Great story nonetheless, as a parent this is the kind of imagination that it's hard to come up with as a parent.

I do understand that your parents acted the way they did. As someone who grew up with games, I would have gone the extra mile to support the venture.

But am happy to hear that things worked out after all.

Thanks and you're right, particularly in 1991: games were still fairly niche back then, certainly in the UK, and absolutely not on the radar as a career choice for the vast majority of people.
