This video features all the games from the very skilled programmer Don Priestley. Until 1979, Don Priestley was a teacher. In 1981 both he and his son enrolled in a Pascal course at night school. Although his son dropped out, he carried on. One of his early programs was an adaptation of Conway’s Game of Life which was converted to a newly purchased Sinclair ZX81.
His first commercial game was The Damsel and the Beast, inspired by a program called Mugwump and published by Bug-Byte. Further ZX81 games written freelance were Dictator (a successful strategy game later ported to the Spectrum) and Mazogs (which was later rewritten for the Spectrum as Maziacs).
Priestley joined DK’Tronics as a director in March 1983. There he developed 3D Tanx, which was critically well-received and his most successful game. It sold around 5000 copies per month for 15 months
