Wild Thang (Richard Wildey) was a British CPC coder, graphic artist, member of STS and proprietor of Sentinel Software. Among his programs were TUSS (The Ultimate Sprite Searcher) and DesText.
Richard wrote for both Amstrad Action and CPC Attack!, and also contributed to BTL. He appeared in the BTL 4 intro as "Mr Yellow", with a deliberately awful picture chosen by Hangman, to poke fun at his continued failure to turn up to STS meetings.
