Almost New Years!
Fuck! Time sure does fly! 2013 is a milestone year for me, professionally, as it marks my 30th year in the games industry, making games for the unwashed masses to gorge themselves on. During those illustrious 30 years, I’ve worked on more than 50 commercially published games, and a bunch that never saw the inside of a Best Buy. It’s been an interesting ride, that’s for sure. I made some cool stuff, and made some crap stuff. I started some cool companies, and worked for some cool companies, and also worked for some crap companies. I met lots of awesome people, and hardly any that I didn’t like. I got to see the World, and have many adventures. 2013 will be a year long celebration of an accidental career, and I will attempt to write some of the more interesting stuff down. I’m thinking of writing a “tell all exposé”.

I still look back on Pub Quest with fondness. It was the first adventure game I ever bought. I didn’t get very far. However, thirty years later I still tell people of the little trick you put in when the program was struggling to understand what had been typed in.
Thanks for helping start my interest in computer games.
