I grew up with my dad selling Apple 2 clones (no not Franklins :) so I
had hardware to play with (minus a color monitor. Would borrow the
family TV when I could.)  Inhaled "Nibble" magazine.  Learnt 6502 so I
could
a) cheat at games
b) learn how they worked (i.e. map data)
c) krack games  (it's 'k' not 'c' !)
Eventually got a B.Sc. in Computer Science.

Work: Computer Systems Analyst in the Games Industry.  Design &
Implement low-level and high-level code for various platforms.  Used
to be heavy into 3D programming, but currently doing more game play
work. Have shipped professional games on PSX (yes PS1), PC, PS2, Wii,
and DS.

Play: When not playing Diablo 2 LOD, fixing AppleWin's Debugger so it
doesn't suck as much!  Gaming of every genre.  Getting into DS
homebrew.  Racing Motorcycles.  HP48SX/GX game design & development.
