A really interesting trail of videos and posts lead me to discover new things about the people behind Particle Systems and the I-War series.
Recently, I stumbled upon the YouTube channel Pixelmusement and it’s Ancient DOS Games series. He made a video about Evasive Action there and talked about it being developed by Particle Systems and Glyn Williams:
While that is interesting, because it seems to be not a really good game, I thought: “Hey – is Glyn Williams on the internet somewhere?”
A little Google-fu later: He is using Twitter for several years and a custom search reveals that he has only made one tweet about I-War in all of that time:

The tweet itself is very interesting, though:
I am in this month’s GamesTM. Talking about Independence War.
But too ugly for a photo apparently.
What? An interview I’ve never read or never even heard about? Woah!
GamesTM is a magazine. Magazines have forums. A little search in it reveals a bit more about that article:

And there we have it! They made a big article about I-War in gamesTM issue 134 and they also give us the new website of Andy Turner in their forums:

Now I only need to get this magazine from somewhere. Want to read it…
Edit: It can be bought here! The article is called “Behind the Scenes: The I-War Series”.
Space. The final frontier.
