Paul Woakes was a games
programmer
in the
80s
and early
90s
. He is best remembered for the "Mercenary" series of games, the first of which appeared in
1985
for the Sinclair
ZX Spectrum
and other
8-bit
micros. This game was fairly revolutionary in that the player could explore the wire-frame environment in
first-person
perspective. Two
sequels
followed for the
Atari ST
and
Amiga
- "Damocles" and "Mercenary 3", which employed filled
vector graphics
, and gave the player more
freedom
to move around an entire
solar system
, exploring its
planets
and the cities on them. An enhanced
PC
version was in the works, but was shelved, and nothing has been heard of from Mr Woakes since. But still the Mercenary series holds a special place in the hearts of those who played it.
