Subject: Re: [Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy] Anyone heard of either of these?

""wasn't they supposed to be mock photos? I saw one in a sinclair mag
back in the eighties (he was behind a cage or something iirc looking
rather err mad really!). But it was always said that these wern't
really him, just publicity by Software Projects???""
This is news to me. Who said it wasn't him? Unless it was the
magazines I'd ignore it outright, since the public is given to
speculating about daft things
I just spent a moment flicking back and forth between various photos
I have of Matt. The one of Matt behind the gates and one from 2001,
showing him with an "evil villain" moustache and beard, are clearly
the same bloke with a new hair-do and some face fur, so either they
dug out the same model or it's the real deal
""I've been to that website (about a year ago, i think!), but i could
run a site and say i was matt smith!
I think people who knew Matt back in the eighties have confirmed that
this is our man, but I'd have to go and check that
""why? :-/ i don't think anyone would find that offensive! Think i'll
go on his web site and be brave and email him:)""
I'm just not one for approaching people who I don't know and asking
things of them. It doesn't help that Matt is one of my cult icons
