So, that was back in high school. I worked for Sir-tech right through college and into the next century.
Eighteen years, all told. I grew up in the game industry going from a gamer to a game designer during the
course of those years.
On favorite games:
?· Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord: I created my party of adventurers and headed o?¬?
into the dungeon??”and it was magical. I mean that. I??™d never experienced anything like that before.
My work hours were 4??“8, but I??™d come in at 3 and leave at 9 . . . then 2 and leave at 10. I was so completely
immersed in that world. It was also on Wizardry that I had my ?¬? rst mod experience. There
was an in-house tool that we used to make levels for the game, and I??™d tinker with that thing for
hours just building whatever the hell amused me. I still remember that experience with the fondness
many remember their ?¬? rst kiss, and believe it or not, I still have that original Wizardry 5.25???
disk with my characters on it. I feel for today??™s designers who grew up with digital games and can??™t
solidly remember their ?¬? rst gaming experience like I do.
