On ge ing into the game industry:
I started ge ing paid to make games before you could buy games in
stores. Back in those days, you bought special magazines or books
?¬? lled with games wri en in a programming language called ???BASIC.??? The reader would have to type the
entire game that they wanted to play into their computer by hand. Sometimes it would take them hours,
then when they tried to actually play the game, if they had made one single typo, the game would likely
break and they could spend another hour just looking for their mistake. Interestingly, by ge ing to see the
code, you quickly learn how it works. So that??™s what I did; I wrote tons of games to be printed in magazines
and, ?¬? nally, books. When games were sold in stores, I was o?¬? ered a job to start making a ???real??? professional
game (in a box), so I le school at 17 (without a degree) and never looked back.
On favorite games:
I like Ba le?¬? eld: 1942 and Grand The Auto III because you feel you can do anything. The world is your
oyster. You can choose to play the way the game wants you to or choose to just have fun and entertain
yourself.
