Welcome to Disk Cleanup, our regular weekend column delving into the PCs of PC gaming luminaries. Come back every weekend to read a new interview, digging into the important questions, like "how tidy is your desktop?" and "what game will you never uninstall?"
Narrative designer Cara Ellison got into gaming via the BBC Micro her father had stolen from work. "He was like 'I'm borrowing it so I can work from home.' He wasn't. He stole it and he never gave it back", she says. The first game to grab her attention was the 1987 narrative adventure Acheton. "I couldn't read or write at the time, and I was determined to be able to talk to the computer."
