About Honcho

Real name Robert Eriksson, from Stockholm, Sweden. I picked the handle “Honcho” from an Agent X9 comics magazine back in 1986 or 1987, even before we formed Public Enemies. After growing up in Sweden, I moved to France straight after Uni, spent 8 years there, then 18 years in London before relocating back to the South of France.

From the ZX81 to the C64, the Amiga 500, and beyond: retro computing has been a lifelong passion. Today I code, create graphics and release demos on the C64 scene with Pretzel Logic, having won trophies at demo parties with both Atlantis and Pretzel Logic along the way. When not pushing pixels I restore classic arcade PCBs, one dead chip at a time.
