He might have got a job coding, but my wonder comes from, releasing so little, but ramping up so fast to Hawkeye standard. Thats really something. |

Since when number of releases is an indicator of skills? you don't have to release every test you do, one could even keep everything for himself =) |

Since never. He could have kept everything for himself. He along with the rest of who made up BWB kept this to themselves:
'Together with some friends we started Boys Without Brains and started programming games (We weren't interested in making demo's, just games). We tried to make Gauntlet, Ghouls and Ghosts, and Rygar. But all those games came out before we finished ours so that's when we started Hawkeye.' - MvZ
Would be cool to see those previews. US Gold's official Rygar was dire.
Interview with MvZ:

It appears he learnt basic on Texas Instruments 99/4a I got it around 1979, and jumped into assembly language on the Commodore 64, and wasn't interested in making demo's, just games. |

Well, actually, as Mario is right in my reach, i could ask him to do an interview, and we make some nice detailed stuff for a coming diskmag...?
Was he interviewed before ? |
