Together with his brother Bo Andersson they formed a proud alliance that would many years later go down into history as “The Greatest Co-Op of Man”.

One day Ulf stumbled upon the legendary Floppy in the Stone. The item was said to bless whomever with eternal inspiration, save they managed to pull the Floppy from the stone and reboot the system. Albeit still very young, Ulf grabbed the Floppy and pulled it out effortlessly. He was the Chosen One.

Through the combined powers of creativity and leadership the Brothers Andersson gathered their forces to roam the Lands of Game Development. This was the beginning of an era later known as “The Reign of GRIN”. GRIN's relentless onslaught claim many game development victories even into the present day. It is truly a golden era.

More victories were claimed and more allies joined Ulf - Champion of Creativity. Sweetest of Ulf’s all sidekicks was Isabella The Great And Yet Very Small.

Ulf had claimed many victories in his life. He had crossed The Desert of Dried Out Ideas. He had slain countless Champions Of The Mind Of Artistic Void. And as always the greatest opponent was Shadow Ulf – his own ambition to always push the envelope and be better.

Thirty years has he blessed the world with his presence. Thirty years of glorious thinking and brilliant ideas. Thirty years of brainstorming, crunching and creation. But the reign is far from over...
