Life Is A Game tracks the fascinating life and successful career of legendary game developer Mev Dinc.
The story begins in a mountainous Black Sea village; his father left him and his mother when Mev was only six months old, and with no home and thrown into poverty, they were left to survive the harsh winters alone.
By the time he'd arrived in the UK in 1979, he had an English wife but couldn't speak a word of English. He then bought a ZX Spectrum in 1983 without any desire to use it.
But through his resilience and ingrained will to overcome any obstacles, he learned to speak English, and taught himself programming and game development - all in two years!
Mev established his reputation very quickly for both programming and game design. Furthermore, he won numerous nominations and awards from the specialist press for his work, in particular, for ‘Enduro Racer’ and ‘Last Ninja 2’.
More awards followed at his Vivid Image Developments Studio, which he co-founded with John Twiddy and Hugh Riley in 1988. ‘Time Machine’ (1990) - the Most Original Game, ‘First Samurai’ (1991) – Arcade Game of the Year, and the hugely successful ‘Street Racer’ on the Super Nintendo console.
The rest, as they say, is history!
This incredible story shows how Mev Dinc came from these humble beginnings and ended up becoming an award-winning developer, a member of BAFTA and the founding father of the Turkish Gaming Sector.
This intriguing rags-to-riches tale will inspire as much as it entertains.
