1. What did Peter Molyneux want to be when he was young? What made him decide to go into game development?

Well, I always wanted to be rich and run my own company, but beyond that I had no idea what I wanted to be. At school I got the lowest marks of any boy, either before or since. I didn't really have any special talents that shone out. As for games development, that happened by accident. I had fulfilled my dream of running my own company with a friend of mine, Les Edgar. Our company was called Taurus and we specialized in writing computer databases.

One day we got a call from Commodore who were just launching the Amiga and wanted to position it as a business machine. They invited me to their offices. So off I went and they kept talking about how they wanted to see my product on their machines – and that to help us do that they would give us ten machines for free. Halfway through this meeting I realised they had called the wrong Taurus. They thought I was from another company called TORUS. I debated whether to explain their mistake to them, but in the end the temptation of ten free machines was too great. Once we had them in the office we were offered the chance to convert Druid 2 from the Atari St to the Amiga and my career in games development began.​
