Fergus McNeill

He has designed and created games since the early 1980s, working with companies such as CRL, Silversoft, Macmillan Group, Activision, SCi Eidos and EA.

Initially, these were sold by mail-order under the Delta 4 brand, before publishing deals with CRL and Silversoft brought the titles to a larger audience.

This led to McNeill working with Terry Pratchett to create the first Discworld game[5] and, later on, adapting Murder off Miami by Dennis Wheatley.

[6] After an affiliate label deal with Activision,[7] McNeill set up a new studio for SCi in Southampton, focusing on PC games.

[8] After SCi, he moved to Smoking Gun Productions, where he worked on a range of football management titles and interactive DVD games,[9] before joining InfoSpace / IOMO as studio director in 2005.
