ScuzzBlog: Diaries March 2023 Entry 2nd March 2023: Post 1: Archer Maclean. Archer Maclean. A short while back I discovered that Archer Maclean had died. It is always sad to hear of such losses but even more so when you consider the giant of a games designer this guy was. Archer was always a great voice for the gaming platforms and spoke with such a wealth of experience having grown up with the industry from its very beginning. Archer was a real enthusiast spending all his savings as a kid on computer kit. He was single minded about his passion and gave so much to this industry. I for one knew of him from my very early days and watched him grow with confidence giving us all games that were so well crafted. Founder of Awesome Developments and designer of Dropzone and International Karate, I guess for me his greatest contribution was Archer Maclean's Pool. I have played this game so so much. With the game Jimmy White's Snooker he provided a cube of chalk which although useless to the computer game, reminded us all of the passion this guy had to make our gaming realistic fun. Anyhoo, I took some pictures of my Jimmy White's Snooker box and spent a moment reflecting on Archer Maclean's life. He was a giant of the gaming world and will be sadly missed. Archer Maclean.
