INDUSTRY NEWS: DAVE PERRY EXPERIMENTING WITH STUBBLE
And judging by that look on his face’s he’s getting in the mood to do a bit of Wii development or perhaps something casual for the internet.
What’s happened to the other Dave Perry?

At a glance, he looks fairly happy, or possibly mid-yawn, or approaching vinegar strokes.
On closer inspection, check out his eyes, how tired does he look? He looks absolutely fucked, almost burnt out enough to be commenting here. Guess having to make games based on the shittier matrix movies will do that to a person.

Why is the right side of his face collapsing? I do hope it isn’t something serious, like a stroke.

You think he’s having a stroke? Maybe it’s vinegar strokes after all then.

I’ve no idea who this young chap is but can we assume, by the one yellow tooth, that David is a dirty, stinking, tabber?

You don’t know who Dave Perry is?! Why, he created Earth Worm Jim and . . . Earth Worm Jim 2. Then the shit Matrix games.
I think the other Dave Perry went on to become Billy Kane in the King of Fighters games.

Don’t forget Cool Spot.
(and that he was an ‘expert’ on Gamesmaster and he’s also a drink similar to cider but made from pears)

And Aladdin……

And Global Gladiators…

Actually, it might be lockjaw. Shame – he used to be mediocre.

Yes, well, I’m sure you appreciate my joke about him not being prolific wouldn’t have worked had I mentioned the many, many games of Dave Perry.
He also did something that had 9 in the title that was coming out for Saturn and then didn’t. I think. I could be getting that scenario confused with 99% of games released at that time.
EWJ 1 was actually quite good, in a weird way. A weird, almost broken and shoddy kind of way.

Apparently it’s *David* Perry, since he wants to distance himself from 90’s TV Superstar “Games-Animal” Dave Perry of GamesMaster fame. But it’s a close-run thing whether David or Dave is in fact the biggest wanker in the whole world.

I’d managed to forget all about Dave Perry and his bandana on GamesMaster, but now it’s all come flooding back.
David Perry is a decent chap in my book, I once emailed him asking for tips on getting into the games industry and he very kindly responded with a lot of helpful information, which was especially good of him since he was in the middle of getting ready for E3 ’97 at the time.

He’s slowly turning into a tramp. In the picture it looks like he’s asking for 10p.

@Rex Everything
He does appear to be. I can imagine that face asking me for 10p to get the bus home and that he swears he’ll give it back to me next week.
Just noticed, my wallpaper used to have the same pattern as on his shirt. That is, wallpaper from late 70s/early 80s.

Seriously, the right side of his face is in a terminal state of disrepair.
Medic!

Don’t forget Messiah and Wild 9 and MDK!
With regard to Dave Perry, I’m proud to report that I spent about a year repeatedly chopping down his wiki until it was just a useless shell of the ridiculousness that he posted about himself.

@James Castle.
You, Sir, are a real-life hero. I salute you.

The Animal always had a fetching bandana, a role model for any young aspiring gamesplayer. His tips and tricks served me well…if he’d been able to impart knowledge of the laydeez instead my cup* would never have been dry. I bet his cup* was never dry.
On an unrelated note, I’ve just read that article The Edge of Reason…that guy Langdell sounds like a right fnut (oh dear, will I get sued?).
*Cup meaning cock.

What’s Earth Worm Jim?
Sorry, I don’t know anything about video games – I saw the picture and thought that this was Sexy Executives.
