And here's me thinking he won something for Elite : Dangerous. Guessed wrong.

I guess the original Elite was pretty "unique" back then.

I say 'good on you', well done. In 12 months time you'll get one of those for ED {i hope !}

In addition to his work on Elite and his more than 30 years as a game developer - latterly at his major UK studio Frontier Developments - Braben was also involved in the genesis of the Raspberry Pi, a 'hobbyist computer' which enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to program in languages like Scratch and Python. Braben helped to found the Raspberry Pi Foundation and guide the program through to mass production - with more than 4 million of the devices now manufactured.

Well derseved, I had no idea he was involved in the Pi to this extent thought he was just an avid follower
