## Game development

Jools' gaming career spanned some 20 years, starting in the early days of gaming "messing around" with machine code on the 6502-based [Oric 1](/source/Oric_1) and has programmed almost every home computer and console since.

The most prominent game of his career is *[Cannon Fodder](/source/Cannon_Fodder_(video_game))*, which he co-designed and programmed. *[Cannon Fodder 2](/source/Cannon_Fodder_2)* followed and, later in his career, he converted it onto the [Game Boy](/source/Game_Boy) platform (a project he initiated). This conversion included an [FMV](/source/Full_motion_video) player, which he both designed and programmed, capable of streaming digital video and audio. The Game Boy conversion received a BAFTA nomination for sound and high review scores, including 93% from *Official Nintendo Magazine* and 96% from *[Nintendo Power](/source/Nintendo_Power)*.
