Simon Byron
An industry veteran and current Sensible Soccer World Champion, Simon's background in games journalism saw him rise to the lofty heights of editor of The One, Britain's least-popular Amiga games magazine. He used to write the popular Byronicman column for leading games industry magazine Develop. When they fired him for one Peter Molyneux joke too far, he sought refuge within the confines of the OLL Studio, where no such standards apply. Simon lists his interests as Muse.
