Handle id #22650 : Alf Yngve

I just wondered. Is this guy from Denmark?

How do you know it's the same person? I couldn't find anything C64 related at all.

You are absolutely right. I found the link here: http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/features/interview-with-alf-yngve-..

The interview says nothing about which Scandinavian country, but it's nevertheless interesting reading. And it says it's his official home page, but it seems we cannot be 100% sure of this.

Reading the interview a bit closer reveals the following:

"Well, when I could find it, anyhow (it wasn’t sold in many kiosks in Sweden, for some inscrutable reason)."

"It strikes me now, how strange and naive this young man Alf Yngve must’ve seemed to those magazine editors in the early 1990s – a Swedish “idiot savant” appearing out of nowhere."

"In fact, during the 1980s and 1990s the Swedish cultural establishment treated computer games as a suspect activity"

There's also a hit on Swedish white pages for this rather uncommon name.

Do we need further proof? :)
