Peter Minor, the well-known games developer, spoke to me recently about the success of his company. River Run, his latest computer game, will be in the shops on Monday.

I was lucky enough to be able to try it last week, and I believe it's even better than his last game, Underground, which is great fun, too. River Run has fantastic sound effects and the players get a lot of action.

At 28, he manages a team of more than 100 people, but Peter never dreamed of working with computer games when he was younger. It's unusual for him to work less than 12 hours a day, but he doesn’t mind because he loves his job. Peter and his managers are always thinking of new projects.

Peter comes up with ideas for new games all the time. But it takes about three years before the game can be sold in the shops. Many of his ideas come from ‘testers: These are young people in the town who are invited to come and try the games. Then they say what they enjoy about the games or what else they want to be able to do.
