Hello American chums. This is London calling from the United States of BritishLand. We have been made aware of the confuselment you guys are in over the release of Mercury on the PSP. “Archer Maclean?” we hear you twang, “who in the name of Christian fundamentalism is he?”
Much supposition and conjecture is abound it would seem, and yes, you are right, he did do some Billiards game ages ago on President Jack Tramiel’s Commodore Amiga.
Well, as Mr. Maclean is part of the historical establishment of the British Gaming Scene, we see it as our responsibility to fully enlighten a few minds on just who this great man is.
Here’s our quick-start guide to Archer Maclean, the man, the myth, the legend.
