Quick Facts Born, Occupation(s) ...

The first computer he bought was a ZX80 which had to be assembled by hand. At school he was a member of a computing club where he learnt the Algol 60 programming language. During the 1970s he added Cobol to his repertoire from a government funded training course. He went on to a programming job in the Civil Service. Turner was 30 when he decided to move into games development. His first game was written whilst he was still employed as a programmer and he handed his notice in when he received his first royalty cheque.[1]

He also wrote a series of articles for ZX Computing between August 1986 and January 1987, called The Professional Touch.[2] Andrew Hewson had previously written for the magazine but got too busy to do it and Turner replaced him.[3]
