He is the founder of video game developer Llamasoft and has created dozens of games during his career, which began in 1981 with games for the ZX80.

Many of his programs also feature something of a psychedelic element, as in some of the earliest "light synthesizer" programs including Trip-a-Tron. Read more on Wikipedia
