A true unsung legend of the publishing industry, Nick Roberts started out poking around on Crash before launching, editing and even designing some of the UK's most iconic gaming mags. Given his clear plate-spinning talents, perhaps it's somewhat ironic then that the first videogame he ever played was Wacky Waiters!
