Press Coverage – Industry Hit With Shortage Of Programmers – Popular Computing Weekly, 10 July 1986

This feature, in PCW on 10 July 1986 includes a quote from our PR assistant Alison Beasley (and for once her name is spelled correctly). Mastertronic did not employ programmers and relied on freelancers, including many first-timers who simply sent in games on the off-chance we would like them.
