Up to a couple of years ago, maybe a bit more, Ben Vost was editor of 3D World magazine. He moved to that when all the Amiga mags disappeared. Same company I think (Future Publishing).
After a year or so with 3DW, he posted here or on another site that he was giving away all his Amiga stuff to anyone who wanted it. I had the impression he was leaving the UK.
As to AF's Blizzard 1260 compo, I believe the release of Alien Breed 3D (?) set the scene for it. I remember they wanted game designs based on a character called Reynolds, sole survivor of an alien attack.
I remember that bit 'cos I wrote a game scenario about what he did next. I still have it somewhere. I spent weeks designing aliens and weapons and like hundreds of other people, sent it in to AF hoping to win the Blizzard. It as worth a fortune at the time.
Then it all went quiet. Months passed and AF didn't utter a peep. Never did. What a swiz!
