Game on at Teesside

Renowned computer games developer Ernest Adams will deliver a free lecture at the University of Teesside on Wednesday 14 January. Entitled ‘Putting the Ghost in the Machine’ the lecture will take place at 2pm in Room OL1, Europa Building, Woodlands Road, Middlesbrough.

Clive Fencott, Senior Lecturer at the University's School of Computing, said: “Having Ernest Adams visit Teesside to deliver a free talk is an excellent opportunity for local people to find out more about the computer game business, and the realities of working in the industry. He has worked on a number of computer games, written the book Break into the Game Industry and delivers talks all over the world. This talk is a must for anyone who is interested in working in the game industry in the future, or has a serious interest in computer games as a discipline.”
