I worked for Taito of America in 1990-91 and designed the NES version of"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" so I got a good working knowledge ofthe NES.I knew Richard slightly when I was at Microsoft so when I left Taito Icontacted him and I told him a game I wanted to program -- and he said gofor it. Then later I saw the Trolls craze emerging so I suggested we reviseit with new levels with Trolls as the players. My daughter Cam helped mewith both the design and the animation for both these games. She is now atHarvard majoring in Computer Science. At that time one of Cam's friends was Masayo Arakawa (granddaughter of thehead of Nintendo) so the lawsuit was an embarrassment to me. I tried tomediate a few times but the parties were antagonistic. There was a TVsegment done on AVE that would be worth your while tracking down altho Ihave no idea where to start looking for it. These are two of my favorite games and one day I hope to adapt them toanother machine. The timing is so critical that doing it on the PC would bevery hard. |
