Andrew Oliver – Co-founder, Game Dragons

Andrew (and brother Philip) rose to fame as the ‘Oliver Twins’ in the 1980s when they developed the Simulator series and Dizzy games which became one of the most famous video game characters of the 1980s. They founded Blitz Games in 1990 and built it into one of the largest and most successful UK game development studios until 2012, when they set up Radiant Worlds with co-founder Richard Smithies which they sold to Rebellion in January 2019. After being Studio Heads for Rebellion Warwick, they left to set up a games consulting agency called Game Dragons to pursue their passion for inspiring and supporting the next generation of UK game developers.
