I interviewed Stephen Cargill for Antstream Arcade about his first big Speccy game, Sir Lancelot by Melbourne House.

Nice interview. I was writing with Stephen Cargill (probably) about 15 years ago, with the intention to get an interview with him into Retro Gamer Magazine, but as far as I remember - although he said "yes" he never really seemed that interested, so I never pushed the agenda further.

But it's a great little game and certainly one of the best 16K games ever - SO much playability in such a little space. Amazing!

And it being a favorite of mine, Sir Lancelot was also the first game I ever remade. It was my first game ever and I remade it (afair) in 5 weeks for the 'Retro Remakes Competition' in 2004 where it came in as #11 out of 76 entries. Just as hard as the original, lol (I wish I'd made it easier) :oops:

... wow, 19 years ago :shock:

Nice interview, and it got me to give Sir Lancelot a try again. Level 4 baby!

It must be very odd, getting asked about something you wrote when you were 17, all these years later.
