D. B. Weiss, who wrote about
I'm interviewed (by Ivan Penn) -- and my Microsurgeon poster appears -- in the St. Petersburg Times (Florida, August 8, 2011). The article was also picked up by Bloomberg Businessweek. In the St. Petersburg Times (June 9, 2011), I enjoyed reading about Ivan Penn (columnist) and his kids playing “Microsurgeon”.
I'm excited! My game "Microsurgeon" (Imagic 1982) was one of 240 video games nominated to possibly appear in the Smithsonian Institution exhibit on "The Art of Video Games." "Microsurgeon" lost to a Tron game in the voting, but that doesn't mean it didn't get noticed. See "Yes, Video Games are Art...", Game Developer Magazine, April 2011, "The High Art of Games", and news from the Denver art scene.
The Classic Gaming Expo at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, July 31, 2010, was terrific! I had fun seeing several classic gaming developer friends for Intellivision and Atari at the show and gave a talk about the work that I did on handhelds, Intellivision, and TI 99/4a. Pictures here.
"This comic made me chuckle.
In the Photo Gallery you can find a 1982 Evening Magazine interview I did while working at Imagic. .
I was a guest speaker at the Games for Health conference in Boston (June 11 & 12, 2009). Ben Sawyer, co-director of the conference, and I discussed "Microsurgeon", considered one of the first video games about/for health. It was great to meet some fans, inspire today's health game designers, and to make new fans of the game. I've added a few pictures in my Photo Gallery.
By the way, you can purchase "Intellivision Rocks" with Microsurgeon here.
Other work activities I currently enjoy are technology research, game design & development, Mathematics/SAT tutoring, and Genealogy research.
Visit IMDB to see that I'm noted for my design and development work on the video game "Kids on Site".
On these pages which I will update from time to time, you'll find out where I've been and where I'm going. You'll also find various classic gaming links related to my games.
