    "Digital Reality is a Hungarian game development company. Its founding core team started to work together under the name of Amnesty Design in 1994 and its first game, Reunion was released to the Commodore Amiga and IBM PC. Later, in 1997, the company name was changed to Digital Reality and the work began on the Imperium Galactica series. Following a series of games that include Haegemonia and Desert Rats vs Arfika Korps for various publishers, Digital Reality, became a self-publishing company on the domestic market in 2002."

    Haven't they suffered enough!? Quite what use that fucking dimwit will be to them I can't imagine?

    Can anyone here speak Hungarian?

    I remember taking a Game Boy Color demo to a software company, only to be told they'd seen it before.

    As it turns out, PocketStudios, whom I'd been in contact with, were touting one of the demos I'd sent to them as their own work... lovely...

    Last I heard Mr Iles was consulting for an online sports/gambling company and was putting together a proposal for them.

    WHAT???

    The pocketstudios thread rises from the dead and then gets edited away?

    Surely it can't be that libelous?

    He was speaking at THIS conference on Friday:

    http://www.indie-games-collective.com/

    See 12:30pm on Friday.

    His talk wasn't that bad actually. Kind of heard it all before though, and a lot of people there didn't really want to hear lots of business talk.

    Was anyone else there from these forums?
