David Bowie - Connect Four

[Mad Cyril]

Connect Four

Was anyone else aware that David Bowie was involved in the development of the 70's MB game Connect Four?

Or is this another case of Wikipedia spouting bolleaux?

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

He does own part of the copyright for Connect 4 but did not have any involvement in the development of the game

Ah yup just found out its source that wag Stuart Maconie in NME

Stuart Maconie in the NME in an obviously fake ‘Did You Know?’-type column. (Among his other revelations were that Neil Tennant was a qualified rugby official, David Bowie had invented Connect 4 and Billy Bragg could breathe underwater.)

He also started the rumour that Bob Holness played the sax solo on Baker Street.
