Raffaele Cecco (born 10 May 1967) is a British video games developer who has created numerous video games since 1984, including Cybernoid and Exolon . He grew up in Tottenham in North London. Spurred by an interest in computers, he received his first computer, a Sinclair ZX81, as a birthday gift from his parents in 1981 and began programming simple games in BASIC. [1] [2] [3]

The Cecco's Collection compilation was released by Hewson in 1990. It includes Exolon, Cybernoid, Cybernoid II, and Stormlord. Your Sinclair awarded the compilation 92%, calling it a fine three-year collection of Cecco's achievements and a succinct history of Spectrum programming to that date. The reviewer, Andy Ide, considered Cecco one of the Spectrum's biggest stars. [5]
