The Classic Adventurer: Written and designed by Mark James Hardisty About the author: Mark James Hardisty is from Sheffield. His weekly pilgrimage to Just Micro as a child left him with an indelible love for Gremlin Graphics. You can find Mark on X at @hardistymark, where he tweets about nerdy stuff, text adventures, getting kids coding, The Cannonball Run, and his favourite game - Elite on the Acorn Electron. My work is dedicated to: My wonderful family – my mum Val, my beautiful wife Helen, and daughters Amelia Rose and Kitty Mae. And to Fergus McNeill, a genius, and one of the kindest and humblest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you for The Big Sleaze.
