Will work for games...
Co-founder of GarageGames and, before that, Dynamix a development studio for Sierra/Vivendi/Universal. Director, designer, or producer of over 70 titles including The Incredible Machine, Starsiege: Tribes, Trophy Bass, and the 3D Ultra line of family products. Here is my Wikipedia entry that I didn't even know existed until I needed to fill out this profile. Also, here is my Mobygames profile as well. I'm a little older than the me in that picture now:)Be sure to check out my blog, Make It Big In Games for more information about how to make a living in this crazy business. If you think it sounds cool to make games, then be sure to check out GarageGames to get the technology you need to make your game.
Outside of games I am in the process of starting Furrer Farms, a 200 acre organic farm. For fun, I ride motorcycles (Yamaha FZ-1 and YZ250F), play in a rock band Procrastinators, lift Olympic weights, and spend a lot of time with my family. You can see my personal blog at jefftunnell .
Make great games... have fun!

Worked on this one too, but it continues to be one of my favorites, and still needs to be on this list.
I love adventure games. Lucasarts are some of the best, and inspired me to make Rise of the Dragon, Heart of China, and Willy Beamish.
Jon, Aaron, and I used to crank this up on our home LAN before multi-player was cool.
Once you start playing, you can't stop. Just one more click to see if those little dots (Sims) will do what you want.

Today is Bill Gates‘ last day on the job at Microsoft, and I find it a little sad and nostalgic. Believe it or not, there are very few people in the world that have been more influential on the game industry than Bill. Probably Miamoto, but I can’t readily think of any body else. [...] ...

Places You Need To Visit
As I spoke with folks at the Disney party, I started gushing to them about how M.U.L.E. was, and is, one of my favorite games.
