FIVE TRUE STUART FACTS
 

Stuart first entered the world of videogaming in 1977, when he won a home Pong console in a competition he didn't enter held in a town he hadn't visited.

Stuart was the UK's National Videogames Champion in 1988 (having previously won the Scottish title), and a member of the UK's winning European Videogame Championship team in Paris in 1990, subsequently retiring from competition undefeated to give everyone else a chance.

In addition to his journalistic career, Stuart was Development Manager at Sensible Software during 1994 and 1995, overseeing the development of the chart-topping games Cannon Fodder 2 (for which he designed most of the levels) and Sensible World Of Soccer.

Stuart owns approximately 36,000 video games.

Stuart lives in Bath, England with his pet rat Ghostface Killa. She's very pretty, but as fat as a truck.
