Welcome to version 2.0 of my portfolio site - now in glorious CSS!
As you've probably gathered by now, my name is Matt Nicholson, and I'm an aspiring computer game designer and 3D modeller. In 2004 I successfully completed a master's degree in Computer Games technology at Liverpool John Moores University, and I'm now trying to update my portfolio with a view to securing a slightly more creative job than I have right now.
I've been obsessed with computer games since being bought a 48k ZX Spectrum+ for christmas circa 1986. My favourite computer game of all time is the Spectrum version of Laser Squad - a particularly fine turn-based strategy game that sowed the seeds for the later X-Com/UFO games.
When I'm not getting misty-eyed and nostalgic over 8-bit anachronisms, I try to work on a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 2004, based on iconic british comic strip Strontium Dog. Sometimes I even update the website.
I'm also a fan of comics in general, rating 2000AD, The Sandman and pretty much anything by Alan Moore very highly indeed.
