I was also a GAC fan rather than the Quill. I remember back in 1986 spending hours creating an adventure game based on my home town and characters from my childhood whilst listening to Big Country, Sam Cooke, and The Housemartins over and over again.
GAC was an amazing piece of software. Interesting anecdote, Sean Ellis, who created it, was a struggling university student at the time, so couldn't even afford a Z80 assembler, so it was written entirely in hex, he memorised the Z80 instruction codes in hex and typed them all in by hand!
@@hazy33 The way he always talks about himself, the way he belittles anyone who disagrees with him, all his predictable PC nonsense, the way he has advocated censorship and champions the BBC "misinformation officer", his steadfast support of lockdowns and medical tyranny whilst simultaneously claiming to support the poorest in society. "Get the bloody jab" I remember him saying. I concede however that I do remember him being mildly amusing in a Sky News interview with Kay Burley yonks ago.
@@keithskegwin I've not listened to his radio show but do watch the YT clips they post. He seems to let the callers hang themselves by their own ludicrous views. What do you mean specifically by "PC nonsense" and "medical tyranny"?
@@hazy33 I rang up once, not even on a particularly controversial topic. It wasn't even an argument, but my view didn't go along with his narrative. After a few words, he muted me, whilst talking over me, putting words in my mouth and misrepresenting my point. It seemed really dishonest behaviour from him. I'd never ring again after that, and it opened my eyes up to how he works. It's easy to appear on top of everything whilst muting people and misrepresenting people. I've not listened to him since.
I wish I known about the Goblin. I could never commit enough time to finish one Game. I came close with a game called Acheton on the BBC Micros but that was it. Maybe I did know about the Goblin but didn't have 20p to spare.

Already thought he was amazing. This just adds to it. Thanks Ant & Nic.
My arse is more amazing than this establishment stooge. A real life Alan partridge
