90 - Dale Luck
86 - R. J. Mical
69 - Andi Finkel

@drHirudo

Couple of alterations/additions by number/name/reason:

9 - Hans-Joerg Frieden - Core OS4 Developer (could be transposed)
33 - Mat Bettinson - CU Amiga Writer
40- Jason Compton - CU Amiga Writer
73 - Thomas Frieden - Core OS4 Developer (could be transposed)
103 - George Peppard - No idea why!

I may have got the Friedens the wrong way round!

Rude!

EDIT: spelling

Ah, I knew that #86 is R.J. Mical, now I don't think I'll guess any of those who are left.

That serves me right when I'm in other threads writing non-serious posts.

Number 3 is Terry Pratchett, didn't realise he was an Amigan but apparently he is!

The others I knew have been posted already.

I knew I recognised him but couldn't place him! I think the whole 'Diggers' game tie-in scenario happened because of him, or at least he was keen for the game to be adapted from the book.

Oh yes. The A-Team action sequences were rendered entirely on a host of VT equipped A2000s.

Well, as I recall, we needed a name for this competition back in 2007, and had different ideas for a name.

The one that sounded most fun was AWompetition.

Word game from AW (amigaworld) and competition.
Recall it was Zardoz proposal. :)

so this is "The AW 25th Anniversary Celebration Puzzle Competition" alternatively AWompetition 2

Mitchy is there - you just need to look a lot closer... It's what the zoom feature is for.
