NAME:
Simon Dorn

COMPUNET ID:
Psymon

WHAT HE DID:
Demos. Around 20, maybe more. Three of them with Vandy. I also was involved with a team of games hackers called The Data Department. I used to write the intro screens to the hacks. Programming around one demo every two weeks, I made sure there was plenty of interesting demos on Compunet.

CLAIM TO COMPUNET FAME:
Well I guess ZZap 64 reviewing my demo in issue 26 June 198, this was the beginning of the end. After gaining this recognition, I decided to finish with demo writing and start writing games. I applied to many companies including Ocean and Martech. However none of them needed my talent at that time.

WHAT'S HE UP TO NOW:
Well I am a Technical Support analyst for a company in Essex. These days I am not into programming any more. It would be nice to have the time to. I am however into learning new languages. At the moment I am learning Russian. Last year I was travelling the world. Going to Moscow was one of the best things I had ever done. Very soon I will return.

OTHER STUFF:
I still own a Commodore 64 and tape deck. But does anyone know how long the tapes keep working?

TOP THREE FAVOURITE PROGRAMS/HARDWARE:
Has to be Napster MP3 music at its best. Then comes my 4800DPI scanner. I just love messing around with pictures. Photostyler has to be the best program for messing with pictures. Keep it simple guys.

BETWEEN WHICH DATES WERE YOU A MEMBER OF COMPUNET:
