I had a Commodore PET and when my friends got tired of playing the games that came with it, on tape, I bought this book and the second one.
I heavily modified Super Star Trek and shortly after wrote my first game for sale, Galactic Conquest. Which was a clone of the same game on the Apple II by Broderbund.
Cut to the chase, this coming May I celebrate 30 years of making video games professionally.
Without these books, and nagging friends, I'm not sure what I would have done for a living.
- bemmu 16y agoDid you sell many copies of Galactic Conquest?
- Macsenour 16y agoI think we sold about 50 or 100. It was sold in one store and I recall getting a check from them, but they kept the lions share of course.
- wlievens 16y agoDid you work on any titles I might know? On PC, that is, I never played games on anything earlier.
- Macsenour 16y agoI worked on mostly console of the years, but you'll find my name on Spec-Ops and Majesty for the PC. I went from a programmer to producer in 1990ish.
