Paul Griffiths signs deal with Retro-Soft

Thanks to Shaun Bebbington of Retro Bytes PR for forwarding a press release from Retro-Soft, the group (that I think I haven't mentioned here before *cough*) whose aim is to develop and re-release games software on a variety of "retro" platforms. And the ZX (which isn't retro, dammit).
Retro-Soft, a division of Alten8, have signed up Paul Griffiths to be a lead coder. In case you didn't know (or didn't click the link), he's the guy behind classics such as Dominion, Steg, and the quality Shark (which some company sent me on tape years ago for no apparent reason). Many of his games are up for re-release, tho' I guess Codemasters will keep some locked in a box away from the fans, coz they're nice like that.
I'm gonna cut-n-paste the press-release below, as I can't upload it to the server from work. But hey, these things happen. Click-on...
