by Ocean
Molar Maul by Imagine
Quondam by Ocean
Spaced Out by Firebird
Stonkers by Imagine
Zzoom by Imagine
Let me know of any errors before I start the poll next week.

Frankie is his finest hour imo, although I had a lot of fun with John's early games at Imagine

Stonkers is a classic. Is it the first RTS?
Re: Devfinitive Edition (John Gibson): discussion
And Zzoom. But yeah, Frankies the best one.
I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

It’s a nice reminder of the great games he made, especially after he passed away last year.
I always had a real soft spot for Molar Maul, quite a unique game!

Indeed, but as others pointed out when I mentioned it in the clip from the rubber keyed wonder documentary, it wasn't the first tooth cleaning simulator!

possibly, quite a unique design for the early 80s
