An interview with Michael Boyd

Programmer of "Moonbase Alpha", "Decimator"
and many other titles for the SEGA SC-3000.

Date of Interview: April 2012
Interviewer: Andrew Kerr (Kerrjnr)
Pages: 5

We contacted Michael Boyd, who was kind enough to answer some questions about his history with the SEGA SC-3000 including his involvement with the New Zealand software market.

Here's the first question from the interview:

AK >

Let’s start with our standard opening question: Why a SEGA SC-3000 and not one of the other more popular computer systems of the time such as a Commodore, Spectrum or Apple?

MB >

My first computer was a Commodore Vic 20. I wanted a ZX81 but they had run out of stock locally. I wrote a game for the Vic 20 and tried to sell them through a local computer store, but it was a text adventure written in BASIC, and they weren't interested. I am not sure why I chose the Sega, but I think I saw the opportunity to write for a computer that wasn't well supported for software at the time.
