Dominic Robinson (born 1965) is a computer game programmer. He came to prominence in 1986, [1] as an in-house programmer for Hewson Consultants, when he converted Uridium to the Spectrum (a feat previously considered impossible) [2] in 1986. This was followed by another classic Spectrum shoot-em up, Zynaps , and a puzzle/shooter, Anarchy, both of which were released in 1987. After leaving Hewson, he joined Graftgold to work on the Spectrum conversion of Flying Shark , as well as the Amiga and Atari ST versions of Simulcra and Rainbow Islands .

Robinson left Graftgold to pursue his interest in 3D graphics, moving to Leeds-based Vektor Grafix. [3] This company was later absorbed into Microprose. [4] When Microprose closed their Leeds studio, he went on to form Wayward Design, which he later sold to Rage Software. [5]
