Hi Thomas,
One example is Carl Mickla, who graduated from college with a degree
in computer programming in 1995.
He released his Any Night Football game in September 1995 written in C
plus plus for DOS.
In September 2001, Carl Mickla got a job with IBM and moved to
Poughkeepsie, New York.
In the six years he worked with me at PCS games he programmed 8
Windows games that were sold on CD and the following 18 DOS games
that were sold on floppy disk:
Arthur's Quest.
A 2 Z Key Search.
Breakout.
Cops.
Fox And Hounds.
Haze Maze.
Mind Puzzles.
Mobius Mountain.
Monopoly.
P C S Car Racing Circuit.
P C S Duck Hunt.
P C S Space Invaders.
Pack Man.
Panzers In North Africa.
Red Dragon Kick Boxing Challenge.
Shooting Range.
Snipe Hunt.
Tenpin Bowling.
Most of the 26 games were developed between 1996 and 2000 or about 6
per year and cost $30 to $40 which would be about $60 to $80 today
based on inflation.
Back in our peak year of 1999, we also sold games for
Harry Hollingsworth, Ivan G. Roelofs and David Greenwood before he
started GMA Games. None of these games were sold as downloads, only
physical disks sold through Ann Morris Enterprises, A Division of
Independent Living Aids, Inc.
I don't have the accurate total, but I think we sold about $20,000 in
games that year, divided up between all the above people.
Carl stopped game development because he could earn three times that
total by himself working at IBM.
Phil
