Michael Stuart Follin is a former computer game programmer, working until the late 1990s.
The titles included highly rated arcade conversions of Bubble Bobble[1] and Ghouls 'n Ghosts,[2] as well as the innovative The Sentinel,[3] one of the first games on the Spectrum to feature true 3D graphics.
In CRASH issue 59, Follin cited Knight Lore, Codename MAT and Pentagram as video game classics, with Jonathan Smith as his favorite programmer.
Follin's Spectrum conversion of The Sentinel was considered by fellow programmers as one of the top five classic games on that platform.
[5] He was subsequently ordained at Liverpool Cathedral,[6] and as of 2010 is the vicar at St Peter's, a small Anglican church in Maghull, Merseyside.
