Dino Dini - Taking pride in his work more than 23 years later

Dino Dini, the creator of the Kick Off series, including the upcoming remake Kick Off Revival, posted a video on YouTube in January demonstrating how much pride he takes in his creations. It turns out that Dino Dini's Soccer (Dino's soccer game after he left Anco Software, before Anco released Kick Off 2), has an apparent bug when played on the Genesis emulator.

The nature of the bug is actually quite interesting in itself, but what I really like is Dino takes so much pride in his past creations that he works out why it's happening, a work around and creates the below video about it. All in effect to clear his name because he's worried someone plays it and thinks it's sloppy coding!  Remember this game was released in 1993 and being played by a relatively small number of players now, who probably never bought it!

If this is the pride he takes in his work, then I'm really looking forward to Kick Off Revival. Any issues and he will personally be driven to addressing them.
