Met Boon a number of times at E3 conventions - nice guy!
- flashgordon 4y agoOk dont laugh at me. Having grown up outside the US - I never even got a chance to go to E3 :(. Have to atleast take my kids there!
- not_real_acct 4y agoYep. I met him too. He was open and honest, basically convinced me NOT to work on videogames lol
- lachstar-x 4y agoCare to share the story or what he said to convince you not to work in videogames?
- StanislavPetrov 4y agoHe may have been saying, "don't work on arcade games". Boon's last major arcade game was "The Grid", which was (in my opinion) a well-made game, but unfortunately it came out during the end of the arcade era. It was a very expensive cabinet at a time when arcades were dying down that pretty much marked the turning of Midway's fortunes (and the arcade industry in general).
