                  Back 
                    in the 1980's Ed started on the Sinclair Spectrum, graduating 
                    up through the Atari ST and Amiga until settling many years 
                    ago onto the PC platform. During his career he has designed 
                    and coded over twenty strategy games with a combined sales 
                    of well over 500,000 units. 
                     
                    Ed founded Edward Grabowski Communications Ltd.in October 
                    1994 (many believe that this is the worst company name in 
                    the business). Between 1994 and 2000 the company has developed 
                    and shipped five original PC titles. That's not including 
                    German, Italian, Spanish, French and Japanese versions of 
                    the games, and budget releases that see the games still selling 
                    some five years after first publication. Ed is now focused 
                    on creating original PC games for sale via PlaceforGames. |
