Between 1986 and 1999 Sensible Software produced some of the most fondly-remembered games ever to grace a home computer. Classics such as Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder and Wizball embodied not only the team’s meticulous focus on gameplay but also its unique humour and irreverent, anarchic approach.

The book chronicles the rise of Sensible from its humble C64 beginnings, through its million-selling Amiga heyday in the early ’90s, to its ultimate demise at the hands of the console revolution. Guided by games media legend Gary Penn, it weaves together intimate interviews with Jon Hare and pivotal Sensible team members, as well as industry luminaries such as Martin Galway, Peter Molyneux and Gary Whitta.
