So the company I work for got bought over, and redundancies ensued, during the clean out the former owner said to me
"Michael, you've heard of Steve Jackson yeah?"
After establishing he meant the English Steve Jackson and not the American one, he told me how they once did a bit of work for the man way way back, although it never came to fruition, Steve asked them to prototype an interactive voice 'mobile gaming' system, complete with voice commands and so on.
He threw me a disk with some images of a brochure they used for the pitch to some investors. He's still trying to find the original audio files used in the system, but no luck so far.
But here's the images for anyone who might get a kick out of this thing. The eagle eyed among you might recognise the game's area code as Ireland (353), apparently this was to extend the original F.I.S.T. to outside of GB and aimed at the booming mobile phone market.
