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.
Due to the popularity of Cecco's video games he was asked to write a monthly diary for CRASH magazine, the first installment being 15 April 1988.[1] The diary documented the development of Stormlord.
He first started programming on a ZX81 and his first release was Cop-Out, published by Mikro-Gen in 1986.[2]
