A jack of all trades, Derek Brewster has held a number of different jobs in his time within the computer game industry. One of the lead programmers for the software label [[Micromega]] (who had initial success on the [[ZX Spectrum]] and were earmarked by [[Amsoft]] to be among the first software houses to be given access to the top secret [[CPC]]), Brewster moved on from the group in 1985, around the same point as the company began to implode.

Brewster took up a post at the groundbreaking Spectrum magazine ''Crash'' as an adventure game reviewer. Brewster divided his time between penning games and freelance programming work for [[Mastertronic]], [[Codemasters]] & [[Tynesoft]].

In 1987, Brewster moved on from his post at ''Crash'' to help set-up the budget label [[Zeppelin Games]] with fellow ex-Micromega programmer, the 17-year-old [[Brian Jobling]].
