Well, he wrote International Karate (IK) (European title, don't remember
the title in USA - Championship Karate? - anyway, it was stopped in USA
because  Data East(?) thought it was a bit too similar to one of their
licences), and IK+ (all 3 done on the C64 too), and is reported to be
working on a snooker(or whatever you call it, billiard?, pool?) game for
the ST and Amiga.
All this as far and correct as I know.
