Robin Clarke is part of the first generation to have grown up with computer games as their primary artistic interest. He spent his formative years playing games on the ZX Spectrum, Master System, Mega Drive and PC (so nostalgic paeans to Amiga, SNES, N64 and psOne games are going to be thin on the ground I’m afraid). For most of the last decade he has worked in the games industry, while continuing to play, explore, design and write about games in his spare time.

He lives in London and spends too much time on RLLMUK Forum, Everything2, ETQW and Facebook. He likes cyberpunk, absurdist humour, robots, monkeys and meats. His name works in the Mickey Mouse Club song.

The website www.citystate.co.uk was established on January 1st, 2006 to provide a central repository for various musings about games, some of which were previously published elsewhere. It’s getting there, slowly.
