Ian Watt question
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2025 9:06 pm
I have a straightforward "where did this info come from" question. The game Crypt of Gabon is listed both on CASA and the BBC Games Archive as by Ian Watt.

The book in question (GAMES BBC COMPUTERS PLAY) mentions Ian Watt in the "general credits" as people who wrote programs...

...but it doesn't have his name attached to the adventure itself in the book. Is there some other source to absolutely confirm that Ian Watt goes with that particular game? Is it mentioned in the other book the game is printed in, perhaps? (GAMES ELECTRON COMPUTERS PLAY) I don't have a copy of that one.
