1989 - Butcher Hill Atari ST & Amiga

Butcher Hill was a videogame for various home formats. Developed by Imagitec Design and published by Gremlin Graphics. I helped out on the front end for the Atari ST and Amiga versions.

It's not great work but I've added this game project to my portfolio as it's my first ever published work. I did the font and the two trucks and the bit of grassy land they trundle over. I think I had picked up a computer mouse for the first time, about three weeks before I did these graphics.

As you can see, I made the fixed-width font badly. Back then I thought I had to fill the whole 16x15 pixel space with the letter forms. In my defense, there was no kerning back then so text looked ugly no matter what you did.
