People adore movie and music stars, and book writers etc and some of the stars are like gods for some fans.. but for me the real star is Matthew Smith..
I think its kind of funny that matthew once again vanish into the "video game myth"
It would be really awsome if he planning on a new game and just pops up one day as "before" ;) but naah.. don´t think so but I hope everything is fine with him wherever he is now! :D

long live matt-from-earth!

Funnily, that "Jet Set Willy" was in that music video RP posted a while ago. I guess Matty was some sort of god back in the day or something? That's his game IIRC, right?

So was Manic Miner... yes, Matthew wrote Jet Set Willy and Manic Miner, legendary games. So he's a god of old, yeah. :)

He is a God.. ;D

Seriously, Jet Set Willy was one of my favourite games. :) He also has many many fans.

None of us will ever be that famous...

Really? More than Funklord? He said he had twelve fans in his largest system.

So Our Lord is "Matt from Earth", is he? You aren't in league with the Angel, perchance? :)

It's a shame he doesn't seem to do games any more. (Besides a speedhack entry).

I'd love to see some new stuff from Matt. :)

You should have been in #allegro last year.. We had the high privilege of having him as a regular there until he vanished.

That's the last I know of him saying there (Ceniza (who was driven off #allegro by now) sent me his logs) - MattyMatt is Matthew Smith:

[12:07:59] <MattyMatt> i'm a road warrior
[12:08:09] <@MikeDX> so you are on cable now eh? 
[12:08:10] <@MikeDX> :)
[12:08:29] <MattyMatt> someone else's cable
[12:11:25] <@Tomasu> OMG Wellcome back!
[12:12:24] <MattyMatt> not back for good, just while my friend is away
[12:14:48] <MattyMatt> i don't even have a desk for my PC atm. i have to sit on the floor
[12:34:05] <@MattyMatt> lo Bob :)
[12:34:13] <@Bob--> what happened to you?
[12:34:16] <@Bob--> :)
[12:34:40] <@MattyMatt> i'm moving
[12:34:48] <@MattyMatt> the grass looked greener 
...
[13:08:41] <@MattyMatt> LrdMtrod, yes

That was some time in March I think. And he may have gotten back another time, not sure though. Some people were using his nick in the meantime.. or does someone have newer logs? Anyway, he's gone, so no point in coming to #allegro right now :P

No, he's been in since then.

Apr 25 12:36:49 <MattyMatt> i just popped in to say hello and declare my continued existence :)

Apr 25 12:37:47 <MattyMatt> i'm back in Wallasey. gawd I forgot how sucky this place is
Apr 25 12:38:36 <MattyMatt> i shoulda just visited for chrimbo then run back to Yorks.

Apr 25 12:45:59 <entheh> now, apparently, you are a multimillionaire living in a commune in Amsterdam, and you have changed your name to "Matty from Earth"
Apr 25 12:46:06 <entheh> according to Cat
Apr 25 12:46:36 <MattyMatt> hah, don't believe what you read in the papers

Yeah sort of.. but there are an explanation behind it.. he made (for me) the two best arcadegames in history, MM & JSW + he is a GOD..
