David Crookes began his career as a journalist in 1994 as a freelance writer for Amstrad Action. He has since written and worked for regional newspapers, The Independent, BBC Radio 5 Live, gamesTM, Wireframe, and Retro Gamer, among many others.

Andrew Gillett grew up with early computers such as the ZX Spectrum, and was writing simple programs from the age of five.
