Visions of the Impossible were a group of programmers that produced
various games, demos and utilites for RISC OS in the 90s, with their most
well known releases being Sunburst and Super Foul Egg
VotI team leader Nathan Atkinson is joining us to talk about their history
and tell us some behind the scenes stories. This will include details of
how they came to port The Bitmap Brothers classic Chaos Engine to RISC OS,
and going in the other direction with the port of Starfighter 3000 to the
3DO console.
There will also be a look at some of the products that didn't quite make
it, such as Simisu San and racer Eat my Dust, the final unfinished game
before VotI closed down in 2002. Plus there will be info about the project
they were working on with Acorn, provisionally titled DeathRacer 4000,
before it all went bad :-(

on Coral Street) and public transport (recommended!) are on the website:
