HERO WORSHIP

Readers reveal their own celebrity encounters

Bobson Dugnutt

Meeting Shigeru Miyamoto at Virgin Megastore early Noughties, for a signing.

Luke The Fox VA

Met Crush 40, Mike Pollock and Takashi Iizuka at Summer Of Sonic in London some years back. They were really great people.

I interviewed Tekken main man Katsuhiro Harada for a martial arts mag. He couldn’t have been more accommodating, putting on our shirt and striking cool poses. Top bloke!

PHORV

I once saw Peter Molyneux in Wimbledon Village but he was talking to someone and I was young and I didn’t have the balls to approach and say hi #missedopportunity.

I met Clive Sinclair in Dublin about 35 years ago and Shigeru Miyamoto when F-zero GX was released in the arcades. Absolutely brilliant.

Noe V.

My daughter and I were at the Disneyland Hotel talking about games that were criminally under-appreciated like Psychonauts. A minute later, Tim Schafer turned the corner. It was surreal.

David Sheppard

Meeting the living legend that is

John Romero at Revival in Wolverhampton. He was entertaining, charming and seeing that hair never fails to impress.

Michael Loukoumis

Meeting Kojima at the Peace Walker launch at HMV on Oxford Street. I still have my signed copy!

William

I saw Iain Lee at the London Gaming Market. I just gave him a discernible nod. Respect!

Joruus

I met Shigeru Miyamoto two years running at ECTS. Despite a clear communication barrier, he was kind enough to stop for a photo. Unfortunately that was before camera phones, and neither picture on my disposable camera worked! Gutted.
