About

Welcome to Alternative Magazine Online. My name is Martin Mulrooney, and I am a professional writer and editor based in the UK. By day, I am the editor for the UK office of a worldwide online reputation management company. By night, I write about the things I love and interview the people behind them.

I started this website in 2009 (shortly after graduating from university) as the online version of a printed magazine I created called Alternative Magazine. Over the years, I have interviewed many prominent creatives including game designers, actors, voice actors, artists, directors, authors, musicians and composers.

I was previously a writer for Adventure Classic Gaming. I also voiced two characters in the popular Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of the Templars fan game by MindFactory, and I have tested point-and-click adventure games for Wadjet Eye Games (Puzzle Bots, Gemini Rue, Blackwell Deception) and Venture Moon Industries (Duke Grabowski: Mighty Swashbuckler!).

I continue to do consultation work in relation to future projects for Charles Cecil and Revolution Software (the British game studio behind classic adventures such as Broken Sword and Beneath a Steel Sky).

In 2022, I worked with legendary video game designer, programmer and Revolution Software co-founder Tony Warriner on his new book Revolution: The Quest for Game Development Greatness as both editor and contributor.
