Andrew Braybrook is a software engineer, and former game programmer. He created video games such as Paradroid, Gribbly's Day Out, Fire and Ice, Uridium and Morpheus.[1] He also programmed the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST conversion of the arcade game Rainbow Islands.

[2]

Braybrook started out writing accounting programs for GEC Marconi using COBOL in 1979.[3] In his spare time he wrote games in BASIC for the ZX80, ZX81 and Dragon 32.[4] His first foray into professional games came while he was playing bass guitar in a rock band with Steve Turner. Steve was writing games for the ZX Spectrum in his spare time and decided to make his break into full-time games production by starting the company which went on to become Graftgold. A few months after its inception, Turner asked Braybrook to join him in September 1983. Braybrook was commissioned by the magazine Zzap!64 to write a diary detailing the making of the video game Paradroid.[5] This was followed by a subsequent diary published in the magazine about his game Morpheus.[6]

In 1986 Braybrook was voted Best Programmer of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards.[7]

From 1998 to July 2016 Braybrook worked as a senior software developer for Eurobase International. Since then he has worked as a freelance writer, programmer and game designer.[8]
