After learning to program on
the ZX80 and ZX81, Mike Singleton graduated to the Spectrum
and produced some of the best role-playing/strategy games
ever seen on a home computer. His finest hour was undoubtedly
the Midnight series, Lords of Midnight and Doomsdark's
Revenge (it was originally intended that there would be
a third installment, but it never came to fruition). Both
games played out on a massive scale - in Doomdark's
case, 6,000 locations and 128 characters, almost all of which
the player could control.
Mike Singleton moved on to
the 16-bit machines in the late 1980s, producing the classic
Midwinter trilogy of games. In a tribute to the longevity
of his first big hit, in 1995 he produced a remake of Lords
of Midnight. Unfortunately it was a seriously flawed game
and was not a major success.
